OOC: Okay, no reason for this at all :angel: but I need you to give me your positions on the map. Overall the area is 4x6 squares, assume A-D horzontally and 1-6 vertically, so that A1 is the bottom left statue, A2 and A3 next to the double doors and so on. Edmond will presumably be in C4.

Whatever they represent, the statues seem to be just statues. Mhairi can find nothing about them that suggests otherwise.

Schattenstein, the Cobalt Dwarf leader, is hidden behind rocks and undergrowth. Aracta draws an aim on one of the cobalt dwarfs in the open ... and hits. Bastian follows his mistress' lead, hitting the same dwarf and then Cassie steps between them and finishes him off with her crossbow. The...

"Some big bastard's been this way," says Kraken. "Don't reckon it's those tentacles neither, unless they've taken over an ogre or something, eh? Dunno what made these tracks, but it loks like it's gone down there," he points down the side hallway with his falchion. "Don't reckon we want to...

"Okay," says Shem, "but we'll need to enter seperately - maybe the Captain with me, then Hang with Blue, then Mal. And we don't know each other. But stick closely in case it kicks off." He looks up at the larger men. "You can do what you do so well." By the time Mal enters the dive bar, Shem is...

As Mhairi predicted, the doors swing open at a gentle touch, smoothly and silently. Beyond, there is a corridor flanked by two statues of a tiger-headed man, much like the ones in the room below, with arms held out to welcome people in and usher them forwards. They are not magical. Beyond, the...

The magic emanating from the wall is strong, but neither Edmond nor Ignatius can tell what it's purpose might be. Certainly it feels like a normal rock wall to Ignatius, and nothing happens to him when he touches it.

The doors are not magic. However, a section of wall to the right, where the corridor bends around, does radiate magic.

The rest of the watern cavern is empty, apart from a small boat and a lingering smell of fish, so there seems nowhere else to go except back to the double doors with the elaborate tiger carvings. This the group does and soon Edmond and Ignatius see the doors that Mhairi and Manachan have already...

The man glances up at the group and stares at you intently. "You're looking for the labyrinth," he says. "Upstairs." He points op, then to his right and back, pretty much the direction that the more elaborate doors are in. This done he goes back to gazing upon the enormous snakes.

"Me?" says Shem, his voice going squeaky. "Well, I, er, sure, I guess I can do that for you, yeah. So... um... are we going for asking for safe passage or what? I mean, where will I be taking this? Because the last thing I want to do is mess it up for you guys. Not that I would," he adds hastily.

OOC: Vudra is basically the fantasy India of this world.

Ignatius' conjecture is not entirely correct - these plain double doors lead into an opulent area, a vast room at least 50 ft. long, floored in marble and vaulted above. On either side, life-size statues of a tiger-headed man stand in alcoves, three on each side. At the end of the room the floor...

Shore leave, and for some (Shem particularly) it's a relief to get solid groud under foot again. Captain Ying and Copper Dann are the only crew of the Shadow Lark to leave the ship, the rest stay aboard to make ready to sail again. Port Linlin is a shanty town built on top of the burned ruins of...

OOC: With that Stealth skill vs Edmond's Perception I'd say it's pretty much a given!

"Sounds like a plan," says Kraken. He looks ar Hendrick. "You okay coming along with us, mate?" he says. "We could use your navigation, eh? But more'n likely we'll meet more tentacle things, possibly even more of your old muckers."

Mhairi finds no signs of traps, but the doors are well-maintained and do not appear to be locked.

By Ignatius'light it looks like the water tunnel travels a short distance and then turns sharply to the left. Meanwhile, Mhairi and Manachan creep down the other tunnel. Mhairi reaches the end first, where the tunnel turns sharply to the left and ends in a set of double doors. The doors are...
