Marev glances nervously at the crowbar wedged into the pit mechanism, hearing the stone and metal groan under the pressure
"That bar won't hold forever"Marev says, stowing the salvaged torches into his pack. "Borgo's already got the rope anchored. Let's get across the gap while we have the chance"
He steps up to the edge, eyeing the far side of the floor, ready to use the rope setup to traverse the pit.

OOC:

Just going to edit and expand upon this point from above. My initial answer wasn't very good:

- does the ovoid shape with a red gem a symbol of something Borgo would know? You ask the question of the others and initially nothing jumps out a you. You all have seen the egg used as a symbol of birth or re-birth, fertility, growth, etc. You could spend some time wracking your brains and consulting with the others to see if you can put something together.

OOC:
Sorry, I'd thought I'd already posted. Busy days, my apologies.
Borgo wracked his diminutive goblin head, trying to figure out if the collar was the symbol of something he might have known. Try as he might, the strange artefact brought no clear memories toi his mind.

"Let's get across and see if there is something on the far wall," the goblin agreed. He set his mind once again on the task of traversing the now opened obstacle.

OOC:
I'm not going to make you roll to get across.
It takes you a few minutes, but using your rope you manage to get everyone across to the other side with only one of you landing short, but with the crowbar still jamming the floor it keeps the floor from falling in.

With everyone across, you begin stowing your rope and find your selves at a dead end. The hall ends approximately 20' from the end of the pit with the solid uniform stonework staring back at you.

...you can't help but wonder what would it be like to have that creature come up behind you now?

Torch held by Elspaeth: 30mins
OOC:
Okay, you four stand on the other side of the pit looking down toward the end of the hall a short distance away. What are you doing?

Regarding inventory:
Marev: not you two additional torches down in your inventory
Are you keeping your two treasures? If so, who's holding them and can they update their inventory?

FYI, you guys have succeeded on every random encounter check I've rolled so far.

Now that Borgo is safely out, Berith picks up her backpack and puts it back on. "Well done," she says, speaking to both Borgo and Marev. She stands by Borgo looking at the items he was able to recover. Wrinkling her nose at the rank incense, she rubs it to try and get the smell out.

Berith watches as Borgo scrutinizes the artifact and then looks at it closely with Borgo to see if she might recognize anything about it. Nothing seems familiar so she agrees that they must hurry to get across.
OOC:
I had the page open for a bit and forgot to refresh so I didn't see your post Dhakan until after I posted.

OOC:
I don't have any empty spots at the moment so hopefully someone can carry the goodies. I can always light a torch as well if we need to free up 1 space.

Hopefully our luck holds on the encounter checks
Berith starts slowly moving down the dead end looking carefully at the ceiling, walls, and floors for anything that looks out of place. "Do you think this is truly a dead end to trick unlucky adventurers over the trap or do you think there's something here?" she muses out loud to the group.

Before crossing Marev quickly glances at the stone out of curiosity
OOC:
Might as well take a quick roll
OOC:
Since I dropped stuff a while back i can carry something if you guy want me to

As Berith moves forwards there is a large mosaic covering most of the wall which seems to represent some kind of acension, perhaps in ranks of Godly labours? Or just depicting social levels. With Dwarven figures of labourers on the bottom, then farmers, then merchants, arcanists, blacksmiths, and clergy at the top. Each level is seperated by narrow bar of stonework. The mosaic itself is constructed of small peices stone of many varieties and colour, but all shades of browns, black, whites and greys. As she begins her investigations, she finds two oddities at that end.

To the left she finds another fine seam in the wall to the left. Even though she sees no handle, she doesn't have to follow the seam for long before she's sure there is a door there.

As she working along there something catches her eye in the mosiac at the end of the hall. A large Anvil of Ord. It wasn't noticable from the front, but now from the side you see that it is slight protruding from the rest of the picture.

Carrying on your inspection, you notice that in the ceiling above the protruding stone, is what must be some kind of sealed passageway up as there is a 5' square outline in the ceiling above the mosaic.
OOC:
So you guys see an secret door to the right about 5' from the end of the hall. Some kind of passage upwards in the ceilling above the mosaic, and the pokey outy anvil. It sticks out about 1/4 inch from the rest of the wall.

Elspaeth holds the torch steady and her crossbow currently pointing toward the ceiling. She contemplates the egg-shaped artifact..but isn't sure what it could mean.
