The Psionicle, Part IX

"I knew I should have fed him dinner before coming in. Something tells me the cat will win too."

Gnomeworks, do you mind giving your e-mail address? Otherwise you can e-mail me at conphyoozed1@hotmail.com. I just have some questions for you.

"Nice summation, Ruth"

*Grin*

---

The sound of metal rings through the hallway and Ruth's armor clangs against the stone wall as she is pushed aside by the cat rushing after the weasel.

@#)$*(@#!, the little rodent. Bring me back a piece! Grmble.... the little critters almost always find some darn hole to crawl into. So don't get your hopes up.

Swinging round as the sounds of the chase reach everyones ears though the echos, Ruth ponders for a second and then looks at the group.

Euhm guys.... what if this isn't a trap, scouting attempt or some attempt to split us up or get us confused but plain ol' fear?

Ruth glances the party for a moment as it sinks in.

I know it prolly ain't that hard to get a little weasel scared but still... if it is then I wonder what did it. Especially if it's large enough to scare us as well.....

 

[Dalamar]

"Didn't we scare the thing too? Besides, there's quite a few of us. Lets press on. While the cavern's comfortabel and all, citylife has made me enjoy a bed instead of hard rock under my head when sleeping."

OoC: CS, I have responded to that post via email, so you can delete it now. Thanks!

You head forward, in the direction that the panther and the weasel headed.

You enter a large room, which is roughly circular in nature. The wooden floor is still present, but in the center is a circular dark green carpet, apparently in decent shape. It's edges are roughly ten feet in from the walls.

All along the walls, are shelves. A multitude of books and scrolls rest upon them. The only gaps where there are no shelves are the entrance you came in, and another entrance, which is in the center of the lefthand wall (relative from where you entered the room).

There are also six or seven chairs here, all the same dark green color as the carpet. They don't appear to be as well-kept as the carpet, however; the nearest two have several holes in them, and the legs - made of a dark wood - appear to have been scratched or chewed upon at some point in the past.

On the ceiling, there are words going around the outermost edge of the ceiling in an unknown script. They appear to have been scribed in very exacting detail, but some of the characters are slightly fuzzy or blurry.

OoC: Map below of where you've been so far. The top room is your current location.

"Look's like something has had a go at the chairs." Jansson crouches beside one, examining the scratch marks on the legs.

 

[GnomeWorks]

Jansson - closer examination on the chairs reveals that the claw marks aren't very long, or deep; they appear to have been made by smaller animals. There are a few teeth marks too, but they're fainter and harder to make out, but from the size they seem to have been made by the same creature that made the claw marks.

 

[Darkwolf]

Narok looks at the ground, trying to find if anyone or anything larger than the weasel has been this way recently.

(Track)

 

[GnomeWorks]

Narok - The only tracks that you can see are the tracks of the weasel, and the tracks of Panthros, intertwined and heading for the western entranceway. You also find small traces of human or humanoid footprints, heading both in the direction that the weasel and Panthros went, and back the way you came.
