The Wayfarer's Inn

Before moving on to the other slab, Sol goes around the first one carefully to make sure that he hasn't missed any of the mortar. Then he takes the warhammer and smacks the slab from one side a few times and then from the other side, to see if he can get it to move any at all, before he gives up and moves on to remove the mortar from the other slab...

A few tiny cracks appear as Sol smashes the magical hammer against the green slab. Being granite it's very hard of course, but the warrior thinks that he might be able to break it, although this certainly means hard labor.

Kherim does not have any tool suitable to smash the stone. He will remove the mortar from the other slab while Sol hits the first one.

Ahi helps Kherim as well.

Ok, Sol will smash the green slab by working on the spots where it has already cracked. Hard labor is good for the soul...

After pounding away on the slab for a few minutes, Sol realizes that this will take longer than he first thought. The hammer does its job, but the rock seems to be very hard indeed, and might be even be strengthened through the use of some kind of magic. Wouldn't there be a slow progress noticeable, you would have perhaps given up on it, but so the strong warriors in the group take their turns in swinging the hammer, and after about 2 turns of strenuous work, the slab finally completely shatters and falls to the ground in a heap of dark green fragments. Sweating, and breathing heavily you look at a wall of seemingly solid rock that was directly behind the slab. It is carved with a human face and hands, in intaglio. Kherim immediately notices a pulsing evil of decay streaming forth from it. No inscriptions or cartouches are visible.

When the new wall appears, Ahi looks at it studiously.

"There's evil there", says Kherim, matter-of-factly.
"I wager there's something more behind it. Perhaps this is a switch, a device of some kind, or hides a secret passage."

Eilkhan approaches and tries to see if this wall can be opned by a switch, lever or something in the wall.

Eilkhan finds nothing.

Kherim examines the ingraved marks looking for something inside. Are they large enough to hold anything? Or to put something in there ?

Well, if Kherim would put his face and hands inside the indentations, it would most certainly fit.....
