[LPF] Faith and Good Works

[GlassEye]

Orlando Furioso, Venzan bravo

Fury looks sheepish as Breninyr summons up his magical sight. The bravo then performs a ritual invoking magical sight so he can see for himself what Breninyr described.

"Wait, Cythera, we won't need to go out. It's so simple, yet I would never have thought of it."

Grinning, he follows the magical path across the room.

[Systole]

Following the magical marks, Fury traverses the room without incident. Bren and Cythera follow, although the warrior maiden has a few tense moments when her husky is unsure where he is supposed to step. The far side of the room ends in a stone staircase, which circles down into the heart of the mountain. Whatever the vibration is, the stairway seems to go in the direction of it.

And inscription at the top of the stairs reads:

Thou hast prov'd worthy. The Architect awaites thee.

​

GM: So simple, you'd never have thought of it? Bah! I only mentioned what color the room is FOUR TIMES. I'll need a marching order, please. Until the stairway ends, you'll be walking single file.

Cythera e'Kiernan, Bronze Dragon Disciple

Cythera lets go of the husky, Carak proved to have a bit of trouble seeing the magical path for some reason. "You need to work on your cantrips, boy. Carak, guard Bren."

"Okay, do you want me to lead the way, Fury? Or follow right behind you?."

She has her glaive in hand, ready to head on down the stairs.

Carak looks up at the cleric, watching his every move. It is likely he will follow Bren around until given other orders.

Bren reaches down absently to scratch Carak between the ears as the huge dog attaches himself to his side.

Orlando Furioso, skeptical Venzan bravo

Fury eyes the stairwell as if sizing up an opponent for a duel before turning back to Cythera to respond to her question.

"I don't trust this place. So, I'll take point and scout for any traps that this fiendish Architect might have laid out for us." Grinning he nods over at Breninyr. "Unless you want to put those keen eyes to work, Bren, and go first and see what you can find?"

Bren nods affirmatively, almost eager. "I'm happy to do so, of course, if you think I'm better suited to the task!"

Orlando Furioso, Venzan bravo

Fury motions towards the staircase.

"Your eyes haven't failed us, yet. Be my guest. With the reach Cythera has on that glaive of hers she'd be best to protect you from a few steps back. I'll keep the rear guard though I don't think we really have to worry about anything coming up behind us in this place."

[sblock=OOC]This order, then: Breninyr (keeping an eye out for anything unusual with a Perception +15), Cythera, then Fury.[/sblock]

Cythera e'Kiernan, Bronze Dragon Disciple

Cythera shifts the husky to protect and follow her down the stairs, thinking his keen sense of smell will be useful. "Maybe he needs to follow directly behind Bren, but perhaps it will not matter. I am not expecting his nose to really pick up any scents of critters. Not much sense to think there will be any down here anyway."

She has her glaive in hand and follows after Bren.

Carak

 

[Systole]

You head down the staircase as it spirals down into the mountain. With every step, the vibration grows louder until it sets your teeth on edge, and Carak's ears are pressed flat against his skull. Bren is coming around what seems to be the last turn, and he can see a few square feet of a floor, or perhaps a landing when he stops short.

Below you, there are voices, speaking Common of all things. Because of the noise, you can only make out a few words here and there. "...hate it here..." "...this blasted noise..." "...piss on this doctor and his contraptions..." "...wish I'd gone to Venza..." "...did you hear..." "...just the machinery..."
