It was an appraise check and Surin rolled well and Ragnar rolled a 1.

I thought your schedule was going to lighten up after school got out and the shows went into reruns. You are as bad as Burlew.

OOC: Really busy yesterday. Sorry for the late reply.
IC: Allistair laughs a little in spite of himself at this comment from Mund. "I'm surprised you of all people would ask that question. Remember that I was your younger long before I've became a wizard. You weren't always as easy to get along with as you are now, and you used to pick a lot of fights, with me and everyone else. Also our hometown, and our people in general, are generally not a peaceful society. In some ways the simple fact that I survived to manhood is an testament to my fortitude."
"You are correct in observing that mages for the most part are not physically strong or tough. That's not because the use of magic training makes you weak and feeble, just that a lot of physical strength and endurance isn't necessary to learn it. Though having it can be helpful, as you noticed when I was attacked by the Manticore."

"So, what was it like being a tough guy in an entire school full of wimps?"

"Ok" Harp says "Salix, Allistair, Ran and Mund will go down to the door. Mund will open it while Salix and Allistair look in and see what they can see. Mund will then close the door as quietly as he can and hopefully whatever is in the room will be none the wiser. We have a good idea of how big the room is, 70 x 50, but we do not know if it is broken up into smaller rooms. If the things attack, you two" he points at the mage and the druid, "make it back here to the main room as fast as you can. Mund and Ran will be the rear guard. You two" he points to the two fighters "retreat as best you can with out opening yourselves up to too much danger. We will try and have an ambush ready here."
The four nod and head off down the hallway. When they get about 40 feet from the door, they slow and try and make their way as quietly as possible. As they get to the door they take up positions. Salix and Allistair look at each other and nod at Mund. The barbarian opens the door (Move Silent, 17+4=21, vs listen check, 5+?=?). The door swings open and the druid and the mage look in.
The room is as big as they thought it would be, 70 x 50. in the middle of the room stand four creatures that are the oddest creatures the two have ever seen. They stand about 5 feet high and 5 feet wide. They have three arms, three legs and three eyes spread about their body. Their skin is green and very rough. On top of the body is a huge mouth full of teeth. The hands end in sharp claws. Allistair motions to Mund to close the door(Knowledge check: Planes, DC 17, 19+6=25, success) and the barbarian tries his best (Move Silent, 8+4=12, Listen check, 14+?=?). As he moves the door it lets out a squeak and the four figures turn their bodies so that at least two eyes of each one is looking at the door.
As Mund closes the door, the four at the door hear a voice call out "Hello the door". The voice is deep and rumbling, almost like an earthquake.
OODM: What do you want to do? I am sending Derek info on what Allistair knows.

Right as Mund is closing the doors, a light goes on in Allistairs mind. "Flaming arse of Heironius! We need to get away fast!" Allistair swears as he starts running away from the door back to the hallway and very quickly motions everyone to leave the door and follow him. "Don't worry too much about the noise. I think they saw us at the very end. We need to get behind another door as quick as we can before I can take time to explain everything."
OOC: Allistair will go on and explain what he knows AFTER everyone gets away to a safer place.

"Let's go go go!" Mund yells out, pushing everybody forward in front of him.
