"Then I would have gone back and gone seventeen steps, and pulloed your hair for good measure." Karolus grins, briefly.
"Yeah, we'd better make sure the scouts are the most useful at that position, but I don't want them getting too far out of reach. And, I don't want Karissa here going back to town crowing about how much deeper she went into the cairn than I did."

Tac Abor, human rogue

"Trust me, I don't like fighting. The last thing I want is to face down some beastie all by myself. I just figured I'd walk ahead far enough to make sure no one stepped on any obvious weak points or tripped over the wrong thing," Tac says. "If there's anything down there that needs a beating, I'm more than happy to let you folks take the lead."

"Sounds good. We need at least tw0 light sources. One for our 'scout' here and for the main group. Fortunately I have prayed for an illumination spell this morning and have some sunrods. Anyone else has a torch or something like that? Maybe wee will need multiple ropes, too, if we have decent through a hole or something." Dorian starts an equipment discussion.

Karolus nods towards his pack. "I've got a hand or so of torches in there - the oily rag variety, not the magical kind. I thought I was short on cash when I started outfitting for this jaunt, so I bought the cheap kind. Then, at the last moment I came into a whole pile of gold, but I decided to keep the torches and spend most of my new wealth on things to hit and shoot people with." at that, Karolus indicates the great sword, great club and cross bow leaning against the wall near his pack.

With a tremendous yawn, the big man stretches out over the back of his chair. He suddenly occupies a considerable amount of the horizontal area of the cabin. Straightening, he runs his large hands through his messy red hair, rubs his green eyes and then scratches the coppery stubble on his chin.

"I think I'm off to bed. The sooner we're asleep, the sooner we're awake and at the cairn. I aim to make this a simple in-and-out - we go in, kill the monster and take it's treasure. Evil prophecy averted and we're all heroes."

"I never thought about bringing a torch, but I have rope a'plenty. I surely hope things will be as easy as you make it sound Karolus. If not, at least we can take comfort in the knowledge that you'll die first.

Karissa yawns and stands up.

It seems we're all on the same page about how to deal with this job. Carefull as cats, and ready with a bucket of pain should we need it. I'll hit the sack if noone has any more concerns they'd like to air."

"I have neither rope nor torches, but I brought some holy water, just in case. I will now rest as well. See you in the morrow". With those words Adalwulf sets off to get some sleep.

In the morning the new companions have a hearty breakfast and a little comradery, before setting off for the cairn sight.

It takes about an hour on foot to reach the alien like structure set into one of the many hills about the aptly named, Cairn Hills.

The group readies itself before entering the unknown.

Natural light dimly illuminates a long hallway extending north into darkness. A faint breeze brings with it sibilant whispers that sound almost like sighing breath. It must be a trick of the wind, but the effect is almost lifelike.

The walls bear horizontal bands of deceptively simple geometric patterns at waist level. In places the bands reveal startling detail, but in others the wall looks hacked apart with weapons or eroded by th erigors of time. Flakes of ancient paint, brilliant purple and a dull mustard hue, still cling to the walls in places, hinting at what must once have been a riot of color. A thin coat of dust coats the floor.

Just inside the darkened tomb the hallway branches into shallow alcoves to east and west. Here the walls bear more significant damage. Dozens of clumsy etchings mar the beautiful ancient masonry like graffiti on a city wall. A clump of soiled cloth about the soze of a halfling rests in the rounded terminus of the western alcove.

Outside the wind picks up, and a chorus of almost human sounds rise from the darkened hall.
