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

[Bront]

"Agreed, let's continue to look around upstairs, we can return here later."

 

[Erekose13]

Kerwin nods as he ties his rope into a loose bundle, he'll have to let it dry out later. "Up we go then. Perhaps we'll find something that can drain this water out too."

 

[Ranger Rick]

Sniffer loks around at the water on the dry land and realizes that there is no way to hide their tracks.

The group carefully makes its way past the corridor leading to the room with the beetles. A few of the beetles begin buzzing loudly as you pass, but most seem content to eat the strange substance which covers the far wall. Picking up the pace a bit, the group makes its way back to the chamber with the caved-in ceiling. There everyone uses the still-secured rope to make their way back up to the great sarcophagus chamber (OOC: Everyone "takes 10" on Climb checks).

Once back in the level above a quick look around that the arrow platform is still pointed at the "blue corridor", the one with the skeleton of the man that died from a great fall at the end of it. Nothing seems to have changed and no new sounds can be heard.

Fixit Warforged Artificer

Fixit moves over to the casket "Well then shoulders to the task" he says and starts to try to rotate the casket in the same direction as last time.

Fixit moves over to the casket "Well then shoulders to the task" he says and starts to try to rotate the casket in the same direction as last time.

The warforged makes a few attempts to push the heavy platform with the sarcophagus, but it is too heavy for him at first. Finally, after straining quite a bit, he starts it moving in a clockwise direction once again. As before, it stops at the next corridor which has the indigo lantern hanging at the end of it.

As the platform slides into position you can once again hear the scraping of metal against stone and the release of air under pressure coming from the corridor. As before an elevator appears at the end of it and two doors slide open with a hiss of air.

 

[Ranger Rick]

Immpressive you moved it by your self. Do we go down in this elevator thingy or do we have an alternative way down?

 

[Someone]

"Our alternative way down ended in a water filled room" says Rial. "Now we only have to figure a way to make this thing go down again" continues, stepping into the metal tube, perhaps imprudently.

[ooc: Search for anything out of normal in the elevator]

A quick look around reveals that the bottom of the elevator contains numerous crushed bones and moldy clothes (OOC: 1 Search check).

 

[Ranger Rick]

Can we ah...dystroy..or move the elevator and rope down the shaft?
