    Edwin watches Kivan and Eldoth with a smirk on his lips.

    "Ah good, we have found ham and liquor, I doubt the two of you will be any more useless while bloated and drunk. I had thought perhaps to get to the bottom of this haunting mystery, but alas my intellect is wasted once again with the babysitting of these lesser minds."

    Edwin begins to look through the locker with little hope of finding anything useful.

    @Delvarian The light brown liquid is ale... cheap ale. In going through the wooden bin, Edwin finds it full of food. Black bread, dried beans, flour, some animal fat in a crock, dried fruit, a small container of salt and a small amount of honey.

    "Ooooh, bread!"

    *Starts slicing the ham and sausage to make sandwiches for everyone.*

    Really you boys eat anything... Hope it's not poisoned.

    I'll go and listen at the dongerous door and then at the other one. I will check for traps on both and try to undo the lock on the locked one.

    I'll also take a look at the bolt of cloth. Is it pretty?

    "Do you want a sandwich or not?"

    Alora hears nothing at either door. Picking open the lock on the door reveals a small room, perhaps 12' by 20'. This room is obviously the abode of someone senior to those living in the cellar, as it is clean and tidy, as if kept so by a servant. The furnishings are also less crude. The room is lit by a three-candle candlestick, and the candles, while not new, are not close to being spent, either. There is a comfortable bed in the northwest corner with a wooden locker at its foot. A small wooden table stands against the east wall, and a padded leather chair is beside it. The brass candlestick is on the table, and the candles give the room good illumination.

    Under the table is a small wooden box and a bullseye lantern with a moveable shutter over the lens. The lantern is unlit.

    On a shelf above the table are stacked three books.

    In the northeast corner is a wooden cupboard with the door closed.

    Edwin! I found some books! Edwin! Are they magic books?

    After making enough noise to wake the dead, Alora will remember that she is supposed to be sneakign about and will go and listen at the cupboard door, then check for traps. She will then unlock and open it.

    Kivan speaks while chewing a mouthful of sandwich.

    "I'm guessing that there will be a rabid weasel or a giant spider in the cupboard. Let Minsc open it."

    "Hey Miiiiiinsc. I believe there is stinkin' eeeevil inside that cupboard. You know what to do, right?"
  • DelvarianDelvarian Member Posts: 1,232
    Edwin will look in the small wooden box.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Alora gets the cupboard open. Inside is an oilskin coat hanging on a hook. Nothing else.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    I'll check the pockets of the oilskin coat and check the back and bottom panels of the cupboard for secret doors.
  • DelvarianDelvarian Member Posts: 1,232
    ooc: missed the bit about those, Edwin will check the books as well.
  • Awong124Awong124 Member Posts: 2,642
    Again, with a mouthful of sandwich.

    "That coat probably has poison spores on it. Let Minsc examine it."

    "Hey Miiiinsc. That coat positively reeks of evil, perhaps you should do something about that."

    The wooden box contains three flasks of oil, a tinderbox with flint and steel, 8 new candles and a piece of parchment with some curious marks on it.

    These are: "(Roman numeral 1) - X X X. Next line: Roman Numeral 2 X - X - 2. Next Line: Roman Numeral 3 - - -"
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Nothing else in the cupboard or on the coat. The three books are (private message to Delvarian)."

    Edwinm I've solved what this is. Someone has been playing noughts and crosses. But they haven't used any noughts.

    "What have you got there Edwin? Is it porn?"
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    I'm taking the bullseye lantern if no one else wants it.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Okay.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    I've founf a hidden compartment! It's under the table.
  • DelvarianDelvarian Member Posts: 1,232
    Edwin hands the book of illustrated erotic poetry to Kivan.

    "Enjoy."

    Folding the sheet of paper he slips from the one book (a book on mesmerization) he then puts it into a pouch. He then tosses the other books aside.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    I'll open the secret compartment.
  • Awong124Awong124 Member Posts: 2,642
    "Ooooh, there was porn!"

    *Kivan flips through the pages, giggling all the while, then carefully tucks it away for later.*

    Alora fiddles carefully, then discovers a knothole, that, when pressed, causes the door to slide open. Inside is a book, a wizard's book of spells.
  • DelvarianDelvarian Member Posts: 1,232
    Edwin snatches the book.

    "Very well done Alora. I am beginning to have a tolerance toward you."
  • DelvarianDelvarian Member Posts: 1,232
    Edwin begins to look through the book.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Will you teach me some spells Edwin? I think I'd be good at magic. Is it easy to do?
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    The book has six spells: Color Spray, Detect Illusion, Hypnotism, Wall of Fog. Invisibility and Magic Mouth.
