Vela makes her way towards the smaller opening that's illumined by blue light from within. Though the obvious magic is worrisome, she'd much rather have some kind of warning about dangers than be taken by surprise. She pauses just outside the opening and holds still to listen for any sounds of movement or otherwise...then cautiously peeks around the corner into the space beyond.

Xoria studies the pillar. The glyphs seem to be in Ur, but like the archways don't say anything in particular. It seems as if they are part of an enchantment that keeps the flame burning indefinitely, something more sophisticated than the sorcery taught by master Harthrax of Zor.
Vela looks inside the building. Beyond the entrance there is a long pillared hall, with a large blue flame burning in the centre. Some of the pillars have toppled over and shattered. She can just make out, on the far end of the hall, a throne on a dais. And on the throne, a figure. The flickering blue flame is in the way and makes it hard to make out detail.

Olmar waits quietly on the boat. He has no knowledge of magic or the language of the Ur, nor is his frame build for stealth. With nothing to see from here, he closes his eyes and concentrates on the sounds.

Listen +6, please say, when I can convert Reserve to Hit Points.

Olmar and William hear no sounds other than the gentle drip of water from elsewhere in the cavern.
Xoria steps into the chamber. The figure at the far end rises from its throne and shuffles forwards a few paces, towards the blue flame in the middle of the room. It looks like an ur-man, but an ancient one, swathed in tatty bandages. It wears a crown on its head, and holds a sickle in one hand.
"Who has come to disturb Montor Roth?" it asks. "He has slept since before the stars changed. Have his children remembered him at last?" Its voice is dry and cracked at first, gaining strength as the creature speaks.
[sblock=OOC]
Converting Reserve points - everyone else has had time on the boat ride to convert as many Reserve points to Hit points as they like. Olmar, who has been doing the grunt work, can now begin to convert.

"We hear him. Maybe gives new insight." Olmar answers quietly. He has no love for the Ur-Men, bur this one seems different to the others.

Xoria's jaw drops in awe, momentarily stricken with terror by the creature before her. But she recovers herself, electing to address the creature.
"I am Countess Xoria Aurelian of Zor," she says, speaking Ur. "My companions and I seek no quarrel with you, we are simply passing through this domain."
[sblock=OOC]
Is the creature speaking Ur? Or Basic? Xoria's answer will be in Ur, as she does not want to identify herself as "countess" to her companions.

Wade quickly backs into the shadows but since he saw that no hostile actions had been taken towards them he walks back into the light. he doesn't say a word letting the Xoria speak in the tounge of the Ur.
