Now the company moves around the far opening, it seems another dark chamber lies beyond the splintered door... and what is this? There comes from the dark the occasional glint or gleam from something that shines. The glamour of silver perhaps?

"Carefully," whispers Lmluin lest the prospect of loot prompt anyone into rushing ahead.

He continues to move forward carefully towards the silver gleam, arrow on bowstring, eyes and ears open for anything that might indicate danger.

"So sad... this fine Dwarfish door, now splintered." Sili motions his torch-bearer closer and takes up defensive position directly before the door.

Norin calls for light and approaches the splintered door to look beyond. He is still wary of more trolls, though, so has not let down his guard.

Peering through the door the company spies what must surely be the Trolls' ill gotten goodies all piled away in this back room.

The bodies of two unfortunate Orcs dangle from the ceiling... meat locker style. But beyond these grisly carcasses are a crowd of tin buckets, wooden pales, and wooden lockers brimming with stuff which the Trolls must have thought worth saving.

There are a few loose, grubby coins about, but the silver shine comes not from these, but rather from a great metal chalice that lies haphazardly among the other loot.

"Oooh," says Hepti the Dwarf, looking on...

Cautiously looking about the room as he steps into it, Norin approaches the chalice and peers at it closely for a moment. If it doesn't appear to be trapped, then he'll pick it up to examine it more closely...

"Careful, Norin ," cautions Sili. "Trolls and their ilk are cunning. Look out for a deadfall or other crude trap.

"Who among the party is expert with traps and snares?"

"I wouldn't say expert," Eremin says, stepping forward. "But I do have some familiarity."

He inspects the door and doorjamb visually. Does he see any evidence of a trap?
