(YBA) Sharlea goes it Alone V

[Wicht]

The men travel down the path of the dead until they turn south down the path of tears. Sharlea, following them discreetly overhears something about a competition they are going to.

About halfway down the path of tears, on the right, the men enter into a tomb and do not come back out.

As Sharlea watches, she is aware of another group of men coming down the Path of the Dead towards the Path of Tears.

Sharlea will proceed to the tomb which the first group of men entered. Quickly checking it out, she will listen at the door if nothing else arouses her suspicions, then enter if all is quiet...

 

[Wicht]

The door to the tomb reads, "Here Lies Rotting Rottger. Once a Great Bard. Now he spends his days Decomposing."

There is graffitti on the wall next to the door reading, "Imp Power."

Sharlea hears giggling on the other side of the door.

There is no lock on the door but it appears to be firmly closed. A voice from the other side of the door hollers in a loud, high pitched voice, "Whats the Password?!"

There is a burst of giggling.

 

[Phoenix8008]

Having a feeling of deja vu that she wishes would be a tad more specific, Sharlea answers with the first thing that comes to mind...

"There is no password, you idiot Imps! Now quit wasting my valuable time and open these doors IMMEDIATELY!!"

Looking back down the path, Sharlea trys to keep an eye and an ear out for the other group of men she thought was coming this way. In case this subtrefuge fails, she may well need to find another plan... and quickly.

 

[Wicht]

The door opens and within Sharlea sees some pouting imps.

"Everyone knows the password anymore," complains one sulkily.

The room within is rather small and Sharlea sees a door on the other side of the room.

The sound of voices is getting closer, evidently the men are coming this way.

 

[Phoenix8008]

Sharlea proceeds forward with a glare at the imps to keep them intimidated. Heading towards the door, she will open it and proceed through into the unknown.

 

[Wicht]

The door opens up into the inner room of the crypt. A single torch burns on the wall to Sharlea's left, illuminating three coffins propped against the back wall. The coffins are all closed.

The imps giggle and close the door behind Sharlea.

 

[Phoenix8008]

Grabbing the torch on the wall, Sharlea will first pull on it to see if it might act as a lever to open something hidden. Failing that, she will search the three coffins and then the walls around the room while keeping a wary eye out for traps.

 

[Wicht]

Removing the torch from it's bracket causes a part of the floor to slide open revealing stairs going down into darkness.

 

[Phoenix8008]

Keeping the torch, Sharlea will decend down the stairs and see where they lead her to.
