Dragon quickstep

[Anastasia]

A noise just beyond the door. Footsteps - heavily muffled, but your ears are far better than a mortal's.

[Corwin]

Seira creates a Veil on this side of the door that should show it as it had been before their arrival, complete with indistinct complaints about work that sound like the pair she'd knocked out. Meanwhile, she'll take position, invisibly, by the door and ready to strike at whoever enters through it.

[Anastasia]

The door opens. Another azer, who peers ahead and shakes his head to himself, "Fucking lazy..." he begins.

Go for it by all means.

[Corwin]

Seira stops time! Within this frozen moment, she peers past the azer into the next room to see whether anyone else is present. And if they are, whether they can see the doorway and what happens there!

20:19 <Corwin> roll 1d4+1
20:19 <Rei-chan> Corwin rolled : 1d4+1 --> [ 1d4=1 ]{2}

[Anastasia]

Nope. No one in there. In the next room looks to be stuffed animal heads of all kinds. Thousands of them just racked and listed, great metal shelves holding them and engraved plaques listing information about each one.

[Corwin]

Seira positions herself behind the azer, after checking for traps. Then, as time resumes, she takes care of him the same way she had for the others!

[Anastasia]

Aaand he's down and out. Easy as can be.

[Corwin]

Seira takes his appearance with another Veil, and secures him with his fellows, properly tied up and gagged.

In the meanwhile, I think the room will be emptied and we'll see if there's anything else of note and if there's another trap door here.

[Anastasia]

The room is indeed emptied. You find that several chests are sunken into the floor, only the very tops poking out. Less under the heavy bars however, no loose items like last time. However, there is a door west that was hidden by bars and is now revealed, in addition to the door you've already peeked in and seen the room with the animal heads.

[Corwin]

After checking the chests for traps, Seira gestures for Ranbar and Donald to open them. For her part, she examines the other door, first checking it for traps and magic and then listening by it to tell whether there's any sound coming from the other side.

Perception 10 for 120.

[Anastasia]

The chests are open. Most are empty, but one?

I found some dragon eggs, Seira. They're still viable, they're preserved.

[Corwin]

Put them inside a bag of holding if it's safe, Seira instructs. Ranbar would know enough to make the judgement call.

Seira, however, has a western door to explore!

[Anastasia]

This door, while ancient, has a still active magical trap on it. One of great power that will turn any who try to open it into a stone statue.

[Corwin]

Seira dispels it, while watching out for secondary traps! Which she'll also dispel, if necessary!

22:26 <Corwin> roll 1d20+43
22:26 <Rei-chan> Corwin rolled : 1d20+43 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{57}

[Anastasia]

The traps, while old, are powerful.

Yet not that powerful.

They crumble away to your magic, as desired.
