Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil (IC): Thread 2

[Shhalahr Windrider]

Moathouse: Planting 8, Late Evening

The militia chooses to follow Tell, Grigor, and Megiddo's lead, wary of possible traps.

Despite the slight sensation of dread suffusing the crypt, it does not appear to contain any magical aura.

When the party reaches the southern room, they find a large pit in the floor (( not the pool of water shown on the map )). Suspended by an intricate rope-and-pulley system over the pit is a round wooden platform, approximately ten feet in diameter. Scattered about the floor are a number of picks and shovels. In the southwest corner is a stone block, about half the height of a human man that appears to have some sort of relief carving on it. A stone disc about as wide as the pit is propped against the north wall. The entire room is surprisingly cold and has a damp stench to it. Megiddo detects no magical auras.

(( Do you want to look in the pit with the detection spells or just stick with the current plan? ))
