Tillak moves closer to the hole and sees how close he can get to the hole before he can see what's on the other side without putting his ey to the hole.

Tillak moves past the 3x3x3 foot block of stone and looks into the wall opening. the hole is 3x3x3ft in the wall.
He sees moving torchlight and hears footsteps on the stone floor beyond.

Votin reexamines the racks of vials...perhaps he missed something the last time, maybe another entrance to the room upstairs.

The racks hold many dusty glass bottles of red liquid.
A several bottles of clear liquid are mixed in.

Tillak looks for a way to enter that chamber.

Votin picks up one of the clear liquid bottles and examines it.

the glass is hand blown, and covered in a thin coating of dust.
The cork stopper is still intact. The liquid inside is crystalline clear, about 80% full.

Votin carefully unciorks the vial and cautiously sniffs.

The cork is brittle but slides out of the bottle intact. The clear liquid smells stale and vaguely salty.

Tillak extinguishes his torch and does so.

Votin recaps the bottle and secures it and a red vial in his pouch, then prepares to enter the tunnel again.

As he adds the bottles to his pack he sees movement inside the wall hole through the last shelving!

Votin freezes for an instant then gets closer and shines the torch down in the hole.'

"Show yourself!"

Votin comes around the shelf to find Tillak the Warlock poking his head through.

"Votin! Brother, I finally found you!"

"Tillak , is it you?"

It is I, Votin!

Tillak thinks that Votin looks on the verge of death.

bald_headed_yeti · 12/13/2022 7:06 pm

"Tillak...you are a sight for sore eyes."

SullyB74 · 12/13/2022 8:48 pm

If TIllak can administer first aid, then he does.

Tillak searches his pack for anything to ease the barbarian's recent battle fatigue but comes up emptyhanded. And his spellbook only holds Shatter and Shove.
