[AU] Stone Bones

[Rybaer]

Leesea flits over to Dak.

"Bribilee, dear," she says with a kind wink.

When Phaern suggests cementing the groups bond in ritual, Leesea chimes in. "I think that's a wonderful idea," she says. "We've clearly been chosen for a common purpose and have made it this far in good faith. There may be trying times ahead. Strengthening our bond can only help us complete our quest."

Dak

*Dak blinks, startled. No one, that he can recall, has ever winked at him before, and he isn't quite sure what to make of it. Eventually, he decides that she is being friendly and smiles back at her.

As he mulls over things like winking and sprites, a slow wave of realization comes over him. His brows furrow, and he opens and closes his mouth a couple of times. Then, he turns to Atlas.*

"Ain't much," he says, holding out his staff and hatchet, "but I reckon you'll make better use of these than me."

*Atlas, smiles and takes the staff, the hatchet being much to small for his large hands.* "Thank you, brother."

*Everyone thusly prepared with weapons and enhanced sight, you step into the Twilight Chamber. The floor is covered with small flat mushrooms that spread like a carpet. You can't avoid stepping on them, and they quietly squeak underfoot. You can't see any source for the light, there just seems to be a strange, twilight blue glow pervading the room. The chamber is large, and dozens of tunnels go off of it at varying intervals. The grayfolk look fearfully at the ceiling as they start to scamper across the mushroom-covered floor.*

*Atlas catches the sound of something that almost resembles rats scrabbling inside walls, if there walls were stone that is. It seems to becoming from all around, and it's hard to get a fix on its origin.*

"Does anyone else here that?" *Atlas, asks while looking everywhere at once trying to locate the noise.*

"You hearing the voices in my head too?" Phaern says, a little distracted still wearing the Tonguesinger. He looks around to see if he can spot what Atlas is looking for. Noting that the grayfolk are being very sneaky and quiet, he hovers over to Atlas to see if he can hear better from there before wispering, "Maybe its whatever these guys want to avoid, best keep our voices down I think."

Dak

*Dak sticks close to Atlas, hoping to hide the giant in the magical darkness that encircles him. Creeping as quietly as he can, he begins to cross the room after the greyfolk, stealing a glance at the ceiling as he goes.*

[ooc: Sneak vs. Listen: +4 Sneak vs. Spot: +9 Spot: +4 Where's the pack mule? Dak will try to lead it quietly (Handle Animal + 5) in the cloak of darnkess as well, unless someone else has charge of it. Can Dak help the donkey sneak with a Handle Animal check, keeping it quiet and helping it to feel safe, maybe blindfolding it?]

"Dak, by all means, lead my stubborn mule."

*Wil hands over the rope that he was pulling the mule along with.*

*Kelthet too walks as quietly as he can, but keeps his eyes on the ceiling, looking with interest for whatever it is the greyfolk are scared of. He knows these two are fairly weak, and feels confident in the group's ability to defend themselves if need be.*

Leesea will move as quickly and quietly as possible across the room. She will occasionally glance up and around, curious as to what could be in here. She will also pay attention to the grayfolks' actions and body language.
