BrOp's Age of Worms Adventure Path: The Whispering Cairn (IC)

[Ranger Rick]

"Fixit, this sarcophagus only moves one way. Should I keep moving it the way it allows me to?"

 

[Erekose13]

"Yes, turn it! Before this place collapses." says Kerwyn as the rumbling gets louder. He runs over to join Sniffer in pushing the sarcophagus clockwise.

 

[Bront]

Zan calls to Meldain "Get out of there! I think it's waiting till no one's in the chamber!"

 

[Someone]

Rial first stands still, worried about the rumbling, then runs to the corridor with the spider webs and the stairs. If this collapses, I don´t want to be here" thinks, remembering the rubble they found earlier.

 

[Knight Otu]

"What the... Mulch, what did you eat so that everything... What?" As he realizes that the rumbling has a different source, Meldain literally dashes out of the tunnel.

 

[Branding Opportunity]

Sniffer and Kerwyn together strain against the weight of the sarcophagus and pedestal as they attempt to continue pushing it clockwise. After an abortive attempt (OOC: Failed Strength check with Kerwyn aiding) the arrow platform begins to move and finally stops when it reaches the "blue" corridor. Just as it arrives in this position, however, there is a cacophonous creaking and crashing from the "green" corridor and a huge cloud of dust and pulverized stone comes billowing out, covering anyone still near it. (OOC: All of you have moved away.) Those close enough can see that the entire end of the "green" corridor has completely collapsed, leaving a dark hole in the floor, at least 10 ft. wide. After the ringing in your ears subsides, you can hear a soft skittering sound which seems to be growing louder coming from this corridor.

OOC: On a completely seperate note I wanted to let all of you know that only the "green", "yellow", and "indigo" corridors have fully been explored, as far as I can tell. Let me know if this is incorrect.

"Guess we were too slow eh Sniffer. What the heck is that?" Kerwyn asks as the sound of skittering builds.

 

[Someone]

"Uh, oh" says Rial. He throws the torch to better illuminate the scene and skitters himself to the walls/ceiling of the corridor.

ooc: [sblock]if we´re moving into round-by-round action, first throw the torch to the edge of the cloud of dust, then (hopefully) move out of harm as high as he can.[/sblock]

 

[Bront]

Zan draws and loads his crossbow, not liking the sounds of the skittering.

 

[Ranger Rick]

"Guess we were too slow eh Sniffer. What the heck is that?" Kerwyn asks as the sound of skittering builds.

"Aye. Now what was that noise?"
Sniffer follows Zan's lead and draws his bow.
