X4-5: across the mountains - IC

[Rhun]

"I am unsure of the sort of armor. Let us take a closer look." With that, Aram leads the way toward the statue, his scimitar brandished, ready for any surprises.

 

[Leif]

OOC: Clarify, please?

OOC: I wasn't 100% sure from the earlier post: it SEEMED like the snake was part of the statue, but then it also seemed like maybe the snake was really alive and just lying on the statue. Can we get a clarification before one of us gets within striking distance?

IC: 'Watch yourself, Aram. For your information, there will be some cases where I will absolutely refuse to suck the poison out!"

 

[kinem]

ooc: You got it. It is either a very realistic snake statue, or a snake that camoflauges itself by holding very still and looking stony. Girgal knows that such snakes do exist, but maybe the sculptor knew it too.

When Aram enters the cavern, the statue of the man speaks in a loud voice! Its mouth moves as if it were alive, but it does not look like a real person - it is chiseled of stone.

“Ah, small beings, you have come to do homage to me and my gods! Kneel and pray for our mercy!”

Bevin casts a quick glance to each of his friends to see if they begin to kneel, or if they remain erect in defiance of the 'god.'

Girgal simply kneels down, prepared (hopefully) for everything.

Following Girgal's example, Bevin also kneels. Grudgingly and slowly.

ooc: Girgal just has no problem in accepting the power of the gods, or being called small

OOC: Neither does Bevin. He's just not convinced that this is a real god.

 

[Rhun]

Seeing his companions kneel, Aram follows suit. He was not very religious, and honored several deities himself, but bowing before an unknown presence made him a bit skittish. He kept his blades readied at his side as he kneeled, ready to spring into action should the need arise.

 

[kinem]

The group kneels silently before the strange statue of the armored man.

And then ... the statue says nothing, and does nothing that a statue wouldn't normally do.

There is a very faint, muffled noise that seems to have come from the tunnel across the cave, beyond the statue.
