You run for your life as the corridor begins to crumble around you. Only Drugan, Melanthios and Varklud make it out unscathed as the tunnel collapses.
Charles got knocked by a falling rock [3 damage, reduced to 1 by tower shield], but is only a little dizzy. Poncho got knocked by several [5 damage], but can thank Melanthios that he did not get buried under them.
Alwyn lies half-buried under a pile of rubble, but is still breathing [7 damage]. Quinlan fared the worst and only by Varklud's help is he still breathing when you dig him out from under the rubble [9 damage, reduced to 8 by buckler].
The cold room is now half-collapsed and as you pause to recuperate you notice that the unnatural coldness is dissipating.
[All of you should have been unwounded before this, so you barely made it. You receive 55 EP each for defeating the wights, plus roll x lost CON for the SR (or just the roll if you succeeded).]

Ugh... Quinlan is gravely wounded and needs a day's rest to recover - or a trip to Moric's... It looks like he sustained as much damage as he did because he through his body over his hat to protect it. Fortunately it survived unscathed.

Melanthios: "It looks like we've defeated the wights. Let's quickly check out the eastern corridor and then head back to the tower."

Charles rubs the rising bump on his head and consider his battered comrades.
"Well that was effective...stupid but effective."
"Perhaps we should investigate the wight's chamber to see if any treasures have been exposed in the collapse. A few of us may then walk up the eastern passage if it is still clear to make sure it only leads to one of the locked doors. Those most injured may want to stay behind and out of harms way."
Charles re-enters the wight's formerly cold chamber and performs a cursory search to see if there are any obvious treasure caches that have been exposed as well as to see if the eastern passage is still accessible.

Verklud will accompany Charles in the survey of the wreckage.

The north half of the cold room has collapsed, as has the entire corridor leading north to the slime room.
As Charles moves about the wreckage with his torch. A glint of red between the boulders catches his eye. Moving aside the debris he uncovers a marble sized red and black opal. Encouraged by this find, Varklud soon stumbles across a slightly smaller cat's eye (chrysoberyl) and a large diamond.

Drugan will stay with he wounded in case something unpleasant rears it's head and needs a little magical dissuasion.

Charles picks up the red and black opal and happily whistles. He becomes more excited when Verklud finds a cats eye and a large diamond.
"Now this is more like it! Sure beats gill man table ware."
Charles will spend about 10 more minutes investigating the rubble for more shiny trinkets then suggests trying the passage east.

You find nothing more of value among the rubble and turn your attention to the eastern corridor down south. The corridor goes 60' from the intersection and ends in a metal door. Try as you might, you cannot get it to open.

Melanthios: "Let's head back to the tower with our wounded. It seems that this passage is only leading back to the statue room as we previously suspected it might."

Drugan nods in agreement.
"lets get our friends seen to, I'm afraid Quinlan may have creased his hat"

Quinlan: "...Drugan, if I should die, please ensure my hat gets the bulk of my estate..."
