[QUOTE="Dantardis, post: 3129915, member: 46174"] Retaract and Advale lit thie torches and looked around the entrance to the Cairn. Meanwhile Raymond could hear a strange whistling, whispering sound. "Listen, what's that?", he said. The rest of the group listened to the sounds too. "This must be where the Whispering Cairn gets it's name from.", answered T'cral. Looking to their right the group could see a lair where the wolves appeared to have lived. In one corner they could see the badly mauled body of a child. "When we leave this place, we must take the body of this innocent with us. It is the Will of Oiden!", said Retaract, tears filling the corners of his eyes. The rest of the party agreed and in sombre silence they headed to the left where a passage led into the darkness. The left hand passage seemed to end in a dead end. In once corner was what appeared to be the wooden frame of a large, broken mirror. This frame was covered in some kind of runes which no one could read. In addition the frame appeared to be bolted to the floor and despite constant tugging from Raymond, in particular did not allow any form of movement. Meanwhile T'cral and Advale had noticed that there appeared to be a greenish glow coming from up ahead. "Let's have a look at this", said T'cral. "This looks interesting." Following the light, the party found themselves in a large chamber where the stone sarcophagus of a long dead noble appeared to sit. No one in the body appeared to recocognise the image and they fell to examining the sarcophagus itself. Finding no way to easily open it and having managed to avoid the trap in the lid, Raymond slumped back against the sarcophagus in exasperation and it moved.... "Let's try and see how this thing moves", said Advale. The group found that they could move the sarcophagus to various other coloured lanterns. They first tried the purple lantern and some kind of metal tube appeared. Raymond moved towards it to examine it. "Be careful", said T'cral. "It could be a trap." As if to prove his words some kind of doors opened on the tube and a long dead crushed body fell out. "I'm guessing that;s not the way to go", said Raymond. "What", he said as the remainder of the party looked at him in disgust. The group then moved the sarcophagus towards the green lantern, and another tube appeared. The group eyed it warily as the doors slid open, seeing some kind of mass within. Only Advale, standing in the front of the group, realised what it was, "Look out. it's some kind of swarm." Just as he said this the swarm moved forwards and engulfed him. With a great roar Raymond swung his mighty axe and managed to kill 2 of the beetles. "That's great" scoffed T'cral, "but we need to try to take out the swarm as a whole." Lighting their lanterns, T'cral and Retaract threw their torches into the mass of the swarm, setting some of it alight. To follow this up Raymond flew a vial of alchemist's fire onto the torches and the whole swarm blazed merrily. Unfortunately as part of the swarm had been on Advale he took some fire damage too, in fact he took rather a lot of fire damage and he fell unconscious. Fortunately Retaract was on hand and healed him until he was conscious again. [/QUOTE]
