[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 6142694, member: 16069"] [CENTER][SIZE="5"]KOTS Part 13a: That’s odd.[/SIZE][/CENTER] “That’s odd.” Tonka states and straightens, the dragonborn a moment earlier was crouched before one of the two altars in the decrepit chamber- the smashed remains of the skeletons litter the floor. “What’s odd?” Sigur harrumphs. “It says…” Tonka reads aloud the text carved in to the altar, “…the Platinum Dragon is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. He is my stronghold, my refuge, and my armour against the foes of life—I need only kneel and offer him my praise.” Tonka scratches his chin, if only to emphasise the oddness. “So what?” Sigur offers in response, clearly uninterested, Jimmy comes over to take a look at the altar. Tonka looks a little peeved, “you don’t think it’s odd then? Fighting undead creatures in a catacomb that is clearly dedicated to Bahamut, the place may be old and rotten but it has not been desecrated, I can feel it…” Tonka looks about the chamber again, and then continues. “I don’t think the goblins come here- I don’t think they’ve ever been here, or else if they’ve tried they’ve been repulsed; the creatures we fought- the skeletons, I think they too were dedicated to the platinum dragon, in some fashion.” Sigur’s finally hooked- the surly dwarf wanders over. “That’s…”, Sigur’s got nowhere else to go with the statement, “… odd.” He finishes. Tonka nods back, and then looks down at Jimmy- the halfling is doing a grand tour of the altar; prodding, pushing, poking. “Anything?” Tonka asks. “A minute.” Jimmy continues his searching. Ramm and Gokan stand at the T-junction, on look-out, just in case anything should approach from the rear. “Got it.” Jimmy grins, a moment later there’s an audible click, a side panel on the altar hinges open, the halfling delves in to the newly revealed compartment. “Oh yes!” Jimmy holds in his hands a beautifully made statuette of a dragon, the thing shines, “a dragon.” Jimmy adds. “The dragon.” Tonka counters, and then adds, “the lord Bahamut- the statuette is of THE platinum dragon- Bahamut.” Jimmy hands it over, even Sigur’s interested now; Gokan and Ramm wander back towards the action. “Is it magical?” Sigur asks, the dwarf suddenly gets a funny look in his eye- he bustles off at speed, straight to the other altar. Jimmy and Tonka are not paying any attention to Sigur, the pair admire the craftsmanship. “It must be worth a mint.” Jimmy remarks. Tonka looks put out- “this is holy, we can’t sell it. I will return it to the temple in Fallcrest, it will serve as a beacon to the people, drawing them closer to the one, the true divinity- Bahamut, who is lord and master.” Jimmy looks crestfallen, Tonka notices. “Don’t fret Jimmy, there will be other treasures for us to find- this however…” Tonka holds the statuette up, torchlight glitters on each of the dragon’s scales. Jimmy, Gokan and Ramm admire that statuette, mesmerised for a moment. “This is a sign Jimmy- a sign to us all, we’re on the right path Jimmy, we’ve suffered on the way but our cause is true. We will succeed, we will get to the bottom of this mystery, and we will right the wrongs that happened here. I am sure of it- and the Bahamut dragon declares it with this gift- my Lord wanted us to find it. It is…” Tonka struggles for the right word. Jimmy, Gokan and Ramm remain entranced. “It is… Unique!” Tonka declares and holds the beautiful statuette aloft. “That’s odd.” Sigur states and straightens, the dwarf a moment earlier was crouched before the other altar in the decrepit chamber- the smashed remains of the skeletons, still, litter the floor. “What’s odd?” Tonka harrumphs. “You said unique.” Sigur grins and lifts up the second statuette, which is of course identical to the first; both are exquisite depictions of Bahamut, the platinum dragon. “I…” is about as far as Tonka gets. “No, don’t worry- you can keep yours- it’s a sign after all, I’ll be selling mine though.” Sigur grins at Tonka, it’s the kind of grin that starts fights. “You miserable old…” Tonka wonders where to go with the insult, but not for long- “bastard.” Sigur’s grin spreads a little wider. At that moment the double doors to the east creek open, that’s the doors that the adventurers have -up until this point - paid no attention to… All eyes turn to see. Standing in the shadows in the doorway is a seven foot tall skeletal knight, wearing heavy armour including a full helm- an eerie red light lances out like a beam from the great helm’s eye slit. The skeleton knight wields a wicked looking longsword in one-hand; its other hand is obscured by a smouldering wisp of dark energy.
