whispering to Nainnodel, A short distance away is a door to your left
Moira: (I'll take this as a sign..)
whispering to Nainnodel, the tunnel also continues
Nainnodel (whispering): [1d20+5] -> [7,5] = (12) listening at door
whispering to Nainnodel, You hear a strange humming from within
Nainnodel (whispering): humming like singing or like a machine?
** Melian took her rapier with her, don't forget **
whispering to Nainnodel, almost like a buzzing sound - you can't quite say you've heard something like this before
DMMatt: ok Mel
Nainnodel: (heh)
whispering to Moira, You wait for Mel or go by yourself
Nainnodel (whispering): are they with me?
DMMatt: yourself
whispering to Nainnodel, nope
Moira (whispering): I'll go by myself
Nainnodel (whispering): k going to back track to center
whispering to Moira, excellent...there are 3 passages...Left Straight or right
DMMatt: As you are deciding on which way to go...
Nainnodel (whispering): listen [1d20+5] -> [10,5] = (15) at opening
Moira: Hmm...
DMMatt: Nain appears from the Right most passage
Moira: Hey, what did you find?
Nainnodel: nothin yet
** Nainnodel heads down center tunnel **
DMMatt: Moira goes too?
** Moira follows **
DMMatt: Mel?
** Melian follows as well **
Moira: How many ogres did you remember seeing Nain?
Nainnodel: seeing 2 but he mention about 5 by name, we might have bigger problems though
Moira: Such as what?
Nainnodel: something making buzzing noises in the right tunnel
DMMatt: Scattered mining equipment serves to note the previous owners left in a hurry, when you enter this room straight ahead from the central cavern
Nainnodel: still no Jost yet?
Moira: buzzing noises?
Nainnodel: not plural
Nainnodel: just one, kinda like a zzzzz
Moira: Any ideas on what it could be?
Nainnodel: none
whispering to Nainnodel, right, right :)
Nainnodel: so center route has ended?
Moira: hmm
whispering to Nainnodel, it has - just a room
Melian: let's continue down the cave
** Nainnodel back tracks to opening **
** Moira follows **
DMMatt: Choosing to go down the Right most passage
DMMatt: You quickly come upon a door to your left the tunnel continues past this
Nainnodel: yeap
Nainnodel: but past buzzing door
** Nainnodel points out the door and says buzzing came from in there **
Moira: You didn't open it?
Nainnodel: do i look stupid?
** Moira stays silent **
** Fram the Gnome freaks out but continues to map quickly catching up again once finished with the other rooms **
Nainnodel: an ogre just bashed my head in and I’m going to open random noisey doors
Moira: What about the left tunnel?
Nainnodel: same as center just mining gear
Moira: Hmm... Where did all the other ogres go?
Nainnodel: either behind the door or past it
Moira: Well then now what? Scary Lady wants the cavern cleared...
Nainnodel: well we can either keep going or make camp at the entrance
Nainnodel: and go again tomorrow
Moira: Very well, we could all use a bit of rest
Nainnodel: prob best to keep going while the ogres are still flustered
DMMatt: The room beyond the door buzzes and hums at a steady rate
Nainnodel: Mel break the tie heh
Nainnodel: hmmm
Moira: Then you open the door....
Nainnodel: prob not a creature then
Melian: i agree with Nain, what do you think will happen if the ogre's had a day to organize?
** Nainnodel opens door **
Moira: I suppose you're right...
** Melian casts mage armour on herself just to make sure **
** Moira stands aside **
** Moira readies Katana... **
DMMatt: Opening the door a blast of extreme cold assaults you
** Melian ac 17 **
Moira: What the?!
DMMatt: In the centre of this 60' Diameter cavern is a glowing white stone from which the cold seems to originate
Nainnodel: spot [1d20+5] -> [19,5] = (24) looks over room
** Moira looks in **
Moira: Have you seen anything like this before?
DMMatt: You see spread about the room scattered corpses of animals; monsters like Lugroki with their tusked mouths and humans SO well preserve4d you can see the terror in their eyes
Melian: what is this...

DMMatt: Moira make me a REFLEX roll
Moira: [1d20+6] -> [6,6] = (12)
DMMatt: You catch the heavy door in time before it closes on Nain
Moira: Whoa...
Melian: nain, get out of there!
Moira: What kind of sorcery is this?
** Nainnodel tries to jam the door [1d20+6] -> [8,6] = (14) **
whispering to Moira, You are getting tired quickly as the Cold seems to be sapping your strength - and can't hold the door open much longer
whispering to Nainnodel, You can't seem to jam it open
Moira: Ahh get out of there! I can't hold it much longer...
** Nainnodel scampers into cavern **
DMMatt: Fram gets the willies and takes rear point
** Moira lets the door go once Nain is out **
DMMatt: Just as you do so , closing the door, a wisp of icy white light flashes in the room
Moira: eh?
DMMatt: The humming is all you can hear once more
DMMatt: The door is now closed
Moira: Well the ogres aren't there
Fram the Gnome: Uhhm, M-Miss
** Fram the Gnome tugs at Nain **

Fram the Gnome: How big was that room exactly?
Moira: (??)
** Nainnodel shrugs **
Fram the Gnome: Hmmm, could you open that door again please - I won't be but a m-moment
Moira: No Fram, don't take the chance
** Fram the Gnome looks at Moira **
** Nainnodel wonders why he is so brave all of a sudden **
Fram the Gnome: I must have a complete map you understand
Fram the Gnome: It is m-my duty and I take it very s-seriously
Moira: It's about 60' in diameter okay?
** Fram the Gnome sighs and nods **
** Fram the Gnome makes an adjustment to his map **
Moira: let's continue down the tunnel...
Nainnodel: wasn’t that the size of the tunnel we are in now?
** Fram the Gnome follows closely...looking back every once in awhile **
** Nainnodel continues down the tunnel **
Fram the Gnome: Fram looks up and around...this one is about 20 round
DMMatt: Continuing on the passage soon turns South
Melian: call it 30 round or so
** Fram the Gnome smiles **
DMMatt: an opening in the East wall alerts you to another room of some kind
DMMatt: The tunnel continues to the South
Nainnodel: listen [1d20+5] -> [10,5] = (15)
whispering to Nainnodel, Nothing
whispering to Nainnodel, complete silence
Nainnodel: lets check out this room
** Nainnodel peeks into the room **
DMMatt: Looking into the room...you note a large grouping of Moss similar to the stuff Iois had his bedroll made out of
DMMatt: Across this empty room...you note a humongous boulder almost set into a wall of the cavern room
Nainnodel: like its blocking an old cave entrance?
DMMatt: Looks to be so
** Nainnodel tells Fram to make note of that **
Moira: Hmm... Perhaps the young Ogres got away?
Nainnodel: lets keep going down the main part of the cave
Nainnodel: maybe
Melian: or there is something behind that boulder that shouldn't come out...
Moira: Hmmm yes...
Nainnodel: that was more my thinking
Nainnodel: the old miners split in a hurry
Nainnodel: all kinds of evidence that leaving was a good idea
Nainnodel: plus we cant move a boulder
Nainnodel: so back to the main part
** Nainnodel leaves the room **
DMMatt: Moving cautiously down the Southern turn of the corridor

DMMatt: You come across two adjoing passages...one to the east and one to the west
** Nainnodel keeps going down the tunnel **
Moira: Well Nain, after you
** Nainnodel continues down tunnel **

DMMatt: keep going then?
Nainnodel: yeap
DMMatt: ok, as you pass the chamber on your left
DMMatt: a gross smell of rotting pelts and ale assaults the senses
Nainnodel: another chamber?
Moira: Should we not explore this one as well?
Nainnodel: [1d20+5] -> [2,5] = (7) listen
Nainnodel: lets
whispering to Nainnodel, you hear nothing
** Nainnodel checks out room **
DMMatt: put yourself on a door please - kewl
DMMatt: Nain too? or other room?
Nainnodel: would have but i didn’t know which room heh
DMMatt: (heh)
DMMatt: As you enter this dimly lit cavern
DMMatt: you immediately see two passages splitting off from the main room
Nainnodel: north or south?
Moira: By Reann...
DMMatt: A clutter of junk nightmares are spawned from litters the entirety of the floor
DMMatt: Rags and scraps and unusable crates are seen everywhere
Moira: Let's try one then...
** Moira opens the door to the North Hall **
Nainnodel: [1d20+6] -> [1,6] = (7) search the stuff for anything useful
Nainnodel: [1d100] -> [32] = (32)
** Nainnodel falls a over pile of junk and dies **
