Q'Barra: Facing Truth Chapter 2

Sepoto carefully examines the chamber beyond the sprung trap. It appears to be a rather messy kitchen. He finds no more traps, nor any bandits.

When he returns from the room, he is left with the decision of which direction to go. He can return the way he came, as he remembers that there was more to explore that way, or continue North, to see where the path curves off to.

Deciding to finish what he has started, Sepoto retreats far enough back to his companions to signal that he is continuing on to the north. After confirmation from his captain, the shifter moves quickly and silently along the curving passageway, intent upon spying any further traps before they find him.

[SBLOCK] Sepoto will proceed down the northern passageway, kukri and noxious smokestick in hand, to see where it goes.

Search check = 17
Spot check = 16
Listen check = 25

Move Silently check = 12

Sepoto follows that curve in the passageway and finds that it splits again. There is a wider passageway that goes to the North, and he can also see that a bit ahead of him the passage also curves South again.

He spies no more traps, and hears no signs of and opposition.
 

Sepoto considers the junction for a moment, and then continues to the north, along the wider passageway, after making certain his companions know his intent.
 

Sepoto continues North for about 30 feet before the path splits off to the right. The path also continues forward for a short distance before there is a split to the left, and it continues North as well.
 

Catherine gently taps the wall next to her to get Sepoto's attention. She then points to the north, and nods to indicate they should keep moving this way.
 

Trebuchet ambles compliantly along behind Catherine and Kaelen, his expounding on the tactical situation apparently expended for the nonce.
 

Sepoto carefully peeks around the corner of the corridor leading to his right, making certain that no traps or foes await therein. He nearly jumps out of his skin at the sudden, hollow tap Catherine makes upon the wall. So focused was his concentration while peering down the hallway, the gentle rap sounded almost like an explosion to the still jumpy shifter.

Nearly catching a crossbow bolt in your teeth will do that.

Looking in her direction, and wincing slightly, he nods. Sepoto then proceeds to the north, following the twisting passageway still deeper into the temple.

[SBLOCK] Using the same cautious technique, Pebele, just let me know if you need rolls, I think my Inivisble Castle overheated today with all the sensory checks. :D [/SBLOCK]
 

Kaelan

Kaelan walks through the kitchen, waiting for a very angry bandit to jump from the cupboards wielding a frying pan. The thought amuses him so he continues to imagine the man, wearing an apron, and sporting a strange curling mustache. The thought quickly fades as he once again focuses in on his surroundings. His hands begin to caress his blade, Are they even still here? He thinks.
 

I wonder if we are heading back towards the armory again? Stupid temple. Who designed this place anyway? That bastard is probably laughing at us somewhere.
