IndyPendant's Sunless Citadel

[jayaint]

These worhthless rats are a distraction... *sigh* Well, lets get it over with, so we can get out of this place that much sooner.

Ydyr seems distracted at hand... yet focused on the mission as a whole.

 

[IndyPendant]

Kuma peeks into one of the rooms through the ajar door, and in the dimness of what little lantern light leaks in, he sees...a large nest. Filthy with grime and feces, it has obviously been used for a long time by the vile creature. The nest seems to be made of straw, dead plants, and other detritus from the area. He can't see anything worthwhile, but perhaps by sifting through the revolting mess, he might find something of value...

Meanwhile, the others check the other doors to the small rooms, making sure they're shut tight.

 

[Mithran]

"I don't know about anyone else but I am growing to hate these overgrown vermin." While the others close the doors/root through rat nests Heirmund sits down to draw a map of the groups explorations thus far.

 

[Sorrow The Man Bear]

Lehko does not participate in the 'exploration' of the side chambers. He leans against the cleanest wall he can find and crosses his arms. Muttering to himself, he says loud enough for the others to hear, "If you really intend on going through that nest for shinies, I suggest a much faster method. The room is made with stone walls, just... burn it," his eyes dance at the suggestion. He is always restless, and this pointless (in his mind) dallying frustrates him, and he wants action.

As if something had just occured to him, Lehko kicks off the wall and kneels before Heirimund, studying the maps he draws a moment before speaking. "Tell me Heirimund, have you thought any on that word scrawled in the antechamber to the Dragon Room?" He pauses and then, stumbles over the pronunciation, "Ash-an-dra-lon."

 

[Mithran]

Heirmund looks up "Yes I have Lehko, and I know I've heard the word before." Heirmund goes back to scratching in his book for a moment then looks up again "I know it must mean something though... something important maybe..." Heirmund sighs "I don't know"

 

[JimAde]

Jerek returns from checking doors. "All set," he reports. Crossing the hall he says, "Kuma, have you found anything? Let's go."

 

[Shayuri]

Kuma draws his sword and roots around in the nest, grimacing in disgust as he pulls apart matted tangles of hair and bone and...other substances best not dwelled on.

"The nest's here all right. Just a moment."

 

[Voadam]

Jair turns to the kobold "Dragon keeper, can you tell us anything about Ashandalon?"

 

[jayaint]

Ydyr bends to examine the map, trying to memorize, or at least, familiarize himself with these dungeon halls.

 

[Mithran]

Heirmund looks up again at the group around him for a moment "Ashardalon, Jair" and then Heirmund is back to work on the maps.
