Academy of Drell, Part IV

[Lichtenhart]

Victor uses his Light to study the behavior of magic in this room, and slowly approaches the passageway where Kith detected alteration magic.

 

[Jeremy]

Rallyn simply follows along.

 

[novyet]

"Hey Rallyn let's check around the room for anything that's unusual. I mean I don't feel too useful while they do their magic or whatnot."

OOC ---> Ellie will begin to search the room while the others check with magic

 

[Jeremy]

"Sure, Ellie." Rallyn takes 20, for a Search check of 20.

If people leave the room while he's still searching he will catch up when he's done.

 

[Zhure]

The entrance to the grotto remains unchanged. As earlier, there aren't any apparent footprints on the floor -- or the ceiling.

From where the group came out of the pool, the water has almost dried and there's little evidence of your passage.

 

[novyet]

After fruitlessly searching the room, Ellie will head to the frist room they encountered, and examine the ground again. "Maybe they did go that way originally, and just didn't leave any tracks for us to find. All right let's check it out!

 

[Zhure]

OOC: Sorry for the delay and slow pacing. I'll try to pick it up some.

Victor's light behaves much as did Serbanas's sword, dimming to nothing inside the circle then winking back once outside.

Ellie looks around for footprints or other signs of passage, but there are none to be found. Likewise, Rallyn finds nothing in his search, then moves on to hurry and catch up with the others.

As the group starts to travel once more up the north tunnel, and are still in the pool room, where they entered, there's a distinctive, distant rumbling sound. At first it sounds like it might be an earthquake, but then it's repeated.

Rallyn, who happens to be closest to the pool, sees the water tremble for a brief moment.

Sildarin, half clinging to the ceiling, doesn't feel it in the palms of his hands, nor do any on the cave floor feel it.

Victor -- the most musically inclined -- notes the sound is so low it's almost not audible. His skill tells him the only reason it was easily heard was the water acting like some kind of sounding board. It distinctly came from outside the caverns.

 

[Dalamar]

Sildarin's eyes widen as he hears the sound.
"What... what was that... ?"

Calm down, you look like a wussy.
I _am_ a wussy.
No. You just wish you were and therefore act like one.
What makes you think that?
Like the others, including those hot chicks I aren't too close to by the way, I noticed that you act bravely when you don't think too much.
...
Could you move a bit forward so I could try to see Ellie or Charlotte's cleavage?
"Their what?"
Cleavage. You know... boobs... tits... milk factories... the squishy things that girls have on top of their chest.
"You want to see their breasts?"
Sildarin's face reddens even as he hasn't yet noticed voicing his thoughts.
You said it, not me.
"But that's what you meant."
But I didn't say it.
"Sheesh... can't you ever stop? There's a weird sound and all you can think of is... boobs, as you called them."
You know, I'm part of your mind.
"Don't remind me."

Unlike normally, Sildarin seems to not notice that he talked. He starts looking to his sides, but his expression is more that of irritation than that of fear.

 

[Jeremy]

"Whuh?" Rallyn looks at the water confused at it's motion then looks around to the group.

 

[GnomeWorks]

Sildarin
"What... what was that... ?"

"That's a good question." Charlotte says, looking around. "Does anyone have any idea of where that could have come from? If we have an idea, then we should head there, fast... we might also want to send someone to get the others, so that we are at full strength if we run into something."

Charlotte looks around, attempting to find the source of the sound.

Sildarin
"Their what?" ... "You want to see their breasts?" ... "But that's what you meant." ... "Sheesh... can't you ever stop? There's a weird sound and all you can think of is... boobs, as you called them." ... "Don't remind me."

Charlotte slowly turns to face Sildarin after he finishes his conversation with himself. "Are you quite through?" She asks in an incredulous voice. "We have work to do." She then shakes her head in an irritated way, and resumes examining the area.
