Kenneth

"Ah ha!" Kenneth exclaims, raising a finger in the air in realization. "So that's what they are!" He smiles triumphantly and fold his arms across his chest as he watches Majakilar approach the hollow tube.

Before anyone attempts to shift the sarcaphagus to a new color, Kenneth steps to Majakilar's side. "I suggest we explore the tube," he says. "Likely, the rest of the circular indentations will simply do the same. Let's go down this elevator first to see what wonders lie beneath. How about it?"

 

[silentspace]

Majakilar nods and volunteers to go down. "Elevator... I like that!" he grins.

"This is contraption pretty neat, but this sarcophagus is still a little creepy," Owen says with a chuckle in order to hide his nervousness. "Whether we go exploring that corridor now, or test the rest of the corridors with this sarcophagus, I say we stick together."

 

[Azten]

I think Owen has the right of it - whichever path we chose, we should stick together. That is my main misgiving about trying the metal sarcophagus, err... elevator tube, is that it is too small for us to go together. How will we know if the person who goes gets in trouble? How will they know if the rest of the group gets in trouble?

I have no prayers that would be of use in that.

Gregor frowns and mutters "It looks cramped." He shakes his head "The sarcophogus is balanced enough that anybody could push it. If I push it back do you think it will close and lower Majikilar down opening down below? Or is it instead of an elevator an empty magic chamber and the others might hold something in them? Or could an empty one do something to people on the inside when the door closes? In any case, unless it opens into a ladder down I don't see how we can all go down together, somebody has to be up here to turn the sarcophogus. And since Atzen healed me I can be the canary here and see if it is safe."

Alexi

“Yes, we should stick together. But I don't see yet, how we could get down without splitting up in some way or another. We should check out all the corridors up here first, before going down.”

 

[Mista Collins]

"I agree, let's check everything up here first. Who knows, we might find something in the other corridors that gives suggestion to what this thing truly does. And if that does happen, we can decide from there what to do."

 

[Azten]

Azten nods his head in agreement with Alexi and Owen's suggestion.

"Oh, fine, then," Kenneth says after walking midway to the corridor with the open elevator. He waves his hand dismissively at the rest of the alcoves. "The rest will all be the same, and we'll be back in the same position as we are now. There won't be any difference."

Kenneth continues walking as the rest of the group discusses what to do next. He examines the outside as he approaches and notices the markings carved into the metal. Satisfied with his cursory glance, Kenneth steps into the cylinder.

"I'll just take a look in here, first, if you don't mind, before we move the sarcaphagus again," he says, raising his head to look at the ceiling and interior of the small cylinder. "Majakilar, hand me that torch, will you?"

 

[silentspace]

Majakilar, who seemed a little disappointed by the group's desire to put off exploring, smiles brightly as Kenneth goes into the elevator and asks for a lamp.

"Sure," he says, handing him the lamp. "What do you see in there?"
