IndyPendant's Sunless Citadel

[Shayuri]

"And I suppose," Kuma grunts sourly, "that your 'leader' Calcryx chose to spend his days in a cage that he obviously clawed his way out of the first chance he got?"

He shakes his head.

"Enough tales. If we are nearing goblins, let us proceed quietly."

Kuma then shoots a grin at Meepo, and can't resist adding, "They are more dangerous than what we've found here up until now."

 

[Mithran]

Heirmund speaks quietly "This is most interesting Meepo. But my... tact-impaired friend here does have a point about the need for silence perhaps we can speak more later."

 

[IndyPendant]

Jair can tell that there have been only a small amount of people moving through this room in the past six months, but he cannot determine more than that, and Terrek seems unable to discover the scent again. Meepo goes obediantly silent as Jerek opens the north door.

Dust and odd bits of stony debris and rubble lie scattered on the floor of this 30 by 20 foot room. An ornate fountain is built into the eastern wall; though it is cracked, stained, and long dry, the fountain's carving of a diving dragon retains its beauty. A relief-carved stone door stands on the western wall, and a wide hallway extends northward into darkness.

 

[Voadam]

Jair whispers to the kobold "Meepo, how far does your knowledge of this area run? Let me know when we reach the limits of the areas you know. For now lead on, unless that was the end of your knowledge. If so we will continue North."

 

[IndyPendant]

Meepo draws himself up. "Meepo know all about dragons. Meepo not care about vile goblins!"

You continue north, and the hall quickly widens into another room, roughly 40 by 20 feet. This one is bare except for another door to the west, this one wooden. The hall continues north again from here, and you can see more wooden doors on either side of the hall, most likely leading to a double line of rooms. The hall continues north to the limit of the lantern's light.

 

[Voadam]

"I'm tempted to check out every door we pass for a thorough investigation, but I believe our best chance to find the prisoners is to go straight down the main hall until Terrek picks up the scent again or there is a dead end."

 

[Voadam]

"So Meepo, I am interested in hearing more about Calcryx and that dragon chamber with the broken cage. Please explain further."

 

[JimAde]

Jerek shrugs and moves off down the corridor, keeping his eyes open for trouble.

 

[Shayuri]

Kuma accompanies Jerek, clearly having no particular desire to hear the yapping of the kobold any longer than he must.

 

[Sorrow The Man Bear]

Lehko will hang back with the lantern, keeping as much of the group well lit as possible (excepting of course if Jerek or any of the others wishes to be in the dark, Hiding or the like). He seems to have taken quite an interest in Meepo, and wishes to hear more from the little dragonkin. He does seem to relax a little bit once the party enters the larger rooms, but still appears a bit jumpy. He eyes never stop probing the darkness and gloom. "My skin crawls in this place. I agree with Jair for now, we should press on. Meepo, what was this place that is it so grand?"
