Yttermayn's "Saga of the Dragon Cult" (IC)

[Yttermayn]

Rosalia's toss makes it into the cavern roughly 30 feet. It lights up enough of the area to show that about 20 feet in, the entrance tunnel widens out into a larger room of unknown size. The coin lands amid what seems to be a thick layer of assorted debris, though from this distance it is hard to tell exactly what the debris consists of. The only notable exception is a ribcage-shaped shadow cast back along the ceiling of the entrance tunnel.

Grok waits with the others and is now starting to fidget.

John Blushes a deeper red at the complement from the rogue.

Scrag watches Rosalia intently, though not for the same reasons as the others. Her scrawny, oddly shaped (to him) frame and bland, texture-less skin were thoroughly unappealing to him in that fashion, but he worried for her safety.

Thrindar : Male Dwarf Evoker

Thrindar is actually repulsed by the sight of the female rogue but he keeps his opinions to himself because Toby seemed to like everyone. Seeing the girl wave them forward the dwarf followed by the cat move forward as quietly as possible. Once he gets closer to the cave he peers into the cave while listening for any things of interest.

OOC:
Thrindar: Move Silently +3, Listen +4, Spot +4
Toby: Move Silently +6

 

[Amaury]

Rosalia walks into the cavern, mindful not to hit any debris or stones.

She notices the room in front of her and immediately stops, raising her hand in the air to gesture 'stop' to her companions.

She resumes her walk towards the room but far more cautiously, checking the ground, ceiling and walls as she gets near the room entrance and at the entrance itself.

If she is satisfied that there are no traps, she'll walk into the room and wave her companions forward.


OOC: am i correct to assume that the shadow is Rosalia's??
Take 20 on Search near the entrance and at the entrance. is the room empty?

OOC: Hmmm, I was trying to create some mental imagery but it appears I've failed. [sblock=Here

Rosalia is certain that the 20' long entrance tunnel is completely free of traps, but much of the room beyond is unknowable to her current means of detection without getting to the end of the tunnel and maybe improving lighting conditions. The others can just make her silloughette out of the gloom waving them forward as she reaches the beginning of the room. Rosalia's example of stealth was unmatched, and there appears to be no reaction to her intrusion. Likewise, there was no reaction to the motions of the others as they approach the cave entrance from thier hiding place. John notes an uncomfortable closeness, and turns to see Jakobee looking oddly at his staff. The staff seems to pulse briefly with a subsonic thrum that dissipates almost instantly. Jakobee holds his hands up and gives John an innocent look that seems to convey an 'I didn't do it!' message.

Roderic leads the rest of the group in approaching Rosalia, knowing their lack of stealth may bring on a confrontation.

john looks to the shadow of a ribcage on the cave wall and sees it is from the proximity of a sceleton to his en lightened coin producing the eerie effect. just then he feels another eerie feeling of someone or thing too close to him.
suddenly: *thrummm*
he turns to see Jakobee in his 'i diddn't do it' gesture which john gives him a dirty look and whispers,"I know you didn't do it. it does not like you."

"Perhaps. Perhaps I would have to force my will upon it to master its magics. Or perhaps it senses and is calling out for me. Care to test your theory and see how it responds to my hand?" There is a smile upon Jakobee's dark face as he extends his hand to accept the staff if John will relinquish it.
