Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VII

[kirinke]

"Good enough." Teleri agreed, stretching a bit and scowled at the remains of the ooze. "One more reason not to like underground places," she added wryly. "Slimes and oozes... Bad."

 

[Dhes]

“I suggest that for the rest of our stay down here we just stay clear of anything that looks remotely interesting.” Making sure he is clear of slime, Dunstand eyes the dagger in Broddy’s hand, “That's a fine dagger you have there Broddy.”

 

[kirinke]

"My sentiments exactly friend Dunstand." Teleri said. "But on the other hand, I have a feeling that those interesting things will find us whether we look for them or not."

"We will be more prone to being found out if we linger too long in one place. I encourage you to make your investigations quickly, my friends," Calenthang urges from the shadows gloomily.

 

[Verbatim]

"Aye Calenthang, you are correct in that as well. Master Dunstand, will you guide us out of here please."

 

[Majin]

Following Dunstand a shortways east, the tunnels come to an end, entering into a T-shaped room, flooded with murky water. Against the walls stand thirteen sarcophagi, their lids carved to resemble priestly figures with clenched fists and terrible scowls. Stylized lightning bolts adorn the sides and edges of these stone caskets.

Entering the room and seeing the sarcophagi, Ayden approaches one the examine the markings on it more closely. If this was the resting place to those of the clergy, Ayden wished to know who had made this place their home, as well as who could still be waiting on them further in.

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang grimaces noticeably as Ayden goes to the sarcophagi none too cautiously. He circles around behind the cleric and approaches the same sarcophagus from the opposite side.

 

[Verbatim]

Looking up from the enclosed coffin that he had been examining, Ayden gestured with his hand towards the burial chamber.

"In theory Calenthang, we may be in the burial chambers of a once flourishing church, or cult. Thirteen tombs means this was more than a passing stop for these people. I will try to examine these closely, but should anything try to come out that was once closed in, please feel free to encourage me to cut my examining short."

Ayden's tone was light, but he had no doubt that the warrior saw through his forced levity.

~Lightening bolts...were these people followers of nature, or of the element itself?~

Running his fingers over the carvings in order to clear some of the grime away, Ayden resumed his search for answers.

 

[Velmont]

"Those have found the eternal rest. Leave them undisturb." suggests Sielwoodan with detachment. He looks at the room and the decoration. I've seen that somewhere... By Selune, is it related to Talos?
