"It's moving... what is that?"
Marl puts his hand out towards the runes (but not stepping any closer or actually trying to touch them). Is the cold feeling coming from the wall?
It indeed seems to be.
Vanadan moves within arm's reach of the wall without hesitation. "Fascinating..." the elf mutters as he runs his fingers over the runes trying to uncover their meaning.
[ooc: Decipher Script +8]
You quickly figure out that these are arcane glyphs of warding. Intermixed with the runes are auran and aqual characters representing two languages of the elementals, though you can't decipher what they say. You do, however, identify the characters for "ring" and "binding."
In touching the runes you feel a freezing chill and the skin that touches these is quickly afflicted with minor frostbite. The runes are incredibly cold, and are quickly cooling down the air around them. The canvas seems to slightly limit the cold to the rest of the room. This cold, however, does not reach very deep into the cavern. The firey lake provides more than enough heat to counteract this chill. You can surmise, however, that if the rest of the runes were uncovered and proved equally cold, the temperature in this room would drop very quickly.
Jagos looks between Vanadan and the initiate, asking both, "you know what that means?"
The initiate states her opinion on the matter. "These are symbols of air and water and ice. The creature Zigriss wishes to free is an elemental of fire. These are old... very old. Perhaps as old as the mountain? Perhaps these are symbols of impisonment for whatever creature is here?"
The initiate hushes after this, and turns to look towards the lake.
Grog shivers slightly and slowly scans the area nearby. He does not stray very far from the Servant of Seto.
Grog, as your eyes follow the servant you notice something. The zombies movements, while slow at first, are now almost sluggish.
