Arden stays ready in case of hostile creatures with wet feet, but remains aware of her party's wishes to give things a chance to parlay. She says in a loud whisper so hopefully only her friends can hear, "someone is coming from the portcullis"

Scun has an idea and tries out the following order: a thinking ruminating man a man performing an intricate ball-related game a man listening to music a man watching a play a man dancing a man receiving a sensual massage a man delivering a speech a man recalling memories in a thought bubble

Arden will stay out in the entrance room, and watch the other archways, covering them with her crossbow. (ready attack for any enemy looking things with weapons drawn from another area)

Scun scratches his head. "There must be an order to it. These things aren't familiar to me in the life of a wandering adventurerer, but maybe they would happen in a timeline of someone elses life.

(ooc: do the mosaics line up with compass directions? Scun will go upstairs and use survival to try to determine that, then come back down.) Scun also decides to touch a gem twice in succession to see what happens. He presses the gem corresponding to listening to music twice. depicting a...

(ooc: Scun doesn't have detect magic - does anybody else?)

Arden waits for the traffic to clear a little bit before moving in. (delay)

Classic Jungle Jamesing.

Arden moves towards the action, pulling out her own crossbow. She stops behind a corner to provide some cover as she loads a bolt. (move to the square near the corner in front of rowan's position on the map)

Arden absent-mindedly starts picking up the egg shells, and placing the smaller pieces inside the larger pieces. Then she will stack them in the corner out of the way.

Arden senses tension amongst her companions and quietly chirps in with "Looks like a nice place. What are those shards of porcelain?"

Arden surreptitiously puts her dagger back in its sheath, and pats the pocket containing the wand to make sure it is still in its place. She then smiles and approaches the boat, looking forward to an interesting time at the least.

You can't triple stamp a double stamp!

Arden calls out quietly, "I feel a breeze when I stand here, coming from my left."

Now in the dark, Arden decides to put the wand in her pocket. She says, "Would someone lead me by the hand?" and feels around, trying to get a hand to hold. Once she has that done, she pulls out her trusty dagger and holds it in her other hand.

Arden, eyes fixed on the wand, wonders out loud. "I wonder if it is some kind of warning? Maybe the wand grows hot if there is a certain type of thing in the area. But wait, it stopped when I brought it out. Maybe it doesn't like being stowed away." She experiments a bit, moving it nearer...

Scuns brow furrows in thought. "We should see if this stuff is magical before we go messing with it, right?"

Arden takes a few steps back the way they came, and then carefully but speedily opens up her pack, and picks out the wand, using her sleeve as an insulator. She keeps it near the ground incase it is so hot she needs to drop it. She also doesn't want to drop it onto any fungus if possible.

I've found duskblades to be quite powerful; they can be damage machines. They suffer from ranger syndrome a little bit with their d8 hps, but otherwise they are pretty strong. I've both played one and DMed for one.
