Falling in behind the big warrior, the party makes the short trek back to the Marionette room. The grizzly remains of the skeletal guardian take the young woman aback temporarily, but she quickly regains her poise and moves to the painting.

"It looks symbolic - somewhat religious - to me. Neither of the creatures depicted appear quite 'human,' but one is definitely superior to the other. Have any of you encountered either of these creatures before?

It may be a depiction of some sort of ritual, or it could be instructions for conducting such a ritual, or for something else entirely. It may also depict the first encounter of the subjugate race with the dominant. It's very hard to tell without some sort of context to put it in."

"That IS more than we knew about the painting. But, I say that about does it for the academic lesson. Let us scour the rest of this place for our "lost passage."

OOC: Mike, remind me again, is this painting actually painted on the wall, or is it merely hanging on it?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Once More . . .

OOC: It is painted directly on the wall, much like a 'real world' cave painting.

to Garvil:

You said you thought a way forward may be down the hall to the five rooms? Let us have a look and see if we can get through.

 

[Scotley]

Gavril

"Yes, let us see what we can find. I can't help thinking that there is more yet to this place."

 

[draven14]

Cerallos

"I agree, too many strange things and too heavily protected for this to be it."

Béar

OOC: If nobody objects, Béar will lead the party back to the 5-door-area to scour for something we missed.

Once More . . .

After more than an hour of searching, Gavril notices an irregularity in the back wall of the second room from the left. It's possible there's a way through, but he finds no obvious way to open it.

 

[Scotley]

Gavril

Just at the point of giving up in frustration and abandoning the quest in favor of pursuing the lady, Gavril notes the irregularity in the wall. Gathering the others he says, "I found something odd here. I'm not sure how to open it, but there is definately something funny about the wall here." He probes about for loose stones or protrustions or other mechanisms that might open the wall.
