Kazzagin gave the dark a tentative look and then strode forward into the ruined gatehouse. He took position in front of the rubble before turning around to face Mardred. "You be looking. Finding a way to be turning the chant off. Though not be turning it off. It may be a defense." He then turned to look more closely at the statues, more out of curiousity than anything else. Perhaps they bore some religious significance or perhaps he recognised the strange chant.
OOC: Religion Check.
The place already unnerved him and he'd only arrived here now. What possible significance could these statues hold. Either a defense or perhaps a lure. If the Lost Hold of Tannheim had been wiped out in one day, what purpose would leaving the statues on serve? He shuddered inside his plate armor, hoisting his shield higher on his arm, while resting the battleaxe head on the rubble in front of him. "This be strange," he muttered to himself.
Hmm... there's something about the chanting, the muffled sounds, and yet difficult to tell with the sound no more than a drone. That said Kazz is reminded of religious rites and passages, there's something to it, and yet with the sound so corrupted...
But wait, Kazz has heard of this kind of thing before- not an alarm system but a warning to those that would approach, or else a reminder to those that would defend. Kazz wouldn't be surprised if the statues were indeed religious in purpose, that there chants would serve to mark out the territory of the Tannheim within the Underdark, and at the same time provide spiritual succour to the original defenders within the gatehouse. Kazz doubts the statues would have off and on switches- like the stone itself their words would mark this place forever.
The Gaffer did say the Tannheim were 'strange', perhaps they were also very spiritual...
Oh and so far only one statue has been examined... | |||||
