"I'm more interested in having enough coin to pay for supper," Kinzie remarks. "No offence, father, but we're not in a position to be giving charity right now."

Teddy nods.

The abbot considers for a second. "We're a bit short of disposable magic books; but I'll pay 20 gold for each of the barrels you recover. And you can keep whatever else you find, so long as it wasn't one of our valuables to begin with. If you find something like that, I'll pay a reward for it too."

"That sounds fair, Father," Kinzie replies without looking at him, as she is busy digging through her bag. "I'm sure we'll be able to recover your wine." She finally emerges with a crude-looking tube, which she flourishes with an "aha"! "Here's the torch. Okay boys, let's go find some wine."

"Indeed." agrees Cloverleaf. He heads off to the wine cellar with Kinzie. He's unsure whether to expect the torch to work or not; but he moves forward with the confidence of someone who knows that even if it doesn't, he's quite capable of casting his own light.

Father Smith nods. "The gods go with you then." He glances to the side: "Brother Lake?"

A short, wiry looking half elf steps forward. "Of course, Father. Follow me, please." With that, he opens the door and leads the three of you into the hill. Down a short ramp is the cellar itself; a stone vault some 15 feet wide and forty feet long which has three rows of barrels stacked up on guides. Or rather, two and a half rows; one of them is half empty, and the wall has an opening about six feet high and four feet wide near the back where the barrels aren't. Dirt was tracked in rather freely, but the most of the stone from the wall was neatly stacked to the side, and some of the stones were rearranged with a few wedges to form an arch to hold up the wall over the hole. Brother Lake points to that. "Whoever they are, they're skilled masons. I didn't want to say this in front of some of my brothers and sisters, but I suspect dwarves were involved."

"I very much doubt that they were all dwarves." murmurs Cloverleaf. "In general, dwarves seem to be quite comfortable with a five foot ceiling - a six-foot tunnel suggests someone taller may have been involved."

He looks around for any signs of magic in the area.

Teddy takes a look around, before trying to heft one of the barrels that were left to see how much it weighed.

Kinzie heads into the tunnel, flipping on her torch and praying that it works.

Cloverleaf detects an enchantment on the entire chamber. It's not terribly strong, and was probably put there by the monks. As for what it is, he's not sure; quickly analyzing magic is a trick he hasn't learned yet.

Teddy lifts a barrel; he thinks it's about 450 pounds. It's also within speaking distance of being all he can carry at any given time.

Kinzie activates her torch. It does light up. The light isn't steady, but it's there. The tunnel she sees is indeed dirt with an occasional stone buttress, and it slopes down.

"You've got some sort of enchantment on this chamber?" Cloverleaf asks Brother Lake. He notices Teddy actually managing to lift one of the barrels, and is terribly impressed.

Kinzie wanders down the tunnel, carefully checking to make sure the braces are secure and there are otherwise no traps and tripfalls set up to foil pursuers.

Teddy grunts and replaces the barrel, wiping his hands on his pants.


"Huh."

He follows Kinzie a little so as to keep both her and Cloverleaf in sight.

Brother Lake nods. "It's to keep fires from spreading down here."

Kinzie doesn't see anything untoward for a little while, but then the tunnel ends in what appears to be a solid slab of stone.

Teddy rather bends over, but follows into the tunnel.

"Ah, yes, I see." Cloverleaf nods. He glances around the room again... the stone walls, the stone floor... "Have you had a lot of fires down here?"
