RJK'S Cairn of the Skeleton King

[Le Noir Faineant]

As you move closer to the door, the floating faces vanish with a last, hearable sigh...

As the light of the torch falls into the small opening between the iron double doors, Anton can see more white bones, for a moment, before the flame flickers, and, again, almost goes out...

Dozens of human bones are laying in the room before you...

 

[Kafkonia]

"Do you think the bonesss will welcome usss?" Timrek asks, approaching the door. "The dead do not ressst here. We have ssseen thisss."

 

[Nephtys]

"They want us here, or else they would have killed us already. All we can do now is proceed."

 

[DM_Matt]

(Are the hinges exposed? If so, Adam will take a small extra length of chain, wrap it around a hinge, tie it to a rope, and then put it over his shoulder and pull/run the oher way to try to rip the hinges from the door. If not, he will charge and try to bash the door open)

Adam punches his fist into his hands lightly, and says "This is Adam's job"

 

[zoons]

"Perhaps just a strong push is all that is necessary. Destruction will probably be viewed with disdain" says Zanax. He steps aside so that Adam may try to force the door.

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

And with brutish force, Adam pushes the door open...

And broken bones trickle into the corridor and roll against your boots...

The room before you, rectangular and about 8 x 10 meter long, is filled with human bones over and over...

The walls are blackened, like from a fire, and the skeletons are naked.

No weapons, no items, no rags, just bare bones.

At the end of the room, barely visible through the strange darkness that hangs over this nightmarish place, another iron door, painted red...

If you make a step into the bones, you will find that the pile is indeed high enough you sink up to your knees into these rests of human life...

Raising a hand to indicate a halt, Titus flies over the heads of party. "A moment friends, there may be foul undead concealed within the bones let us take a moment to prepare." Grasping the holy symbol dangling from his neck, the cleric cast his kind gaze over the party. "Powers of the earth, erase these travelers from the eyes and hearts of the dark undead that lie in wait both ahead and behind us as we seek to cleanse this holy palce."

"This room burned. I hope the fire is not waitiing to come back."
(OOC: Adam is worried about a sealed room + fire trap)

 

[ethandrew]

Rupert will wade into the room toward the doorway, looking for anything that might prove to be a trap.
