After you've put the cloak on, you take note of a small breeze biting at your ankle. the crypt was cold before, but the minor amount of warmth brought by the cloak seem to amplify the breeze. Glancing over, you notice a section of wall that seems to not quite be touching the ground.

Without the danger of the zombies, the young detective started to search around for anything. As he does he continues to recite the rings description.

Red Eyes

Red Eyes points to where the breeze is coming from.

"I must be part elf or something, because I sense a secret door over yonder... I really hope I'm not part elf though."

[Athaleon]

Nirallus

"And I thank my lucky stars every morning that I'm not part goblin."

Nirallus

"And I thank my lucky stars every morning that I'm not part goblin."

Red Eyes

"You couldn't handle being a Goblin."

With that, she starts poking around the mysterious wall.

[Athaleon]

Nirallus

"I would surely go mad."

You also take note of the secret door, noticing not only the fact that it's slightly off the ground, but also the lines in the brick outlining the door, as well as one of the bricks being slightly pressed in compared to the rest.

You both figure out that the magic on the robe is necromancy of some sort.

Kaim

Kaim turns and looks at the pile of dead bodies for a moment, thinking. He then turns to the others and starts to speak. "If the goblins had come in here, the ones that i am pursuing, they would surely have never survived these zombies. But since there aren't corpses anywhere, it seems like they may never have come. If you don't mind, i'd like to continue to travel with you, you look like you need the help against this crypts inhabitants." He smiled, half-heartedly, like he hadn't smiled in a very long time.

Isaac Hawking

Isaac watched the goblin's progress with interest until he was interrupted by Kaim. He turned and smiled "I can't speak for the others, but as far as I'm concerned, welcome aboard. Hopefully that'll be all the undead we run into though."
He returned his attention to Red Eyes "anything interesting over there?"

[shugyosha]

Herlan

It was disappointing that there wasn't the ring but the secret door looked interesting. Herlan began to help RedEyes open the door.

[TheGuitar]

Both Red Eyes and Herlan walk over to the north wall of the room and begin fiddling around. After about a minute of this, Herlan finds the indented brick and pushes it, causing the wall to slowly lift, making the room echo with scraping sounds along the way. The door stops and reveals a long hallway, or at least it seems long, as you can only see about 15 feet down it, and it doesn't seem to end.

[shugyosha]

Herlan

Once the door is open Herlan moves his lighted bow through the passage. His eyes are on the ground looking for tracks or anything that might show that someone has been through there recently.

Despite your keen eyes, no one seems to have passed through this entrance in quite some time.

[Chained Birds]

Red Eyes

"Hey Herlan and co, want me to move solo through this passage seeing as I'm both the stealthiest person and the only girl that can see in the dark (I think)? I don't really think the ring might be down here, but would never hurt to check anyways. I'd report back in a few minutes with my findings."

[shugyosha]

Herlan

"The ring didn't go that way and some of us are hurt. If you go I'm not sure how much back up you'll get. Maybe Nirallus should go with you."

[meemaas]

Kaim

"I think its a good idea, but only so long as you don't take any risks. I don't think you could stand up in a fight alone against anything that might be down there."

[Chained Birds]

Red Eyes

"Fine, but stay at least 30ft from me at all times. And only use a light source if stuff becomes dangerous. I'll give you a sign to turn on the light."

Red Eyes begins her journey down the dark passage.

Nirallus groaned inwardly. After a day's march, the exertion of battle and spell casting, and having their stamina drained by vengeful wraiths, pressing on into the unknown dark was far from his list of priorities. But damned if he'd let his objective slip through his fingers, not least of all to that insufferably cheeky goblin. Sighing, he waits for the goblin to get the distance she asked for, then follows along into the depths.

The hall zigs and zags, but you are unable to see anything of use save walls, the floor and the ceiling. As you're walking, you turn a corner and see a dead end.

Were there some light, you might be able to see something, but Red Eyes never calls for it, so you follow by listening.

looking around, you notice the same inconsistencies in the wall as you had before, and this time, notice the loose brick, presumably the one that will open the wall.

Red Eyes

The young goblin hesitantly imitates Herlan in using the lose brick to potentially open the wall.

The wall opens just like the first. You find yourself looking into a large room, that would be completely dark if it weren't for your vision. In the room, a shadowy figure floats, seemingly waiting for you. It's eye's glow with an evil fire.

You hear Red Eyes stop, and all of a sudden, you hear the sound of brick scraping against brick. You move forward around a corner to see if you can see anything, but everything is still pitch black, save two dim lights that seem to be floating about 70-100ft away.

Red Eyes

Red Eyes glares back and slowly starts walking back. She also grips her mage hand item and uses to tap Nirallus on the shoulder.

Nirallus

"It is what I think it is, isn't it? Let's get back to the others."

The shadow creature begins moving towards you as you move back to the party.

Red Eyes

The goblin will slowly reach for her caltrops, and drop them on the ground as she moves back.

- To avoid being noticed dropping the Caltrops.

Edit: Well, at least it is above 10.

[TheGuitar]

If the creature saw Red Eyes drop the caltrops, it doesn't seem to react. It continues to move forward unabated.

I assume you guys are slowly moving towards the others. I'm gonna ask Athaleon to roll a perception check, being as he can't see. I'll allow the Mage hand to help guide him, giving a +2 to the check
