Marked By Destiny, Marked by Tragedy Part 2 (No Judge Yet)

"It only affects those who would be valid targets for Aberrant Dragonmarks. Specifically, that means no Warforged, and no true mark wearers."

Silvanon rolls his eyes at Brelach,"Don't fret -- if you start acting loony, we'll put you down."

The goings on in the catacombs beneath the ground doesn't faze Silvanon too much, as he has been in much worse places in the past. However, the oddly abherent human(?) has the hairs on the back of his neck standing up. A tight grip on his swords hilt in its sheath is all that is preventing him from losing it -- he can't stand abherations.

Actions?

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Alys will nod and smile to the man, who sems satisfied with his meal as far as we can tell, and then she will direct them onward, still in formation and watching the man to make sure he doesn't go nutso and jump them. Otherwise--onward!*

 

[Patlin]

The party moves on, leaving the crazy, distorted man gnawing on the rations. You soon find the entrance to a cavern, and you can see that an eerie glow comes from somewhere inside.

 

[Rystil Arden]

'Since we are already inoculated or just plain immune, the group need not fear the primary effect of being down here, but...'

"Okay, now we have to be extremely careful for several reasons. First, there are terrible things down here that will otherwise kill us. Second, we don't know exactly where to go any more. What we want to do is collect aberrant samples and try to find the source, if we can do so and there is one to find. I think the gnome said that researchers should be able to use the samples and the source sample to create a cure, but I bet if we smash the source, if possible, that would be good too--like when the Merlock Gnomes crushed the Dragonruby of Despair!"

"Anyone have a preference for which way to go?"

 

[s@squ@tch]

OOC: How well lit is this cavern? Anyone have darkvision? Silvanon has low-light vision, but not dark.

"If we don't want to just burst into the cavern, I might as well scout ahead, could be some nasties in there who want more than trail rations..." Silvanon says as they reach the entrance to the cavern.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Excellent idea--it may be trapped. Let's all check, actually," and by all, Alys really only refers to those who are good at finding traps, which includes a lot of them, taking 20 on a search for traps at the cavern entrance.

Weapon pulls out his blade, and rests it on his shoulder. He checks the readiness of his other weapons then waits for them to actually decide on a course of action.

 

[Wik]

"Yeah" Brelach, muses. "But let's speed things up. Quicker is better."

He thinks for a moment. "Why don't we keep an eye open in different directions, or help each other out."

OOC: Why don't we each make a single two search checks, instead of taking 20? I mean, there's 3 of us - meta-game speaking, we should easily average a fairly high roll.

 

[Bront]

"Destroying the source and collecting some samples seems good," Arvan says.

Arvan keeps his eyes open as he waits, ready to grab his axe if need be.
