Memories and Portents Chapter#1: A Dark and Stormy Knight

"With my skills it is no wonder it was fast" Ardan grins, and then start searching the room.

 

[Asmor]

"Umm, am I the only one just a tiny bit freaked out by the whole flying shrieky head thingie?? What the hell was that thing?!?"

After settling down a bit, Antonus searches the room, paying special attention to the sarcophagus.

OOC:
Search +9. If nothing is found on the sarcophagus from a quick check, I'll take 20.

"Umm, am I the only one just a tiny bit freaked out by the whole flying shrieky head thingie?? What the hell was that thing?!?"

Soto shakes his head and says "Um... No you are NOT alone." He wanders over to the sarcophagus and looks around to see if anyone is watching.

Xerxes looks at the less brave members of the party. "I fear I am unable to relate to your fear of that thing. Perhaps it is my metal nature, but I did not feel anything out of the ordinary from that thing's shreaking, though I can surmise that it adversely affected you. The only thing I noticed is that it was rather demonic in appearance, perhaps something not of this world. I am probably wrong, however."

 

[Asmor]

"...and demonic flying heads are just par for the course for you? You'll have to excuse me... Worst I ever faced was an ugly gambler who'd somehow got the impression I was cheating him. This place gives me a bad, bad feeling... Maybe we should leave and find some other shelter for the caravan." Antonus turns and mumbles under his breath, "Never did figure out how Sharkie discovered the cards were marked..."

 

[Paper_Bard]

Xerxes points to his back incredulously. "Dost thou think I would be walking around with enough weapons to fill an armory if I didst not have to use them? I have fought several battles in my time.... short as it has been."

Trys: Soto Grabapples

Soto shakes his head and "tisk tisks"
"Surely there is a better way to use this time gentlemen. Let us continue to rout out any further nastyness." The halfling says as he searches the sarcophagus.

 

[Enforcer]

Kaine focuses on any lurking shadows rather than his companions' chatter. He's ready for anything to jump out of the sarcophagus as well.

[sblock=OOC Actions]More Spot and Listen. Kaine will leave Search checks to those with ranks in it.[/sblock]

 

[SecondTime]

The room is largly barren. When the party opens the broken sarcophagus, there is nothing but a mound of dust collected at the things feet...and something shiny. Upon closer inspection. it appears to be a ring, studded with a large cloudy stone.

Gregorious: You recognize the stone in the ring as a Khyber dragonshard, the suppossed remnants of one of the three progenitor dragons that compose the world. Such stones are typically used in the magic of binding.

 

[Nightbreeze]

Dear misters, this is a dragonshard ... it's used for magic binding. We may sell it for some good price, or we may as well keep it.
