[QUOTE="97mg, post: 7419446, member: 6799460"] [b]The Carven Door[/b] Metea’s newly crafted symbol sits happily alongside the originals, an excellent duplication of their style, form and size. As she then works on a transcription into her personal tome, Magaw moves closer to the wall, hovering in front of each in turn. At the last, on the right, he pauses. [COLOR="#008000"]“Oh…”[/COLOR] Something is tickling an old memory. The skull tilts sideways like a curious mind attached to an invisible neck. The Tiefling alone notices Magaw’s reaction, like he knows a little more than is currently being vocalized... The dwarf gratefully accepts Otiroth’s offer of food, and moves towards him. [COLOR="#800080"]“Rough? You underestimate the power of me gut!” [/COLOR]He slaps a hand against his once bulbous belly and grins. [COLOR="#800080"]“I hunger for sunshine, family and peace. But for now, a well-done venison with a brushing of herbs, oh could you imagine?”[/COLOR] Miraculously, the dried meat tastes wonderful. The little jaw rips and chews at it greedily until he is about half way through. Then a deep look of anxiety and suspicion forms in his eyes. [COLOR="#800080"]“Too good to be true.
