They head back and down the stairs on the other side. Again, there are 6 broad one foot steps but this room is dry. There are three iron-bound wooden chests within a chalked circle on the floor. They have been magically preserved and appear new. Alzar has the Stalker enter the circle and open the chests, There appear to be 400 gp,m 400 g , and a glowing golden sword. The Star of Mo-Pilar shows the gold’s real but the sword is a trapped, polymorphed monster they skip and leave.
They open a secret door in the back of the room after Alzar uses a vial of acid on the lock. There is a small stone chamber beyond with a irregular edges and another door on the far side of this room. Between the two doors in an otherwise empty-looking room is a twisted human skeleton missing its head. A quick Star check shows a trap here that falls from the ceiling, and crushes the whole room. The greater elemental heads in and triggers it, and it falls and hits the Elementals shoulders, and does nothing to it, and they have plenty of space under to move through.
The next door opens into a much larger chamber that held 7 oaken chests that were open nd empty, two large casks in a corner that are nasty smelling, the skeleton of a horse, and now everything seems moldy, and the place was raided. There is a small door on the other side that they open. A trap triggers from the other side as they do and an Axe flies out and hits (no damage) to the elemental that opened it.
On the far side of the room is another axe and its glowing in the center of the room. It suddenly fires off a Web spell on everyone at the door. Alzar, with his Ring of Free Action, moves through the Web and another is fired, but he grabs the axe and it stops. It’s just a +2 battle axe.
The Star reveals a secret door and then open it up. In the wall is a carved bas-relief of armored men on horseback hacking and slashing at each other in battle. In front is the Baron Elktazar with a battle axe in triumph, over the falling enemies.
