Ken'ichi, Cat and Marius enter Wicht's Lair

[Tisvon]

OOC: the Dread Gazebo! Run!

IC: "I REALLY hate this place already. I propose that we go in and if that thing so much as moves, kill it."

 

[Ciaran]

Ken cautiously approaches the open-air structure to see what’s lurking inside.

 

[Jeph]

Tso-Nah creeps around from the other side, hoping to catch whatever that creature is between himself and Ken.

 

[Wicht]

I didn't say creature, i said something

In the center of the structure is a long pedestal with a coffin atop it. The coffin is closed. Five rows of seats are arranged facing the coffin.

North of the coffin on the pedestal is what could be a room. It is a square marble structure, about six feet to a side, with a door on the south end. The top of the marble cube does not reach the bottom of the ceiling over head.

 

[Jeph]

"Well, we know that undead spring up heer like mushrooms after rain, and that coffin is . . . well, a coffin. Could be anything in it." Tso-Nah looks at it from all angles, trying to find an inscription or some other hint as to its occupant.

 

[Ciaran]

“Well, we did manage to get here in the morning, so we can hope that the undead aren’t as strong as they might be,” muses Ken. “Anyway, there’s only one way to find out what’s in here.” With that, he flips the coffin open.

 

[Tisvon]

Cat grimaces and waits for something really, really, bad to happen.

 

[Ciaran]

(Well, hopefully this won't kill us all. And I've finally just finished reading most of the other Wicht's Lair threads, so I now know where the goblins are supposed to be. I also suspect that the ancient masters don't like us very much, or they would have given us better directions. Let's assume that the easy victory over the skeletons has made Ken cocky. If we live through whatever nightmare comes out of the coffin, we'll go someplace a little less dangerous...)

 

[Jeph]

(Like, to a hospital? )

 

[Tisvon]

(Although we might get an all-expenses paid trip to the morgue.)
