[QUOTE="97mg, post: 7400439, member: 6799460"] [b]Four Sides[/b] With Jeovanna stepping back from a westwards scouting, Dain has his moment to focus more closely on what lies ahead. In the distance his torch and the floor’s searing red pockmarks dimly illuminate the space. Cobwebs, some old and abandoned, sticky threads locked with once floating particles of ash and stoot. Others would appear fresh to him, spun not so very long ago. Watching, all is quiet except for the occasional splitting of a heated coal. Nothing moves here. He has no doubt though, that any arachnids that could handle such heat and form such sizes of nest, would be both large and ugly to behold. [I]The harsher the home, the harsher the welcome[/I], as the old song goes. The barbarian would know a fair bit about that way of thinking too… Abruptly, Jeovanna and Dain’s ears perk up to the sounds of deep, foreign, and ominous words resonating from behind…. Metea’s fingers have warmed against the stone as an area around her hand begins to glow red! The magical energy causes the Tiefling no pain, but a growing sense that she is being observed, and perhaps an extra dash of anxiety creeps into the back of the Warlock’s senses. The priest would notice too, that there is air movement to their flank, like an isolated pocket of heat and pressure arisen from nowhere. It drifts off, down the passage a way. An almost human voice speaks out then, but with accents like flames and mockery in it's low aggressive tone. [COLOR=#B22222]Wma uw zmuw, sma iozyr wa dalq kiryw quozw za afr piwzyrw ao mydd?
