Q'Barra: Facing Truth Chapter 2

[Rookseye]

As Sepoto moves ahead of the group again, making for the southwest corner of the temple, he waits until he is out of earshot of the pair, and then turns to Darrick, a perplexed look on his face.

"Friend-Darrick, Sepoto is confused. Why did the Brother-Sister-Guards look like they were black-dressed for a human-funeral? Whose funeral was it? When Master Othos died, many at the academy came to Sepoto wearing this color...is there a reason for it?"

The shifter listens to Darrick's answer thoughtfully for a moment before continuing down the passageway, using his prior caution, albeit with a sense he will never fully understand the human-folk from his master's former lands beyond the mountains.

Kaelan

Kaelan narrows his eyes at the mercenarys as he backs away and follows Sepoto. Until we meet again... He whispers to Catherine as they get closer to the prison area, "I'd appreciate a little of your vigor wand before the combat starts. A little bit of power may be wasted, but hopefully it will help long enough for us to dispatch our foes." Kaelan then pulls out a potion of shield of faith to help protect him during the coming battle.

"I'd appreciate a little of your vigor wand before the combat starts. A little bit of power may be wasted, but hopefully it will help long enough for us to dispatch our foes."

If it helps keep us at full combat readiness, then I don't consider it a waste. Catherine discharges the wand once, and then continues down the hall.

The two mercenaries say nothing as the group departs, and as soon as the group turns South, the light from the mercenaries swords disappears. Left in the gloom once more, Sepoto leads the group constantly south and west.

Sepoto carefully checks each intersection for traps, and finds none.

Sepoto comes to what he believes is the southwest-most portion of the temple. There is a closed door in front of him, which is pointing west. There is also a passageway leading to the south.

"Friend-Darrick, Sepoto is confused. Why did the Brother-Sister-Guards look like they were black-dressed for a human-funeral? Whose funeral was it? When Master Othos died, many at the academy came to Sepoto wearing this color...is there a reason for it?"

Darrick's stride falters a little. "It's...it's a way of remembering, Sepoto. Remembering Cyre, and all those we lost when...on that...that day. It's the reason that I dress in those colors myself."

He shakes his head, grimacing. "I'm just as glad we didn't come to blows with them. There aren't enough children of Cyre left as it is...and I really don't care of the idea of being responsible for any of their deaths. No matter who's side they're on."

Alone in the near darkness, Sepoto carefully examines the door. He elects to wait for his companions before opening it, signaling them from his position as to what he has found. While waiting for them to approach, he alternately listens for sounds emanating from the southern passageway, and places his ear to the door to see if anything makes noise from within.

[Pebele]

Sepoto is able to hear people talking behind the door. He does not understand the language they are speaking, so he does not know what they are speaking about.

He is unable to make out any noise from the south.

As he examines the door further, he just notices a very fine trip wire running along the bottom of the door. He does not see what sort of trap this wire may be attached to, but he can tell that the trip wire disappears inside the room.

 

[Rolzup]

The warforged tilts his head curiously and fixes Darrick with his ruby-eyed, unblinking stare.

"The information is noted, Darrick, but it was Sepoto that asked. Is there some element in it that you think may be of use to me?" His tone suggests that he would disagree with that sentiment.

D'oh! Sorry...I'll fix that now.

Catherine paces back and forth. "Through the door or not?"
