A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [02]

[renau1g]

"C'mon Houwlou, this should be right up your alley" Aodhán jokes, but offers to join in.

Houwlou Groulenas

With a snarl toward the cleric, Houwlou will drop to all fours and begin digging, flinging the dirt in Aodhán's general direction. [sblock=ooc][/sblock]

[Maidhc O Casain]

You set to with a will and in fairly short order Houwlou's claws scrape metal. A bit more digging unearths a metal box some 6½ feet in length, 2 feet in width and 6 inches deep.

[sblock=Keeland]As the digging progresses you find yourself growing more and more excited, and by the time the box is uncovered you are almost overwhelmed with the desire to get to what's in it.[/sblock]

 

[Scott DeWar]

Harn will join in useing the flat of his ax blade to scrape dirt.

Tsadok

Tsadok will hoist the box from the earth and place it on the ground.

OOC - Mike, from your description this sounds like it might be a coffin of sorts, is that what we think?

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC:
I don't know - is it what you think?
Seriously though, it's only two feet wide and six inches deep so it'd have to be something skinny inside.

 

[Scott DeWar]

[sblock=mowgli, don't have anothor heart attack! ooc]
like a quarter staff or a bow?
[/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

The box is plain metal, unadorned. The lid is hinged along one of the long sides, latched on the other but there is no lock.

Harnry thinks it's about the right size to hold a quarterstaff, or possibly a longbow given the two foot width.

 

[Scott DeWar]

" Ya know, If I were to hide a strong or important magical item, it would be very much like this. i would even go as far as to say that you could easily fit a quarterstaff or two, or with a bit less ease you can fit a long bow and some arrows. But not any more then that."

OOC: yes, I know there is a slight bit of embellishment there! {/ooc]

Keeland

Eager to see what's inside, Keeland takes a moment to chant out a brief spell. He vision changes slightly as his gaze takes in the magical as well as the mundane world.
