((So if the party's waiting for Trinjya, I'm assuming Morn's keeping a close mind's eye on the king, anyone else doing anything?))

((Is the dagger Trinjya found a functional weapon? Speaking of daggers, with her own dagger, she is over her carrying capacity right?.))

Samael readies his crossbow, aiming at called out points.

"come on, you low-feeding hopper, Sammy's got a taste for frog legs......

((Functionally fancy. Don't worry about daggers taking up too much space.))

Nothing responds to Samael's plea.

(OOC - Morn is just keeping an mind's eye out on the king and relating his general position to the group while we wait for Trinjya. He takes no other actions, just readies himself to cast a spell if the king reveals himself.)

Horatio gathers any valuable-looking loot and leaves the rest, sending the imp to the skies once more to try and get an eye on the King or other dangers nearby.

"There's fishy things in that pool, big fat heads and skinny tails!", Gandalon informs Horatio.

"can they break free?"

((Horatio, you found what you could on the guards near the throne, are you wanting to search somewhere else too? The guards that Gandalon and the party dropped around the perimeter haven't been searched, but the king's still lurking about...))

Trinjya finishes her spell as Morn, Samael, Gandalon and the unseen but nearby king conduct their standoff.

The mace itself is clearly moderately magical. It has an enchantment/evocation flavor to it. You cast about moving around the throne stump and detecting nothing, before moving into the hut, where you get a faint ping from under a hide rug towards the back, of transmutation in nature.

Trinjya will warily walk over to the rug and gently lift the rug using her rapier to see what is beneath.

Dirt.

((The faint essence of transmitation magic os still there and coming from the dirt (or whatever is behind the dirt)?))

Trinjya surmises it's from something buried.

(( For some reason I thoght the rug was on the wall for some reason, rereading your post i came to the conclusion that it is an unexplanable mystery why I did so))

Trinjya takes her dagger and carfully starts to scrape away the dirt.

((That would be quite the puzzle!))

Trinjya scrapes away some soil, her blade shortly clacking against an earthenware urn in the soil. Excavating it she's able to pull it free.

(spike status?)

((Morn's spike? He's continuing to keep the party updated.))

((Is there anything on it that would indicate what she just dug out? Any sort of script or images on it? And does it look pretty?(I wouldn' t suppose some pot that was burried somewhere is,  but...who knows) ))

Not fancy, but much less crudely made than you'd think the frogfolk are capable of. 

Hearing Trinjya digging around in the dirt, Morn calls back over his shoulder as he continues to watch for and call out the rough location of the frog king, "What did you find Trinjya? Perhaps, if it's easy enough to carry, we can stow in someone's pack and look closer at it later? I'd rather be getting away from here while I can still sense where the frog king is so we're less likely to get ambushed on the trail out."
