Re: Keep going
Not being skilled in pantomime, Ulwe answers Draxim in plain words, though spoken as quietly as possible:
"I do not know what these writings mean. Until I do, I'll just keep these ones here." He says patting his scrollcase.
Then he cups his ear and points at Draxim then at the door.

Re: Keep going
Pogar, not moving and staying as silent as he possibly can, will look down the other pathway and will look for any type of movement or anything unusual.

Re: Keep going
Madragar nods to Ulwe's question. *It looks as though we're in some monster's gullet,* he thinks.

Re: Keep going
Draxim sighs exasperated, tehn whispers quietly," I want you to write the words down so they will go away again.
Draxim quietly starts scouting the other tunnel (the one without the door.)
He will only go as far as the turn though.

Re: Keep going
Ulwe moves to Atan.
"Captain we should check that door. Yours are the keenest ears here." He says to the Ranger with a quiet voice.
Ulwe waits with the lantern at least 25 feet from the door, so no light will betray the presence of the companions.

Re: Keep going
Draxim scuttles down the northeastern passage to where it makes a turn to the left. Peeking around the corner he sees that the tube slithers one way and then the other, forming a tight S. Draxim also notices that the passage begins to bend downward slightly in this area.
Atan advances, steps over the line of inscriptions, and puts his ear to the door - his body casting a long shadow from the single lantern Ulwe holds aloft some twenty feet away. Suddenly there is an audible thunk, so close that it makes Atan jump. Looking up the ranger sees a narrow panel in the door has opened at about head-level. It is the kind of opening that a guard, on the other side, might use to safely observe what is going on in the tunnel.
Atan instinctively ducks down, hoping to keep himself hidden. He can't see who is on the other side, but can clearly hear a handful of muffled voices talking quickly in Olmani.
Ulwe and the others at the intersection also hear the sound of the panel being pulled aside, and can clearly see the opening in the door. It isn't hard to imagine that whoever is beyond the door can see them as well.

Re: Keep going
Draxim notices the hub bub and quickly retreats to the intersection, but remains out of sight of the far door for now.

Re: Keep going
When hearing the loud thunk, Pogar will instinctively duck as well, following suit of Atan. Immediately Pogar feels kind of stupid, as he realizes that if someone was to peer out the hole, he would be seen, most likely. However, Pogar will take this moment to feel the stone floor.
Does it feel like stone to him? From living a life underground, Pogar wonders if he would have ever heard of stories of stuff like this. (Underground Lore +1)

Re: Keep going
To Pogar the floor of the tunnel feels like real stone, smooth like a pebble taken from the bottom of a river.

Re: Keep going
[OOC: If the party is all out in the hallway and can be seen then.....]
Atan not wishing to lose the advantage throws his wieght against the door before they have time to lock it.

Re: Keep going
Alas, the door is already locked. Atan throws himself against the thick, iron-reinforced door and is bounced instantly to the floor with a bruised shoulder.

Re: Keep going
[gm can we get a map please? ]
"We have not gotten what we came here for." He says to Draxim while readying his spear for battle.
[Can he hold the lantern while he holds his small shield?]
[If the lantern were tied with a rope or chain he could sling it over the front of his shield. It might get destroyed but would provide light for Ulwe and Atan. As it is now, no. -GM]

Re: Keep going
The party is at a three way intersection with tunnels going west, northeast and southeast.
The stairway leading up to Uruul's shop is several hundred feet to the west.
To the northeast the tunnel extends about forty feet before turning. Draxim scouted it out but couldn't see much beyond the S turn.
To the southeast, about thirty feet away, is the door. Atan is currently on his butt in front of it, rubbing his shoulder. Everyone else is at the intersection.

Re: Keep going
Heart pounding, Khelzhad slowly moves his hand to the sword hilt at his side. However Atan's unusual actions and Draxim's sudden departure have their effect on the young dwarf's nerves, and he shuffles his feet uneasily at being exposed so quickly on their urgent errand.

Re: Keep going
"I thought we came for information? I don't think they are going to have a chat with us at this point. If we fight that bunch we will likely lose. If we delay they will seal up the exit up top. Let's go."
Draxim moves toward the exit.

Re: Keep going
"This is no time for debate." Says Ulwe over his shoulder to Draxim.
"We've faced far worse, and prevailed. Stand with us."
