[QUOTE="Forgefly, post: 4067493, member: 55352"] [b]The Temple in the Mountain Pass[/b] None of you need to see Moonlight’s back stiffen to know you’ve reached the strange place she warned you about. Apparently her description of “bugs crawling on your skin” was not meant as an abstract metaphor. Each of you feels as though there were discrete, individual bugs crawling on your skin, invisible centipedes by the feel of it. Ahead of you the path splits; the main path continues to the right and a smaller path to the left leads up to the “temple” Moonlight mentioned. The path is marked off by pairs of statues with a new pair every 10 feet. The statues are old and covered in lichen and some by vines, but a few features are still recognizable. The statues show goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears in various military poses. After some careful looking and a brief huddle, Karienna and Ulzim conclude that these statues are authentic Dhakaani era artifacts. (Knowledge History.) There is no underbrush past the last pair of statues and the trees have strange slash marks at all different heights. As you pass each pair of statues, you feel the insects crawling further and further up your body, up your legs, then on your belly, on your arms…around your neck towards your face…and then you hurtle desperately past the last pair of statues and the feeling disappears. The temple stands before you forlorn. The columns surrounding the portico are chipped and scratched, an oversized entry gapes at you like a giant mouth, what remains of the doors hang like little teeth. A faint rhythmic noise seems to come from the temple, but it is so faint you aren’t sure if you are really hearing it. [sblock=OOC]And with that I’ll need a marching order. Two abreast, Sevulta and Brorgar will count as a single rank. As a little handout I’ve included a link to help visualize the scene, but it is only for the strong of heart, so don’t say you weren’t warned.
