At the rear watch, Fried spies Kianna the Elf Sister/Fighter/Medium and Faengol the Elf medium approaching. Their added capabilities will not go amiss, and the presence of the two Elves will steady his nerves a tad...
Meanwhile, Dopey scrambles down from the ledge, with Leudigar's help, then insist upon giving the creakiest parts of his armored carapace an oiling while the tracker awaits his pleasure, and Zem creeps 20ft down the left-hand passage and peers around the corner to see another 20ft deep, 5ft wide passage that leads to a rusty iron door that is set into the wall about 6in above the ground. Squinting, and scratching his chin, he can see clear air above the 8ft wall that the portal is built into, but... Zem has a suspicion that the whole of the wall itself ain't proper; not dwarf proper at any rate...
At last, Dopey seems satisfied that his armor is lubricated enough, and allows Leudigar to boost him up onto the wall once more. Satisfied in this, the tracker strides to the dark end of the narrow passage, and gives the walls thereabouts a thorough pushing and prodding and a generally critical a eye. He spots nothing untoward in the half-dark.
Meanwhile, up top, Dopey edges along the top of the wall in the shadows, cursing every scrape and creak of his armor that must surely raise the attention of those beyond. He can hear them clearly now, whispering and muttering in the guttural goblin-speak with some urgency... there must be a few of them, he realises, as he nears the very lip of the wall that he might peer over...
"BHJJERRRKK!" goes up a harsh cry from the other side of the wall.
Dungeon Exploration Turn 6.
1st Move:
Kianna and Faengol almost catch up to Fried.
Dopey climbs down to oil his armor while Leudigar waits.
Zem investigates the left-hand passage, and the iron door.
2nd Move:
Kianna and Faengol join Fried.
Leudigar help Dopey up, then searches the right-hand passage; d6 → ?
Dopey climbs back up, then crawls along the top.
The ref dices for Dopey's attempted espionage: d6 → 4, had he removed his plate armor that would have been well, as it is in full plate armor it goes ill!
