October 20

It's the morning of October 20th. You are scheduled to meet G'ruk on the morning of the 21st. Are you proceeding back underground? If so, where & by what route? Explored part of the map attached.

Ooc: Manzanita i’ve noticed there is a door to the west on your map. I’m talking about the room where there is an exit to the east (going into G’ruks’ chamber) as well.

Did I just never notice this or did we just discover this recently? If so, Dhormium would suggest opening this door to further explore the tunnels and leave the long tunnel towards the water creature for the other day.



~Dhormium walks over to Brioc discussing his idea about the door to the west~

“…Maybe that’s where we could find something about Tullius’ roman archaeologist, Matriculus. And if we don’t, it will be another nice venture into these tunnels and we have the opportunity to make sure we are now hopefully alone here.”

~Rather then waiting for an answer the dwarf claims superiority and leadership when they are underground and steps forward, though with a little hint of dread in his step. Before him lies the sleeping chamber of hundreds and hundreds of bats, and their waste, he still didn’t get all of the mess of his boots since the last time he went through. The other way, through the secret passage way would have been easier, but Marcus did something with the mechanism, clever, Marcus, very clever. And a possible meeting with G’ruk, a day to soon, is also less preferable to walking through the guano.

And thus, the dwarf marches on, towards the guano~

"That seems like a sounds idea." Brioc agrees with Dhormium. "Lead the way, friend Dhormium, for your instincts are better than mine when it comes to caverns and tunnels."

He follows close behinds the dwarven priest, listening hard for any sounds not coming from himself or his companions.

Thanks for getting things going, Krilith...G'ruk had earlier indicated that beyond that door was their centipede hunting ground...

The group again tromps through the deep bat guano, the poor dwarf almost up to his knees. The smell seems worse than ever, perhaps due to the recent tromping, which seems even more than last time you were here. The door, when you get there is cracked and scuttling sounds are evident behind it, although you can't see through the crack.

Marcus pauses at the entrance to the guano cavern.

"I'm not wading through that stinking slop without good reason," he mutters under his breath.

He steps to the side to allow any of the others to pass and holds up the lantern so that Brioc has something to see by.

"A moment please", Ehldannis holds up his hand. He quickly performs an incantation which leaves his skin bearing a metallic sheen. [casts Mage Armour]

"I believe the stink may be the least of our concerns."

Octar gives a remarkable display of Roman stoicism as they wade through the muck, his sword and shield at the ready. He does his best to hold his breath, or failing that, to breath little and through his mouth.

Marcus watches his companions stoically wade through the muck.

Anyone looking back might catch the slow shake of his head.

Probably they would be more likely to see him put the lantern down and load up the crossbow, before picking up the lantern in his his left hand again, the now loaded crossbow in his right.

But they would not see him make any movement into the :):):):)ty cavern.

~Dhormium shifts uneasy on his feet, and reaches for the door to open it~
”Are you ready? Here goes”

~Dhormium, leans towards the door and listens carefully for a moment, and then opens the door with his shield arm, reading his axe for, well just anything. With a slow tug he opens the door and peers into the darkness but seeing everything with his dwarven sight.~

Centipede Chapel

This room is not full of bat guano. It contains a pile of rubble that appears to have once been a winged robed, female figure. Crawling about the room are about 20 bright red centipedes, two to three feet long. The walls are cracked, but there appear to be no other exits.

When Dhormium opens the door, the centipedes starts crawling swiftly for him. They are scattered about the room. Surprise initiative with party.
