Dungeon of the Fire Opal, part V

[HeavyG]

let's start with the lizardfolk quarters, should be quick!”

It is, too.

Seems the lizardfolk are long gone, and they have packed everything useful.

The room is 30'wide by 50' long. The ground in it has much less debris and all than the rest of the dungeon.

The walls are covered with bas-reliefs representing elves, orcs and horrible froglike bipeds in chains, led forward by a robed monk.

At the far end of the room, a huge oaken trapdoor 10' across covers the ground. It is set with two huge iron pull-rings and a large iron bar set in rings on both side of the trapdoor prevents it fom being opened from below.

Ivellios immediately charges into the room and begins using his greatsword to hack and scrape at the bas-relief representations of orcs along the walls. After some of the orc carvings are defaced, he notices the chained elves. With a shudder he moans, "Oh what a horrible place this is!"

Then noticing the barred trapdoor, he frowns in puzzlement, "I wonder what's down there? Does this monk that they show along the walls keep prisoners below? Of course any elf prisoners must be freed, and any orcs down there must be destroyed. Or maybe they're all dead by now, this place seems kinda old."

[OOC: From Kytess's last comment and other previous comments, Murhid has realized Kytess is fighting 'inner demons', and wanted to relieve her from thinking Murhid is going to flesh out those demons. It's up to Kytess if she wants to talk about the past etc... Maybe this has to do with the fact I might not of gotten what Kytess said: "and you'll remember me as I am now instead of as my spirit is torn from my body." ??]

"Perhaps that's best. We'll part ways, and you'll remember me as I am now instead of as my spirit is torn from my body. Such is _my_ wisdom: befriend not the warrior."

"Perhaps it's best that we leave each other. That way, you'll remember me as I am now instead of as I die. That's why yopu shouldn't befriend fighters: by the time you get to really know them, they die violently."

It's just Kytess saying that it's OK that they won't adventure together (little does she know ) since it will save Murhid from seeing her 'leave her mortal shell'. It could also be seen as Kytess' fear of commitment, if you squint just right.

“The trapdoor? I guess that's where they had the dragon imprisoned when they were not training it.”

“The trapdoor? I guess that's where they had the dragon imprisoned when they were not training it.”

"Oooh.
Is dragon poo worth anything?"

Ubaar unbolts the trapdoor and lifts the heavy door (any chance to show Strength) and leans over, loooking down the pit.

OOC: would you two (Kytess and Murhid) talk in friggin real sentences?! All this mysterious, hard-to-decipher cryptic-ness is really hard to comprehend. whew - had to get that off my chest... keep moving, nothing to see here.

 

[Murhid]

Murhid stands outside of the 'lizard room' and waits for the all clear so he can continue scouting ahead.

Murhid likes the systematic approach.

[OOC: Aww all clear now, soz bout that... gotta read things a little slower . Just deleted that whole part bout the minds/feelings and what not etc...

lol, dragon poo]

"Of course any elf prisoners must be freed, and any orcs down there must be destroyed. Or maybe they're all dead by now, this place seems kinda old."

"So orcs even in chains frighten you, Ivellios?

Ubaar's pretty sure there's no prisoners down there, but if there were, I guarantee I'd make sure how they got down 'dere before allowing them to be kilt."

Sorry, I didn't think it was that bad... I'll try to be more clear in the future.

"I don't care if I find orcs in chains, or in polka-dot bikinis. Either way, they've gotta be destroyed."
