cappy move quietly into the room. he walks up to manny and taps him on the shoulder and puts his finger to his lips to be quiet.

Underdark -- fire temple

Manny and Cappy both recognize the spoor in the corner as being droppings from a very large reptile. Cappy also hears the sound of soft snoring coming from the passageway.

 

[Scotley]

Having no desire to examine the droppings herself, Tylara trusts the findings of her companions. She draws Manny and Cappi in close and whispers near their ears. "Didn't we hear something about a dragon? What exactly did you mean 'large reptile'."

 

[Scott DeWar]

"er, well, a large reptile such as , well you know, a dragon."he whispers very quietly.

 

[KerlanRayne]

"Dragon? I doubt it. Come on let's get moving." Kerlan and the others move on.

 

[Leif]

OOC: Please tell me to where you are moving, and how?

 

[KerlanRayne]

OOC: Oops, I forgot about the Listen check. I'll throw in the others as well, just in case. Do the droppings appear fresh? And as to where we are going, I assume forward. Is there more than one way to go? I wouldn't be leaving unless there's nowhere else to go.

 

[Leif]

Underdark -- fire temple

OOC: Ok, so I gather from this that you're all just walking down the corridor in the same manner that you have been exploring the rest of this area of Underdark. When you pass through the doorway out of the Fire Temple, the first thing you notice is that you are about 30 feet above the floor of the cave, proper. Said floor is reached by descending three large ledge-steps, each of which is about 10 feet high. Manny's going to be needing some help, unless he's got a suitable spell prepared. For that matter, you're all going to be needing some help unless you're willing to just take 1d6 falling damage three times. From the top, where you are now, you can see the cave spread out before you. You see the origin of the noises you heard before: it's the snoring of a DRAGON! He doesn't look too awfully big from where you're standing, but then you're standing 30 feet above him and a good 80 feet away laterally. Oh, and, yes, the dragon is reclining upon a large pile of gold, copper, and silver.

 

[Scott DeWar]

Capizzio advances into the next cavern, followed by the other wizards. (Assumption here, should anyone want to remain out on the ledge in the big ol' cavern, just let me know.) This cave was once a temple to Belphegor, or some other Evil God of Fire who is just as ugly. All religious paraphernalia has long since been removed, but the nature of the room is still quite obvious because of the lurid, violent murals on all of the walls that show fire rampaging across all the earth and consuming all in its path. There is a strong odor of sulfur that hangs heavily all over this room. It's odd, because while the scent is easily identifiable as sulfur, this smell assaults the olfactory senses much like a wet dog.

Cappy also hears the sound of soft snoring coming from the passageway.

which passage, vicinity of/ to the north of (AH, 198) or (am, 211) ?

OOC: Please tell me to where you are moving, and how?

that will depend on the direction of the snoring.

OOC: Sorry, DeWar, you're behind now. Check out post 838.
