Jakob, for some reason or another, feeling particulalrly like a jerk, decides not to answer - or make any noise in any way.

The idea warhammer fades away with figmented glare. Jakob sees above the door to the exit room a scratch-drawn rabbit.

Rowan asks Jakob if he's alright.

Korgan heals Simon in what is almost a visible show of compassion.

Jakob decides to taunt Rowan with ignorance. Ignorance may strike back.

Rowan peers into the darkness vainly.
Clenching his dagger in his teeth for a moment to free his hand, he ditches his backpack inside the room before sheathing the dagger and drawing his rapier.

"One of you get over here and hold the door, or spike it open or something. I'm not getting any answer from Jakob so I'm going to see if he's ok."

Terra's head pops up with a small gasp realizing she had fallen asleep while rubbing her eyes. She mutters something about having a wonderful dream and cutting many things to pieces. She had to admit she felt a bit bad for zonking out like that but then again things were getting rather boring with people searching, getting others out of traps and not much battling. Her eyes look around to see that most of the party was occupied with other things.

It was then she overheard one of them mention holding a door so Terra headed over there and grabbed the object. "Here, I got it," she said while getting a firm grasp on the door. Her head peeked around to see what was on the other side and then went back to focusing on keeping the door open.

((Yay for healing spells! ^.^ Now how many HP did I get back?))

Simon blinks as he sees the dwarf knock down the door to one of the formerly hidden alcoves.

"Uh, right. Of course he did. I was just testing your powers of observation there. Nicely spotted."

He breathes easier as Korgan heals his wound.

"Much obliged friend Korgan. Never let it be said that loud smelly dwarves aren't good people."

He steps into the alcove and begins searching for whatever valuables might be left lieing about.

Now that Terra has taken hold of the door, Rowan cautiously steps into the circular room, his torch held high and rapier at the ready.

Eyes peeled for danger (Spot +5), Rowan moves aproximately 10 feet into the room so that the light of his torch shines on the far wall. If that doesn't let him see their wayward scout, then he'll advance forward until he can.

"Nightbreeze! Where are you? Are you alright?"

Jakob, for purposes of his act, tests the door handles to see if it is locked.

If not, he makes a show of appearing the fiddle with the door, and if so, attempts to open the mechanisim.

<Open Lock check +8>

Rowan wants to know Where's Jakob.

Terra casts the mundane spell 'Hold Door'.

Simon is cured By Korgan for: (1d8+1=4)

In the interests of not bogging down on petty details, Simon sees Jakob.

Erm...Correction: Simon sees an alcove. Said alcove is full of mold and junk. Rowan sees Jakob.

Correction again: Simon Searches: (1d20+6=16)You find five gp and a note which reads 'Glory, glory, pikachoochoo, I just stepped on a cthulhu! I lost my brain to a rubber tamboreen and my fingers are all dimensional!' The other side of the note reads 'Yoggy-Bearry was here'.

Jakob is 'unlocking' a lock. For some reason, the door is not locked at all...Although it does have a lockable knob.

Rowan retreats back to the room where the rest of the party is, after checking to make sure he's ok. He then gathers up all his gear.

"You guys ready to continue on? Jakob's fine, he's just involved in picking a lock. He must not have heard me. We'll need a way to prop that heavy door open, for sunlight and fresh air if for no other reason. Anyone have any ideas?"

"Well we can either destroy the hinges on it like we did last time we wanted a door down, or someone can grab something heavy to use as a doorstop," Terra said in response to Rowan. She continued to hold the door open until someone else either came up with a better idea or actually did something to relieve her of her current door holding duties.

"You need a doorstop? No problem. We'll just slide this stone door over there while Simon finishes his search of the last room!" Korgan begins slowly dragging the stone slab across the room so that it can block the path of the door to the next chamber. Korgan activates his feat of strength (Strength domain special ability) to make it a little easier to move the stone door on the ground.

Jakob starts humming an obscenly bad tune in apureposefully obscene bad way to attempt to make his companions hurry up.

Simon crumples up the note and tosses it aside, wondering to himself what kind of mushrooms the fool that wrote it must have been eating. He pockets the gold and rushes over to check the last alcove.

Rowan sets his shoulder to the heavy door and pushes it wider so Terra can assist Korgan in hauling the stone door slab in to the way as a stop for the main entrance to the dungeon.

"I got the door Terra, if you can help Korgan get that thing in the doorway here. I'm eager to get deeper into the dungeon for Fame and Glory! Aeron! Ellimist! Are you guys coming? Adventure awaits!"

"Okay, guys, I think I have an idea, based on the signs above the room."
Jakob says, forgetting what the original design of the dungeon supposedly was.
"Mechanics" He says, pointing at the door with the Gear.
"Monsters", pointing to the ginat rat this time.
"And Magic", finally tapping the door he just "unlocked".
"Which do we want to take care of first?"

"I think we should head through the monsters door while we are still fresh and battle ready."

Rowan shrugged to shift the weight of his backpack more evenly and spun his dagger through his fingers with a grin.

Terra's eyes twtiched a bit to the horrid humming but thankfully someone started to do something so that he would shut up. "Thanks Rowan," Terra said while heading toward Korgan to assist him with the giant doorstop hoping that this could get done a little but quicker. She then overheard what Jakob was saying and responded with, "I like Rowan's idea but then again I might be biased I have not had fun in a while."

With a grim, yet oddly satisfied smile, Jakob playfully and unessecarily engages a small floor routine as he tumbles up to the "Monsters" door.

Het sets to work Searching the door for Pointy Doom, and listens for distubances on the other end which wouuld possibly be caused by the theoretical monsters.

For ease of rolling:
Tumble: +8
Search: +7
Listen: +6
If traps are found, its logical that a disabke device check at +8 will be made!

"Monsters." Korgan grunts as he and Terra drag the slab of stone across the room. Once Simon emerges from the last room, Korgan is going to go see what happened to Ellimist.

With the quiet pop and a cloud of dust something exits a transdimensional space as though it's been there for a while. Sheaves of paper and music settle quietly on the ground next to a body. The bard peels himself off the floor and looks around, confused.

"I heard someone whistling out of tune. What'd I miss," Aeron whispers urgently.
