(RP) Dangerous Legacy

[hafrogman]

Liam can only shrug as he quietly replies to Sel.

"We can take a look, but we may need Gemble to be overly modest some more in order to get through it."

He creeps forward in order to get a better look at the door.

Liam steps quietly out into the corridor. The floor is now fairly smoothly polished flagstone and it seems to echo more with each step, off of the equally smooth, hard walls. But, perhaps, it is merely nerves... there were already two undead things dead (again) behind them...who know what else lay ahead. As Liam gets to the door, it seems rather mundane and he can hear no sound from beyond the wooden barrier.

 

[Vendetta]

he feels fairly certain, judging from the quiet, that no being or critter lay beyond the door.

 

[Knight Otu]

Sel follows Liam as quietly as possible, rapier in hand. He nods to the warlock to signify that he is ready if he wants to open the door.

 

[Vendetta]

Liam looks at Sel and shrugs. The human pushes the door open, revealing a long, winding staircase that descends into darkness.

 

[Knight Otu]

Sel frowns at the staircase. He motions to his companions to keep an eye on it, and to Liam to check out one of the corridors while he checks the other one.

 

[Vendetta]

As the pair split up, Sel rounds the bend and sees that the corridor goes down another 10 feet then ends at another turn, an archway that leads to a room on the side away from the middle door where the staircase is. Immediately, Sel notices the sounds of shuffling and low, guttural moans. Though the individual noises are not loud in and of themselves, it is obvious to Sel that there must be a great deal of whatever they are making those noises... a whole lot of them.

 

[hafrogman]

Liam does his best to quietly creep down the opposite corridor from Sel, keeping an eye out for creepies, crawlies and anything that goes bump in the night.

[sblock=ooc]Sorry, it's taken me so long to get back here.

That does not bode well, Sel thinks as he carefully inches closer to the archway to look inside the room.

 

[Vendetta]

((Not a problem, sir. Glad you made it back. BTW, Liam hears and sees exactly the same thing as Sel does (the shuffling and moans, arch way and all that) ))

Sel inches ever closer to the arched entrance to the room beyond but as he gets closer, something tells him that poking his head around the corner could be a very big mistake. He is now certain that the noises he's hearing is coming from dozens and dozens of whatever they are and something tells him that he could very well be seen.
