"Yes, I suppose that is also a possibility! Ach! How I miss my homeland in the mountains where we have civilized people who would not even consider cannibalism!"

Girgal checks the area for signs of recent disturbance, and decides that he doesn't see any.

[sblock=ooc]Girgal doesn't have the Track feat, so his high Survival skill doesn't help here.[/sblock]

Aram cocks an eye at Bevin. "Is that so? I had a dwarven companion once that used to claim eating orc brains roasted while still in the orc skull was an uncomparable delicacy."

"Ahh, but I said cannibalism, as in eating creatures that are considered people! Surely you don't consider a dirty orc to be on the same level as a worthy and noble Dwarf? But this Dwarf that you speak of must have been ill or something if he would voluntarily place the flesh of a filthy creature like an orc in his mouth!"

Aram shrugs. "Well, I kind of thought that all dwarves were a few stones short of a fortress. Inbreeding, and all that." The dervish turns away from Bevin and begins to lead the way back the other direction, smiling as he does.

" 'A few stones shy of a fortress,' eh? It's lucky for you that I am able to make allownaces for the weaker minds such as yourself that are so common among Hoomans."

The party heads back up the tunnel, then continues further, passing a small empty chamber and then coming to another "T" intersection.

To the left side, you are startled to see a large man in exotic black armor.

On a second look, it is just a statue, in the middle of a roundish chamber. The statue includes a large snake draped around the man's neck. Another tunnel opens into the chamber on the opposite side.

The right hand passage is another long tunnel, and you can't see past a bend in it from the intersection.

"What manner of edifice is this?" says Bevin.

OOC: Does Bevin recognize the garments or armor style of the statue as being particularly associated with any certain kingdom or historical era? Is the snake also carved of stone, or is it alive? What kind of snake is it?

 

[kinem]

The style of the armor appears unusual - none of the party recognizes it.

Your impression (looking into the room from the T intersection) is that the snake is part of the statue, but you would would have to take a closer look to be sure.

"Hey, Girgal! You're good with animals. Why don't you go and make friends with that snake?"

And, looking at the armor, Bevin says, "Aram, what kind of freaky armor is that? That must be some weird human contrivance, eh?"
