the deep

"Hmm."

Béar relays the observation about the WORN STEPS to the crew.

"The steps are very awkward fellows. Be careful"

These must have been used by many people for a very long time--judging by the wear and tear. I wonder how long.

Into the Depths

From the bottom of the steps, closer to the edge of the lamplight, Béar sees the shadowy forms of two columns rising from the floor up into the impenetrable shadows above the party. They appear equidistant from the stairs to the right and left, just outside the arc of lamplight. No details can be made out.

Bear will stay put until the rest make their way down.

Cerallos

Noticing a couple of Bear's balance checks, "Nice recovery there Master Bear, I'm impressed. I suggest we be very careful on these, would be a shame to have a serious injury due to a frozen short set of stairs!"
Cerallos will wait for whoever's next or will go ahead and proceed down if no one else falls into order.

OOC:

Anyone making their way down the stairs (other than Skáth) needs to make a balance check (target number is +3 since you are being careful, but you don't have to worry about that - I take care of it).

Gavril

Taking great care Gavril tries to make it down the stairs without a fall.

OOC: Balance Check (3d6=12)

Into the Depths

Although there a few scary moments caused by his stiffened leg, Gavril makes it safely down the stairs. As he moves down with the lantern, the expanding circle of light reveals two rows of ice columns marching off into the gloom of the room. Clearly visible now in the center of each column is a man - some sort of warrior. About five feet tall, with stunted bandy limbs corded thick with muscle, they have wild black hair and beards woven into long braids decorated with what appear to be human finger bones. Their faces, chests, and shoulders are painted with blue woad in spiral designs. Each wears a simple loincloth and carries a spear or axe with a blade made of flint. Their only armor are shields - dried hide over wicker frames.

From what the characters can see, the room also appears studded with stalagmites.

It is plain that the dripping sounds come from these ice columns - they are clearly melting.

Cerallos

When it's his turn, Cerallos will try to carefully get down the stairs using his staff as support.
3d6-> [5,3,1] = (9)

OOC: Mike just for future knowledge, are there any kind of bonuses when we use items to try and aid us? Like me using my staff for support? Didn't know and wondered if describing that action is only good for narrative purposes!

Skath

OCC - Mike, just to clarify, the temp is still well below freezing in the room, correct?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC: Correct - the temperature is below freezing.
