Mushgnome's Hobbet-centric PBP

Willie sees a single, bloody handprint on the wall. Looking closer, he notices a door-shaped section of the wall that is smoother than the surrounding stone. He does not see a doorknob, keyhole, any writing, or other distinguishing features. When Willie throws a pebble, it bounces back normally, indicating the wall is solid.acodispo wrote:Willie holds up his lantern to examine the wall where the footprints end.
"Well, that's odd... but definitely interesting!"
He studies the wall for moment, looking for odd cracks, marks on the wall, difference in visible texture from the nearby walls.
If nothing presents itself to visual scrutiny, he picks up a pebble or something & tosses it gently at the wall just above where the footprints disappear.
As Dougal picks his way north, he feels the ground becoming moist and squishy underfoot. He feels an occasional drip of cold water coming off the stalactites above. The puffballs look a little different at the northern end of the cave; their skin is cracked and leathery, and they don't look so appetizing.ehiker133 wrote:Dougal makes his way over to the chasm and tries to peer down into the depths. Obviously, he can't see terribly far with the lantern light available, so he tries listening as well.
He picks up a pebble, thinking about tossing it down into the chasm. But he holds his hand. Whispering, "Fool of a Took," he smiles and drops the rock on the ground at his feet and returns to the party.
