Top Bunk's Mine, You Get Bottom

Snarling with frustration at the failure to spark a flame, Lisabelle hurls the parchment to the floor of the room and glares at Morcant. Lockjaw's sudden aggressive posture is all that prevents her from lashing out at her new comrades. "Lockjaw," she says, "go kill."

She hurls the door open banging the door against the stone wall which likely alerted her newest threat to their whereabouts. Lockjaw knows this command give him free reign, and expectation, to tear asunder anything that lurks ahead. Lisabelle, concious of her own mortal coil, holds back a step or two. She slips with stealth through the shadowy passage into the Guard Bunkroom.

As she moves silently, Lisabelle readies a spell, calling on wisdom from deep in her soul. Entangle has been a trusted incantation since she mastered it so long ago. However, use of it's unique methods would be pointless. As she enters the empty bunkroom, the spell dies on the tip of her tongue.

"Lisabelle!" Piker shouts, but to no avail. "C'mon!" he shouts to the rest of the party. "We have to stop her!" He pursues her, cautiously and with stealth, through the southern door to the Guard Bunkroom, expecting the others will follow.

Morcant's mind stepped back toward reality. He often lost himself in his own imagination. One day he would have better control of his powerful, and as yet untapped, mental powers. In the last moment  he had seen a fire spawner where there wasn't one, and walked into the bunkroom without moving an inch!

Morcant focused harder on a stronger memory. He recalled a Ravenstine meal was being pulled from the hearth. Concentrating on the smell he did all he could to send the sensation to Gurin! Meanwhile, his body wanders into the Guard's Bunkroom behind Piker, mechanically pulling a candle from it's concealed storage place. Breeching the threshold of the room, the flame ignites somehow. But his focus was elsewhere, so Morcant missed the key element which set the ember aglow.

Miranda Chalix uses a great deal more caution than the party of louts ahead of her. She sneak through the open doorway which was once concealed behind a bookshelf, and inspects the floor tiles and western wall. Nothing appears to be concealed, or trapped - thank goodness!

Gurin became hungry wuickly, and set his mind to explore the kitchen for the stew which was cooking. "Does anyone else smell that? It smells like Ravenstine stew in here!" Arriving in the Guard Bunkroom, near the closed entrance leading to the Kitchen, he lost the scent. "This place is odd, I've never felt so... tampered with then I have in these vaults." The uneasiness prompted Gurin to ready his trusted axe. Along with thoughts of his beloved - he felt a bit more at ease in this ill-fated place.

Ptolmek feels safe in numbers, and agrees with Piker that they should explore the Armory and Chapel to the east before returning to the Inner Sanctum. He strides off to catch up with Piker. Along the way he notices the Dwarven Barbarian licking his chops in anticipation of a meal! 'Strange fellow,' he thinks, 'we're not camped nor have we prepared rations!'

Blackbird acquaints himself with Marlit and the two proceed toward the Guard Bunkroom with the others. Upon entering the room, Marlit leaves Blackbird to move closer to the hungry dwarf focused on the door to the West. "What if anything interest you about this door, good Dwarf?" Blackbird knows danger when he sees it and the angry gnome's badger is stalking something to the East.

Ptolmek Skarab remains taciturn despite his inward admiration of his talented comrades. He will move to the east door and await enemies. Who knows what could be lurking in what is marked on the map as the Chapel.

Miranda Chalix will rapidly Stealth over to the eastern door and Listen at it, then Inspect it for traps, including the area on the floor before it and the ceiling above the door.

He had done it! Morcant imagined fire into existence! He had dreamed of this moment for nearly ten years... but there was a miserable lightness to it. He did not consciously know what created the fire, it just happened. Perhaps that was the secret all along!? Keep your mind just off-focus and near the topic of fire?!? Perhaps his mind games with the Dwarf helped?!?

1) He blew out the candle
2) He concentrated on the sensation of a hot bath and did everything in his power to make Gurin feel like he were bathing in the middle of the vaults!
3) He attempts to PRODUCE FLAME on the candle.

Gurin was fascinated by the southwestern door of the bunkroom. It seemed normal but reminded Gurin of a trick door he had once designed. Sort of similar to the prismatic slider, which looked like a swinging door but was actually a sliding door. If you opened it in the standard fashion you would face a brick facade, but a standard panel was actually pressable and that would engage the sliding mechanism.

Gurin started to reach for what he thought was a possible method of sliding the door when suddenly the candle light faded. Then he felt quite naked. His arms instinctively shot downward to cover himself. While he enjoyed the sensation of bathing, he hated that it he had chosen to bath in such a public fashion! What was he thinking?!

Gurin stepped out of the (imaginary) bathtub and shook dry his mangy beard. Blackbird seemed astonished at his behavior, I suppose it's only right. What in heaven's is going on here...

After coming too Gurin felt surprisingly dirty still... this place is unsettling.

Gurin brought his attention back to the door and did what he could to use his skills on it.

1) Gurin bathes
2) Gurin dries off
3) Gurin uses his talents to work on cautiously opening the southwestern door.

Marlit ignores the odd dwarf as he begins bathing, and instead turns her attention toward the growing commotion by the Chapel door. She quickly leaves Gurin and Morcant to their own devices... as it were.

Her only hope was that they did not trigger some unexpected trap which spelled doom or disaster for the entire party this early in their quest. She'd only just arrived after all.

Blackbird gathers close behind his comrades and peers at the Chapel door. The badger was angrily scratching and huffing around the base of the entrance. Whatever was inside had gotten him worked up into a frenzy.

Blackbird readied his arrow into the nock of his bow and took a few casual steps back to ready himself for anything. Out of the corner of his eye he notes a now open portcullis to the South. If anything were to flank the party, or approach from the rear, it would be from that dark passage.
