Lifting it up on an instinct shows a symbol that quickly disappears.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spellcraft DC 18</div><div class="spoiler_body">That was an explosive runes ward!</div></div><br/>Seems this was the place.. lucky Taris checked things out first, rather than one of the guards..<br/>Peering into the mine shaft it was.. well it seemed well intact, even if dirty.<br/><br/>The firefly complained against it's abuse by buzzing out and, light drained off of it, flew to freedom.<br/>Each guardsman recieved their glow-stone, Whilest Xara gave the elf a<em>look</em>at recieving a special stone.<br/>"This thing is kinda distracting.." She complained a bit before getting used to the light swirling around her head. "Heh. Clank less..." A guard shrugged.<br/>"Sounds like a good plan, mylady" Xara agreed, waiting for Taris to step in first.<br/><br/>Xara moves into the dark of the tunnel, the sparse light from her companions enough to illuminate the path. The main path of the mine seems to go lower and down, but that's not what catches her attention, there, hidden behind a brown cloth is an obvious source of light in a side-room, most likely a place the miners used to rest at or somesuch.<br/>Taris can push the cloth aside and take a look in, without being noticed.<br/><br/>Inside, there is a rather brutal looking man (https://i.pinimg.com/474x/b8/b8/ab/b8b8aba0aff8a2f62ff9b6be60ff3c34--character-concept-character-art.jpg), sitting on one bed, with a total of five beds around. In the light of a small oil lamp he's currently reading in a book. He hasn't noticed Taris yet.<br/><br/>The next round, your companions will arrive, clankedy clank style.
