Kyalia looks around for any further exits. Maybe there is a secret one.
“Do you think the gnome went here? Doesn't seem very plausible with the drakes having been here. And what do we do with those runes now? We could try Kali's thought and just step on them in order, hoping that the one we do not know is - indeed - the missing one to complete the familiy name. Good observation, by the way. It does seem plausible to me.”
"Ah, let's not forget that we know what happens if you step on these tiles... none of that quite yet I think..." Freggo indicates the smoldering remains of the needlefang drake that is half-on one of the tiles. "If we can't figure out any clues from the runes, there's nothing wrong with trying the doors to see what happens. Our quest is to find a lost gnome, not conquer strange riddles... tempting as it is to do so."
With that Freggo will trace the remaining unknown rune on a bare spot of stone and trickle a small amount of magical flame from his sword, attempting to see what its nature might be.
| GM: | Changed the order of things, you'll see why. |

Kyalia
Kyalia takes a thorough look around the area, alas there are no secret doors or hidden chambers to be found, the crypt is exactly as it seems- however, something is amiss.
The doors exiting the crypt on the east side are sealed- what's more there doesn't seem to be a lock, and as Kali found earlier, they too seem to hum and pulse in time with the glowing symbols.
Kyalia says it aloud- "the doors are connected to the symbols on the floor, I suggest we need to tap out the pattern to open them..."
| GM: | Just to say Freggo you looked at the doors earlier, but rolled low on your Arcana check, that's why you didn't spot this previously, however Kali spotted this also in his search of the chamber. I guess you either missed it or didn't figure it. |

Freggo
Freggo taps his foot, adopts his thinkers pose and... nothing.
There's only one tile unidentified, and all of you have racked your brains- alas the last one is not forthcoming.
And that's my final offering on the tiles... have the courage of your convictions, or Kali's convictions.
