[INWranger]

There is a plate on a pedestal with conjuration magic on it. There is also a bucket on a stone with transportation magic on it. The entrance is also magic, as is the quill on the desk, though you can't quite identify the magic on it.

[madtinker]

Take a closer look at the desk. What is the book about? Are there any drawers? search - (1d20)[6]

[INWranger]

From what you can tell the book is a journal. After the first few pages and a mention of an upcoming job it turns into a jumbled mess. You recognize the writing, but none of it makes any sense. There are two drawers on each side and a center drawer. None of them are locked.

[madtinker]

Get out a burlap bag. Open the drawers one by one.

[INWranger]

You find three other books, one of them in elvish, one in common, the last abyssal. The one in common is on gardening and the abyssal is on extracting secrets. There is also a mug, calipers, and a sliding ruler inside of another ruler with dwarf markings on it.

[madtinker]

Can I read the dwarf markings? Deposit my findings from the drawers in the bag. Is that from two drawers, or all three?

Place the quill from the top of the desk in my pack with my writing materials. Is there anything unusual about the skeleton's dagger or armor?

[INWranger]

Yes, the dwarvish markings are numbers. The daggers blade is made of dragon bone. Both it and the armor are masterwork, but having been down here for what could be centuries their resale value is greatly diminished.

[madtinker]

Inspect the books on the walls. What kinds of subjects and titles are there? Are any of them magical?

[INWranger]

You can't read all the titles. Some are on geography and politics, while others are on artifacts and still others on the behavior of monsters in different environments. There is an entire section on fighting techniques, monsters, dungeons, and traps all written in a similar hand to the journal. You also find the remains of a cot. None of the books are magic and one in the section of the same hand writing uses a similar system of symbols.

[madtinker]

Inspect the plate and bucket more closely. Can I find any runes that might give away the purpose of the enchantments?

[INWranger]

The nearest you can tell the plate made food and drink and the bucket took things somewhere else, dumped them and returned.

[madtinker]

Addressing the plate, command "Table set."

[INWranger]

Nothing happens.

[madtinker]

Well, I have the contents of the desk. Put the plate in my pack; I'll experiment more later. Tie the bag of desk contents onto my pack and start back to the entrance.

[INWranger]

As you are putting the plate in your pack you see the words "yummies please" on its bottom. As you leave the room the door closes behind you. Which entrance do you go back to?

spot (1d20+5)[18]

[madtinker]

I'll go back to where I killed the ogres so I don't have to prepare another water breathing spell.

[INWranger]

As you go back the elven woman is there, but her form keeps distorting. This is some good stuff you brought. Is there any more? Maybe I could brave the open space for more. She follows you to the entrance. Make a spot and listen check.
15 spot, 10 listen

You hear more ogres outside. They seem be coming back from an excursion.

[madtinker]

I'm glad you like it.

spot - (1d20+3)[18], listen - (1d20+3)[7]

I spot them before I see them. How many more are there?

[INWranger]

There are seven or eight with more coming. The discover the chief and other ogres dead and start talking loudly.
They say that a rival tribe has done this and the rival tribe will pay. One or two are for getting more information. The rest are ready for war.

[madtinker]

Draw my sword, activate it, cast shield of faith and bull's strength on myself.

Activate my cloak.

Attack the ogres, screaming, "For the fallen!"

I won't complain about that.

Keep attacking, felling one before concentrating on the next. I'll make a bunch of attack rolls because my tactics won't change unless something else changes first.
