RJK'S Cairn of the Skeleton King

[zoons]

Moja translates the Giant's words for the group. He tells the Giant that they will hunt together after this mission is over.

Zanax now asks the furbie to make it's way to the steps into the "Blue room". He hasn't seen it yet, but another set of eyes won't hurt before entering.

"What do you make of the skull, Anton?" he asks. "And, does anyone have anything large enough to feed our friend here?"

Cheeping, the small furball hops over to the stairs...

One moment later a hissing sound, and the light of a green ray of energy illumniates the ruins...

Yipping like a pup, you see the furby running back to you from the stairway, as fast as its short legs can carry it,
small red flames are flickering from its back...

Anton takes the skull and examines it carefully, looking for traps or hidden features, and trying to guess its significance. (search +0, knowledge (religion) +10)

(ooc: Did Reezo see where the green ray came from?)

Reezo chuckles softly to himself as he sees the furby get burned.

He returns to the room with the others, still invisible, and says "It's a blue stone hall with three fancy statues, and what looked to be the body of our guide."

As far as Anton can tell, the purpose of this skull is purely decorative...

Zanax bends down to greet the small creature and with a small cloth from his bag, to pat the creature down and extinguish any remaining flames. Then he asks the furby what it saw, listens intently for it's answer. Lastly, he thanks the creature and opens the tan bag once more allowing the creature to return to the safety of it's own place and time.

After witnessing the antics of the strange furry creature, all the while holding the giant's hand, Rupert wonders aloud, "Didn't our guide tell us that he will meet us in the throne room of some dead king or something like that? If his body lies in the next room, maybe that's where we are supposed to be. Should I go investigate and see if it was a trap that nearly singed our new large friend's hopeful meal?"

He will slowly walk toward the new room, trying to lead the giant along with him, hoping to win himself a very strong ally shoud the need arise.

 

[Kafkonia]

Timrek looks to Rupert. "Or perhapsss he wasss overconfident," he opines.

Titus rolls his eyes at the flaming furbie as he listens to the disembodied report from the imp.

Then he asks the furby what it saw, listens intently for it's answer. Lastly, he thanks the creature and opens the tan bag once more allowing the creature to return to the safety of it's own place and time.

The furby seems very relieved to have Zanax put the flames out and thankfully hops back into the tan bag and disappears...

He will slowly walk toward the new room, trying to lead the giant along with him, hoping to win himself a very strong ally shoud the need arise.

The giant slowly follows Rupert, but holds at the room's entrance.

"Bad steps" he says, pointing at the small stairway leading up into the lapislazuli room...

Rupert notices a strange glowing ornament on the room's ceiling...

The white plate in the middle of the ornament emits a strange pale light, like a miniature moon...

 

[ethandrew]

Heeding the giant's warnings, Rupert stop short of the steps, glancing at them briefly before focusing his gaze on the unusual moonlike glow emitting from the ceiling. He has heard of some traps sounding familiar to this in some of the more upscale mansions and vaults in the larger cities he has travelled to, absurb ray beams that shoot from afar, triggered by proximity, but he always rolled his eyes at the notion. Whispering under his breath, he mutters a barely audible, "That's absurd."

He retreats one step and turns back to the group, "It seems to be safe from this vantage point at the least. But there's definitely something you all should see in this ceiling."

[sblock=OOC]How many steps are in this stairwell? Would it be a difficult jump to bypass all the steps or does it seem pretty simple? If it's difficult, he will Search for traps at +18, Disable Device at +12[/sblock]
