Darius draws his sword quickly from it's sheathe, making a "shing" sound, and puts the sword in his right hand, then extends both arms, and says"Well, I guess we're here. I'll go along with Kevin here." OOC: Makes a move silently check into the cave.
Gray Sparrow looks at the cave entrance behind the boulder. " I can see very well the dark. Oh, I my name is Gray Sparrow by the way." She says with a amused grin.
Please to meet you Nyela. Gray Sparrow? Pretty? I don't know about that. My teachers gave me that name because I had gray colored eyes and I flitted about like a crazy little bird.
Gray Sparrow is a brown haired young half elf girl of about 18 years of age. She has blue gray eyes and a heart shaped face with a small pug nose. Her body is lean and strong looking.
OOC - Need marching order. From what I could tell, it was Kevin first, with Darius by him. Nyela said she follows, so I am putting her next, with Nedander. Gray Sparrow last. If you want to change this, let me know. Otherwise I will use this order unless you specifically tell me to change it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peering into the entrance, Gray Sparrows eyes adjust quickly. She sees that the path is wide enough for two people to walk side by side, and appears to end about 30 feet down the tunnel.
As Nedander lights his lantern, the flame flickers for a few seconds, before gathering strength. The hallway lights up and the lights dance off of the walls. With Kevin heading in first, he sees the end of the tunnel, and sees that there is also a door to the left, and that the tunnel veers off to the right as well. Darius keeps his sword at the ready, waiting for a chance to use it.
Nedander follows the two fighters types, letting them make their way into the cave. His lantern is held at a height so that all can see in front. The movements of the two in front of him make shadows dance around as well. The walls are mainly of rock, and some patches of dirt. The floor is dirt as well, but not as loose as would be expected.
Nyela, with eyes wide and darting around to every nook and cranny, finds that this indeed is a sight to behold. The shadows sometimes change into menacing formations, but then again, they are just shadows. As she nears the end of the tunnel, she spies the door to the left.
Darius and Kevin see that the door is wooden, and opens inward, as the hinges are not present on this side. The door also looks old and rotted, for the lower corner is rotted away and is large enough for a small creature to fit through with some persistence. Peering to the right, where the tunnel veers off, you can make out that it continues for another 20 or so feet before turning to the left.
Nyela:
As you peer around cautiously, your astute ears pick up something definately different. You see that the tunnel wall directly facing the entrance has a set of odd looking holes facing the group. While staring at them, you can make out a faint sound. Almost as if a scuttering sound. As you try to listen closer, you trip on something on the ground, making you lose your balance and almost fall. Reactively, you catch yourself and prevent a little bruising. To your dismay, the sound has stopped suddenly. Not sure if it is coming from behind the door to the left, you can only guess.
Everyone else:
You have just walked into the cave and are at the junction, seemingly deciding which way to go when you see that the curious Halfling seems intent on something on the wall. As you watch her stare, and then see her ears twitch to some unheard sound, you can only guess what is happening. Then, as she starts backing away from the wall to listen to whatever she is hearing, her foot trips over something and she almost falls. As she catches herself, you can only imagine that if anyone were close by, they are sure to know someone else is close.
Nyela says softly, "I saw something.. ahead. There were holes in the wall... now it's gone."
Nyela looks up. She thinks whatever it was has climbed up the walls. She draws her sword, worrying the hilt with her thumb. She tries to concentrate on listening and seeing where the creatures(?) might have gone.
Kevin steps over to Nyela and offers her a hand up. He too peers into the darkness but he doubts his eyes are as good as hers.
"I say we see what's behind this door first before going after whatever you saw. If there is something behind there I don't want it between us and the way out. But someone should keep an eye out for the corridor too."
