[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6286055, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN 06 THE DRUID SEGMENT 054 “RUINED TEMPLE” 4/06/14 NYMM 28, 999 “What are these?” asks Cy as he steps up through the thick brush before the ruins. “Looks like grave stone markers.” offers Witt. “What is written on them?” asks Persia. Truth tries to translate but doesn’t know the language. He has seen it before however. Before he can ask anyone else the gnome to stumbling and tripping over scrolls as he is hurriedly trying to find a blank piece to begin to map and take notes on. Witt decides to check out the ruins. Cy and Persia are quick to follow. Truth looks around for signs of activity with Tom and Fuzzy, the second bear animal companion to Tom in a week. They find no tracks or signs of activity. Persia goes to the ruins of an old tower first. There is little here. She spots stairs going down and investigates. Below is just a dank and dark area with leave litter and when disturbed- lots of bugs. As she leaves, Truth follows her and checks out the tower by himself. He finds nothing either. RAF waits outside. He distrusts the gnome and wants to keep an eye on him. The ruins may once have been a part of a temple. There are stairs and the remains of four columns at the top of the stairs. Two entrances. One leads to a hallway with two more sets of stairs. One going up and the other goes down. Cy tries up first. There is a small exposed room here. The floor is rotted and looks like anything heavier than the gnome will bring it all crashing down. Persia goes down. She finds the basement is similar to the tower remains. Boring. The gnome does a few rubbings on the wall. RAF ignores him as he is distracted by the grave stones. His imagination runs wild as he keeps thinking something is rising up through the earth. Witt looks about and finds a broken statue. All that remains is two clawed feet and a tail that swept to the front. “Dragon?” He wonders to himself out loud. By this point Assimo has nearly circled the entire temple taking measurements magically and writing them down. Though he has not offered it, he knows what this temple was once and who used it. Orcs. And they worshiped the dragon Vvaraak whom taught the orcs druid magic. Persian finds a room that a door remains very intact. Witt twists the wood frame the door rests within and thus it merely falls in. Looking through the debris she finds a clay ceramic vase that feels heavy. She is tempted to open it but decides to ask Truth first. As she begins to step down the steps leading into the temple things begin to happen. Cy, kneeling before a grave stone attempting to read the carved runes notes the ground is pushing up! “The dead rise! He calls out in a panic. By time Persia with the vase reaches Truth, Tom is calling out that there are things in the thick swamp rising and walking towards them. Assimo is too caught up in his map to listen. As about three dozen skeletons approach the group Witt is quick to pull out his holy symbol (dagger over a heart…. Eerie) They are surrounded. The cleric of Death begins to demand the undead to leave. Those closest to him stop and wander into the thick brush. It is at this point the gnome looks up. Scratches has been meowing for several seconds now. His two different colored eyes wide in fear. “Skeletons!” he calls out. Duh. The group tries to group up or position themselves so that the skeletons can’t attack all at once. Witt concentrates again demands they leave at the top of his voice. Most of them turn and go into the brush. The remaining few are easily dispatched. “What brought that on?” asks Persia. Everyone looks at her and the vase in her hands. [/QUOTE]
