CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

[Thanee]

Dara

Dara speaks in a hushed voice, as she slowly moves around the large pit, her eyes looking left and right for any signs of danger.

“We should take a look into the side aisles before we continue forward...”

 

[Scotley]

Verdis is still overwhealmed by the size and evil of the place. He follows along mutely.

 

[Rhun]

OOC: FYI, the big black circle in the center is a pit of some sort, not a pillar. I probably should have made it a different color for clarification.

 

[hafrogman]

Marco wanders around, danger temporarily forgotten. He examines the carvings and temple with great curiosity. He reaches out idly to run his fingers over one of the columns, but stops himself short and settles for observation.

The shards of crystal attract his attention too, and he wanders closer to them, examining, again without touching.

 

[Rhun]

The shards are just that...broken pieces of what were probably (un)holy vessels used during ceremonies. They were almost certainly destroyed by the army that assaulted the Temple nearly a decade ago. Although they lacked the power to destroy the Temple proper, you remember being told that they sacked the place.

To the west, the pillars are of sandstone, resting upon a red slate floor. Bits of broken pottery and sharp pieces of rock cover the floor here. The stumpe of a granite monolith, and the chunks of brownish-red rock around its base, indicate the the altar here was violently assaulted and destroyed. A few links of bronze chain, a twisted manacle, and a bronzewood maul with a snapped haft add to the impression that the enemies of the Temple who did this must have found this altar very hateful indeed.

To the east, the thick stone columns are deep green, with blood-red striations. The paving blocks are a mossy-green, with a circular dias-like area about twenty feet in diameter in the center part of the wing. The dias is two tiered, each rising about eighteen inches. The lower disc is greenish black stone, the upper is blackish green. The center of the altar is a depression about eight feet across, filled with scummy black liquid. Smashed shells are scattered all about, and a broken bronze knife lies close at hand.

 

[Manzanita]

"They couldn't destroy this, or even deface it." the halforc mutters to the dwarf. "But its empty now.

Two axe will continue to explore the area until he finds an enemy, a door or something.

 

[Insight]

Not being an especially religious type one way or the other, Otto slowly enters the nave and looks about. "What sort of sacrifices do you suppose took place here?" he asks.

 

[Rhun]

"Blood and bone, not to doubt," says Ragnok in response to Otto's question. "Ye can feel the evil in this place. It makes me skin crawl."

 

[Rhun]

Two axe will continue to explore the area until he finds an enemy, a door or something.

OOC: You can either continue to the north, or check out one of the visible doors. There are doors in the far walls of both the east and west wings, and also one to the northwest of you. I also just realized that the stairs to the north should be twenty feet wide, not ten.

 

[hafrogman]

"Interesting place really."

Marco examines everything in the chamber slowly as he wanders around with the others.

"Still, no bandits. If they're here, it doesn't look like they've cleaned up much."
