It smells like wood, but a bouquet you don't recognize easily.

Unknown.

Uncertain of the cause of the smell, Narrhil is forced to continue his search, he awaits Kéet's and Tillak's opinions.

[BTW: Eakratz is on holiday at present]

While Narrhil ponders his companions' lackadaisical actions, he performs a deep search of the domed chamber for secret passageways and finds none.
He lies within the depressed stone lift but it doesn't move.
He cannot find a source of the smell or see any wisps of actual smoke in the dome.

"Perhaps we still need a form of key to activate portal?" Narrhil was perplexed.

Iron Ranger · 2/20/2025 8:23 pm

Narrhil sees nowhere to put a key.

Caveman · 2/21/2025 5:50 am

"The witch said the priest had the key, now perhaps the sorcerer has taken it, so he can come and go, how does she expect us to enter the portal without a key, there must be another hidden in these parts, if not lost for eternity in the Abyss?" queries the cryomancer. "Perhaps we can only wait for the portal to open and rush through, or ambush the sorcerer, but he must be too powerful for us, or he would have been vanquished by now!"

"It's plan as good as any, Maybe gather our meager supplies and just camp out here until something happens or we get bored waiting?"

Caveman · 2/21/2025 2:44 pm

Narrhil nodded at Kéet, still pondering their predicament, I could do with relearning some of my spells, if we are going to encounter hostilities, but I would need another night's rest!"

"We have the magical bowl of broth/stew and we could secure this area, we have light and determination?" it was a part question, he still mourned the lost of Votin, and gripped the man's battle axe tightly, he was in no mood for any form of combat at present but if he must, he wanted to make sure he was capable.

Fatigue falls upon the three.
Do they remain in the smoke scented domed chamber or go elsewhere for slumber?

Caveman · 2/22/2025 4:16 am

[Difficult, to ambush them, it best we are in same chamber, but if smoke is uncomfortable, it best we move to the wine cellar?]

Iron Ranger · 2/22/2025 9:40 am

[Reminder, there is no actual smoke in the chamber , it is just a scent of smoke.]

Caveman · 2/22/2025 2:14 pm

[Right, comprehend ]

"Let's just crash here. The scent may keep away beasts."

"This is fine," states Narrhil, "I will watch first, you can both get some sleep." He pulls forth his winter blanket to sit on, and then the magical bowl and spoon. Giving it to his comrades first; so they can eat, then get some sleep.

TIme passes uneventfully and unmeasurably. They eat, they sleep, they wake.
