Entry Cavern

[Man in Black]

The group returns the way it came with no difficulties. The skulk leader seems excited to see everyone return. "Thank you. You can come and go as you please, and we not tell purple hair lady." She hands the group a small bag that contains 49 silverdisks and 5 cards made of an odd material and even stranger symbols imprinted on them. "Purple hair lady ask for these. They must be valuable."

[Reawyn]

"We have not heard of this purple hair lady before. Can you tell us more about her?  Where is she so we can avoid her? What makes your people afraid of her, as you are a great people not to be trifled with."

[Man in Black]

"No, purple hair lady paid our old leader to kill anyone else that came through. She pay well, but the magic man and his men killed our people, our leader, and stole our payment."

[Eva Morningtide]

Where is now that magic man? (OOC - What do we know about him? Is he the lost member of council?)

Eva examines discs, cards and symbols. What does she know about them? (k.arcane:7,k.planes:3,craft mechanical:7(?),Numerian Archaeologist(?), Languages:Hallit,Androffan,Draconic,Dwarven,Orc)

[Reawyn]

"We are looking for this magic man, to take him where you will never see him again, did he venture beyond that door? or the barrier in the gremlins lair?"

[Chrome Veneer]

Chrome similarly seems interested in the discs and cards, investigating them beside Eva. He lets Reawyn continue his dialogue without interjecting, since he seems to have a handle on speaking to the skulks well enough.

[Man in Black]

(Eva, you can only assume 'magic man' refers to the councilman.  Silverdisks are just coins.  The cards appear to be some kind of identifiers.  The writing is Androffan.  The unfamiliar words could be names.)

Sef points back towards the Southeast corner.  "They went through that door."

(Everyone add 160 xp to your totals)

[Reawyn]

"Our thanks, Sef."

Reawyn crosses the cavern and begins to examin the door.

[Perception: trapfinding +5 (+9 if my draught is still in effect, which i doubt)]]

[Man in Black]

The circular doorway in the strange metallic wall is already opened, likely by Khonnir and his crew. Inside the door is a completely different environment.

The walls, floor and ceiling of this slightly curved hallway are made of smooth dark gray metal. Panels of lighter material run along the ceiling eight feet above. To the north and south the tunnel is blocked by walls of metal junk and rubble, while open doorways yawn to the east and west.

[Eva Morningtide]

Eva memorizes the names on cards maybe we will see them later again. She follows Reawyn.
Can we determine how was the door opened? For example, with a card?
