As the group starts out again Rurik hears a soft voice from behind them...
"Now don't you be getting all up in arms, I am friend, not foe..." As he turns back he sees a female wood elf slink out of the shadows, nearly a part of them she moves so silently. "Izzerazz said you guys needed a bit of help down here, and I didn't get there in time to come with the last group." She glances to the group as they pause to take in the new member of the team. "Name's Melady. Izzerazz thought my skills would be useful for the group of you." She has black hair, coppery skin, and wears a set of studded leather. The boots she wears seem to make no sound as she moves, and the longbow over her shoulder has runes of magic carved into it. "I don't wish to slow down the work, so we can get into things later, after we get a bit further along here."
"Nice to have another elf with us down in these tunnels." Trin acknowledges the newcomer. "What does the main office think it's down here rest they're sending reinforcements?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"The home office has its way of knowing things I guess." Melady says with a shrug. "How am I suppose to know what they are after or what they are thinking.?"
She moves to the front of the group. "I will move out ahead and scout the path ahead." she informs the others. "It is what I do..."
Melady sneaks ahead of the group and comes up to another room.
Sleeping Grick. A grick alpha is coiled up in the southernmost section of the room and appears to be asleep.
Reverse Gravity. Directly above the grick, on the 20-foot-high ceiling, is an upside-down stone throne, seated upon which is a mummified minotaur with gems embedded in its eyes. A greataxe lies at the foot of the throne.
Debris. Stone debris is strewn across the floor and ceiling.
Secret Door. This secret door is hidden in the east corner of the north wall.
"Hey guys, there is a room ahead." She calls out softly, ehr voice sgtartling you as she has gotten much closer than you had expected her to without being noticed. "A bigger one of those things you just fought, and a strange throne is there. The throne is on the ceiling though..." She pauses then continues, "And a secret door seems to lead onward from there."
"Yep, that is the room I found the book in." Weasel confirms Melady's story of the room. "I was not able to get back to the secret door though, as those things chased me and I hid in that room."
Stigr's imp should have seen at least some of the same things, since he sent it to invisibly scout ahead, and he will order it to try and grab the gems out of the eye sockets of the minotaur.

Stealth: 24 Sleight of Hand: 6
Give me a dex save for him as he gets near the throne.
As the imp gets close to the throne it suddenly feels gravity reverse itself. The imp falls up and hits the ceiling, taking no damage, as it is only a few feet fall. Then it flies up and is able to pry out both gemstones.
One of the gemstones in the mummy’s eyes is a banded agate (10 gp), the other a zircon (50 gp).
Stigr will have it return and show them to he group before putting them with the other loot, "It seems we should stay away from the throne, gravity reversed itself and pulled my imp up. Be cautious."
“Well I can try to take a peek,” Rurik whispers to Melady. He leans his head in to see if he can see anything from where he’s at. “If ya want me to go first though, I don’t think I’m the guy for that specific job.”

Rurik turns to see who is speaking, sword up. He looks for Weasel. “How long have ya been here?” he asks.
"Nice to have another elf with us down in these tunnels." Trin acknowledges the newcomer. "What does the main office think it's down here rest they're sending reinforcements?"
Samantha nods. "Welcome aboard. It's always good to have meat shields ... I mean reinforcements."
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.

She moves to the front of the group. "I will move out ahead and scout the path ahead." she informs the others. "It is what I do..."
Stealth: 26
Perception: 26 passive is 16.
Weasel answers the questions directed at him...
"The group I was with and I got split up. I found that book I gave you, and then couldn't find them back." He shrugs. "No clue where they are now."
"How long have I been down here?" He asks Rurik, thinking. "A week or so I would guess. Holed up in that closet for the last couple days though."
Melady...
Melady sneaks ahead of the group and comes up to another room.
Sleeping Grick. A grick alpha is coiled up in the southernmost section of the room and appears to be asleep.
Reverse Gravity. Directly above the grick, on the 20-foot-high ceiling, is an upside-down stone throne, seated upon which is a mummified minotaur with gems embedded in its eyes. A greataxe lies at the foot of the throne.
Debris. Stone debris is strewn across the floor and ceiling.
Secret Door. This secret door is hidden in the east corner of the north wall.
Melady heads back towards the group,...
"Hey guys, there is a room ahead." She calls out softly, ehr voice sgtartling you as she has gotten much closer than you had expected her to without being noticed. "A bigger one of those things you just fought, and a strange throne is there. The throne is on the ceiling though..." She pauses then continues, "And a secret door seems to lead onward from there."

As the imp gets close to the throne it suddenly feels gravity reverse itself. The imp falls up and hits the ceiling, taking no damage, as it is only a few feet fall. Then it flies up and is able to pry out both gemstones.

Stigr will have it return and show them to he group before putting them with the other loot, "It seems we should stay away from the throne, gravity reversed itself and pulled my imp up. Be cautious."
The group moves on up to the room with the up-side-down throne and mummy, now without his gemstone eyes.
"If someone else is good at checking for traps, I am good at disabling them." Melady tells the others as she points out the secret door.
“Well I can try to take a peek,” Rurik whispers to Melady. He leans his head in to see if he can see anything from where he’s at. “If ya want me to go first though, I don’t think I’m the guy for that specific job.”
Perception 21
Samantha nods. "Same. I'm not good at finding traps, and there have been a few times where they've found me. I'll watch your back, though."
Perception - 12
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Rurik does not see any obvious traps on the door as he glances over it.
With his assurance Melady moves up and opens it.
The door opens into another room.
Map. A 30-foot-wide, floor-to-ceiling map is carved into the west wall.
Open Pit. In the middle of the room is a 10-foot-square open pit. Something is trapped in the pit and can be heard moving around inside it.
Tunnel. A tunnel leads off from this room.
