(RP) Dangerous Legacy

Liam nods gravely.

"Indeed, it seems as if no body lies undisturbed in this tomb? Does Movak simply seek to cause dissaray and wake the dead to serve him, or do you think he is searching for something. Something that was buried here? Either way, we must push forward. Expect the dead to walk."

Once again, Liam moves into the room, keeping an eye on the bodies for signs of unlife.

[sblock=ooc]Do we have Sel?[/sblock]

 

[Knight Otu]

(Sorry, I guess I'm a bit caught in the news tangle at the moment. )
Sel nods as well. "And traps. Be careful."

 

[Vendetta]

"Look at that." Gemble says, pointing to an oddly shaped golden scepter with a strange crescent moon at the top. Along the shaft of the scepter is some kind of engraving. The scepter is laying beside a regal looking corpse that half hangs out of the tomb. Something tells you there is something important about it.

 

[Knight Otu]

Sel looks at Liam to see if he has any idea about the scepter, then, if Liam doesn't protest, edges slowly forwards to take a better look at it.

 

[hafrogman]

Liam frowns at the scepter for a moment.

"It's certainly something."

He holds up a finger for a moment, focusing his sight on the scepter for a moment.

[sblock=ooc]Detecting magic. . . is it?[/sblock]

 

[Vendetta]

Liam [sblock] There is only the slightest bit of magic, you almost missed it at first. It is combination magic, meaning it needs to combine with something else for the magical effect to work. This kind of thing is most often used to create some kind of magical lock.[/sblock]

 

[hafrogman]

"Hmmm. That's odd."

Liam puzzles over the scepter for a moment before shrugging.

"Go ahead and grab it if you want, there probably isn't enough magic there to harm you. Not by itself anyways. It seems part of something larger though. Doesn't seem like something to leave lying around anyways."

 

[Knight Otu]

"Part of something larger? Not sure I like the sound of that... right now, or to be combined?"

 

[hafrogman]

"Like a single piece of a puzzle. Perhaps that is why everything here has been torn apart. Perhaps all of the pieces are in this tomb, but not together. Perhaps it is nothing to do with our mission at all. I cannot say."

 

[Knight Otu]

"But if the scepter is part of why whoever defiled this place did so, why didn't they take it along?" Sel wonders, then moves to take a closer look.
