Fallen Angel [IC]

[Rybaer]

"Look," Lomas says, "if you want, I'll lead. I'm still able to fly, so if we come across another concealed pit I should only fall a few feet before catching myself. Just be ready to help out if another of those bug things tries to skewer me again."

 

[Someone]

"If you want to..." says Akaros. "Go ahead then, but whhat are you going to do if it´s not another pit trap and, say, a spear coming out of the wall?"

"If you want to..." says Akaros. "Go ahead then, but whhat are you going to do if it´s not another pit trap and, say, a spear coming out of the wall?"

"I suppose I could do this," Lomas says. He focuses for a moment and a silvery sheen surrounds his body. [ooc - manifest Chrysalis on myself, DR 2/-]

"It's not perfect, but it'll help."

Ready for more traps, you continue on your way. The end of this tunnel opens up into a larger cavern. Stalactites hang from the ceiling as the far wall rises up to meet them in a gentle slope. Water drips from the ceiling here and you can feel the humidity rise here. There is a faint earthy smell of stone that pervades the area, seemingly carried by the moisture. The cavern looks natural and the only evidence that it has been touched is the tunnel you came from and a path that leads through the room to exits to the north and south. As far as you can tell the room is empty.

OOC: Stalactites, but no stalacmites?

Michael slowly moves into the room, checking around the left and right corner. "Hmm, how about we head back left? I'd rather have the initial area explored than travelling down corridors without knowing what's behind us."

 

[Someone]

"You´re right." says Akaros. "And I don´t like so much water in the air. Let´s go back and explore the next corridor."

 

[Fanog]

Walking into the room next to Michael, Thomas takes a quick look around the entire cavern. He's watching his feet, on his guard for more traps. "Akaros, wait a moment", Thomas answers while walking through the cavern. "I don't think it would be good to turn around, only to to find that those bugs were hiding in here. That way, we'd still have 'em in our backs."

His own mentions of bugs makes Thomas looks upwards. They might be up the walls or ceiling...

 

[Thels]

"Of course, let's check the cavern carefully. But be on your toes. There's something fishy about this room. Once we've explored it, I'm suggesting to take the left corridor within this room, which should eventually lead back to where we started, or run into a dead end."

OOC: The corridor to our left would be the one leading north.

 

[Rybaer]

Lomas floats just a bit off the ground and moves a few feet into the cavern. He strains to peer into the dark corners as best he can in his torchlight. In the meantime, he pulls Blaze back out of his pocket.

"Hey Blaze," he whispers to the crystal, "do you see anything hiding in here?"

 

[Erekose13]

You carefully search the entire room, suspicious because of the change in moisture in the room. It would appear that this is the only room thus far that is still in its natural form. Climbing the slope on the eastern (across from where you came in) wall of the room you can see that just before the wall it slopes back down and water runs down it collecting in a small stream that moves slowly under a gap beneath the wall. The gap is very narrow maybe not much more than a swords breadth. There is no more evidence of the bug creatures here.

Blaze responds to Lomas' question, "Nothing in here that I can sense"

With just the corridors remaining, Michael leads the way north, or rather suggests that Lomas continue to lead. The corridor moves into the more rough hewn stone that previous tunnels have been. As you move away from the room the moisture level drops off a bit. The tunnel winds north for about 60 feet or so and slowly veers back to the west travelling another 40 feet or so. It ends in a T junction with a tunnel heading north and one heading south.

((OOC map up later, I dont have the software to make changes here at work. were someone making a really accurate map you would be at about the same N/S level as the entrance to Arithel's room about 50' east.))
