The group crowded around to get a better look at the altar.

The carvings on the front depicted some human-looking figures bowing before-- and being tread upon-- by reptile-headed overlords.

"Interesting..." said Brigitta.

"You think that's interesting," said Rawley, "you should take a look at this."

Rawley pointed at a seemingly extraneous, tube-like carving just below the top of the altar, flicking away some dried blood with his finger. "One on the other side, too."

"What?" said Bill, stepping closer.

"Bloody hell," said Haskins. "It's hinged."
 


OOC: I know what's coming and yet I got chills reading it. Well done Wulf. :eek:


Haskins swears. "Well I think Ms. Nielson may have found her goal. I'm not opening it without your say so though Ms. Nielson. Mr. Caryle why don't you and I get ready to lift from this side though. Mr. Brown, Mr. Hambrick, Mr. Sutton, I would appreciate if you would cover us, seeing as what jumped out of that pond was bloody enough surprises for today."

"uh, wha've we found? I don't see nuthin but a bunch o' snakes."

"oh, the big altar thing. Gotcha. I can help, if Brig wants it open."
 

T. Rawley reaches for his tobacco pouch and grunts when he realizes it's empty.

"Let's take a break here, before we rush into this thing," he says, irritated. "We've done been chewed on a couple of times for not taking a looksee before we jump. Can anyone tell if this thing's going to explode or shoot out arrows or anything if we open it?"

He gestures vaguely at the altar with his pistol, as he backs away.

"And does anyone have a smoke?"

OOC: I have no clue what's going to happen, but I'm tired of being chewed on...
 

"Don't go bloody soft on me now Sutton. I have some tobacco you can have later. If this things fires arrows or spears or cannon balls, opening it now or later won't really matter, if it needs to be opened. The sooner we find what Ms. Nielson wants the sooner we can all leave this bllody temple. Besides Caryle and I are opening it, we'll be the ones getting chewed on so you just stand back and aim careful like"
 

"Well knowing this place, the g*d damn roof will cave in and then set us on fire," Rawley growls. "Fine. Limey and Palooka will open the exploding box. I've got you Covered!"

Okay, okay... I know it's an anachronism...
