"The priests were hiding the portal, not attempting to use it," states Narrhil out loud, "so we need to find away to activate it. I have the identify spell ; if it is magical, I could learn the process?"

Due to urgency, Narrhil goes to examine the secret chute entrance first.

He ponders whether the heat of the portal, once its is activated could heat the surroundings, then moves to the crawl space to the domed chamber.

[Sorted, just so you know Eakratz is ill; he not even GMing his own game, so must be bad, some headbug? I try moving it along here. Try get the trio to the portal chamber].

Now he is ready, and feeling more like a warrior that a magic-user, Narrhil moves forward down the gap between the winestacks.

[Okay, sorted.

I keep meaning to give these scrolls to Kéet.
Scrolls of Cure of Deafness, Scrolls of Poison Neutralization, Scrolls of Healing of the most Critical Wounds, Scrolls of Protection of a Barrier of Blades

Also Votin was carrying the found Backpack: Can someone else carry it?Torch: x3 (number might be wrong?)1 Charcoal stick (loose)1 charcoal stick (heavily used nub) 50' of silk rope (coiled)1 piece of chalk (unused) 1 waterskin (empty) 1 hourglass (laterally packed) Set of metal picks (in pouch)4 bandages (unused)

Narrhil is: Weight Total (Encumbrance): W: 18#, Ar: 20#, In BP: 13#. = 51#

Str 11 is Light: 50#/ Medium: 50-100#/ Heavy: 101-150#

So, 1 # over light weight, I want to keep to light weight, so, if someone wants a footman's pick? That would drop him to 49# ].

[Well good luck, I just watched a few minutes of TV news on the area, and it just a vast array of destroyed buildings. Horrific. I bought the Drivethru appeal bundle, only £20 but if plenty of folk do it, it should help. Still, as you state: game on].

Magic Ice Dart
Lvl: cry 1 | Rng: 60 feet | Dur: instantaneous
Cyan-glowing icicles form in the hand of the caster and
fire at single target for 1d6+1 hp damage. For every
CA level, the sorcerer can fire an equal amount of magic
ice darts (i.e., one at CA 1, two at CA 2, three at CA 3,
and so forth). All missiles are fired at once, though each
requires a separate attack roll, modified by dexterity
attack modifier, if applicable. Cryomancers (but not
other sorcerers) gain +1 “to hit” for every 2 CA levels
(i.e., CA 1–2 = +1, CA 3–4 = +2, and so forth). N.B.: If
using the optional critical hits and misses rules, each
magic ice dart is subject to critical success or failure.

Narrhil's HPs: HP for 4th-level: [1d4]=3

[Wow, +5,734 XP, that him at 13,117 at present by my numbers. I will do the upgrade and get back to you. ]

Narrhil picks up his lent (more a gift) footman's pick with sadness, "Votin, rest well!" He says, for this time the man is without armour or weapons. Was it this time, the man truly dead?
