Mayday From A Green Eyed Brunette

…damsel in distress

Delving In The Dungeon: Part 11 “…hey, check this out”

Before anyone can begin looting, Erasmus casts Detect Magic on the whole room. Oddly, while none of the boxes, bags or coffins seem to hold anything magical, the whole rear wall of the room seems to be infused with low level magic. He points this out to the rest of the group, then goes to examine the wall physically.

Knute, who is feeling very uneasy about those coffins (no doubt owing to several encounters with the undead during his early days as an adventurer), follows Erasmus. He has his weapon drawn and at the ready.

Amalia stands just outside the door, keeping a watchful eye on the passageway and the door where they heard the noises. Every so often, she glances in the room and gives helpful looting hints.

Duncan, Fergus and Periwinkle begin their looting activities. This is how it goes…

Duncan throws open the lid on the first coffin and finds it empty. Moving to the second coffin, he repeats the process and again finds nothing. Knute’s sigh of relief is audible even to Amalia out in the hallway.

Fergus starts opening boxes. Most of them contain old, mostly rotted clothes and blankets. A couple are empty.

Periwinkle looks through the sacks and finds that they hold rusty spoons, forks and other kitchen items. The pile of rags conceals nothing.

More than a bit disgusted with the total lack of loot so far, our Looters Three turn their attention to the wax sealed barrel. After a bit of discussion…and Erasmus’ assurance that the barrel contains nothing magical…they remove the lid.

The barrel is full of honey. Good honey, with a slight berry flavor, but just honey.

As Fergus, Duncan and Periwinkle start in to griping, two things happen.

Erasmus, muttering to himself, pokes the magical wall with his finger. He promptly disappears. Knute gives forth with a loud “What the…?”

The door to the “noisy room” starts to slowly open. Amalia quietly sounds the alarm to her friends, then steps into the room and closes the door to a mere slit, allowing her to see what comes out of the other room.

So, Brave Adventurers, what next?
