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

[Ciaran]

"Tso-Nah, my friend," whispers Ken, "you think too much. Now shush, Cat's listening at the door."

 

[Jeph]

"Perhaps, my friend. Perhaps I shall give up my blades for books, someday. But not until the far future."

Are there any torches along the walls? If so . . .

Thinking that further rooms may require illumination, Tso-Nah sheathes one of his blades, pads over to a torch, and lifts it from it's bracket.

 

[Ciaran]

(If you go back and look at the previous page, you'll see that Ken is already carrying a lit torch. )

 

[Jeph]

(He does it anyway. Secret-passage openning attempt. )

 

[Wicht]

There are no secret passages that Tso-Nah can find in this short hallway.

Cat finds no traps on the door but even though the other two are talking, she can hear something moving on the other side of the wood. She can not determine what it is however. It sounds a little like someone sawing a board, only very slowly and with a dull saw.

 

[Ciaran]

"Do zombies snore?"

After Cat oils the hinges, Ken gently opens the door a couple of inches and shines the torch into whatever room or passage lies past the door.

 

[Wicht]

The room beyond is dimly lit. There seems to be carpentry everywhere. A figure with its back to the door is indeed slowly sawing on a board with a jagged edged blade.

 

[Tisvon]

Cat opens the door fully and says "Hello, what are you?" to the sawing figure.

 

[Ciaran]

Ken winces and mutters, "And I thought she was supposed to be the stealthy one..."

 

[Wicht]

The figure turns around, revealing a rot worn face. With a groan it lurches forward to attack.
