To refresh everyone's memory: The fireplaces in our grand ballroom and dining hall conceal secret doors with down staircases. These stairways are narrow; an armored Man cannot squeeze through (but our Elf/Dwarf/Hobbit team had no problem moving single file, and a Goblin would probably feel right at home). Below is a cluttered basement that starts out as a narrow space cluttered with crates. The far end widens into a rough and unfinished dirt cellar, and there's a shaft with a rotting ladder leading down. Dorgan flushed out a giant centipede and we retreated rather than fight; Desmond saw many holes indicating there could be a whole nest of the crawlies.

We'll need to clear out the nest, perhaps with fire, and secure the cellar so we have a staging area for the fighters to don their armor. Then we'll need to fix the ladder to safely descend to the lower level (and perhaps the dwarf can build a pulley/rope contraption to haul up all the treasure). It will be important to use both stairways and avoid traffic jams and fighting in tight quarters.

I have thought a few times that Dieter leans toward Lawful alignment (rather than his stated Neutral). This would strongly support that case...

However, I can see how you'd see it that way.

(Maybe I'm interpreting Neutral wrong?)

We'll find that vault, one way or another. Unless we get murdered by spiders. [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]
