[QUOTE="Manzanita, post: 1406095, member: 10109"] [b]Secret door[/b] Octar removes the stone wedges, then slips his hand into the space and pushes. The door resists this effort. Marcus examines the mechanism, and instructs him to push the other direction. This time, Octar sheaths his sword, in order to use both hands. At first, his efforts seem futile, then, with a grunt and a heave, the burly Roman budges the ancient door. There is a loud crack, and the door rumbles open, sliding, without any effort from Octar, slowly into the adjoining wall, creating a ten foot opening. Through this opening the company now sees a semi-circular room, scattered with masonary rocks. Upon and around these rocks sit about a dozen large men. But not exactly men. They resemble crocodiles, with dark scales of green and grey. Their mouths are also large and full of teeth. But they stand upright, a little taller than men. About half are naked. The other half wear leather harnesses, and have spiked wooden clubs and large hidebound sheilds at hand, or at their sides. Many are in the process of eating what appear to be large centipedes. As they look up, startled at your appearence, several have a foot or so of twisting milipede tails hanging out of their mouths, the feet of these giant insects still squirming. Three of the men have lighted torches, and you realize that in addition to the humanoids, there is also a large crocodile, about 12 feet long. [/QUOTE]
