Touch AC is 8 - but you get +2 for flanking and another +1 for the masterwork weapon bonus. Don't forget the bonus cold damage.

Lynette too lunges forwards with her sword and to the groups surprise the ogre quickly topples over under their combined attack. It does not seem malnourished or sick but does bear recent scars of what appears to have been a wolf attack - Vadania quickly scans the surrounding area thinking back to the shadow wolves they had encountered when last passing through the woodland near here.
While Vadania and Ylva stand watch Garrot and Lynette find that one of the wagons is salvageable. The ogres also carry 47gp in mixed coins between them but little else of real worth.

Vadania asks them to look for crowbars, or anything that could be used as one. Maybe we can open that back panel in the device tomorrow.

The group dig around in the debris for a metal lever, though several are found there is no gap behind the door to find purchase for them. With more consideration Garrot instead ties rope to the front of the hatch and organises the group to try and pull against it.
At first the hatch doesn't budge but then with a loud crack and a plume of stale smoke the rust gives way and the door flies open. It takes some time for the smoke to clear, when the group can finally peer beyond they find an unlit room with hazy boundaries and smashed furniture - it reminds Vadania and Garrot a little of Altars rope trick.

Garrot looks at Vadania and Lynette and says "Shall we?" pointing at the door.

"This is amazing," comments Vadania. "I wonder why the furniture is all smashed? Let's see if we can salvage some."

The room, if it could be called that, still stinks of an acrid smoke that burns the eyes. The source appears to be a charred and blasted work surface with shards of glass and metal scattered all around. It is clear that a fire raged through here and much of what was flammable is now gone but a blackened chest is still intact at the side of the room.
As Garrot approaches however he feels his foot begin to sink through the ground and hastily pulls back. Perhaps a trap, or perhaps the magic of the room had become unstable following the explosion and the passage of time.

Garrot will examine the "soft" spot closely and look for a trap:

Vadania will unsling her rarely used club and offer it to Garrot, "Here, you can use this to probe the floor in front of you."

The strange magic of the ground baffles Garrot, sometimes solid and sometimes not. Using debris he is able to mark out the boundaries of what he considers to be 'safe' ground.

After marking the supposed safe area, Garrot will attempt to navigate around the "soft spot" and investigate the chest.
Balance: QGi0Y_JFp_1-20 +9=12
Search (chest, if he makes it): p_1-20 +9=161-20�1-20

Garrot pokes his way forward, following a winding path of solid ground until suddenly the floor goes soft beneath his feet. Scrambling back the ground is alternately soft or firm beneath his hands and feet and for a moment he fears he will fall through entirely but Vadania and Lynette are on hand quickly to pull him to more solid ground.
Looking at his hands he finds them cut and burnt from where they slipped into the floor (4 damage) - the magic here is clearly dangerous and unstable.

Garrot shakes his head and says to the ladies and holds up his hands and says ""ouch". "Any ideas ladies?"
How far is the chest from Garrot?

How far is the chest from Garrot? Not far, only about 15 feet.

Vadania asks, "Lynette, can you make small objects float though the air?"

She shakes her head, "nothing that heavy, and if we pull it along the ground it might sink like Garrot did."

Vadania puts her finger to her lips as she thinks. After a moment she says, "So the floor is full of soft spots and the move around. How big are the soft spots? We might be able to cover the floor with boards or branches that at bigger than the soft spots so that they are held up by the firm part, giving you someplace to stand. "

Garrot scratches his head and says "I suppose someone could throw me at it with a rope tied around my waist". He then grins foolishly.
