Legacy of the Silver Dragon: Chapter 1 (Chickens, Demons, and a Missing Girl)

[Voda Vosa]

"Aye, a secret like this is priceless; I'll gladly pay it's full cost." replies the dwarf, observing with solemnity as the elf gathers the sample, and then rushing after him.

Myst cautiously approaches where the tunnel curves right and takes a look at the ground where the creature was looking, to see if there is anything there that was interesting the creature. If nothing is found, he'll continue following it at a short distance.

OOC: Great responses everyone... I'll be back on Tuesday and able to post something to move things along then!

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Bosco slips to the back of the group, watching and listening for an ambush from behind.

As Myst approaches the corner, the torchlight catches the glint of something in the earth. Assuming he approaches closely enough, he notices some bones that appear blackened - similar to those found in the Gelatinous Cube earlier, and some darkened, slightly pitted, coins. The earth appears a bit softer here.

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

Myst moves near the bones, crouches down and takes a close look.

OOC: Are they blackened from age? Or from being burnt? Or from something else entirely? And the same with the coins. Are they pitted and darkened with age, or perhaps because they at one time were in the gelatinous cube? Or something else?

"What is it?" whispers Antares, trying to simultaneously peer over Myst's shoulder and down the corridor to the right -- he is, in fact, almost dancing from foot to foot in his eagerness to continue the pursuit, to not let this walking mystery simply get away...

[sblock=Actions]Gambler, is she slowing - stopping to look back, maybe - or arrowing out of sight as they speak? If she's slowing/stopping, Antares will take the time to look at the coins, to judge their origin and newness (common coin from the town, or something more exotic? I remind you that he collects them (as well as maps and any books he can lay his hands on/afford )).[/sblock]

OOC: Hi guys! I realize I forgot to mention it here, but I've been away all this week and won't really be back full time until the 26th. But will post a brief response here...

The pale shape of the cavern dweller disappears rather swiftly down the corridor wall, around what appears to be a corner to the left. Myst and Antares discover the following:

The bones appear much as the ones that had been found in the jelly like mass earlier in the corridors, except probably more pitted and darkened.

The coins, assuming Antares gives them a quick once over, look to be about the same size as the sterlings, although almost all markings are scored beyond recognition.

"Excuse me," asks the elf as he squeezes by his kneeling friend and then trots down the corridor in hot pursuit.

This... is probably not a good idea either. But to leave so many questions lie unsolved? And it *is* Anna - the very reason they are here - he just knows it!

OOC: Antares will pursue at least up to the corner to the left and look down *that* corridor.
