. . . . . . Darvin Hurella . . . . .
Looking at the symbols on the door, Darvin sighs. "They're not the same language as the documents that gave the cypher, but it seems related. This might take some figuring out. Hang on, Tsaaruk, and I'll have which ones you are to touch and which to avoid in just a moment. We would not want you to get fried by any ancient magical trap."
When Tuvian offers to help, Darvin seems rather pleased. "Ah, a little interest, have we? Good good, here is the source document, and the comparitive runes in different languages. We need merely translate into this language, which seems closely related to column B, here..."
For those that have no interest, it seems to take forever. But for those most directly involved, it goes rather quickly. Soon Darvin is calling symbols for Tsaarud to touch. After a good 10 minutes, eventually all the symbols in the right light up and the door slides into the floor, not stopping until it is flush with the floor. Stale air wafts towards you, letting you know the place has not been disturbed in quite some time. Beyond the door is some sort of guard post, including barricades for archers. Those without some sort of augmented sight need a light to see further, darkvision or low-light vision reveal more information--there is a cabinet at the far end, built into the wall. Additionally, on the right wall, behind the barricade, a passageway with stairs heads deeper into the complex.
"Well, there you have it," Darvin begins, already turning and heading out the door, "Let us know when you have completed clearin the place out." However, despite the use of the word 'we', Jericho is already out of the cave.
[sblock=The Room]The room is 30' x' 50', and you entered in the middle of one of the 30' walls.[/sblock]
[sblock=Thuvian]Your assistance on the cypher seemed to help move things along.[/sblock]
