"This...isn't the vault at a-" He was cut off suddenly as the ropes jolted, a trap of sorts being set off. The vault closed and hissing was heard inside, like poisonous gas being released.
"Gomphus! Are you okay in there?? ...that's it..." Grabius will turn to look at the bat if it's still around on the mushroom.
If so, "...We don't have time for this!" And Grabius will launch a dagger at the bat (or stab at it with my shortsword if it's close enough. It was by the entrance where we are, correct?)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Boxey, why don't you go with him and I'll see if there's a way to get Gomphus out of this mess. I can't believe they would allow one of their own to walk into a trap like this..."
As he searched about Grabius found that the door had not locked, it was simply heavy, and had been forced closed, the handle was not blocked by anything, but it was definitely very heavy.
Cortinarius was watering some edible mushrooms in his garden when Zerxius arrived. "Oh hello there, may I ask why you and your friends were headed to the storage vault?"
"But...You directed us here, Cortinarius. We brought back the head of Blargh and you just told us to ask 'Buffo' (or Buffalo) to let us into the vault. Don't you remember?? ...where did that bat go...and where is the stone???"
~Bat...~ Cortinarius seemed more and more confused. He led the party to a large door, which he gestured to. ~This is the real vault...Buffo is a myconid like us, not a bat, I believe someone is trying to have you killed. The stone is in here.~

You noticed several ropes around the ceiling of the chamber, a small white object was in the far corner of the room.
Grabius is sure this must be a trap of some sort and will investigate, looking for any triggers, as he cautiously approaches the small white object.
Investigation: 5
You deduce that it appears to be a trigger which will enable the door to close if a rope is severed, which means it is probably a trap.
Grabius tells the others to step back, out of the vault, and yells back to Gomphus,
”Hey Gomphus! Set that head down and get over here. Be a good friend and go get the reward promised while we see to a few things.”
Gomphus sat down the head and gingerly waddled over to the vault and walked inside. He paced around a bit.

The bat that had been there a moment ago was gone.
“What do you see in there Gomphus? Did you get the stone?”
"This...isn't the vault at a-" He was cut off suddenly as the ropes jolted, a trap of sorts being set off. The vault closed and hissing was heard inside, like poisonous gas being released.
"Betrayed!"

Attack: 21
Damage (Dagger): 5 // Damage (Shortsword): 7
(sorry I said spider instead of bat, the bat appears to be gone)
You suddenly hear a voice.
~Guys...guys...it's dark...and very stinky in here...~ Gomphus said. ~This isn't the vault...at all, at least I don't think so~
Zerxius is going back to the chieftain

Boxey shakes her head and follows Gomphus' voice, her mace at the ready in case something attacks.
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.

we were directed that way and your fellow Gomphus is trapped inside

"Directed that way..?" Cortinarius looked confused. He shrugged. "Alright let me try to help get him out..."
Cortinarius headed over to the "vault".
"Hmm...who here among you is strong, I doubt I can open this on my own..."
Boxey sighs. "I'll help." She cracks her knuckles and goes to the vault and open it.
Strength - 15

With Boxey's help you both are able to open the false vault.
~oh oh oh! It was dark in there!~ Gomphus sighed, relieved.
~I don't know what happened...I believe we should search for whoever directed you here.~ Cortinarius mumbled, rubbing his brow.
"But...You directed us here, Cortinarius. We brought back the head of Blargh and you just told us to ask 'Buffo' (or Buffalo) to let us into the vault. Don't you remember?? ...where did that bat go...and where is the stone???"
