[GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

"I"m for heading back out. 'Haps theres another place got more of what you're seeking."

 

[Fenris]

"I think we may be out of options other than, digging and wading through more snakes back at the little temple." says Haskins

 

[ragboy]

"Do we have anything on our horses that could help with the snakes?" T. Rawley said. "My Daddy used to smoke snakes out of their dens. We could smoke them out and check out this little temple."

You could get something together, I'm sure.

They might also be docile, like the ones in the other room.

"Sheesh. I guess you're right Rawley. We came this far, we need to finish the job.
If anyone is fit to peek in that hole and not get bit, it's like to be me.

Unless somebody else wants to offer up?"

Joshua will head back that way.

T. Rawley follows.

It was beginning to dawn on Brigitta that not only was she the only one who'd know what she was looking for when she saw, she was also obviously the only one with any experience searching around old tombs and temples.

She'd brought them along for their brawn, not their brains, a strategy that was beginning to show its flaws despite the many dangers the men had seen her through.

Brigitta

Brigitta's head hurts.

She closes her eyes and mentally categorizes their path thus far...

Everything seems to point to the first serpent strewn room, but the thought of wriggling through a writhing den of snakes makes her break out in a cold sweat. Still...

She sighs heavily.

"Well, gentlemen, there seems to be only one route we haven't full explored. Perhaps the reptiles will leave us alone if we don't offer them harm. Let us return to that chamber and see what we can find."

As they begin to retrace their steps, Brigitta wracks her brain for any clue she might be missing...

[OOC: Brigitta will make an INT check to see if there is anything she is forgetting since they have entered the complex...an overlooked clue or side passage...roll is a "15"...http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=169571]

Was she expecting something large and obvious? Or was what she was looking for going to be something more subtle?

She hated to admit it, but they hadn't really done more than a walk-through of the area, though it was hard to blame anyone for rushing through some of the more unsavory parts of this complex.

Perhaps she'd have to do a more thorough search of each room, no matter how unpleasant it seemed.

With that in mind, of course, the serpent-filled temple did seem the most likely place to start.

[OOC: Something with a flashing neon sign that says "Start here, morons!" ]

Brigitta rolls things over in her mind as they walk and makes a firm decision.

"Gentlemen," she calls, "we will check the snake chamber...carefully. If that yields no clues, then we will take a bit to rest and perhaps eat a bit, and then start working our way back through methodically. I apologize for not insisting on a more careful search on our way in...but my...er...excitement got the best of me. We are getting close...I can feel it...we just need to turn over the right rock, as it were."

She fervently hoped her voice did not betray her own rising misgivings...
