[LPF] Into the Wilds Part 1

[Sezarious]

"Creepy statue time everyone! How exciting! Let me just give it the once over for magic... Can someone else check for boring old mundane traps? The Shaman had one so..." Regar bags his book for the moment and as quietly as possible, re-casts detect magic. He will move forward with the rest of the party checking for any magical auras coming from anywhere, particularly the big statue and the gemstones. He will then try to determine the type of magic or identify any spell present if any with a spellcraft check. [roll0]

Snorri Ironaxe

[section]
Snorri comes up from behind the rest of the group to inspect the sculptures craftsmanship. Unsure of it's origin, or if it is an abomination of a previous idol. He focuses on the statue, clearing his mind and slowing his step, hearing only the beat of his heart.

Kepli Stormborn


Kepli blinks at Regar's recitation of the previous conversation. 'That boy is crazy.' She shrugs and turns back to the grotesque statue. She could analyze it like Regar is doing but she just stares at it instead.

"Those gem eyes must be valuable." She isn't quite bold enough to climb up and pry them out just yet.

Maenor Thandgur

[section]

Maenor's eyes burn with an almost inhuman greed as he gazes at the statue's eyes. "Indeed I bet they are. That's just the sort of thing I'm here for." I wonder if they'd fetch a fair price. He gazes a them a while longer, pondering whether or not they are worth the trouble.

[Deuce Traveler]

As the party moves closer, they perceptively notice a couple things that give them pause. First, those two gemstones indeed look quite valuable, but you likely will need to climb up to them to see better, or to pry them loose. Second, you are probably not the only ones who have thought so. Several humanoid bodies and piles of bones lay in horrible states of decomposition beneath the gemstones. Only one of them could be a goblin, and you realize there are no other signs that the goblins come into this room, and the floor is caked by a layer of old dust. The goblins must find this place as too dangerous and avoid it.

Snorri
[sblock]
You have found a place of worship for an ancient dwarven cult dedicated to the dwarven 'Dark One'. The cult believes that the flesh is a prison, and have been known to mutilate themselves and others in order to practice their faith. They not only shun the flesh, but also material worth as inconsequential and beneath them. They see the desire for physical metals and gems as a weakness and aberration that must be purged from the mind. Of course, this makes them even stranger compared to other dwarves and the cult never claims large membership. It is odd to see valuable gemstones in such a place of worship.
[/sblock]

OOC: If you want to search more of the area, I need details of where you are looking (walls, base of statue, bodies, etc) so I know where you are...

The only obvious exit is the way you came.

Kepli Stormborn


Kepli finds the statue to be a bit disconcerting. Okay, quite a bit disconcerting and she finds that she feels better once she turns away. She notices the broken tiles. 'Tile?' She begins poking through the rubble, curious about the tiles, and wondering if this chamber had, at one time, a tiled floor. If so, this was definitely not goblin work.

"Thank you, Madam Obvious," she muttered to her self with a giggle. Speaking a bit louder to all her companions: "What kind of place was this, do you think?"

[Deuce Traveler]

Kepli discovers that the tiles are often etched in a flowing style common in dwarven flowing script. What is more, there is hard packed dirt and stone underneath the surface of the tiles, making it unlikely that death came from underneath.

Snorri Ironaxe

[section]

The sounds around him diminishing, until only his heartbeats are heard, slowly growing louder, resounding like pick axes on cavern walls. Old memories told by the miners in their songs as the chase the veins into the very heart of the mountains,

'dare we not delve to deep,
as we tunnel and carve, pick and pit
for gold and gem to claim and keep
as is our right of old, but them
that sleep not, care not for it
they who starve for our souls
to share their dark god's goals

so quietly quake and do not wake them.'*​

The memory fading, until only the sounds of his heart hammering in his chest, then drowned out by the noise of his party.

Stowing his crossbow, holding his hand out to prevent Kepli from moving closer. In response to Brog,"Aye, tis not good this, not good at all..." looking toward the others, "Careful we dinnae unfetter a curse, be an idol of unholy worship," and then knowingly at Brog, he mutters,"...djup dvärgar," the words snarling out. Unshouldering his shield, he holds it raised between him and the statue, the emblem of his faith emblazoned there upon the kite. "By Regar's good eye, I denounce you, dark one!"
