[Velmont]

Sielwoodan will starts to looks at the water and the crack from where it come, to see if it doesn't come from some passage or natural cave.

 

[kirinke]

Teleri tries to make some sort of sense out of the weird and sometimes unpleasant carvings.

 

[Majin]

The water appears to be coming from a natural cave. No one is able to notice anything special or noteworthy about the carvings, beyond the fact that they are quite detailed and very old from the look of the stone.

 

[hippocrachus]

"Let us continue, my friends," Calenthang says from the center of the room. He stares at the archway warily, but heads towards it nontheless, allowing the scouts to go ahead of him.

 

[kirinke]

Teleri turns her attention towards archway and grimaces at the foul light emanating from it. I hope Ayden is right, but I fear that he will be dreadfully disappointed. She thought in sorrow for her friend. This will shake him.

"Aye. Let us spring the trap and see what falls out." she said dryly, keeping SwordArmour drawn and ready.

Arrows will not be much use against this creature, I think. Teleri thinks to herself. As one of my teachers once said, do not depend on any one weapon, for that creates a pattern and patterns can be exploited by the enemy.

 

[DarkMaster]

After spending a few minutes observing the carving carefully, Sarlis unable to find anything, thinks "Well at least this time wasn't completly loss, the only thing that sadden me, is that we don't have time to learn more about what they represent and the culture who carved them.".

As Calenthag moves forward Sarlis follows him, his bow in one hand, heads up, a determined look in his face.

 

[Mimic]

Having found nothing of interest with the carving Broddy will go with the group and investigate the doors.

 

[Verbatim]

Passing under the stone skeletons, Ayden felt that he was close now and hoped that he was not too late to help the beautiful angel. He could hear the footsteps of the others behind him and knew that he was ahead of them by several paces, but he did not fear for his safety. Here in this dark den of evil, something wonderful waited for them and he trusted that once his friends saw what he had witnessed, they could cast aside their doubts and fears and feel the joy and glory that he had.

Slipping his hammer into the loop on his belt, Ayden knew that with the grimlock guards slain there was nothing more they had to fear.

~Why would Finder say something was so deadly that it could kill us all? The grimlocks fought as best they could, but they fell easily enough...~

Ayden's stride, and confident smile, faltered for a moment, but only a moment as he quickly dismissed the thought.

~Perhaps it is the danger she will tell us of...or could I have simply misunderstood his meaning? Divination has never been my strongest area. Surely that must be it...~

As the gap between his companions and himself grew slightly wider, Ayden stepped fully into the pale light and looked through the archway.

 

[kirinke]

The grimlocks, they fell too easily. All of this was too easy. We're falling into a trap. I know it, I know it! Even those flying things fell too easily. she gripped the haft of the blade in her hand more firmly. Do you believe me StormArmour? You've seen more battles than I have had birthdays. Surely you must see what I saw. All those little fights both at the mouth of this place and just now were feints, feints designed to lull us into a fall sense of security. And now Ayden acts as if he's half enchanted! she told the sword worriedly. If he tries to free whatever is held in there, I have to stop him. Whatever it is, it isn't an angel of light.
