(YBA) Drax in Wicht's Lair

[Wicht]

As Drax makes his way to the top of the stairs behind the secret door he hears something scuttling in the darkness below.

 

[Dalamar]

Drax turns around to see what is it that moves behind him. He'll watch for a while, waiting.

 

[Wicht]

something moved below - i.e. in the room at the bottom of the secret stairs

There is nothing behind Drax, but something is very certainly moving about at the end of the stairs atop which Drax is standing.

Drax notices that there are thick cobwebs not too far down the stairs and that near the floor, one of these cobwebs seems to be holding the dried corpse of a rat.

 

[Dalamar]

Near the floor? Not on the floor?
Eww... Don't want to meet the thing that did that.
Seeing that there's a spider big enough to catch a rat, Drax lights the cobwebs he can reach and then will move away from the secret tunnel (unless stopped, of course )

 

[Wicht]

As Drax lights the webs on fire, the flickering flames illuminate a very large spider sitting in the shadows. It does not stir as Drax backs quickly up to the top of the stairs.

 

[Dalamar]

Me and my big mou.. mind. Should've shut up.
Drax tries to see where he is. Hopefully the top of the stairs features an exit.

 

[Wicht]

The top of the stairs leads out into the room with the large stalagmite. A secret door in that room leads to the stairs going down. Drax is currently on the stairs, albeit at the top, near the room with the stalagmite, looking down into a secret room.

Drax enters again the room with the large stalagmite. As the light pulls back from the secret stairs, Drax again hears the spider in the room at the bottom of the stairs move.

 

[Dalamar]

"Don't like light, eh? Stay there then."
Drax moves to study the stalagmite after he makes sure there's nobody hiding in the room.

 

[Wicht]

Other than the now empty torch sconce, there is nothing remarkable about the stalagmite other than its size.

 

[Dalamar]

"Bah!"
Done with the stalagmite, Drax eyes the room for hidden secrets and other stuff.
