Feldard eyed the gems a moment, wondering if it were worth the risk. “Nicolai, anything heard beyond the door?” he asked, referring to the lone exit in the room, a set of double doors. ”If not, any chance of you disabling the trap we both know is present?” There may not be a decapitated body [...]

Vault Inspection
Nicolai waved the dwarf to silence and listened for a few seconds. Hearing nothing he turned to the dwarf. “Its a wonder you lot haven’t designed armour that doesn’t make so much noise.” He winked, just to ensure he would take it the wrong way. He flashed his light around the new vault once more. [...]

The Eastern Vault
“Aha. A secret door.” With the others still in the midst of meditations, spell studying or just plain sleeping, the dwarf joined the rogue in his assessment of the secret door, trying to find its release and listening carefully to hear what lay beyond.

Miklos cried out in shock and pain his hand clutching at the deep wound as blood bubbled through his fingers. He backed off a couple of steps dazed wondering for a moment what had hit him. He felt dizzy as blood drained from his head until the adrenalin galvanized him into an automatic flight.
The dwarf, [...]

The Strength of Bone
“Aha! I think you may have stumbled across something Maruc.” said Nicolai with uncharacteristic zeal as he shone the lightstone into the recesses of the coffin. “Lets see what we have found.”
The priest lent his weight into lifting of the rest of the lid and gazed into the coffin. “Hasan, Saeth come here. We need [...]

Isn’t This a Bit Macabre?
Nicolai peered into the gloom of the coffin and grunted. “All bottle and no spirit,” he quoted from the old Spectularum proverb. “I don’t think she’ll cause us much of a problem. If they’re all like this, I think we can leave this place,” offered the young rogue. Although he did pause to cast a [...]
