    The woman behind the desk keeps an eye on you, but not overly so.

    Nuxd Boneeater waits over by the door.

    After about two minutes browsing, I look over my coin purse, sigh mournfully, and head out the door. I gesture for Nuxd to follow as I head back the same direction I came, and then duck into an alley to go around behind the shop.

    Are the windows here about the same as they were on the other side of the shop?

    Nuxd Boneeater follows


    There are no windows on the back wall of the shop. Just a single closed wooden door, though the door does have a foot square closed shutter. The sides of the shop have the small circular glassless windows, though they are only about a foot around, each with a single shutter.

    I check to see if the back door is locked.

    If it is I quickly move to the nearest side window and try to ascertain if anyone's watching it from the other side.

    The backdoor is indeed locked.

    Form the first back small circular window you can see well enough inside of the shop. There are two customers, one talking to the woman behind the counter. No one is looking out the window.

    Nuxd Boneeater follows and watches.

    I meant that I'm checking to see whether anyone's looking towards the back door. Is anyone doing that?

    Although really I suppose it doesn't matter much, since either way my next move would be to go around behind the store again and take 10 to open the locked door. Does a 14 on Open Lock unlock it? (Note that if I do manage to click the lock open, my next move will be to slide the door completely closed again. I'm not going in, especially if the door's being watched. I'm just testing the lock.)

    Edit: Wait, on second thought, would I remember whether or not the back door was visible from the store?

    There is a couple people in the alley, but no one is watching the back door of the shop.

    From inside the shop you did see a closed back door, but it obviously leads to a back room. You can't see into the back room through the closed door.

    In that case I dart back into the alley and try to open the door. First I take 10 on an Open Lock check (total result is a 14) and then if that fails I take 20 (will result in a 24.) Is taking 10 (or failing that taking 20) enough to get through the door?

    The door remains locked......though a loud bell starts to ring inside the back of the shop.

    Thick black smoke starts to shoot out of the door and form a small 5 foot cloud around the door.

    Nuxd Boneeater "You set off a trap!"

    "Something tells me this isn't a good place to be seen at the moment."

    Is it possible to cast Invisibility on Nuxd and make a Hide check in the same round?

    Casting a spell is a standard action. Hiding is generally ''not an action''. So yes.

    Okay. Thanks.

    And since talking is a free action:

    "I'm going to cast Invisibility on you. It breaks if you interact with anything in any way. After I cast it, just run. Do nothing else until you're well clear, and ideally at the mouth of the tunnels. Don't worry about me. I'll catch up. I intend not to be seen, and can outrun a normal human even if I am seen. If I need to, I can use a magical item. So I need this out less than you do. Are we clear?"

    Oh, that's not good.

    I cast Invisibility on Nuxd, and then make a Hide check. (1d20+14)[30].

    Oh, and is there a skill check I could make to know what that trap is?

    The black cloud froms into a medium sized, gray furred wolf with glowing red eyes of some sort. The wolf stands right in front of the door and growls, looking around. The bell inside the shop continues to ring.

    The ringing bell is most likely an Alarm spell. It's a common and cheap spell and magic item.

    The other trap most likely was a summoning spell effect. Monster Summoning Two would get a fiendish wolf, much like the creature by the door.


    The wolf looks around, but does not react to anything. It stays in front of the door, alert and watching.

    So, I think now would be a good time to leave. Shall I make a Move Silently check?

    if you want to move quietly, the Move Silently is the right skill...

    With the instructions I gave Nuxd I thought he'd be well out of there. But then again I'm not sure those instructions were the right way to handle a wolf anyway.

    Anyway, (1d20+6)[21] for Move Silently.

    In that case, I'll have to trust that he has the sense to follow my orders and is gone.

    Is he visible?

    Either way, I say "Right. I think we've got all we're getting. We've learned enough to justify coming here. Shall we?"

    Nuxd Boneeater is visible. He nods. Nuxd walks past the goblins, giving a small wave, but not passing them a bag. Then leads you through the tunnels, and eventually back out to the river. Then along the path and back out to the main road. Then down the main road, all the way back to the estate.
