You cautiously walked down the hallway towards the entrance, and make your way back to the room where the Drakes ambushed you. The blue glow continues to light the room until Adis casts some Light on the situation.

Nothing seems to have moved, and the corpse of the Gnome is smelling rather more foul than it did before. There aren't even any marks from scavengers eating at the corpse, which seems a bit odd. Seeing him does remind Graven of the small iron key he got from the corpse just before your hasty retreat.

Graven is now at 33/35 Health. Anyone else wanting to spend a healing surge might want to say so before heading into another encounter. =)

[S.K. Ren]

"Odd, why were the other corpses moved and this one left to rot?" Adis murmured to himself. Patrolling the perimeter of the room, Adis checked the alcoves for any signs of the Drakes they encountered.

Adis finds absolutely nothing new. Nothing has been touched since you last left the room.

As a reminder, since Adis has a poor memory, you found a bunch of bones and a heap of tattered rags and not much else in the alcoves. They looked like they would be used to hold bodies, but they are unoccupied.

Unless anyone has anything else to do in this room, I'll assume you wander back to the room you had your last encounter in as suggested, and that you'll take one of the doors from that room.

For reference, here's your current map:

Noting nothing new, Adis goes to inspect the debris pile. If there are eggs in there, it could mean trouble... or profit.

[Malek Deneith]

- "No activity here. We might as well go back and continue down the corridor where goblins were."

[S.K. Ren]

"Huh? Since we're here. Wouldn't it make sense to check this door first?" Adis asked, indicating the door on the right side of the room.

[Gargulec]

'Warf... Graven is right. I would believe that it is doubtful that any hostages are kept by drakes or little pesky gnomes, right?'

[Madtrixr]

"I'm for going back into the goblins room, and then going through that door, but that's just me." Norian said while looking around.

[Tavana]

Having come to a majority, your group wanders back down the stairs, out the door, across the room, through the door, take a right and up the hall to the room you were just in. The blood one the corpses appears to have dried slightly since you've left, but otherwise nothing has changed.

Decisions and doors stand before you, the choices being: North from which the Goblins with the crossbows emerged, or West and to the unknown?

[Gargulec]

Karan, seeing the indecisiveness of the party, dropped her sword on the ground, and taking yet another sip from her waterskin, reached for something among her things. It turned out to be simple set of pipes, looking like it was older than the tiefling herself.

'Forgive me, people...' she murmured with a smile, starting to play some simple, jolly melody- definitely not a masterpiece, but at least it could be listened to without pain 'but I have kill time somehow... while you decide.'

[S.K. Ren]

Adis sat with his back along the northern wall. "Graven, it was previously suggested that you be the one to open doors from now on so would you do the honors and take a peek?" he said after a moment of silence.

[Malek Deneith]

- "I only suggested that we don't open all doors at once and touch everything that stands out to see what it does wizard..." - if construct's face could show emotions, it would have shown iritation as he walked up to northern door and opened it.

[Tavana]

Beyond the door was a blackness the brazier in the room of dead goblins couldn't pierce. After a momentary pause for Adis to lighten the view, you're treated to a view of a bleak, long hallway. The walls are slightly smoothed, but the main feature is a jagged hole ten feet from the door. Someone did a little remodling it looks like.

After a moment, you notice something moving above the hole: two ropes dangle above it, connected to the ceiling. They seem newer than the rest of the hallway, and you feel certain that the goblins put these in place. Hopefully they knew what they were doing.

At the edge of Adis' light you notice the hallway has an opening to the left.

If you'd like to try to cross the pit, with or without the ropes, I'll need a d20 roll. Or Rah can use his super jumping powers.

I have updated the map with the extent of your current light radius.

[Gargulec]

'Well...'

Karan took a running start and jumped across the pit, landing heavily and gracelessly on the other side.

'...you live only once.'

Should be enough to jump the pit.

[Tavana]

Karan successfully clears the pit. Nothing reaches out of the darkness beyond the Light spell to attack her either, so it appears to be somewhat safe.
