Romar -
The cold creature stops when you question it about its past. For a moment, you think it may be that the creature does not know who it was...that the gods that placed the punishment on this poor creature erased its mind...but no, you remember the words it first spoke to you.
It must know its past.
The creature turns from you, giving you a good view of its back, right near the left shoulderblade. There, twisted , contorted and emblazoned into the leathery hide is a tattoo...or what used to be one. It's hard to make out, but as the creature moves its arm up and down you can see that the tattoo was of a lion...a great and regal lion carrying a rider with a flag. On this flag was a....
It hits you instantly.
Duke Travis Gramble in Carealal bore the exact same tattoo. It was a family mark, all the Gramble men had the tattoo engraved on their skin on their fifteenth birthday--it was a ritual of passage.
This creature was once the leader of your home city - Carealal.
The creature turns back to face you, eyes emotionless as it speaks horrid volumes.
"I told you who I was would be important to you Romar...it was my greed and selfishness that caused the fall of Carealal. I practically invited 'The Master' into the city walls."
"Not like it matters now anyway...'the Master' would have come one way or another. I just benefitted from it for a short time..."
It turns away from you and continues digging.
"Now leave me be Romar...let me wallow in my misery."

Deciding to give this door a shot, Alton bravely steps forward and pulls the handle...
{You know what's funny, the search checks are almost moot since there isn't a single Rogue among you all. Alton is really the only one that has a chance of finding a trap with a DC higher than 20}
Once the seal of the door is broken, a loud thunder-like blast rages through the stone hallway accompanied by flame and ash. It blasts Alton first;
[REF Save @ +10]
[dice=20]
[Results = 25, Success]
The others;
Garor
[dice=20]
Galdren
[dice=20]
Krysta
[dice=20]
Adelia
[dice=20]
Yuri
[dice=20]
[Results = Bunch of Crappy rolls. You guys need to hit a DC of 18 to succeed in the save] The blast envelops everything, covering it in fire. The ball of fire rolls about forty feet or so to either side of the door, then dissipates into nothingness...
[Fireball Trap Damage = 49, 1/2 = 24]
As expected...once the door is open...the room beyond is nothing but empty stone...

The celebration is grand indeed, the walls and ramparts errupting in cheer. However, Sturmguard keeps a stern face and looks to a groupd of Ravenshead Clerics nearby.
"See to his needs. Give him all he needs."
Like the true king he is, Sturmguard remains focused on the task at hand.
"Resurrection you say? 'The Master' is powerful enough that I do not doubt he ability to return. What do you recommend we do next?"
The clerics go about assessing your needs, they will have you fixed in no time...but in the interim, the king has questions. [rand=71311298888155783746532716084381164587423790263311586533965766538]
