HM's Age of Worms - IC

Aria nods, distractedly. "It might not have been natural...some kind of tomb guardian? I don't know. Anyway, it's gone now. Lets see what these things are."

She moves among the stone slabs in the room, looking them over. She suspects they're some kind of burial marker, but it would be nice to be sure.

OOC: Haakon and Alterius would be better for guard duty as you all can RP as you search the room.

"We'll watch the corridors Torgak. You should help the others in case your abilities are needed." Alterius says as he and Haakon move to take up positions.

Meanwhile the others search the nearly barren room. The statue provides no clues as to the red lanterns location or contains any secret compartments to hide it.

Aria searches the stone slabs but finds no markings, runes, or even scroll work. The eight man-sized slabs look good for nothing but sleeping on (and as tired as some of the group is they probably could at that).

OOC: Complete search of room but not of the body - any takers or do you leave it?

Zeke shrugs as he bends down to check the body, he whispers, "Pelor, grant your grace to the forgotten dead and may they find solace through you."

Torgak

Torgak returns to the room and steps next to Zeke. He tries to find something of interest at the stone slabs and the dead body.

Having run out of places to search, Gaylin decides that he is going to have to search the body. However, he is not sure that the pesky thing won't animate if he tries,so he warns the others to be ready and puts his greataxe where he can easily pick it up.

Once everyone is ready he searches the body.

The dead body stays quiet as Galyne looks him over.

He looks to have been some sort of guard or something as the studded leather he wears is painted red and has an eight pointed star on the chest. His sheathe lies empty, and possible held a short blade of some kind.

Having no backpack the corspe surely doesn't have the red lantern, but he does have one thing of interest. A silver ring adorns one of his bony fingers and looks like it may fetch a far price at market.

OOC: Only treasure in the room is the silver ring. Where to next?

Torgak

"I don't think he needs the ring anymore ... Let's have a look at the stairs and the water! Torgak says after baging the silver ring. If there are no other suggestions he will start to move slowly in the direction of the water filled stair case. He will keep an eye open for the hive and swarm while walking to the stairs.

"That beetle might have come from the big nest over there," Aria says warily. "We should be ready for when we head that way. There could be a lot more."

She follows Torgak without complaint though.

Zeke also follows Torgak, but keeps a keen eye out for trouble once Aria speaks.

The hallway leads to a set of stairs half underwater. By your light you see an archway near the bottom, but whatever rooms lie beyond must be totally submerged underwater.

[sblock=OOC] Everyone familiar with the rules for underwater combat?? :devil:

Just to keep everyone up to date as I know it has been a while since we started.

A- Your looking for the red lantern - as that will give you your level up as well as advance the AP.

B- The only places left to search for it are...
a) The bug room. (Room with beetle hive)
b) The submerged rooms.

So I guess it's time for the usual question: What do you do?[/sblock]
