[IC1] Pool of Radiance

[Thanee]

Noticing Kylest's hesitation, Elmus looks up to him and shakes his head, while pointing at the door. This, of course, makes Kylest just hesitate further, thinking the 'halfling' might have noticed something he has not. Elmus then vehemently shakes his head and shows him two thumbs up and a reassuring smile, then points at the door again (and makes a step back, just in case).

Kylest pushes against the door, but it only moves an inch before it comes to a halt, most likely being barred from the inside.

Kylest pauses and scratches at his beard as he considers the door. He could try and break it down, but a barred stone door. He considers his own strength for a moment, all this running around in Phlan, wielding his blade in battle. . . he feels stronger than in the past. But not that much stronger. He turns to the others and mimicing Elmus from a moment before he gives them a thumbs down gesture. He moves to try the right hand door, this time waiting for a go ahead from Elmus before testing the second door as well.

 

[Thanee]

The right door opens without much trouble. It does take some strength to push it open, but Kylest can muster enough power to do so.

While it is fairly dark inside the temple itself, some light does fall through the various windows around the building and allows to see the entire interior, which stretches over the full length of the huge building. Two rows of four columns each seperate the outer sides of the transept from the main hall. To the left and right, there are two doors each, leading to small rooms in the entrance area, while another four rooms, two on each side, are located on the far side of the temple.

Running along the side walls in almost twenty feet height, a catwalk can be seen, but it does look somewhat precarious and the wooden planks are broken or even missing in some areas. On the other side, where the altar must have been once, piles of rubble are scattered around a crude likeliness of a hand, made from wood and leather mostly, standing easily ten feet high.

Noone can be seen inside the temple.


Kordunn:
[SBLOCK]The two auras you picked up will most likely come from between the first and second column on each side.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Voadam]

Kordun gestures to between the first and second columns on each side. He heads to the right side, sword ready for an attack, looking for a foe.

 

[Mista Collins]

Gripping the handles of both his weapons a little harder, Selvaggio follows behind Kordun keeping his eyes open for any signs of possible danger.

Aylor Creegan

With sound not being a real factor, she moves into the sanctuary, doing her best to hide within the shadows of the temple. Come here little kitty, kitty…

 

[Krug]

Oog follows behind, trying to see if he can find any traps in the sanctuary.

 

[hafrogman]

Watching Kordun's directions, Kylest approaches the first pillar from the opposite side from his fellow, using the stones to conceal himself until he is directly upon whatever lies just the other side.

 

[Thanee]

Slowly, the adventurers advance deeper into the temple, where it is still shrouded in shadow and darkness. As the first few of them reach the closest pair of pillars, they spot two orcs hiding behind them, their falchions ready to strike. They do not seem very surprised as they shout something, but the silence makes it impossible to hear their voices.


Kylest:
[SBLOCK]You stand outside of the silenced area. They shout something short in orcish. It was probably not loud enough to alarm the orcs outside of the temple, though.[/SBLOCK]
