((That's what I also thought.  That we'd agreed they do the two stints to equal 8 hours, or whatever.  Also, Sael wouldn't mind getting in a quick nap.))

(I believe that was the plan, so they could take turns keeping watch and letting Oban rest and heal. Also, Andrømeda would like to take a short power nap too)

Oh, man. That's my bad, then. In that case, Oban got a long rest, Kwiz and Rush each got 4 hours (a short rest as of right now), and the rest were digging all night. Right? 

Kwisatz shakes himself away as the team pushes through the rubble and says "This is quite exciting is it not?! After this everyone will deserve a good long sleep! But first! What is in there?!"

After getting a long rest, Oban wants to make his skills as a Ranger useful. He takes the lead heading into the Hall of Greed.  What you see inside is a room that is structurally symmetrical. An alcove in the south wall holds the rubble of a shattered statue. An alcove to the north holds a statue of a dwarf with horns, which stares greedily at a glowing green gem in its hands. 

"Hey," Oban says. "Look at that gem!"

"That emerald," Norbus notes with awe, "has got to be worth at least 1,000 gold. Be careful with it, now, elf."

Oban reaches out to pick it up. Within seconds, the emerald starts to decay and erode until in a very short amount of time, it's a pile of green ash seeping through Oban's fingers. "What the hec..."

Ka-Boom!

The statue explodes, dealing 31 piercing damage to Oban. Everyone else needs to make a CON save to see whether or not you take damage from the sound. DC 10 CON save, or take 1 thunder (sound) damage.

With that much damage (more than double his HP) Oban is gone. After the explosion, all that's left of him is one of his boots, which falls impotently on the floor in the middle of the room; and his backpack. Oddly enough, his equipment took very little damage as the brunt of the explosion was taken by Oban's body. Should the party look (because the dwarves definitely would, even if they have to wait until everyone else leaves), you would find the following items in his pack:

• Arrows x20
• Hunting Trap
• Mess Kit
• Torch x5
• A pouch with 40 gold pieces

You would also find, flung across the room:

• shortsword x2
• Longbow (broken, but reparable)

Con save: 6

Andrømeda did not expect that explosion. Although she was safe from the force of the blast, the sound of the explosion bouncing and revirbirating off of the walls and roof of the room, making the room shake and dust and grit to fall from the ceiling, hit her hard enough to cause damage. ((Granted...it's 1 damage...but still...))

CON 15

Though shocked by the explosion, Kwisatz was just far enough back to be out of the splash zone. He's slightly stunned, as this was the second companion he'd seen vaporize in the last two days, but Duncan grips his shoulder and he's able to hold on.

Once inside, he immediately sets down his book to recast Detect Magic as the rest of the team looks for treasure.

Kwisatz, being of a somewhat smaller stature, had the majority of the thunderous blast of sound shielded from him by the others in the room. He takes no damage. 

Andrømeda walks over to what is left of the Elf, reaching down and picking up the boot, a scowl on her face. She muttered to herself in Giant "Han deservt en bedre slutt enn dette(He deserved a better end than this)." Turning towards the rest of the group, she asks, "Does anyone know if Oban hadde family?"

Sael ConSave: 21

 "Don't touch anything. Just wait a moment!" Sael responds.  "Kwiz, what's magic in here?"

Rush con save 15 

Kwisatz sits down and focusing on his spell book, he mumbles the words of the incantation and magic silently flows out from him, spreading out as far as it can go, but he doesn't detect any sources of magic besides the sending stones.

Rush's survival instinct kicked in at the moment of the explosion and he put his shield in front of his upper body, protecting his head, especially, and took no damage from the explosion.

Sael, was also caught off guard and she sound of the explosion penetrated behind her eyes, causing some acute pain. She takes 1 point of thunder damage.

A bit disappointed, Kwisatz replies "I think the only thing magic in here just went pop..." He then says "Perhaps we should all get some rest..."

((is the door leading south just outside this chamber hidden or a normal one?)) ((who was looking for the treasure listed while Kwiz was looking for magic?))

The southern door in the hallway is a normal door. It was something that you would have noticed right off the bat when you came out of the room just north of the hallway.

"...though, there is clearly more in here. There was the door just outside this tunnel, and likely more around as well." Kwisatz adds, and while tired, you can see a twinkle of curiosity in his eyes.

Now that Kwiz has confirmed all is 'safe', Sael presses her thumbs into her eyes briefly to relieve the sudden bit of pain she felt, and heads over to the remains of Oban.  She begins to shuffle through his things and says "I suppose we can divvy up the essentials, but perhaps we should save something if he had family?  Possible family heirlooms, etc..."  She quietly fills a torn piece of his clothing with his ashes, ties it up tightly, and stores it for possible return.  She pauses for a moment, then looks at the others.  "I have... some family.  If you're able to return my boomerang and some of my gold to the one who posted the bulletins for these jobs, it'll get to them.  If the need arises.  Your call."  She then turns to the dwarves.  "Did you know it was dangerous?  You let him grab it."

With an almost offended expression, Dazlyn responds, "N-no. We had don some research, but we didn't read anything about there being booby traps."

"It's not surprising, though," Norbus says cynically. "These folk followed the actual god of greed. So, if they couldn't have it, then no one could, I guess."

((If you're divvying up some/all of Oban's gear, let me know who takes what, please.))

Kwisatz goes back down the hallway and cautiously opens the south door across from where the party had come from. Half-buried in the rubble here is the skeleton of a dwarf priest wearing rotted red leather armor. The dwarf appears to have been killed when part of the room collapsed.
