"I don't like it out there either" Goban says, still looking out from one of the slits. "But maybe that's the point. We're dealing with the undead, were you expecting flowers and rainbows? Why don't we make our way back to where we came in. If we're still.... here... I say we make our way to that graveyard."
Goban then looks up at the position of the moon, trying to determine how much longer until daybreak |

"I'd agree with Goban here about going outside but first I think we should explore the rooms we did find further...I'd rather only have to come into this place once and if we can find what we are looking for sooner rather than heading outside and then back in...all the better. "

"Well either way let's head back down" Krazixs isn't too thrilled with the long descent, but at least it isn't up this time.

* The decent down the ancient & worn step is much easier,
after some time and a few circles around the down spiraling staircase, you arrive at the alcove that you entered from. And of course, the staircase continues down into what you know are the catacombs. * |

"Ok everyone we know there are two doors in this room we did not enter. Since one is on the balcony let's not go up there for now and lets focus on opening the doors near that idol.
Father, if you wouldn't mind preparing to do your deed again with the idol, that would be much appreciated. I don't mind being bait for any undead in the next room but I want a fisherman with a big knife waiting for me when I reel in the catch." Thantos moves into the room with the idol in it and moves across to the double doors. He draws his sword and waits until the others catch up before opening them.

At the same time Thantos beings walking into the room,the knight
Attrah began walking toward the staircase.Catching himself before running headfirst into the party,Attrah pauses before explaining his return. Addressing what remains of his comrades... "Our situation has gotten worse I'm afraid.While searching for Gell in the catacombs,I must have made an incorrect turn following Vinoh.He never answered my calls,and I have no idea which direction he may have gone..." "So now it is our decision..continue exploring the other rooms,or enter the catacombs and risk being seperated even further.As you can tell,I prefer the first option."

Krazixs bows his head in a silent prayer for the lost Vinoh. Moving across the room to stand next to Thantos,
" I believe we should fully explore the rooms around this place first, we may be able to find Vinoh that way."

"I too believe the rooms are the best direction," Father Quadrial added after some thought.
Walking to the idol which now felt like an old friend, the portly monk takes the necklace from inside his robes. Kneeling he thought of the companions they had lost. Gell and Tower their orc warriors had been lost along with Vinoh. He hoped this battle would prove worthy of their lives and not just another joust between the sides of dark and light that so often ground out the lives of the common folk and served little purpose. "Lets see if I can provide you with a hook and a big club for when you get the catch up on the bank." Father Quadrial said and returned to his prayers. The 'finely made source of great magical power' pulsed against his chest in time to his heart beat. |

Feeling loss for his newly found friend he see's that even if he did speak up for to go down and look for Vinoh it would be of no availe.. "I feel that Vinoh will be alright" Darghon smiles slightly "We should search these rooms some"
He walks over and ready's his light blade hilt. "Lets do this.."

"OK then...D'Aleen gets to bring up the rear on this one...lets open these doors."
Moving over to the wooden doors with his sword drawn, Thantos pauses for a second and looks back at his companions; his friends. Looking at their faces, Thantos sees determination, steadfastness, and even eagerness in their faces. Turning back to the door with a slight smile he knows these people have adventure and sacrifice flowing thickly through their blood. Reaching out with his sword he first attempts to push and/or pull the door from a distance with his sword. If the door fails to open he will reach over to the handle and try to pull or lean into the door with his shoulder to try to push it.

* The ancient & great doors open with some effort after a bit.
The hinges squealing with echoes in the great room. Beyond is a long, dusty hallway the leading further into the dark heart of the Tomb. Statues line the hallway on both sides. You can see only so far down this passage. * |

Goban concentrates his will on the ring he's wearing, trying to will it to shine light again. Once again, the ring ignited with it's warm glow, but he still wasn't quite sure how the ring worked. 'That's what makes it magic, I guess' he though to himself.
'There, that's a little better' he said, shining the light all around the entrance, at the floors, statues, and ceiling, trying to find anything suspicious. |

"Not really a letdown.It seems the passage goes deeper in.That is the goal isn't it? "
Putting his sword away,the knight takes a torch in its place.His shield in his off-hand,he begins making his way through the tunnel.Watching carefully,he waits for the others to follow. Not sure of what to expect,Attrah recalls how to activate his shield..just in case.Being prepared would be invaluable. |

Moving after the other, Thantos keeps his sword drawn and his eye on the statues.
"Remember everyone there is one other door way back in that room, we'll go down the hallway right now but remember it if there is nothing down this way."

After watching Thantos open the ancient doors, D'Aleen follows after the group trying to see down the long corridor. Feeling uneasy leaving the Father behind alone, despite the icon, she pulls her bow from her back and gets ready for what may come.
"I hope that icon works more than once if the Father has visitors..." OOC: Sorry all for the delay, was away unexpectedly & for longer than I thought!

* The statues line the hallway on both sides all the way down, as you expected.
Their eyes seeming to watch you as you pass. The quiet is eerie. You light finally hits the other side as you walk. At the end of the passage, you see another set of doors as the ones you just passed through. * |

Walking inside the great hall,the knight waits a moment before signaling it is clear up to the doorway.
Glad that at least the torches were lit,Attrah strikes out his own on the ground.Brandishing his sword and shield again,he gives the rest of his comrades time to enter the doors. Last edited by Apokx; 07-27-2003 at 11:10 PM.. |

* The dust & webs cast strange, moving shadows across the faces of stone gargoyles
squatting motionlessly on the rim of the domed ceiling. Cracked & faded ceiling frescoes are covered by centuries of decay. Two doors of bronze stand closed on the other side. To your right, a very wide staircase climbs into darkness. To your left, a vaulted hall. * |

Agreeing with the strange little man, Goban tightens his grip on his sword. Following his hand's lead, the rest of his muscles tense up, preparing to strike at a moment's notice.
"So, which way do we go now? I'm not in the mood for any more stairs, myself. Why don't we see what's behind the doors?" |

Raising his staff high so that its light casts a pool of glowing warmth over the party Father Quadrial watches his companions backs.
He had taken this position many times in his days as a soldier. What lay ahead could be dangerous but what came up behind you was deadly. |

"I think you must be right Krazixs. This must have been a glorious place some time ago though...a shame it ended up like this.
I'm all for Goban's idea. If we can't get the doors open we can always check out the hall to the left." D'Aleen fingers her bow and looks around warily while waiting for the others to decide which route to take.

"I agree we need to be on our guard. Let us quickly search this hall first before continuing through doors. Doors at least keep us from being seen. If there is something at the other end of this vaulted hall it has no doubt seen us. I have no desire to be attacked from both ends at once."
Thantos, with sword drawn moves down the hall looking around to see if anything catches his notice. As he is going he looks at the walls to see if there are any paintings or markings that he can read.

* Torchlight flutters against the walls of this vaulted hall. To your left, a single arched corridor of stone masonry is lit by light from the circular stair visible some 20 feet away. The light is coming up from the staircase, it also descends into a terrible darkness. Beside the opening, a suit of armor, oiled & glistening, stands attention in a shallow alcove. To your right on the far wall, large double doors hang slightly open, a steady bright light escaping through the opening. * Last edited by rogue49; 07-29-2003 at 06:25 PM.. |

"It would seem as if someone or something might be expecting us". Krazixs looks toward the doors that hang slightly open.

"Well,of course.Something has been expecting us the entire time.
I see no point in keeping whoever it is waiting." Walking toward the steady beam of light,Attrah places his shield against one of the doors,and begins to push. |

"Attrah..NOOOO...." (OOC: sorry just had to say that once..now back to the story..)
Moving with Attrah to the door, Thantos stands beside the doorway (next to the wall) and holds his sword at the ready. "We may as well check as much as we can, and quickly since this place could be huge. "

* This is a magnificent 40-foot square room, brillantly lit by 3 massive crystal chandeliers.
Pillars of stone stand against dull white marble walls, supporting the ceiling. In the center of the room, a long, heavy table stands covered with a fine white satin cloth. The table is laden with delectable foods of every type: roasted beast basted in a savory sauce, roots & herbs of every taste, sweet fruits & vegetables. Places are set for each of you with fine delicate china & silver. At each place there is a crystal goblet filled with an amber liquid whose delicate fragrance tantalizes your senses. At the center of the far wall, between floor-to-ceiling length mirrors, stands a massive organ. Its pipes blare out a thunderous melody that offers in its tone greatness & despair. Seated before the keys, its back to you a single caped figure pounds the keys in captured ecstasy. The figure suddenly stops & a deep silence falls over the dining hall. The figure slowly turns toward you.* |

"This..can't be good."
Raising his voice to be heard across the room,Attrah addresses the caped figure. "Lo there,who are you? I am Sir Attrah,and that is the only name you shall have for now." While waiting for a reply,the knight checks the room for any advantage. The knight's mind,cranking with ideas and possiblities.An illusion,trap..both? And this food,an obvious trap. So simple,why would anyone be expected to fall for this? Wondering what role this "Maestro" would play.. |
