Q'Barra: Facing Truth Chapter 2

Darrick said:
"...I doubt that I'd need the aid of magic to sleep soundly tonight, armor or no armor."

"I know I'll sleep soundly as well. In light of recent events, being able to sleep in heavy armor is a blessing. I'm just glad we're away from the attack site."

"Yes let us bed down for the night. How did you like the weapon capsules Catherine? I didn't need them this time. Was my performance more satisfactory this time as well?" Kaelan sits on a small log, polishing and sharpening his blades.
 

Catherine never raises her head from her prayer books. "Oh yes, they work excellently. It's good to know we've got an edge should we need to bail someone out of trouble."
 

The night passes uneventfully. The group is far enough away from the wreckage of the caravan to be undisturbed by scavengers, and the bandits probably will not be missed for at least a day.

As everyone eats breakfast and packs up, they are pleased to note that the weather seems to have cleared up.

The farther they travel, the more well-traveled the trail becomes. By the time they are able to see the temple, the path has widened considerably and the ground is packed tightly.

They come upon a clearing, and they are able to see a large structure before them. It is impossible to tell what the original shape of the temple was, because it is overgrown with what must be centuries of jungle growth.

Kaelan, Charles and Sepoto strain their eyes and ears, but they are unable to hear or see anyone who may be watching the path.
 


Catherine surveys the area. "Let's find a way in quickly. Let's keep our weapons out at all times. From the ruins of that caravan, I'd say it is safe to assume that these bandits are ruthless killers."

Catherine motions to Sepoto and Charles to come in from the treeline. "I'll need both of you to be checking for any kind of booby traps the bandits may have setup. We don't need any surprises. We're all counting on you both."

"Captain, do you want us to circle the site first to find a suitable entrance?" Kaelan's scimitar is out. He keeps the blades in his shadow to keep them from shining and alerting others of their presence.
 

(Taking some liberty here, Yeoman, hope you don't mind. Just wanted to get this moving...)

On Catherine's advice, everyone approaches the ruin carefully. They are easily able to find an entrance, it has no door just a hole in the side of the temple.

It appears that the group can easily proceed double-file, but there is no telling what the inside of the temple holds.

Before anyone can say anything, Kaelan and Sepoto can hear at least two voices from within the temple. It appears that there are at least two people inside, though they appear to be engaged in conversation, and have not noticed the group yet.

(Ok. I need to know marching order, remember it is double-file.)

Kaelan stands behind their trapfinders, Sepoto and Charles, on the right side of the column. Upon hearing voices, he quickly raises his hand and grabs the person in front of him. He shushes them with a finger to his lips. He raises two fingers and points toward the temple.
 

Sepoto nods to Kaelan to show Kaelan he hears the voices as well. Grabbing Charles by the hem of his sleeve to stop him from advancing, the shifter motions for the others in the group to stop and be silent as well.

[SBLOCK] Pebele, about how far away from the group are the voices? Iis the language one that Sepoto understands? If so, can he hear what the voices are discussing? [/SBLOCK]
