Into the Depths

Everything you can see glistens like the corridor. There are no light sources other than the lantern, so you can only see normally out to about 6 1/2 feet and there is no meaningful illumination beyond 20 feet. The entire place has a very eerie, spooky feel. This is exacerbated by the echoing sound of water dripping (no way to pinpoint a direction) and the gentle moan of air being drawn through the shaft and hallway behind you.

Skath

Skath will stop his Toboggan run at the stairs and wait for the others. His eyes widen when he sees the center of the earth really does look as some had described it to the queen.

"These formations are amazing!" He can't help but touch one as the party joins him and they make their way through the room.

OOC:

At this point, I have the party gathered at the top of the steps. The map below shows the bottom of the shaft, the hallway, and the steps. Scale is 1 Hex = 6 1/2 feet. The dotted pencil line at the north of the map shows the approximate area the party can see into by lantern light (no meaningful detail can be made out beyond this point). Skáth could see farther with his ability to see in the dark, but he'd have to move to the edge of the light to do so.

Mike, you intend Skáth to move on into the room, correct? Actions for everyone else? Moving as a jumbled mass or in a particular order?

Skath

Mike,

Skath will wait for everyone else to catch up and will move into the room with the group.

Gavril

"I suppose we should take the icy stairs one at a time and with some care. Bear, if you would be so kind as to go first I shall hold the lantern for you here and then follow."

Bear will carefully go down the stairs--Thanatos at the ready.

Cerallos

Cerallos waits his turn and has his staff at his side like a walking stick for support. He constantly looks around and behind the party even if not being able to see far. He still has a strange feeling of the place as does the rest of the party most likely.

As Béar is being wary of the ice on the steps, he's much less likely to fall and bust his @$$.

OOC: Roll a DEX check for me, please - you may add 3 to the target number.

Béar

Dex roll = 3d6=15

OOC: Whew, that was close!

IC:

Béar makes his way carefully down the stairs, almost falling a couple of times but making it succesfully the five feet or so down. He realizes that in addition to the ice, the steps are worn on the leading edges, giving them a slight downward slope that adds to their treachery. Thinking of the number of feet and years it would take to wear the flint steps in such a way instills a sense of awe in the normally stoic warrior.
