Marcus

"I agree with Master Poto on this matter, as the priests will consider the actions you are committing now that the truth has been spoken. Many know of the bond between a familiar and his master and hold it to be as strong as a mother to her child."

Turning back to face the others, Marcus glanced quickly at the map and nodded his head.

"Let us hope our skills will be greater than the perils which await us...

It looks like one of my other games has petered out so I am in if you still want me.

Welcome back Dragon...and the game continues!

(perhaps after letting the city guard know of your progress???)

You open the secret door in the back of keegan's shop, and stairs decend into darkness. After lighting some lightsources (???) you folow the stairs down a bit hit a landing and turns south and continues down. After a further 20 feet down You reach a second landing. The corridor turns West and decends again. At this point everyone hears strange sounds from the chamber below, chirping birds, rustling leaves, and cheery giggles.

Poto, because of his tracking ability notices two distinct sets of tracks left in dusty steps ...small hoof prints and human sized foot prints. Both going up and down the stairway. (18+7=25)

Loose ends and winding steps...

As his companions prepare to journey down the steps into the gnomish ruins below, Marcus retrieved his dropped crossbow and checked to make sure the weapon was ready for use. While he had little doubt that their journey below would be a stroll through the gardens, he prayed that it would not be so grave as to send any of them on their final journey to meet their gods.

Looking toward the distraught gnome one last time, Marcus asked one last favor of him.

"When you tell the guards of your actions, as I know you will, please request any they can spare to return to guard this entrance until our return, and if necessary notify High Priestess Jenya of our demise should we fall."

Hoping the gnome truly wished to atone for his actions, Marcus stepped behind Griswald and Ian as the pair followed Poto down the worn steps.

Soon the light faded began to fade and as one, torches were lit and their path became visible once more.

~Never did I think my studies would place me here...never did I believe my aunt when she said one day I would do something for the bards to sing...~

Suddenly, Poto raised a hand and pointed to the steps at their feet. Tracks were visible, although to Marcus all they told him was that Keygan's story of brigands using him became more convincing, but it was the noise coming from below that Marcus found the most intriguing. It sounded as though the Spring Festival was beginning, but Marcus had no idea how such a pleasing thing could exist in a dark place such as this.

Whispering to the others, Marcus readied his crossbow as he spoke.

"Until we know from where these sounds come, I would recommend all be ready for the worst."

Poto

OOC: did the thing we killed up there have hoofed feet?

We must expect resistance. Griswold, will you lead us into combat. I will go beside you, perhaps Marcus could cast missles or spells over my head if necessary. Ian, Marcus, could one of you carry a torch? I would like my left hand free to use my sheild. Is anyone skilled at stealth?

Badger · Jul 10, 2003

As Poto mentioned casting spells, Marcus nodded his head, but quickly realized that the spells he had prepared for the day had been selected with gathering information instead of exploration.

~There is little use mourning what has already came to pass...~

As the dwarven knight took the lead, Marcus sent a quick mental prayer to any who would listen and followed the others toward the sounds.

"Ach. I ken carry a torch to light the way. Best let me up there in front Poto, sos I can bash any critters down there good!"

Ian draws his bastard sword and holds a torch in his buckler hand.

"Be my guest," Griswold says to Ian as he allows him past to go first, "Just be ready to make room for another should we encounter any more wee creatures."

The Staircase decends into a 40x40 room with a 10' cieling. A slight breeze can be detected from a coridor opening directly across from where you entered. Two 4 foot diameter circular doors are set in the middle of the south wall, the eastern door is half open. The doors are made of wood and (as can be seen from the half open one) are rimmed with an iron rim with geared teeth. It looks like when they open they roll inside the walls, so they neither swing in or out. In the middle of each door there appears to be a glyph of some sort, you can't tell what they are from where you are standing.

Mounted on the walls are 12 copper masks, each are 2 feet tall and cling to the walls 4 feet up, each depict a smiling gnome. The soft chirping, and giggling noises seem to seep from the very walls.
