"My name is Golver Shimmerclaw, I am sure you have probably heard of me and my family... we are kind of a big deal so I won't bother wasting your time with information you already know." The dragonborn will say as he moves to the table and grabs the paper and hands it to Katerina, his ornate cloak swaying behind him. "We were working to figure out this riddle and we are pretty sure the answer is fire. When I lit a fire in the fireplace, that was when you appeared." 

     As Golver goes over the riddle with the newcomer, The halfling scans the desk again. The map catches Necey's eye. "Hmmm... I am pretty good with maps, but I left my map making tools at home," she says embarrassed of her forgetfulness. "I wonder what it is a map of...?"

Investigation? 19

"It doesn't look very lit," Katerina points out. "Maybe you could try again?" She grins and starts poking around on the desk.

Investigation: 11

Necey examines the map and realizes it's an unfinished map of the room and shows a secret passage in the fire place!

Katerina notices the items indicated on the desk but nothing new.

Caerlan looks at the map over Necey's shoulder "What do you see? Anything useful?" 

    "Hmmm... possibly," Necey replies to the gnome. "Let's see if we can get a closer look. This maps shows there might be a secret passage in there." She takes the lamp from the table and examines the inside of the fireplace. Looking back to Golver. "No fireballs this time, okay?!"

At the mention of the last test by Caerlan, Golver would get a little quieter. Then hearing Necey talk with Katerina, A large smile would spread across his face. "That is right, I have everything under control! I will go ahead and make sure that fireplace is lit this time!' The gold and silver scaled dragonborn will say as he starts taking some deep breaths. Smoke seems to start billowing from Golvers nostrils and chrimson flickering light begins to radiate from down inside the throat of the dragonborn. At the mention of a secret door, Golver would try his best to stifle the imminent flame eruption. Coughing violently as flames and smoke shoot from his nostrils. "COUGH COUGH! Yeahh.. " The dragonborn would stutter through a few tears and coughing. "I.. I thought there might be a secret door there too.. yeah" The dragonborn would say turning his head and pressing his silver scaled hand up to his nose and blowing a black slimy mass on to the floor. A combination of ash and snot splats against the floor before Golver turns to the group. "Yeah.. I will uhh.. just see if I can find that secret door then" 

9 = investigation

OOC: Uh GROSS!

Golver has no luck with the door.

I'm good at this sort of thing, Necey do you want to help?"

Caerlan has a good look around once Golver vacates the space, trying to let Necey in at the same time if she wants.

Investigation 9

If advantage from help then the second roll is here 14

OOC I have never seen as many 1's rolled in one game before... 

"Secret doors? I love secret doors!" Katerina bounces excitedly while Caerlan and Necey look around the fireplace. She takes out several tools and starts fiddling around with her horn, reattaching a loose gear.

OOC: Yer cursed I tell ye cursed by the shadow of Dumat.... *scary noises*

Caerlan, aided by whom/what, looks critically at the fireplace and mantle but cannot see how or where anything could possibly become a door. Possibly its his height but Golver is tall and failed to notice too. Maybe he could step aside and let the others have a look too!

Golver would move away from the fireplace, his nose still stinging from stifling the flame breath. "You guys keep checking the fireplace, I am going to see if there is anything else that needs lit on fire that would open the secret door." The dragonborn would say as he moves over to the table and take the magnifying glass off the table and hold it up to his large golden eye. The large dragonborn will then move around the room looking for any additional torches or lamps or anything that might need lit. If he finds any torches, he will also try to pull on them to see if they open a door if just lighting them doesn't do the trick.

"Well I'm sure it's in there but I can't for the life of me find anything, anyone else going to take a look in there?" Caerlan asks as nonchalantly as possible, although a little bit of a tick seems to happen around his eye as he says this. 

Golver finds very little else that would logically be lit on fire to open a secret passage in the fire place.

Necey with the map and a nack for it would roll with advantage.

      Necey sits her lamp and map on the floor near the fireplace. Getting down on all fours, she looks over the map again. "Hmm... let's see," her nose wrinkles and tongue sticks out a little as she studies the map intently. After a moment she gets up and does her own search of the area.

Investigation 17

Caerlan whispers up to Golver "I suspect our initial investigations will have made it easier for our friend to crack the challenge, probably best not to make too big a fuss though, can't always have all the glory can we?" he says whilst subjecting Necey's investigative technique to intense scrutiny. 

Moving into the hearth the small halfling fells along the blackened brick work to find a brick that sticks out subtlely more than the others and gives it a push. Then suddenly the entire fireplace begins to spin turning itself and the halfling around until she's gone! To the shock of the party another fireplace, blackened and similarly made as the other, takes its place.

Necey

Golver would nod to Caerlin, whispering as quietly as he could.  "Absolutly, I mean... It has to be easier to find the correct answer when literally every other answer has already been eliminated" The dragonborn will say with his large arms folded across his chest. Then as Necey disappears into the wall, Golver will shout "How the?! I mean... yes... FInally she pressed the button that I found and knew about... It feels good to let others have small victories on occasion.." The dragonborn will say with a slightly confused and frustrated look on his face as he moves closer to the fireplace "I am reminded of a dragonborn tale... of if you make someone a sandwich.. they eat what you want them to... but if you teach them how to make a sandwich... they eat whenever they want.... or something like that... It is how I live my life..." 

Katerina's eyes get big. "That. Was Awesome! She was just like, GONE! I wanna try!" She rushes over to the fireplace too.

Investigation?: 18

OOC: Wow...we just suck...hopefully that's not necessary after Necey found the button

     As soon as the fireplace begins to move, Necey goes stiff in surprise, not moving from what she last touched. After waiting for a moment she presses the button again.
