"After you, then," says Kurt as he stands to one side.

Dara chuckles. “The door it is.”

You fall into what has become your standard marching order, passing through the door and moving down a thirty foot corridor into a rather large chamber. The plastered walls and ceilings of this place are covered with paintings of eyes, and another symbol you have noted before as well: an equilateral triangle with a Y shape within, the branches at the base corners and the stem meeting at the apex. The eyes are of all sorts, monstrous and humanoid, of various colors, and all seem to stare in hatred, hunger or fright.

The chamber appears to have seen rough use of late. Piles of rubbish are scattered about, gnawed bones, and signs of a large fire apparently burned frequently in the middle of the floor. Four doors are visible, as is a wide stairway going up. Just ten feet south of the steps is a large brass gong, suspended in a hornwood frame. Two smoky cressets burn on the angled portions of the east and west walls, dimly lighting the place.

Ragnok eyes the gong mistrustfully.

"Any way we can silence that?"

 

[Legildur]

"You are reading my thoughts, bearded one," says Kurt quietly. "But a part of me wishes to strike the gong - hard. Or we could steal it?" he suggests.

"We could, of course, avoid all this and head up the stairs. Surely behind those doors lies local deviants. And four doors-worth may be too much for us."

"Verdis, any magic before we go fiddling," he asks.

"If we run into trouble, we should withdraw back to the corridor we entered from in order to reduce our front."

"Good tactical thinking, Kurt. We'll make a soldier of you yet."

OOC: Thanks, Thanee, I hadn't seen that entry for Arneson.

 

[Rhun]

You move further into the chamber, closer to the heavy gong. All remains quiet in the chamber, though the thick side doors could certainly block any sounds from beyond them.

 

[Rhun]

All remains quiet as you move further into the chamber.

 

[stonegod]

Coraine has a look up the stair, directing Trevor and Kurt to try to disable the gong.

 

[Rhun]

The heavy bronze plate is hung by thick chains to the hornwood frame. You could remove the plate from the frame...but you'd have to be careful; a wrong move could sound the gong.
