On to the treasure room
Subject Ragnar does his thing
Surin nods to Mund, letting him lead the way towards their next challenge. After that scrape he got in from the ghoul he's not much in the mood for chat and frivolities. Shadows from his delirium were still swimming around his head, and Surin found himself wishing for the first time he was someplace else. Just a couple more of these doors, he thinks to himself, then we can all get the heck outa here. He approaches the door carefully, paying attention for any noises not attributable to Mund before pressing his ear against the door to try to hear inside the room.

After the commotion of Surin's recovery dies down, Kal approaches the halfing. With a firm handshake Kal says "I'm happy to see you've recovered. Your bravery in the last room must have won the Battle God's favor."

The party quickly forms up, Mund and Harp in the first row, Ran and Kal following with Ragnar and Salix in the third row and Allistair and Surin bringing up the rear. They quickly retrace their path from the day before and find themselves in the room where the ghouls had been. The stench in the room has dissipated enough that no one gets sick when entering. At Harp's gesture Surin moves forward to take another listen at the door. The halfling seems to hesitate a second before moving to the front. After another quick check for traps Surin puts his ear to the door and strains to hear what he can. Time passes for what seems hours but can only be seconds and the halfling shakes his head. He shows Mund and Harp how the door opens and then steps back into his place.
Harp points to Mund and gestures that Harp will open the door and that Mund should enter with the 1/2 orc right behind. The barbarian nods and Harp opens the door. As the two take a quick look into the room they are surprised to see that it is well lit. They make a quick survey of the room and see nothing. The two then move into the room, still prepared for an attack, in case there is anything that can not be seen. Kal and Ran move in as a second wave, all four spreading out. The room is 30 by 40 and there is a small table on the far wall. On the table can be seen a fancy key with a medium sized jewel in it. The key seems to be made out of some odd metal.
OODM: OK what do you want to do? Jason if you could send both maps back in JPG that would be great.

As Harp enters the room, Kal and Ran following him, he sees the table on the far wall, the key gleaming in the light. Nothing else is readily visible. That's it? A key on a table? They had not seen anything like this before. The keys had always been on the floor, waiting to be picked up.
Harp's desire to walk in and just take the key is tempered by the near disaster of the ghouls. "Hold!!" he says to the others in the room. "Does this feel right to any of you?" he asks.
OOC: Assuming anyone else has the same feelings, Harp will proceed as follows:
IC: "Kal, ask Surin to come up behind you and take a closer look."
