RJK'S Cairn of the Skeleton King

[Vertexx69]

Titus flies back up out of easy reach as the sound is investigated.

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

Titus flies back up out of easy reach as the sound is investigated.

Suddenly, Titus notcies something within the darkness next to him...

[sblock]
Manifesting out of the air, over the third coffin on the left, a spectre of hatred against the living...

[/sblock]


To the others, it appears as if Titus had frozen in the air, starring at the back wall, next to the strange, winged statue...

Silently cursing his sudden cowardly, Rupert will stand and dust off his breeches on his way over to the now silent door. A few paces away, he will start a thorough check of the outlying area, slowly making his way to the door, inspecting all the way in. To the others, he takes an extreme amount of time.

Rupert can see no sign of a mundane trap on its way to the door, nor do Timrek nor Adam provoke any kind of trap as they approach the door...

Then, two consecutive sounds can be heard from behind the door, again...

Steps, big and heavy!

"More sssoundsss," Timrek spits. "Nothing more. Let usss ssssee what the fatesss hold for usss."

[sblock=Ivid]Can you give me an OOC when ya give a description like "Titus freezes in place, Titus falls to the ground helpless, etc." and things like that. just give me a little "ooc youve been paralyzed" type of thing to let me know if I can communicate with the party and or act.[/sblock]

"We are no longer alone friends." Titus flies back from the materializing spirit (if able).

[sblock=OOC]F.Y.I. current spells active: brambles, resist cold (20), fly, hide from undead (on whole party)[/sblock]

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

"More sssoundsss," Timrek spits. "Nothing more. Let usss ssssee what the fatesss hold for usss."

[I take you open the door...]

Behind the second right door, a long stairway extends down into an illuminated hall.

Your sight to that hall, however, is blocked by an enormous body.

A colossal, grey-skinned giant is chained to a wall of the stairway, rubbing his eyes and yawning, as if he has just awakened.

The stairway appears dusty, but relatively clean. From down in the hall, you can see flickering lights of torches, and believe to hear the sound of a distant music....

----------------------------------------------

Titus has no problem to get some space between him and the ghastly horror...

The glowing eyes of the spectre stare into the empty space, and your heart jumps as you realize that, right now, you might be invisible for the flying horror...

"What do you mean Titus?" asks Zanax. Titus' statement came before the door opening and the revelation of the giant pinned to the wall. Zanax reaches into the tan pouch and tosses a little ball of fur he finds inside. The furball loops accross the room behind Titus' hovering position. Then, the ball of fur expands quickly into a living creature. Zanax waits before giving it a command, to see what happens next.

"Who are you?" growls Moja to the Giant. [ooc: Giant is a natural language for Winter Wolves]

 

[Vertexx69]

Pointing to the materializing spectre, Titus casts an eye to the door and the creature occupying the hall behind it. "This evil undead force that just appeared before me up here. But it looks like the strength of my magics are cloaking us from it's eyes and ears, unless it is just more flashing light and chain rattling."

Anton glances up. "This is a poor time for practical jokes, Titus."

 

[ethandrew]

Looking up at Titus and back to the giant in the hall, Rupert states rather bluntly, "So with a spectre above us and a giant in the hallway, which way should we go? You say the spirit cannot see us? That's an advantage we should use."

 

[kinem]

Just to be on the safe side, Anton casts detect undead and looks up, searching for any spirit.
