Equivalent Exchange--Episode 2: Blood is Thicker

[stonegod]

Laura seems unfazed by the bones, Laura simply states "Forward seems best."

 

[Rystil Arden]

*The group heads forward, continuing onward into what seems like an abandoned rubble-strewn lab, with smashed glassware and equipment all about. In some of the smashed glass tubes, all in a row in the back, there are skeletons, all of identical size and shape, as of a small girl, some covered in bits of long-rotted flesh. There is a door in the back of the lab leading further onward.*

 

[Raylis]

Elysia looks around the room, comming to a stop a few feet in "What-what happened here?"

Her eyes settle on the identical bones, and she turns her head away from the other two. Is this where Tucker tried to reserrect his daughter?.

Selim casts the light of the lantern around the room, surprised and slightly irritated. The place was so old and yet such things hadn't been cleaned up and disposed of. He looks to Elysia when she speaks.

"Questionable things, one would assume," he responds to her question and moves towards the door in the rear of the room.

 

[stonegod]

Laura continues to say nothing, following Selim. Her manner is aloof, distancing herself from the remains in the room.

 

[Raylis]

Elysia lingers a moment before following the two through the room.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*The door leads into a room filled with a huge number of large completely-shattered glass containers, one of which is very slightly intact and has a faint red glow coming from the bottom. In the centre of the room, and just above it on the ceiling, are inscribed complex five-pointed transmutation circles. There are small pillars in a circle all around the drawn transmutation circle, and the shattered containers also surround it. The room is otherwise a dead end.*

 

[Festy_Dog]

"This room may contain something connected to our suspect," Selim says, pointing the lantern around to illuminate things of interest, "However it would appear the only path left to us is the one we skipped over in favour of this."

Selim, with sword in hand, starts walking around the edge of the room. He maintains distance from the transmutation circle, and inspects anything of interest.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Looking around for something else interesting beyond the obvious, Selim finds a scratched-up black helmet underneath some rubble.*

 

[Raylis]

Elysia stays near the entrance of the room, slowly taking it all in.
