'Foes Phren?'Phren looks up at it's master Phren and silently answers the telepathic enquiry I sense no one my masterA moments idle thought as Kelderen shakes the aftereffects of mental transport...Kelderen feels some trepidation observing the granite corridor - what dangers lie in the ancient depths? Although more importantly, what opportunities?He pulses to the minds of the inquisition:I hunger to see the secrets of this place. Let us progress.After consulting the brainmate, the already shadowy Laevictus disappears entirely and begins slowly stalking down the hallway.The Dark Illithid's telepathic 'voice' has an unnerving deadness to it, bereft of the usual emotional undertones. Scouting ahead for hazards now. I will let you let you know when it is safe to proceed.Every few moments subsequently, Laevictus sends another telepathic pulse to provide updated position information.Disappearing from sight Laevictus slips silently down the  gently sloping corridor cautiously searching for hidden traps and finding none.After proceeding eastwards for about forty minutes along a downward-sloping passage, Laevictus comes at last to a T intersection, with a short hallway continuing to the north and another leading south.  A large eight-pointed star design has been chiselled into the stone floor at the intersection.  The points of the star are entirely cleaned out, as if something is meant to be inset into shallow depression.Stopping at the intersection Laevictus relays this information to it's companions who've been following along approximately 100 feet behind it.Spell Effects SummaryLaevictus: Invisible 3 minutes duration (I'll assume that Laevictus activates the ring at regular intervals)[sblock=OOC: ]You get the impression that due to the Githyanki invasion, that the Elder Brain os getting close to desperation.  Rumour has it that many Inquisitions are being sent on similar mission, in the hope of finding potential weapons.Lagurno is situated within 100 miles of Greyhawk city and is located deep underneath the Nyr Dyv.Maure Castle is east of Greyhawk and south of the Cairn Hills, the closest city to Maure is Seltaren. Also SW of Maure Castle is the Abbor-Alz Mountains which contains caverns which lead into the underdark.  The complex you find yourselves in is a little known part of Maure Castle  Dungeons about a mile west of the actual location of Maure Castle.History:A thousand years ago hundred of thousands of civilised westerners fled east from the horrors of the Twin Cataclysms.  The wickedest migrants were the Suel. They mourned the loss of their decadent empire, whose unthinkably potent Mages of Power had called down the Invoked Devastation upon their enemies only to find themselves annihilated by the retributive Rain of Colorless Fire.Of the Mages of Power, only Slerotin survived the conflagration.  Slerotin the Wily. The One Possessed, a wizard with no equal in the ways of arcane science.  Slerotin died within weeks of his last great work, the magical creation of a miles-long tunnel that allowed eleven Suel tribes to flee their devastated homeland for safety in the east.A clutch of Suel warlocks, servitors, artist, intellectuals, petty nobles, and cultist split from their fellow migrants. Under the leadership of Slerotin's eight mighty apprentices, these misfits formed House Maure, a new family built upon the precepts of arcane exploration and immortality.  They ruled their subjects from the imposing Maure Castle, a monolithic edifice carved of night-black granite.As decades passed the scions of House Maure grew more and more insular.  Public appearances by the family's eldest members grew less and less frequent.  Eventually, the Maure sealed themselves within their castle, abandoning the outside world to focus on their own concerns.~~~~Maure Castle is south of where the Githyanki have set themselves up in the old Empire of Iuz and it is unlikely that any Githyanki would be interested in the abandoned ruins of Maure Castle.[/sblock]</blockquote>
