The Two Doors (plus one)

The 4 adventurers now stood in front of the tower door. Since Ropin had fallen into the pit trap just in front of the door, they were all a bit nervous about other traps. However, after searching a bit more, they determined that there were none left (at least by the door).

Relord and Kasas started to go to the door and opened it slowly. It opened inward and everything around was pitch dark. It was hard to see, so Ropin and Relord lit some torches and Kasas, with his better vision in the dark went to look inside. Everyone was ready for something to come out at them, but when nothing did, they started to go inside.

As their eyes got used to the dark (with torches), they saw 3 dead goblins on the ground and 1 dead goblin with a spear through his stomach still stuck to the wall. They also saw 2 doors leading out; one was an ornate door that had scuplted dragons on it (to the left) and one was more ordinary and plan, but looked solid (to the right).

They were disappointed that the goblins did not have any money on them or good weapons and guessed that the other 4 people they were sent to find probably took it. So at least the people did come this way.

Kasas was VERY interested in the dragon door and saw that it had a small opening that went into a dragon's mouth. He thought that this was the way to open the door and put his hand inside to feel around. However, that did not work and he pulled his hand back out. He spent more time looking at the door, trying to think of ways to get in with out the key.

Meahwhile, Ropin and Relord were looking around at the walls and floor, as well as looking up. They saw the remains of a broken staircase that went up to higher levels, but the floors of those higher levels were broken and so they could not see the ceiling of the tower entrance.

As Ropin was looking around, he also noticed that part of the wall was strange and he felt around it. It started to move and he pressed harder and it opened! They had found a secret door.

They peered in and the first thing they smelled was a strong deep scent. They then saw 3 skeletons lying on the floor with ragged bows right next to them. Ropin and Relord looked at each other and were about to go in, when the skeletons eyes started to shine with a bright red light. Worse still, they started to move and get up towards the door.

Relord quickly stepped back and brought out his god's necklace and started to chant the words he used to call St. Cuthburt's blessing. It worked, and the skeletons turned away to go towards the inner wall, but not before one of them slashed at Ropin's face.


After they took care of the skeletons, they decided to leave the Dragon Door for now and went to the other plain door.
