The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter III

[kirinke]

Teleri snoops around the room, looking for anything unusual on general principles.

 

[Dhes]

“Ok. That was fun, we aren’t really left with a lot of chouses. There are only 2 passages we can take, one back in the winding passages, and this one leading south.
Now that we are here we should take the one south, but it is a dangers one because we will be walking up stream.”

That scream must have unsettled me more then I thought, we have bin going the wrong way all this time. We wanted to follow the blood, but we have bin going upstream all this time.

 

[Jarval]

"Andreas, the lenses Dunstand has discovered seems to carry a minor divination aura, could the crafter of the lenses have placed a misleading spell marker upon them?"

"Potentially, one could place such an enchantment on an item, but I doubt many mages would bother with such a deception. It would yield to a simple identification spell, and would be rather expensive in terms of both gold and energy to produce such a weak effect." Andreas replies to Ayden. "I'd judge their aura to be genuine, as lenses very often carry divining enchantments."

He falls silent as they start to move into unexplored territory again.


(OoC: Sorry about the delay, been ill )

 

[Seonaid]

Chastity shrugs. "Upstream it is. The fight against evil does not necessarily always have the luxury of the easy path." She starts that way, carefully picking a path through the water. Her holy symbol of Torm lies prominently against her chest atop her armor. It catches the light and throws it around chaotically, glaring against the running water.

[Hope you're doing well, Jarval! ]

 

[kirinke]

"You know, there are days in which you should never get out of bed," Teleri mutters to herself. "I've had an entire month of them," she sighs as she picks her way nimbly through the mucky water. "The mayor is really going to get my laundry bill if I survive. If I don't, he'll be charged for carting what's left of me back to my people," she grinned lopsidedly at the others. "Otherwise I will haunt them to the end of time," she cursed as a maggot infested dead rat floats past them. "Ick,"

 

[Majin]

Her search not turning up anything noteworthy Teleri continues on with the others down the unexplorered southwest passage, taking care not to slip on the moss covered rocks that litter the submerged floor of the cavern. The passage curves in a crescent shape to the southeast and opens up into a 40 foot by 20 foot chamber, a large whirlpool circulating in the center. The whirlpool pulls slightly on all of you as you stand at the entrance to the room. A southwest passage at the back of the room leads further on into the caverns, but random glints of something shiny alert your eyes to a thin passageway in the southeast of the chamber that appears to lead into a larger room.

 

[Seonaid]

Chastity looks blankly at Teleri as she speaks. When they reach the whirlpool room, she stands as close as she can without losing her balance. She pivots slowly, looking around the room and more closely at the exits. "Which way?" she says softly.

 

[Verbatim]

Feeling the pressure around his legs increasing, Ayden did not like the look of the vortex in the center of the room.

"I do not think that any good will come of getting close to that whirlpool. Perhaps it would be in our best interest to lash some rope around our waists for the moment to make sure that if one of us falls, the others can make sure we do not get sucked towards it."

 

[Manzanita]

"We need to be careful of that current. Perhaps one person should continue, close the wall, and holding a rope. If swept off his/her feet, the rest of us could pull him to safety. The SW corridor is closer to reach, no?"

 

[kirinke]

"Does anyone have a rope?" Teleri asked as she peered down at the southeast corridor. "That corridor seems to be smaller than the other. Perhaps it isn't used as much. We may be able to surprise her," she offered.
