Girgal nods at Father Fuller's suggestion, but shrugs as Bevin takes his own initiative.

There is not room to step back much. The party could retreat up a corridor to the south or west. (ooc: I will assume you stay near the entrance.)

When the celestial dog enters the dark doorway, you hear moans and near-human cries! The sounds seem to echo up through the floor. The bewildered dog barks.

There seems to be no other effect; walking on the tiles somehow produces the sound effects.

ooc: Leif, does Bevin wish to send the dog further in, past the arch and into the main temple? If so, how would he communicate that fact to it? Summoned monsters don't automatically understand spoken commands, though I was generous with the monkey.

Bevin calls the dog back to him for now.

"Well that was almost a let-down, wasn't it? Shall we proceed?" Bevin has Fido 'heel' and stay near him.
 

Aram draws his blades and prepares to move into the chamber. "You," he says pointing a scimitar at the dwarf, "and you," he continues, pointing the other at Fuller, "Be ready."

With that, the dervish begins to move slowly into the room, testing each tile before he puts his full weight onto it.

"Come along, then, faithful hound. You will soon see, I think, that it is unwise to fail to heed our prickly dervish companion. He is somewhat self-important, it is true, but that, as you'll also see, is not totally unjustified." ;)

Bevin and Fido follow. Fido even tries not to pant excessively and also to totally refrain from drooling. He is less successful with the drooling thing, though. :)

The moans and cries continue whenever anyone steps on a tile, making entering the temple a rather creepy experience.

As Aram approaches the archway with his everburning torch, it becomes clear that the dark object in the next room is a large cauldron.

ooc: Do you go past the arch into the main temple?

Bevin will, as usual, follow Aram and Father Fuller. :D
