Tianchao Wangguo Chapter 1: Calm before the storm

The final obstacle between her and the marauders' leader being dispatched, Lin Xu rushes toward the evil spellcaster, moving if possible so as to turn around him and leave the way clear for her allies (and also gaining her skirmish bonus to damage).

Inside, the templeconsists of three rooms: one is the building seen from the outside, the other two are caves connecting to it (one larger with the main altar, one smaller serving the resident monk as living quarters; a short tunnel leads from the back of the building to the altar cave and the sleeping cave is dug in the left wall of said tunnel). the interior, normally lit by candles and filled by the smell of burning incense, is covered in darkness. only a little light fromthe entrance illuminates the first room, but you can't see more than the tunnel's entrance in front of you. the room itself is empty, safe for what little furniture it had now lying smashed on the floor. a strange, decaying smell lies in the air, and you can hear faint chanting coming from the direction of the tunnel.
[ooc: listen check if you stop for a moment before continuing]
 

Seeing the profanation has already begun, Lin Xu does not want to delay the evil sorcerer's death for even a tenth of second.
 




As you enter the dark tunnel, the chanting seems to grow louder. The darkness also becomes more palpable, the ground more uneven as you almost stumble among small rocks and roots. Though you are sure the tunnel can't be that deep, the darkness is as unfathomable as it is almost feelable. the chanting is growing more intense and high-pitched as you move on. suddenly, the roots seem to get a life of their own and start to grab at your ankles and legs. [ooc: everyone make a ref-save please].
