Barok finds nothing as he continues to rap on the section of wall that has hollow sounds. He sighs as he looks for a possible way to open the secret door that he believes to be there while Phly looks at the one unexplored passage to the north.

Caramip matches Barok's fustrated sigh with one of her own. Willing to leave this mystery alone for now she follows her fellow Gnome into the other room.

The party continues to the north and through a smooth, snaking tunnel that descends slightly while continuing onwards for what feels to be a few hundred feet of grime and mildew. At last the group arrives inside a large, circular antechamber that stands 120 feet in diameter. The ceiling is dome-like, but still looks solid despite its age. Wide columns of what appear to be carved from connecting stalagmites and stalactites spot the chamber in a seemingly random pattern. The center of the room dips like a bowl, where in the center lies a stone sarcophogus upraised on two parallel granite slabs. The sarcophagus is about 6 feet long and a foot in a half tall, while three statues of gnomes holding chains surround it. The statues appear to be pulling at the chains so there is no slack, while the chains themselves are wound around the sarcophagus' lid and body as if holding it in place. From your distance you can see that one chain glows a pale red, another a white, and the third a light blue aura.

As you enter the room you hear a strange sound behind a pillar about 20 feet to your right, which can only be described as something solid like metal or granite scraping against stone.

As Barok steps forward a squat, winged humanoid that looks almost as if made from sand and earth flies at the rogue and cuts him with a clawed hand as it flies by him. "They interrupt our worship, friends! Kill the intruders!" the creature shouts as two more earth-like creatures appear from behind pillars 40 feet to the right flank of the party and two others that look more crystalline appear 30 feet to the party's left.

OOC: Still waiting for the actions from the rest of the party. Regardless, expect an update Monday.

Silas is really very irritated. Exploring, making discoveries, theorizing... All of this disrupted by some creatures who are immediately hostile because of some unknown religious slight that he and his friends have unwittingly committed. "Enough!" Silas roars out. "We meant no disrespect. We are merely seeking answers. Stay your hand and we will lower our weapons."
Knowing he can sometimes be too forthright, or say the wrong things, Silas looks over at Caramip hoping that she will step up and use her easy way with people to settle the situation further.

One of the sand-like creatures snickers and says, "Ah you want to parlay? Perhaps you have some nice gems or treasures to give to us in order to avoid our little dance."
A second, more crystalline winged creature says as it peers from behind a pillar, "Or maybe you have something we can play with. Maybe we can play with that little one for awhile." It points at Caramip with a clawed finger, while the gnomish bard looks in disgust and loads her crossbow, obviously more intent to fight than parlay.

As your party chats, you can see the second crystalline creature and one of the three sand-like creatures slowly flitting from pillar to pillar to each of the party's rear flanks. They are currently approaching positions almost directly to the party's left and right.
