Message: <blockquote data-quote="crazy_monkey1956" data-source="post: 4471135" data-attributes="member: 49514">Aleera nods at Valen's suggestion and the two scouts begin stealthily skirting the perimeter of the odd building while the others approach directly.Muzdum leads the way, Aohdan close behind, with Alaric taking a moment to cast his spell and Johen and William toward the back, Johen enhancing the paladin's strength with a spell of his own.  Finally, Corath brings up the rear, warily scanning the plateau.Most of the buildings on the plateau are simple stone huts, having the appearance of temporary residences for mine workers.  Ten years of harsh weather have worn away the surfaces of these buildings, leaving little to distinguish them from eachother.The out of place building is made of a black, shiny stone and is roughly three stories tall and thirty feet on a side.  There doesn't appear to be any entrances or windows of any sort.  The type of stone is unsettlingly familar to the dwarf, shadowstone, a type of stone only found in dwarven lands.  The Shadowstone Road seperates the hill dwarves from the mountain dwarves and is said to take the souls of any who die there.  Quarrying the stone is against the most sacred of dwarven laws.  And yet, here is this structure.Valen and Aleera, closest to the structure, note an uncomfortable chill in the air around the building and notice what appear to be inscriptions etched into its surface about halfway up and encircling the entire building.  Valen isn't able to decipher what language it is written in.  The tracks Valen noticed earlier seem to circle the structure and then lead away, toward the keep.OOC: Any character fluent in Celestial will be able to read the inscription.  Otherwise, Decipher Script checks for those trained in that skill.</blockquote>
