Quest for the Shunned City (Group 1)

Is his armor battle armor or is it ceremonial?  Any weapons?

Rubin moves around the room, looking for any secret doors, hidden storage places, etc.

Perception: 21

Gerry will see if he can figure out what the skeleton died of.  Although who knows how easy that would be on a skeleton.

Medicine: 9

Reggie, the armor is in great condition and looks like scaled armor with accents of feathers on the shoulder guards and gilded gold on the collar bone. The shield is made from a yew tree and is covered in couatl feathers. No weapons are found in the cavern. 

Rubin you move around the room look for any secret doors but you do not find any. When you walk next to the table you notice a few diary pages stacked in front of the skeleton. You pick them up and they appear to be Riane's diary pages. As you are picking up the pages, you feel a slight movement under your foot. Hand crossbow drawn you check under the table, but find nothing there. You examine the carpet under the table closer, and realize that it is magical. This is a carpet of flying.

Gerry you examine the skeleton and do not find any weapon markets on the bone. You can assume that Riane died naturally about a hundred years ago. As you were examining the skeleton, you notice that it is stuck in place, you try to move the skeletal arm and it does not budge. 

Gerry frowns.  "That’s weird."

He tries to move the skeleton with more force now (athletics 8 if needed).

Reggie would give the help action, seeing as he is going to try and take the armor off saying "Well maybe one of you could use this, or we could see if we can get some coin from it."

Even with all of Gerry's might and the help of Reggie, the skeleton does not budge a centimeter. 

Gerry will take a different approach, and try to remove the skeleton’s armor and shield.

Rubin looks over the pages and would read them aloud to the group, so everyone can have the information.

he would work the rug of flying out from under the table.

"Anything else to find here?" he asks, looking to the others.

Gerry will take a closer look at the pages.

"There are other words here, if we fit the pages together correctly."

Gerry and Reggie are able to don off the armor from the skeleton, who still stares at the map across from him on the wall...arm and fingers stretched out in front of him. The fingers are oriented in a way as if they once held something.

Rubin you shimmy the magical carpet out from under the table, careful not to damage it. It is 6 ft. by 9 ft. and can hold up to 6 creatures. Once freed from under the table the carpet shakes, like a dog after a bath, and seems to stretch out all of the fibers after many many years under a table. It then rests on the ground next to Rubin. 

"What do you think was in that hand?" Rubin asks, nodding to the hand.  "Anything in here, or that we have with us, that would fit there?"  He kneels down and runs his hand over the carpet, smiling as he does so.

Gerry speaks from over where he’s putting the puzzle pieces together.

"I think part of this says the skeleton lies, so maybe not."

Gerry will try putting the shield in the skeleton’s hand.  If that does nothing, he’ll put his sword in it.  If that still doesn’t work, he’ll try that one medallion (if we still have it, honestly can’t remember).

The shield doesn't quite balance on the hand and falls to the floor. Your sword fits in the hand, but doesn't do anything. Reggie currently holds the medallion that the original party received from Moop the goblin. Reggie, do you give it to Gerry or put the medallion in the hand?

Yes I do.

During the others search around, Benagol whispets

HUSH NOW, EASY... 

tieing a rope around the flying carpet

THIS MAY COME HANDY TO GO HOME

Sorry all. Busy weekend. I will post tomorrow.

Ruben already has a flying carpet under control. He would not let you put a rope around it.
