As Ropin rounded the corner, he saw a very long hallway drift into darkness. He quietly stepped forward, which was not too hard since the floor was also splattered with moss and small grasses. As he got nearer to what looked like the middle of the hallway, he noticed 2 doors at the end. He beckoned the others to come - silently.
Ropin got to the first door and tried to see if it was trapped or locked. It was not trapped, but it was locked. He looked at the other door and noticed that it was neither trapped nor locked (or so he thought - since he is not really a rogue...). As they were getting ready to open the second door, Relord and Masiry got ready. Ropin pushed the door open and then Relord stepped inside and found himself in what looked like a mushroom garden. The smell was quite strong and he also noticed a small goblin doing what seemed like gardening in the corner. He explained this to the others as quietly as he could, but the goblin heard and turned around to see who had opened the door.
Basically, quick fight and dead goblin. But they also noticed that some of the mushrooms seemed to glow, and some of them had various kinds of powders on them and they seemed to move a little when they were near them. They would have to be careful since Relord mentioned that mushrooms could both heal and harm you if you were not carfeful....After looking around a bit, they noticed another small wooden door to where they guessed the other door in the hallwya led and a large wooden door that was actually 2 doors together leading somewhere else. Ropin was curious about the large door while Kasas was interested in the smaller one and both tried to open them.
Ropin was first and gently pushed open one of the doors. He was shocked at what he saw (and did not see). He saw what looked like a huge cave or cavern that was covered with grass and fungus as well as weird looking trees. He could not see farther, but knew that it extended even deeper into the darkness. He also unfortuately saw some other goblins, a hobgoblin and a few tree blights working in the garden area and gently closed the door again, so as to not make a sound.
Meanwhile, Kasas was not having luck with the other door. It was also locked and he could not seem to open it. Relord offered to try to break it open with his morning star (he picked up from the bugbear when they entered the hole) but it was agreed that breaking the door in the hallway would be quieter than breaking it here, especially since Ropin just explained the situation behind the door. In fact, did they really need to see what was behind the door? Shouldn't they prepare for the eventual fight with the monsters in the next room?But curiosity is a powerful thing and it was decided that the door had to be broken.
After 4 loud clanging blows to the door, it shattered and they were able to go inside. They saw a small room, which looked like a bed room, living room and study area all in one. They thought it might be Belak's room and that he is most likely very close now.
Kasas was very curious as to what was in the room and looked around. He immediately saw some more bookcases, an experimental table and a regular eating table in the middle, a small fountain, a clothing dresser and a small unkempt bed. He noticed that on the experimental table were two halves of an apple, but he could not determine if it was a red or white one since the skin was peeled off and there were other powders and liquids around and in it.As Kasas was looking in the room, Ropin was looking at the mushrooms, trying to figure out which were deadly and which were ok.
He did not have too much time, since suddenly the doors opened and in came the goblins and the hobgoblin! Oh no! They had heard the noise from breaking the door and now the fight was starting!
Would they be ready?
