"They didn't all die at the same time. It is just that they ran out of food."

[Archmage1]

Gale presses the spike up against the door.

"Ok then... Where did this come from, then?"

Gale casts detect magic, and uses the monocle to identify the door.

"Well when there are only 2 people left, both of which are hungry, you use what you can to get the upper hand."

Gale is unable to identify the door as a specific item.

"True enough, I suppose, but I am afraid I don't have all day to spend talking to you. Could you please open? Can you open?"

[Tharione]

Mournfully not finding a good raised, flat surface Noru decides to sit down in an open space on the ground, among the bodies, and unbinds the cloth from his left arm, leaving the heavily scarred and scabbed member exposed.

He then lies down, sighs, and stretches his left arm out wide.

"Exoskeleton, use that sword you've been given and remove my left arm, then return to usual follow and protect commands."

The mindless undead does as ordered, raising the blade over its head and bringing it down swiftly...

Norus scream echos throughout the entire cavern.

"I cannot open for you. But anyways, they were so much fun. The best part was watching them fight each other to not end up at meals. Nul never stood a chance against Jimmy in the end though. Maybe you guys could fight each other and entertain an old lonely door?"

The party hears a painful scream coming from the cavern.

[Archmage1]

Upon hearing the scream, Gale yells out
"What is going on out there? Are we under attack?"

After hearing the door's snide response, Gale decides that this is one door that is going down.

She attempts to dispel it, and then attempts to blast it down.

[Allyzedl]

Gale begins to attempt to dispel the door, and attacks it with force and acid attacks.

The door screams out it pain from the attacks, then mumbles something.

"Just kidding, I see how it is now, goodbye Gale."

The door is unaffected by Gale attempts to affect it, then keyhole on the door the forms back to it's original shape.

[Archmage1]

Gale drives the stake into the keyhole
"Garrin, do you want to have a go?"

[Allyzedl]

The stake catches on fire and burns to ashes.

[Lexin]

"I guess we are back to opening the door the hard way..."

Garrin slowly approaches the door and tries to slash it with his weapon.

If it works, repeat every second round, till opened.

[Allyzedl]

Garrin attacks the door, but it has no effect on the door.

[Lexin]

"Okay... this is usually enough to break anything... No more ideas here..."

Spoiler

Going back to normal maneuver list.

[Archmage1]

All right then, a password, or a key...

Spoiler

Show

"In the name of Halaster, I command you to open"

If that fails, Gale will shatter the walls around the door, and stick it in her bag of holding.

[Lexin]

"So... are we going back to others and try to kill some planars, or do you want to keep walking around? We could check the source of screaming too..."

[Archmage1]

In between her shatters, Gale replies
"Well, I figure we might as well bring the door along, as we might find the key at some point. If there was an attack, we would hear it, and if we were needed, there would be more yelling. There seems to be little point in heading out there now. And there is still that trap door to investigate..."

[Allyzedl]

Gale flies above the door, opens her bag of holding upside down, at which point everything inside it falls out of it and on to the ground. She then follows the door down with the bag of holding. About 1/4 of the way down the door, the bag ruptures and bursts into pieces.

Spoiler

Everything that was in the bag of holding is now on the ground, because I'm nice.

[Archmage1]

Gale looks at the pieces of her bag, and frowns.
"Well that is disappointing. I will open this door, eventually."
Gale heads over to the trapdoor, and blows it open

Spoiler

Show

Cast baleful utterance at the trapdoor. Luckily, there was nothing in the bag. Guess I need to get a type 4 bag of holding to do that...

[Allyzedl]

Gale shatters the trapdoor. Wooden shrapnel from the trapdoor fly everywhere, Gale feels a sharp pain on her face.

@Zaavariel & Garrin

Spoiler

You see that there is a piece of wood stuck in Gale's forehead, about the size of a toothpick.

[Archmage1]

Gale reaches up, and feels around the pain, quickly finding, and removing the piece of wood. She then climbs through the trapdoor.

[Allyzedl]

Gale finds herself in what looks like an old church of Pelor, there are broken symbols of Pelor around the room. There are holes in the room, which light penetrates through. There is an archway at the far end of the church, which is about the size of two large doors. It looks like it leads outside.

[Archmage1]

Looks like Pelor did not help them much. Still, might as well finish scouting.
Gale searches the temple, and then heads to the archway, and looks around.

It looks like this church is on the surface of Waterdeep, however it is difficult to determine where in Waterdeep.

Nothing of significance inside the church.

[Archmage1]

Pity. Nothing. Still, I should probably have investigated that scream initially, but, well, I was a bit distracted.

Gale heads back to Noru, and crouches down near him

"Noru, why did you cut your arm off? It seems rather foolish to me."

While Gale is waiting for a response, she identifies the items.

[Archmage1]

After identifying the items, Gale binds Noru's wound with the Blessed Bandage.

[Zman]

Zaavariel rests as the others move around him, he looks distaste fully at Noru and his new arm.

[mucco]

Bleerie opens her backpack. "Hey Gale, take a look at this stuff as well. We didn't have the chance to identify it earlier." she shows Gale the entire loot she is carrying. "We also need appraising for the jewelry and such. I know I'm a gnome, but I never learned anything about gems, sorry!"

[Archmage1]

Spoiler

Assuming everyone returned to the group, figured we might as well get the discussion of what to do with the items going IC

"Well, I recovered several items from the Formains, and I figure we should probably split them up now."

Gale identifies the items Bleerie hands to her.
Gale describes the properties of the items.(no, I am not doing it in both OOC and IC)

"I would like the Hellcat Gauntlets. I will also take the bandage, but that is more of a group item. Somehow, I suspect that most of these items will be sold."

[mucco]

"Well if nobody wants to do this, I will appraise those things. I have a really bad eye, however."

Bleerie picks up the valuable objects and tries to estimate their worth based on how shiny the gems are, or if she likes their colour.
