[IC2] Pool of Radiance

[Thanee]

Once the lantern is lit, the two adventurers examine the close surroundings. They are still within corridors not unlike the one that led into the heart of the pyramid. They are in a corner, to their right, a corridor leads away, which makes a u-turn after a short distance, while ahead the short corridor ends after a few steps with two more opening to the right. It doesn't take long to figure out, that they must be in some kind of labyrinth.

Looking at the walls of the room and corridor, what can he discern of it? He will share what he knows with Eliath.

He then takes the remains of the tindertwig and uses the burnt end of it to make small marks on the wall, a circle with an X in it.

"How good are you at making maps friend?" He will be using the burnt match to make symbols on the wall to mark their path. By re-charing the end of the match he will continue to use it. He will also look for other material to use in a smilar fashion: stray bits of wood and such.

The walls are smooth stone. The floor and ceiling are made of the same material. Being a wizard himself, Earmy immediately realizes, that this pyramid has not been built with manual labor. On the plus side, the corridors seem to make precise 90° turns, so it should be fairly easy to map their progress, if they are accurate with the distances.

Earmy looked at the black stone and his match. "this won't do to mark this spot." He contemplates the use of a spell, Prestidigitation to mark the stone.

Emagor Rilliance and Peabody

Emagor softly says, "This wandering is getting us nowhere, Eldwyn. Or do you have some idea of where you're leading us?"

"Cooooo?" softly inquires Peabody, tilting his scaly little head to the side.

 

[Scotley]

Eldwyn

Speaking very softly and close to his companion's ear, Eldwyn says, "I heard voices. Someone else is in here. I think it best we approach with caution and see what we find."

Emagor Rilliance and Peabody

Peabody nods vigorously

Incidentally, Emagor Rilliance is a slender human of average height with a studious look about him. His hair is cut fairly short, and he wears the robes one associates with a wizard. His "buddy," Peabody is a good-sized iguana who usually rides on Emagor's shoulder, but sometimes perches on top of his head for special effect. (He's a goofy lizard, to be sure!)

 

[Thanee]

With caution, Eldwyn, Emagor and Grynth proceed towards where they have heard the voices. Again, and again, they can make out words, and eventually they also see light.

At about the same time, Earmy and Eliath grow silent, as a shimmer of light can be seen at the far end of the corridor they are in. Next they hear footsteps and while they are expecting their gnomish friend to come around the corner, it is someone else entirely.

 

[Scott DeWar]

A young human, in what seems to be his late teens with patchy growths of hair on his face that shows a bit of travel time since his last visit to a barber is further evidenced by his wispy, unkempt light brown hair tosseled with sweat and a bit grimy from the road. His clothing also shows signs of a bit of travel from the dust on the explorer's outfit he is wearing. His skin is bronzed from much time in the sun, from what you can see of it.

He sports a rapier and short bow. Peaking out from his clothing is what appears a fine silvery mesh for armor.
