Into the World, Chapter One

[bytor4232]

The party proceeds down the long passageway for about thirty paces. The same eerie torch holders lined the walls, with fresh unlit torches. Much to the parties relief, the cobwebs were nowhere to be found, just darkness.

[sblock=ooc]Time for some checks please, make sure you role play it out, don't just post that your spotting in OOC. You guys have been great about the roleplay, just trying to keep you guys on the right track.[/sblock]

 

[Amazing Triangle]

Trid oddly now walking near the front of the group just behind Charlie. "I find it odd that all of these are fresh and none of them have been lit. Do you think a creature comes through here and cleans them? Do you think it might be magic?" Trid's curiosity seems to be taking over, as his head goes from side to side trying to see from the torch light what is keeping the torches clean.

[sblock=OOC]Spot +4 looking over the walls; no not metagaming just looking for stuff the spider made him curious[/sblock]

"I don't think so. Perhaps this scalefood creatures can function in darkness, like bats, but need light to discern details. Or, ... it is magic." Thinking about the tracks, Darren takes a moment to search for signs of use in this passageway.

Mikhail's spirits lift somewhat after his companions' comments and not wanting to be caught off-guard again, he redoubles his efforts, scnning every nook, crack, and other potential place for threats.

[sblock=Rolls] Spot; Listen (1d20+2=10, 1d20+2=5) He's apparently not doing a very good job of it [/sblock]

"Magic, ha ha someone created a magic spell just to keep their caves clean," Trid begins to chuckle finding the idea that a powerful mage would create a spell just to get out of his chores.

"Maybe really powerful magic men just use their magics to keep themselves from having to get their hands dirty. Or they cast magics so they don't have to even think about it!"

"But isn't magic really expensive? I can't believe a wizard would go to so much effort just to keep his torches clean." As the party makes friendly banter, Charlie keeps an eye open for any more monsters hiding in the shadows. Although he tries to appear confident to the others, he is worried that someone could get hurt on this little quest.

"So between the two, I'd guess someone - or something - cleans them up once in awhile."

[Voldrath]

Riggan walks calmly behind Charlie. Confident that they've slain the caverns great beast, and could handle another eightlegger if they found one. "I don't know mutch bout magic, but it seems a waste to clean torches with it. Have these ever been lit?" He takes a moment to examine the walls for soot stains or other signs of use.

[sblock=results]1d20+4=15. You look over the torches, and notice some of them look newer than the others.[/sblock]

[sblock=results]1d20+2=22. Someone has been through here before, and has changed some of the torches. On the floor of the cavern you notice the same tracks on the ground as the ones the party saw outside. Three clawed lizard feet walking upright. The tracks look fresher than the ones outside.[/sblock]

"Hey some of these torches are new, wonder who put the new ones in?" Trid looks down the hall wondering who it could be.

Darren, AC 12 (T12, FF10), HP 7/7, F +2,R+2,W+0

"And I think I know who changed them," Darren says. "Look there are the same strange tracks like outside, but this ones seem more recent."
