He steps back enough to give others a look if they wish. "It's a dimly lit room, with what looks like a table along one wall."

With Terek's superior vision he is able to tell that the table is actually a bed.

The torch raises the level of light near the door, but the room is too large for it to have any greater effect.

He steps cautiously into the room, eyes scanning the walls, watching for threats.

As the door fully opens, the extent of the room is revealed.

[spoiler]70x65[/spoiler]

There are six beds in all, each with a backpack on it. In the middle of the room is armor stands and weapon racks. On the far wall there is an actual table, with what appears to be a small feast, and more beer than could possibly be consumed in one sitting.

The room itself appears to be of better workmanship than the small room you are exiting from. With two iron doors, in opposite corners, as the only other visible exits.

As each of you crosses the threshold, the runes flare, causing another orb to glow.

[spoiler]He took one from the wall of the room.[/spoiler]

Terek's eyes widen.  He walks cautiously to the table, sniffs the food, and (assuming it smells fine), sits down to eat and drink.  He'll only have about two beers, as he doesn't want to actually get drunk.

"Dis ain't half bad!  Last meal fer da convicted, huh?  Well, hopefully it won't be our last, right?"

Galon goes over to the backpacks on the beds, opening and sifting through its contents
"think this stuff is ours, or do we get a free starter kit?"
there is roughly a 99% chance that this post is an obscure reference to SOMETHING.

We should probably save what we can of this for later.  Who knows when we'll see food like this next.

Chauser checks for his equipment, then eats sparingly from the most perishable bits of the feast.

You are able to find your gear in short order. As far as you can tell nothing is missing, everything has been cleaned and repaired though.

Terek immodestly changes out of the rags into his black clothes and armor.

"You guys tink we should take watches?  I dunno if we get a free night or not.  Can't be too careful, eh?

I'll take first watch, if we need."

The first thing he does is change out of his rags and back into his familar explorer's outfit and scale mail before ensuring that everything in his backpack is still there. He pulls a chair at the table and begins eating, choosing beef, potatos, carrots and a decent bit of bread while only having a single pint of ale.

Dalanath changes into his robe, pulling the hood up.  His psicrystal skitters along his shoulder and hides under the hood out of sight.  He eats sparingly, then goes to a bed and goes to sleep all without saying a word to anyone.

I suppose that puts me on first watch.

Chauser changes into his explorer's outfit, and sits where he can watch the exits.  He pulls a prong off one of his caltrops and idly stitches on some of the leftover rags, remaking them into a stylish fez.

[spoiler]Price of a fez is 1 sp (AEG).  It should be about DC 10 or so (as a piece of armor with AC bonus of 0).  I have +5 from int, -2 from improvised tools, +1 for inspiration.  Take 10 for 13, which multiplied by the DC is 130 copper worth of work for a full day (or about 16 copper an hour. I'm not working at nearly full speed, so I can probably stretch this from under 40 minute to a full watch shift without reducing my vigilance.[/spoiler]

Once finished with his meal, he walks over to the bed his backpack was on and proceeds to take off his scale mail. His armor and back pack were place upon the floor at the foot of the bed before he laid down shutting his eyes with a..

" See y'all in the mornin' "

When Frank exits the first room, it suddenly goes dark. The room you are now staying in is uneffected.

Using choice bits of the rags, you are able to make a fez, but you lack the materials for a tassel.
