<div align="center"><strong>GM ANNOUNCEMENT<br/><br/>Downtime In the Ruins</strong></div><br/>The small remaining contingent of goblin forces have all secreted themselves away behind a door that apparently leads to a large room located at the top of the ruins.  As such, the Emerald Spire Conquistadors have taken control of a mess hall.<br/><br/>The emerald spire in the center of the ruins is currently inaccessible.  You cannot go up or down just quite yet.  If you go down, you will go to the next level, and if you go up, you will enter into a boss fight.<br/><br/>(http://i.imgur.com/2kyWN09.jpg)<br/><br/>The mess hall had two tables with benches scattered about.  There was decaying food of an indescribable nature atop of the tables.  In the southern end of the chamber, doors exit to the east and west.<br/><br/>This room has been cleansed by numerous prestidigitation spells, and is presently illuminated by various torches along the walls and a worn candelabra.<br/><br/>This is where the Emerald Spire Conquistadors gathered after ransacking the ruins, and are now breaking bread with one another, preparing for their battle with the "bosses," as the goblin calls them.<br/><br/><strong>RULES FOR THIS PART OF THE GAME</strong>:<br/><br/>-- You may post as much or as little as you'd like when discussing matters/playing with one another.<br/><br/>-- Each player is entitled to three actions.  These three actions are limited to: searching a 30 x 30 square foot area, interrogating the goblin with a single question, and healing yourselves/buffing yourselves.  These actions do NOT have to happen at the same time in a post.  Just to clarify: although technically a cleric will have to heal you, the healing does not take away an action for the cleric/healer, just the person being healed.<br/><br/>-- The goblin, Sankilp, is decent enough, but he's not very intelligent, so communicating with him can be rather tedious.  This is why getting him to answer a question is equal to an intense search in a large area.<br/><br/>--<strong>THIS FREE-FORM SESSION WILL LAST UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY.</strong>Please interact with one another and complete any scenes before then.
