[QUOTE="Gray Shade, post: 3286261, member: 32340"] There was a pause after his question so silent that I could hear Dongle's evenly-paced breath across the room. He looked back at me and I shrugged. I believe we both had given up on an answer when with a smacking of oddly-shaped lips the Roper spoke in a suspicious tone: [color=darkorange]"You've nothing to fear under the Dark Keep, so long as you keep the seal of the Duke visible. It's been so long since anyone stopped to talk, usually they just try to kill me or run past, that I forgot to check for the seal on you. I do not see you wearing it. Perhaps you should take a moment to dig it out for my inspection. No need to come any closer."[/color] We were both as surprised by this turn as we had been moments earlier when it spoke out in the first place. Ropers are malicious things, and not usually in a talkative mood, however, they are not known for being stupid, either. For my part, I tensed, digging through my pack of holding for an everburning torch. On the off-chance that Dongle signalled me to go running across the room, I would need some light source. * * * * OOC: Ropers have Int 12. It apparently has Darkvision with a range further than your 60' as well, since you cannot see it, but it seems to be able to see you. Brabinger is about 40' back from you, and you don't know for sure how long the hall is, but it's about 40' wide and at least 100' long. [/QUOTE]
