Iron Heroes: A Saga of Might

Xoria looks again at the blue flame in the pit, then makes her way down to the shale beach. She casts about, eventually finding a relatively wide, flat stone. Tearing a strip off her tattered clothing, she knots it tightly, then immerses it in the river. She sets the soaking rag on the stone and returns to the pit.
She carefully slips the stone and rag into the pit, trying to let the cool flame lap the rag without letting it touch her fingers.
OOC: She's trying to see if the flame will burn outside the pit, if given a source of water. The idea is to make a lamp that burns water. Of course, if this does work, the group will have to be careful to avoid setting the river on fire. Unless they want to.

William walks to the entrance of the cave and watches Xoria doing her work.
After a short while he calls out to Wade and Olmar "Maybe one of you should take that sickle, would be handy to have a decent weapon if we head the wrong way."
William then turns to searching the chamber to see if he can find any clues or anything useful.

Xoria nods in satisfaction. "That's one problem solved," she tells her companions. "It will burn as long as we keep it wet. But we can't let the flame touch the river, or it may set the whole thing on fire."
Vela frowns. "What we need is rope...something we can use to explore one of these passages and still have a way to escape if it's the wrong way."
She looks down at herself and scowls. "We could make our clothes into something workable...but we haven't enough to make a very long one that way."

"I still have chain." Olmar says, pointing at the steal he wrapped around his body.

Wadee had sat down after his blow and the death of the creature to let the shaking in his teeth settle and to catch his breath. During that time he examined the sickle. It was not a weapon that he knew how to use with any potency but it might be good to have around so he grabbed it and kept it in his left hand since he really didn't have any where else to put it.
Wade walks out of the cave and catches Vela comments, "Well I don't know how well it will hold but boy over in the tomb was wrapped in somtin', maybe that could work?"

The wrappings on the remains of Montor Roth are dry and crumbly on the outside, but there are enough strands that Wade can splice them together into a fairly strong rope, which ends up about 400 ft. in length. The creature within the bandages is an emaciated ur-man, its skin so dry and taut it is practically a skeleton.
The rope is probably not long enough to allow for extensive exploration of the tunnels, but will at least mean that a preliminary search can be made safely (you hope).

Using the rope made from the wrappings of Montor Roth, the group explore the first few hundred metres of the two river tunnels. A short way down the left hand tunnel are Ur-man glyphs that Xoria interprets as some kind of warning. The right-hand tunnel has no such marking.

Xoria can access the residual magic in the headband to grant her up to three extra points of mana, although these are one-use only.
The sickle is classed as "magic" as far as overcoming damage reduction is concerned, but if it has any other powers they remain locked for now.
