From Citadel to Bastion: The Sunless Citadel

[Vargo]

Khaira looks around the room, but does not set foot in it...

OOC: Does Khaira recognize the artistic style of the sarcophagi, perhaps as belonging to a certain period of elvish history, sect, etc.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

The shrine is carved with dragons. The candle's wick is generating light, but the candle's wax is not melting. Next to the candle are two items: a small whistle and a potion flask. There are Dwarven words inscribed on the whistle.

Khaira has never seen anything like these sarcophagi, nor heard of elves with such a fascination for dragons.

 

[novyet]

"What you got there Khaira?" Farah takes a look around at the srachophagi, and then at the whistle and flask.

 

[Vargo]

"I'd tell you if I had a clue, but I haven't seen anything like this before. I'd like to get a look at that whistle, I can probably read it, but before we go poking around the tomb, it might be a good idea to know if anything's magical in there. Anybody memorize a Detect Magic today?"

 

[novyet]

"Always be prepared!" Says Farah with a small smile, as she chants the incantation for detect magic. If the items glow, she'll investigate them. "You said there is writing on the whistle? Wonder if I can read it."

OOC ---> Casting detect magic, and checking the items. I'll also try and read the dwarven inscription on the whistle.

 

[StalkingBlue]

"Is it magic? Is it magic?" Moon is dancing with excitement, on tiptoe in front of the altar. He has neither eyes nor ears for anything but the candle now.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

The whistle, the candle, and the potion all radiate magic. There is also a low amount of necromantic magic apparent inside each sarcophagi.

The dwarven writing on the whistle (which also radiates a necromantic aura) is Azangund ("Night Caller").

 

[novyet]

"All three are magical, as well as an aura of black magic in the sarcophagi. And the whistle's inscription is Azangund, or Night Caller. I'm not sure if it's a clue to it's function, or it's command word. All right, let's grab them and keep moving. The sarchophagi are making me a little uncomfortable." Farah shifts nervously until the group decides to leave the room, at which point she will follow.

 

[StalkingBlue]

Moon does not wait to be asked twice. He grabs the candle and the other two items and makes for the door, his eyes shining greenly in the candle's light.
Black magic ... I suppose that means we don't want to try and look in there, he thinks as he passes the sarcophagi.

 

[garyh]

Quendros readies an action to turn anything that pops up out of the coffins as the group exits the room.
