Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VII

[Verbatim]

Glancing up once more as he shifted his position on one of the sarcophagi, Ayden nodded his head in agreement.

"I have no desire to wake these souls from their slumber, but I would like to know who put them here."

 

[Majin]

Recalling back to his elementary studies of other gods and religions, Ayden can confirm that the signs carved into the sarcophagi are dedicated to the god Talos.

Looking about cautiously at the surrounding area as Ayden examines the markings, Calenthang notices a flicker of light shining through the middle sarcophagus where it meets the southern wall.

“That's a fine dagger you have there Broddy.”

"Yes, yes it is." Broddy replies with a wide grin. "If you would like it you can have it, although I would suggest to weild it carefully. It might be magical and could have some nasty effects." He tells Dunstand as he hands him the dagger.

Following the others Broddy eyes the murky water, any depth of water is never good when your one of the shorter races, he tries to measure how deep the water goes with his staff.

"Anything interesting yet Ayden?"

 

[Majin]

Broddy easily determines that the water is only one foot deep.

Teleri keeps alert for any sign of trouble. Knowing this group the way she does, it's probly a good idea to do so....

"Ready your bow, friend Sielwoodan!" Calenthang hisses, pointing in the direction he saw the light, and drawing his sword with his other hand. He goes to investigate apprehensively; the archer's bow may prove useless if it's another wisp. After a struggling internal monologue, the elven warrior swallows hard before bringing himself to say what he does next.
"Teleri, put that sword of yours to use," he grudges the flippant fighter, motioning for her to join him.
I will surely look a fool if there is no need, but I'd rather look a fool erring on the side of caution...

 

[Verbatim]

Glancing over towards the gnomish mage, Ayden dusted his hands off against his pant leg before speaking.

"These markings were made by those who followed Talos the Destroyer. If this is a burial ground for them, we have to assume they have wards protecting those placed here from would be looters."

Turning as he saw the others approaching one of the sarcophagi in the back of the room, Ayden called out quickly to them all.

"Stay your hands from opening anything Calenthang. The wards will be in homage to their god if my guess is correct, and I doubt any of you would care to feel one of Talos' bolts in person."

Turning to face the scout, Ayden motioned to the sarcophagi in question.

"Master Dunstand, perhaps you should examine the tomb that Master Calenthang has found interesting? If it is trapped, look for sigils worked into the stone somehow as that is how wards are placed."

 

[Velmont]

"That would be an old temple of Talos?"

Sielwoodan remembered his father once that he was praying Talos during one of the worst storm he ever seen. His father told him that every god should be respected and honored. Good gods will help you, evil gods will spare you. Sielwoodan thinks it fits well the gods that his temple have been half destroy by the nature force. The god might have chosen himself this faith for his temple. If it is the case, he might doesn't like the coming of non-follower in his temple. A quick word to Selune and Talos, Sielwoodan ready his bow at Calenthag's word.

Teleri draws StormArmour and stands by Calenthang, giving him enough room to manuver should there be cause to.

"If you would like it you can have it, although I would suggest to weild it carefully. It might be magical and could have some nasty effects." He tells Dunstand as he hands him the dagger.

Carefully taking the dagger from Broddy, “I’ll keep it save till we know what its mystery is.”

The rogue carefully places the dagger in his belt pouch, before he leads the party onwards trough the twisting corridors.

Dunstand looks at the tombs, and listens to Ayden’s explanation of the markings. “So do these followers of Talos lay there dead rest with treasure or do they just stick them in there?”

Not waiting on a reply the rogue goose over to the tomb pointed out by the priest and carful start to inspect it. The last time I tried to do this I got jump by slime.
