    Causing her handbow to light up the room in the courtesy of a casting of a light spell, Elayne searches the body for anything useful other than what she seen.

    "He looks half-elven. Either Gaston or Melvin from the list. I did not expect that we happen on a corpse that quick."

    Gashur waits for the others to search the body. Meanwhile, he makes an observation. "If that was a magical trap, that should be easy to notice. Like, you just detect magic everywhere we go. Starting, like, now."

    "Speaking of which ..." Sivi moves closer to the south door and begins checking it over while the others busy themselves with the fallen man.

    The Prison- Basement One

    Elayne's search of the body is not fruitless, but it is not encouraging. Examining the man's pack, she finds a large, ragged hole in it and nothing else. Presumably anything in the pack now lies strewn across the dungeon somewhere. However, when searching around the man's neck she finds two things- a signet ring hanging on a chain with the symbol of some house on it that has been defaced to illegibility by a sharp tool like a dagger, alongside a blue stone circle on a chain with a circle of runes surrounding a stern dwarven face made out of bronze, silver, and gold. This matches the description Bartimeus gave you for a key stone.

    Sivi's exploration of the southward facing door takes twenty minutes, but she does find something. There is an active "trap" on the door, hidden in the plethora of runes that cover it's surface. When the door is opened, which will occur when someone comes within a foot of it, a silent alarm will be triggered somewhere in the prison. Who is alive to hear the alarm and what their reaction will be remains a mystery.

    Elayne holds up an object turned up in her search.

    "What a surprise! This man has a key stone among his possessions. I will hold on to this until we either turn it in to Barthimeus for cash or need it to access an area depending on our decision."

    She takes her journal out, dropping the stone into her pack. She updates it with the details from the parchment and her findings in this floor before stowing it away. The samsaran's eyes glow blue as she takes her place just some distance behind Sivi, scanning the door for any trace of magic.

    "Seems fair." Alexos comments when the key stone is found. "Perhaps we keep ahold of this one, and turn in any others we find for a reward. Anyhow, I suppose we ought to return the body back up to the entrance chamber. Shame, didn't think a corpse would be the first thing we hauled up."

    Sivi adds a shorthand note about the alarm to her map, then informs her allies. "No traps. But if we open the door, there's some sort of alarm set up SOMEwhere in the complex. It's probably silent and it's probably not monitored anyway, so let's move ahead, if you're all ready."

    Elayne perceives an alarm spell, and well as a spell that raises and lowers the door when someone comes close.

    Elayne points to the door she perceive with her magical eyes.

    "It is still a trap. A magical one at that. Unless we have the means to negate it, tread at our own risk."

    She turns to Gashur.

    "Perhaps we can use a kobold as a guide around here if we leave or catch one alive. They make a good source of information for our logbooks if one of us know how to speak draconic."

    She shifts her body as she loots the dead half-elven. Once she finish stripping all the possession minus the clothing and symbol that serve as identification, she arrange them into a pile.

    "Discuss among yourselves which tool or possession in the pile that I gather is best distributed to who while I scan the remaining room for magic. After that, let's take the corpse up before we continue."

    The samsaran scans the remaining room for remnants of magic. If there is none, she will wait for the party's decision.

    "Well, the west door's alarm is dead, so we could just start there instead. I don't think I could do anything about that kind of trap -- as soon as someone gets too close to the door, it'll open up and the alarm will go off. Can't do my work without getting close enough to touch it. So, west, then?" Sivi doesn't seem bothered by the change in direction.

    Sivi demurs. "Oh, none for me. I'm pretty specialized ... daggers and little tools, both of which I already have."

    The Prison- Basement One

    Elayne's survey of the room determines that all the doors are magical in as much as they rise and fall automatically when you approach or pass through them, but only the southern door has an alarm spell on it. Part of the party splits off, standing on the circular rune stone and speaking the dwarvish word for "Up".

    The Prison- Ground Floor

    The archaeologists take a step back in surprise when people return from down below so quickly, and fall back even more when they realize the cargo that comes with them. Several rush away to see to other duties, but Bartimeus solemnly steps forward, calling over a few of the young archaeologists to help. One comes with a large roll of linen. "If you could set him down off the pad, please. I'm loathe to step on that thing." Once he has had a moment to examine the corpse, he sighs and shakes his head. "Gaston... they say he went deeper than anyone else." The team of scientists begin stripping him of his armor, following up by wrapping him in linen. Bartimeus calls one human woman forward and points towards the door. "Go to Qwerk's and buy some firewood. The pyre will start in an hour." Then his attention returns to the group. "Thank you for bringing him up. We'll see to his arrangements."

    "No, not at all. He was a young man, perhaps in his late twenties or thirties when he embarked. And his equipment was... different. He must have found arms and armor within the dungeon." Bartimeus reaches a hand out and strokes the dead man's cheek. "I had hoped that the Mutts would reach the bottom floor. If this... foul magic is any indication... perhaps they did."

    Before she steps on the pad and wait for Alexos's dwarven command, Elayne takes out the parchment with the list of names and crosses out Gaston.

    "Wait! Before we go down again, do the listed these expedition members have any notable features? Scars, birthmarks, birth defect or other visual features? If so, you might want to update this parchment. Additional details like the pitch of their voice, their usual behavior, and etc, would also be great if you can provide them. We would appreciate it as it would make it easier for us to identify any of the lost members."

    "I don't remember perfectly, but I do remember a few things that may assist you in identifying them." Bartimeus takes a quill and jots a few notes down on the list of party members who braved the dungeon.

    The group returns to the chamber, having dropped Gaston's body off for apparent cremation by the archaeologists.

    Elayne nods as Bartimeus jots down what he remembers. The follow up descend and one statement later, she holds a hand up, palm facing Sivi, who is waiting by the western entrance.

    "We haven't decide on what to do with the keystone we acquired. I, for one, agree we should keep this one, leaving it with Sivi who can do us a service by opening all those locked doors for us. What do you think?"

    Her head flicks between the rest of the group and the rogue at brief intervals.

    The Prison- Basement 1

    The western door opens into a straight hallway with three offshoots- two to the left and right respectively with iron doors bearing a blue circular slot in them fifteen feet in, and a chamber further down. Darkvision reveals the walls to be made from red stone. The same dull red lights are emitted from sconces near the ceiling, reflecting crimson light down. This poor illumination limits regular vision, but does nothing to limit the senses of those with dark vision or superior low light senses. Inside the chamber is a large circular hole, ten feet in diameter, but it is impossible to see inside without getting closer.

    After accepting the precious stone, Sivi slides quietly ahead to give the north and south doors a once-over. She's being very cautious, though not as thorough as with the doors from the entry chamber.
