The Drow War Book One - Chillhame

[Evil Ujio]

Enthalus tries to see if the being is at all translucent like a ghost or a phantasm, or solid like an actual body. He notes whether there is a trail of blood behind the floating man dripping from his neck.

The figure is translucent and no trail of blood that he can see...

 

[Ranger Rick]

Did we travel so far down, that we have entered into the bowels of hell?

 

[Evil Ujio]

The ghostly figure pauses about 15 feet from the party; it points at the party with a glare of its eyeless face it mouths to speak but nothing comes forward. It points down and then back to the party once again…

 

[Endur]

Laurel looks down at where the figure is pointing.

 

[Evil Ujio]

Laurel looks down at where the figure is pointing.

It just points down to the ground... as far as she can tell or anyone can tell.

 

[Thanee]

Kyalia

“Well, at least it doesn't seem hostile...”

 

[Festy_Dog]

Saxon is unnerved by the clearly unnatural being, and Mzarem's tail is between his legs as he retreats behind his human companion. The wolf has its teeth bared at the entity but clearly doesn't have the intention of initiating hostilities.

"I think he's indicating deeper into the earth," Saxon says, "Though it's anyone's guess what the spirit's intentions are. Kyalia, you would have the magic to discern its nature wouldn't you? What hovers before us seems very much a confusing new element in our search."

Saxon sheathes his scimitar, concious of its ineffectiveness against such a creature, but maintains his guard. He wasn't sure what the ghost wanted, whether it was luring them into a trap or giving them a message, but the living dead were far from natural and he would prefer to have nothing to do with them. In hindsight Saxon realised it wouldn't have been a scent that Mzarem had picked up on, but the animal sense of the supernatural, their ability to detect that which smarter living beings could not.

 

[Ranger Rick]

"I am at a lost, do we dig here?"

 

[Voadam]

Enthalus will move closer to the spectre to see what it is pointing at better, bringing his light with him to illuminate the translucent figure better.

 

[Festy_Dog]

"If anything it means we need to find a way to get deeper. I doubt digging is what the entity has in mind, probably finding a passage to take us lower," Saxon explains to Dolan, "But then again, this is all just speculation on my part."
