The Wayfarer's Inn

Gaderon's spell clearly locates the crypt with the sarcophagus, even though he has no idea how far away it is. Kherim notices that both buttons on the pillars are gone.

OOC: I have assumed that Gaderon still stands next to the open compartment when drawing the arrow. Please disregard all map features except the pillars- I was too lazy to redraw everything...

As Gaderon finishes his rotation, he discovers that his magic may have confirmed his belief. He takes his dagger scratches a large X to mark his position then walks to the wall and scratches another to mark the direction.

"Clever but not quite enough... Everyone, I believe we have moved... The original Sarcophagus is not present here but in that direction an unknown distance from us by what my magic tells me... I have little for this situation today that could handle more than ten feet of this wall safely since I know not the distance, but I will be able to do up to fifty feet or more, if I devote myself tomorrow to the task... Until then perhaps there is another who has further ideas of how to proceed... I will be examining the rings for further clues but, I am wary of actually wearing them as I may be of help in escaping here... In the meantime please be mindful of the marks on the floor and wall..."

Gaderon then goes to sit infront of the rings and begins to think of further things to aid in the escape from this false room...

Kherim nods silently, and adds tersely "Then we have to look for doors". He proceeds to inspect the wall pointed to by Gaderon.

OOC: the right one on the map.

Searching for secret doors in a hall as large as this is a very tedious and time-consuming affair if you want to search everywhere. Luckily, the wall part that Kherim is examining more closely isn't that large (but keep in mind the immense height of the hall here!).

After searching for about ten minutes, Kherim still hasn't found anything. Eilkhan is about one-third through with her search for traps and has so far found nothing.

Kherim turns to Ahi and Gaderon and says: "I don't suppose you have yet another True Seeing that could help us now?"

OOC: Sorry all, RL has delivered a little kick in the arse and I did something to screw up my notifications. My apologies.

IC: "Let me activate my Talisman for the last time today," Ahi says (I believe I still have a charge, "and I shall check the entire room as carefully as I can." Which he does.

Ahi's talisman reveals nothing. All that can be seen here is in plain view.

Kherim's eyes go wide in surprise and disappointment.
"Bad news!"
He looks around at his companions. "We could perhaps sound the walls and look for some weak spot where we can break the wall down. Barred that, only magic can get us out of here, I fear"

Sol nods "That is what I feared. The rings and bracelets are the key then. Does anyone have any idea how they work? Or perhaps one of Rahotep's artifacts can be used to help us..."

Eilkhan stops in midverification and says to the others "Maybe someone should in actuality identify the rings. That would be our best bet." SHe goes back to her checking.

OOC: Ok Eilkhan hasn't been paying too much attention while she verifies for traps.
So her comment is based on the fact she has no idea what anyone else has done thus far
