Continued Adventure

The three remaining party members move closer to stand near Borgo with torch held high, illuminating the room fully. The deep shadows the cisterns cast are banished and the clear waters reveal their plain bottoms to any who bother to look.

The doorway is visible to all. It stands about 4.5 feet high and about 3 feet wide. The taller of you will need to duck to enter but otherwise nothing seems to bar your entry. With the door only just barely ajar you cannot see anything inside as of yet.

Marev, Elspaeth and Berith stand back as the goblin slowly pushes the door open. It move soundlessly to reveal a small 10' by 10' room with three medium sized wooden chests. Standing in the now open doorway, two chest are against the wall to Borgo's left and a single chest is agains the wall on the right. Each chest looks sturdy and well made but none appears to be locked that you can see.

The room is otherwise unadorn but for the ubitquitous blocky designs you have seen throughout this temple so far.

With the close proximity and full illumination of the flickering torchlight, you don't see anything that might lead you to believe there are any illusory floors or chests. Each seems solid, as does the floor. Your tentative steps confirm that much. Each chest casts proper shadows in response to the dancing flames.

Each chest is wooden, flat topped and utilitarian in appearance, though well crafted. They are approximately 4' in length and 2-3' deep and about 2' high. Each chest has a sturdy wooden handle built into each side for transport. Looking from the side, there are simple metal hinges at the back, bronze you guess. All the lids are all closed and having no handles or lips, you presume they open by simply grabbing the lid and lifting.

Borgo's footing remains sure and solid as he takes careful steps up to the first chest. He lightly places his hands on the lid. It is solid and real. Lifting the lid requires both hands, and inside he sees a well preserved suit of leather armor. Turning to the other two chests which he is sure are just as mundane, he finds other potentially userful gear.

Having found a small cache of sealed away equipment and found nothing else of interest after some searching, the team finds themselves back near the door in the Anvil Room, preparing to enter the main room for further exploration.
