The Gods Hate Us

[deadestdai]

Pabsit covers his companion's advances, bowstring taught and ready to let fly at the slightest need.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

The room itself seemed to be devoid of any apparent traps or immediate danger. Though upon entering the room, a quiet humming noise can be heard. Its almost hard to tell that the sound isn't imagined. The only new sight upon entering the room is on the center table. There is a large object that is likely a closed book. Other than that, you simply get a better look at the many tapestries and banners along the walls.

Baril walks closer to the table in the center of the room. He is careful not to touch the book and just walks around the table and examines it from safe distance (Search +13, Spot +15).

*Ruslan looks in the room, once he's seen that his companions haven't fallen down dead, and gazes at the book with reverance. His eye light up with poorly-concealed lust for the knowledge the books contains, and he restrains himself from going in there and grabbing it, waiting for the others to determine if it is safe first.*

Lousin takes a few steps into the room. He looks over the tapestries as the others investigate the room.

 

[Lefferts]

Oskar walks further into the room and tries to see if there is writing on the cover of the book.

 

[deadestdai]

Pabsit carefully makes sure there are none in the street who might be readying for the group to all turn their backs so they can attack and slowly follows the others into the room walking backwards, Sender still ready in his hands.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Looking at the book's cover, it is easy to see that this it is in no way new. The cover looks to be made of an old metal material which has rusted along a couple of corners. There is no writing on it, however, there is a large, silver raised symbol in the center. It is the same symbol as the pendant had on it.

As for the tapestries, there seems to be one for each of the major Deities, organized haphazardly and obviously not by priests of the said powers. If priests had done it, it was unlikely that Correllon and Gruumsh would have their symbols next to each other, and all the tapestries on the whole look wrinkled and even dirty in a few spots.

 

[Zerth]

As Baril apparently doesn't spot anything dangerous, he warily walks next to the book. "Well, let's see, what we have here," he says absent-mindedly and opens the book...

 

[deadestdai]

Taking one last look about in the street outside to make sure it was safe and not a trap, Pabsit closes the door behind the party and asigns a wall to put his small back against to see what the others have found in this place.
