Osira When you are lowered down into the darkness, an uneasy feeling sets into you of the unknown. When your feet touch the ground, you notice the floor feels soft underfoot. Using what little light you can from above, you feel that the ground is actually a soft sand. You pitter patter your feet, staying in one place, as you wait for your party to join you down here.
Ezra,Vorin,Xiari When you all are finally at the bottom of the pit, with the rest of your party, the first thing you notice is that you stand in a room that is 40 by 40 feet with one exit on the west wall that leads south for 40 feet before curving to the west. The rooms floor is covered in a thin layer of sand. You also see that dented, rusty shields adorn the walls, which are covered in graffiti.

Humming as she goes, Osira will skip around the edge of the room to try reading the graffiti. As the light fades further, she unhooks the lantern from the side of her backpack and sets it on the ground. Rummaging around in her pack, she pulls out a tinderbox and fusses with the lantern until it's lit. Tucking everything away again, Osira continues her circuit around the room.

Osira Lighting your lantern, you can now see the extent of the room, 40 by 40 feet, with one exit on the west wall that heads south. You now see there are dozens of shields that line the wall. Most of them are covered in crude graffiti. Taking the time to count them, you can see that there are 60 shields on the north, south, and east walls. You also notice the sand and can see it is only a thin layer. Some of the sand seems to have some items bulging underneath.

As the others get their bearings, Osira will start lightly blowing on the sand to uncover whatever is beneath. She calls out "Here! Here! Here!" each time she finds something.

As Osira starts to uncover the sand, items start to appear. Among the items found are two iron spikes, an empty wineskin, a tinderbox, a pair of pants sized for an adult human, and most surprisingly, a large scale that belonged to some sort of creature.

"Hey! Does anyone want this stuff?"

"An extra tinder box and water skin is probably a smart move. I will put them in the bag of holding. Do you know what kind of scale that is? Should we take the spikes or pants?"

"There's a naked, invisible person in this room. We should definitely take their pants. Who knows what they're going to do with those spikes; let's take 'em too."

Ezra chuckles then scans the room for naked invisible people. When he finishes, he puts the rest of the items in the Bag of Holding.

Ezra You take the time to investigate the room for any invisible people down here with you. Searching the room and no farther than the exit, you find no invisible men.

"I think we are alone, Osira. Any luck with that scale? Do you know what it once belonged to?"

Vorin having now descended gives a whistle, flame then begins to burn in his left hand lighting the space slong with the torch. (Produce flame: Cantrip) "you know most of what is here has been picked through, we should begin our trek." Vorin begins edging his way to the west exit.

Osira silently holds out the large scale to Vorin.

Ezra,Vorin In a moment where the group fall quiet, you both notice the muffled sound of retreating footsteps, seemingly coming from the north wall. The sound is very faint and only lasts for a moment.

"Hold it!" Vorin says in a hushed tone. "I hear something heading North. You may have been right." Vorin draws his spear into his other hand. He keeps the flame high as not to obscure anyone's vision.

"He is right. But it came from the... wall? Behind it maybe. Maybe there is a door hidden on the north wall?"

"Of course I'm right!" Osira stage whispers back, shaking the scale at Vorin. She makes her way to the northern wall, dropping her lantern off in the middle of the room as she passes it. As Osira continues forward, she scoops up a handful of sand and starts looking for recent footprints.

Seeing Osira scan the ground, Vorin begins to do the same he adjusts the light in an attempt to cast shadows of any possible footprints. He edges towards where he thinks the source of the noise was located.

Osira Looking over the sand, you do notice footprints. Following them, they edge around the room and you make a full lap of the room before realising, they are your own footprints from where you skipped around.
Vorin You do not notice any footprints except those of your party. However, you move closer to the north wall and start to examine the wall. At a height of 5 feet, you notice a 1-inch-diameter hole bored into the wall between two shields that hang on the wall.

"It's a flying, naked, invisible person..." Osira chucks her handful of sand into the air and holds out the scale to Vorin once more.
