The Whispering Cairn (Team Diamond Lake) - IC

[ghostcat]

Reluctant to touch either the finger or the lantern, Galyne quickly decides that what he really needs is for Aria and Zeke to have a look at them. Before he leaves he decides to take a chance and he searches the corpse properly.

Retrieving his weapons he picks the backpack up by the straps, moves back to the central hallway. Once there he starts to wait for the others to finish searching the western alcove but seeing Vixtrin also going in that direction, he moves to join them.

Aria nods at Vixtrin and says, "Yes, I think the best thing for now is just to keep going. The green light might mean we're in this corridor..."

She taps the 'green lantern' hallway on the painting, "But who knows how literal this is meant to be? It could be some afterlife ritual or...anyway, we should keep exploring."

OOC: Did Galyne show the finger and lantern to Zeke and Aria?

 

[Shayuri]

(OOC - Dunno! You said you were going to, but then seemed to do something else, so I didn't want to narrate differently. )

"If there's no other alcove or elsewhere to go, we might have a look down the stairs." Vixtrin points to the webbing in the northern passageway and the stairs (which, admittedly, from this angle and distance are probably obscured) where Jules stands.

ooc: do you mean Zeke or Eldariel? I'm all over checking out the lantern, but I'm not sure if I know about it. If I can see it, I'll run over and Kowledge Arcana the eff out of it. bam!

 

[ghostcat]

Entering the western alcove and seeing the wall painting, Galyne excitedly exclaims "I think I have found the blue lantern. Have a look at this." With this, he opens the backpack and shows anyone who's interested the lantern and statue part.

 

[fireinthedust]

Eldariel, curious, goes over and gives the blue lantern a once over. Interesting. It was in a backpack?

Eldariel would like to hold the thing up. He also takes a look at the statue part (and what statue it could have come from). He's thinking about the Vaati glyphs from the other shape.

When we're finished here, I would like to look these materials up in my master's library. Cross-reference the Vaati information with other regional information. It could be of great value, either directly or by helping us to not waste our time(!)

ooc: Arcana check on both the lantern and the statue fragment.

 

[HolyMan]

[sblock=OOC] The lantern looks like the one in the mural. But there is no statue pictured. Also all the lanterns have the same design just differently colored panes.

Knowledge arcana will yield nothing without something to cross reference the lantern with. So maybe when you are back near a library or other place with info to sort through.

Could try Appraise also.

Next stop down will update SUN nite. RP your way down and a marching order till then.[/sblock]

Aria comes over, and to Eldariel's analysis she adds a bit of magical sensitivity as she tries to determine if the lantern has any enchantment within it.

"Blue...I wonder if these work like keys. Maybe the passage of each color..." she gestures at the diagram on the wall, "only opens when you have the correct lantern."

For a moment her eyes find the fallen body the lantern came from. "You could probably tell us," Aria murmurs sadly.
