I pocket the necklace as well

[vagsancho]

From my years passed with a necromancer, i have learnt something about magic. Unfortunately my advanced old age made me forget almost everything. However one thing i sill remember is an Ice Spell.
"i ll do the firt move! " kradon shouts!
“I will atack the creature with my ice spell!!“

[johnbrawn1972]

I move to guard the north door.

"I fear we are fighting a battle on two fronts"

[a moderator]

"Rush them as soon as the doors open. Try not to let them into the room - that way only as many as can fit in the doorway will be able to attack at the same time."

As the adventurers brace themselves for an inevitable clash between good and evil, Prek grabs the silver necklace. I assume you place it in your backpack?

Again the party hears a rumbling sound, followed by the loud siren, followed by the sound of footsteps coming from all directions.

[kieran]

"We keep hearing these sirens and trampling feet, but no enemies emerge. Are we certain this isn't some sort of trick?"

[a moderator]

Sword at the ready just in case Talbion is mistaken, yanks open the south door.

[johnbrawn1972]

"Test the theory"

I pick up the pouch and place it in my backpack after looking at the contents.

[johnbrawn1972]

"What with the door and now a phantom raiding party this is one weird dungeon."

"The only thing that bothers me is whether the items are cursed or traps in some sense. When we leave the room we will just have to find out."

"After inspecting the pouch I offer to leave through the East door first to see if there any ill effects."

"I would suggest wielding the axe and wearing the necklace to see if there any magical effects or otherwise."

[champskees]

Throma opens the southern door while Civil takes the pouch, has a look inside, then places it in his backpack.

Civilservicus

SPOILER: Click to show

The pouch contains one gold coin.

As soon as Civil has touched the pouch, a rumbling sound is heard. He smiles wryly and takes the pouch off the wall. Again the party hears a loud siren and footsteps coming from all directions...but Throma can see out the southern passageway, and although footsteps are coming from that direction, the passageway appears empty!

[johnbrawn1972]

Civil places the pouch with one gold coin in his backpack.

"I am prepared after this strange encounter to exit through the east door as a test. Will someone back me up?"

"I think we need to be prepared for both real and imagined encounters."

[a moderator]

Turns back to the wall and finds the pouch gone.
"Oh. It's going to be like that, is it?"

[vagsancho]

"Do not worry.
I will back you up with all my strength."

[daredevil123]

"As I daresay Kradon's strength is lacking, I, too, will assist you."

(Can I ask for adjudication on this? I believe everybody withdrew from the items but one brave soul took the axe. All the other items were claimed except the pouch.)

"I will use the coin for a toll or bribe possibly to gain the crystal key".

[champskees]

It looks like a few of the adventurers have decided to approach the eastern door. You try the handle...and find the door unlocked. On the other side of the doorway is another room.

This room is bare walled and empty. You have entered through the only door. It is roughly square, with rocky walls and floor.

It is perhaps worth noting that the sirens and the sounds of footsteps have disappeared from the other room. All is silent, save for the adventurers themselves and the crackling of the torch held in Murg's hand.

[johnbrawn1972]

"I will enter the room and search for secret doors or panels."

"Does anyone want to search with me to speed things up?"

[a moderator]

"Somebody had better hold the door open in case this is a trap. And if there's any treasure found in here, whoever's on the door ought to get a fair share without having to leave their post and come into the room to stake a claim. Does that sound reasonable?"

[johnbrawn1972]

"Yes this is a group endeavour and I made the commitment to that a very short while ago".

[daredevil123]

"I will search too."

[a moderator]

"Choose a wall to check."

[daredevil123]

Redric walks over to the north wall and presses his ear to it (7).

[kieran]

"I will hold the door. Be careful friends, nothing appears to be what it seems in this dungeon thus far."

[a moderator]

Starts checking the south wall. (7)

[deadshadowrunner]

I check the eastern wall (6)

[johnbrawn1972]

"Seems the only wall left is the west wall"(is it 2d6? very rusty on this (9))

"What about the floor? I will check that as well(6)"

"If anyone needs to recover all things being equal this might be a decent refuge as only one person needs to guard the door."

[vagsancho]

"I will check the floor."

[vagsancho]

"Aiihh. . Oh my god my back hurts so much... I am not able to check the floor.. It seems youre alone in that my friend"
