Q'Barra: Facing Truth Chapter 2

Darrick paces back and forth, never straying far from the entrance. His sword is sheathed, but his hand twitches for the hilt every time Darrick hears a noise. "I don't like this," he says quietly, more to himself than to his companions. "Feels like we're waiting for a storm to strike."
 

Trebuchet keeps a silent, unflagging vigil in the center of the room. Occasionally he seems about to say something, but quickly subsides before he does. Perhaps he realizes this is a poor time to interrupt his teammates. Maybe whatever it is he wants to say or ask just isn't...ready yet.
 

(Ok, I'm very sorry for the delay everyone. I don't know why, but I haven't been getting email notifications lately, so I am trying to remember to check in on the board. My apologies.)

Catherine examines the book and finds it to be written in Halfling, which doesn't come as a surprise to her, given that that is the language the bandits speak. The book is apparently a ledger, detailing when attacks took place, the location of the attacks, what was taken and the number of casualties.

The last line that was interrupted was detailing the take from the most recent attack, the one that the party ran across on the way to the camp. The take hasn't been listed yet, perhaps because the bandits killed by the dinosaurs were supposed to report back about it.

(Ok, is the party going to continue in to the ruin, with the scouts in the lead?)

After handing Catherine the book, Kaelan draws out his scimitar and whirls it around him making a making the steel cut through the air like he imagined it would cut through his foes. "Should we continue in Catherine, with us in the lead fifty feet or so? There was a hallway off the first room that Sepoto saw, it then branched to the left and right. Which way does everybody think? I say to the left, after all 'left is right and right is wrong'".
 

Sepoto shrugs his shoulders at Kaelan's aphorism, and then adds one of his own:

"Master Othos always said, Friend-Kaelan, that sinister is wrong, and dexter is right... some evil creatures in his academy in Thrane, known as 'nuns' would strike his hand with a switch every time he would make marks in the word-books with his left hand until he learned the writing with his right hand. So, perhaps the right-hand passage is the correct way, hmm?"
 

Catherine studies the book. "It appears to be ledgers detailing what they stole from various endeavors. It was interrupted at the bottom, where I'm guessing we arrived. As for the direction...I don't really have an opinion either way, so I'll leave that to the scouts"

Sorry for the delay, I'm a bit under the weather.

(I will have a post up this evening. What is the party's marching order? Sepoto is in the lead, I assume, followed by Charles and Kaelan. Who is brining up the rear? And how far ahead are the three "scouts" from the rest of the party?)
