Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus Group A)

[wysiwyg]

Kareus

"There is no point in leaving this place. Unless the brief battle was heard, there will be no guard coming." Davan looks at the fallen comrades, "Are they even still alive?"

"Don't worry, they're coming. You didn't see all the people fleeing in panic out of this place. But I agree, let's take a look around for clues now or we might not be able to do so later. But let's be quick about it." Kareus moves towards the nearest door search ing for anything out of the ordinary.

Kaeso

Kaeso is clearly troubled by Luna's condition. He's already lost two of his friends to the members of this cult, and he doesn't want to lose anymore. "The gas had little effect on me, so I'll venture back downstairs to check the other doors. I may need someone with a keen eye to go with me, if anyone is up for it."

"Tsal, Luna looks to be in serious trouble. Perhaps you could stay with her and attempt to treat her condition further?"

Kaeso goes downstairs (with or without someone else for search checks), and holds his breath as he goes (he can hold his breath at least 2*con=32 rounds).

"I will go." Davan notches another arrow in his bow and follows Kaeso.

 

[Scotley]

Tsal

"I will stay and render what aid I can. If trouble comes I'll try to signal you." He pats his rifle.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Tsal watches over Ronaldo, Luna, and Morty as the rest of the adventurers descend into the cellar once more, though this time covering their mouths and holding their breath. Loraine moves towards the southern door and waits until everyone is in position before throwing open the portal. On the other side is a relatively empty room, and the party rushes into the chamber so that they no longer need to hold their breath.

This room is 30 feet wide by 40 feet long, and from the gouges in the floor it seems something heavy was placed in the center. Small pieces of tubing, papers, bolts, and thin sheets of metal can be found here and there, giving the appearance that something was taken apart in a hurry.

Kaeso and Kareus
[sblock]
You sense you have spent considerable time here. There are visions of being strapped to some sturdy device while liquids were forced into your mouth via tubes. Your mind mercifully blocks much of the more traumatic memories but you are certain that this is where your minds were broken.

[OnlytheStrong]

"I wonder what was here, and where it went to." Davan asks to himself.



ooc: Is there any other doors, or just that one we came through?

 

[Dekana]

Kaeso

The gruff soldier steps toward the center of the room, and looks through the pieces of paper and metal. He specifically looks for any kind of evidence as to what object/machine used to be in the room.

[Deuce Traveler]

OOC: The only obvious door is the one you came through, and the only other door you know of that you haven't opened is the northern door in the chamber with the vapors.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Kaeso examines some of the papers, but doesn't find anything in the scribbles that means anything to him. However, some of the plastic tubing looks relatively new and he finds the words 'The Smoke Shop' written in tiny letters almost like a brand name. Kareus recognizes the name as a technology store in North Market.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Loraine looks bored and then declares, "Come on, gents. There's nothing else here so why don't we check out that other door?" Leading the way she holds her breath, reenters the room with the fear-effect gas, and throws open the way into the unexplored room. You all file in before closing the door behind you.

In the center of the 30 foot by 30 foot room is a 3-foot radius reflective pool, where you can view yourself and meditate. The water looks clear as you can see an open drain when you look past your own reflection.

Along the sides of the room are a number of bookshelves complete with tomes ranging from the topics of philosophy to the darker topics such as the essence of chaos. Although these are just some books that you notice after a quick glance through.
