Chris T.:All good thanks :)
Hoping we can get a bit more light on the job this evening!
Kenny - Syrus:You mean in the game?
Kenny - Syrus:I doubt it - most DMs like their "dynamic lighting so we can't see what we are not meant to! LOL
Kenny - Syrus:...Talking of which - Hi Simon!! :)
Simon N. (GM):Hi chaps :)
Chris T.:I think we have both Keelia and James tonight too? :)
Kenny - Syrus:Ohhhh I have yet to meet Keelia and James properly - we overlapped on last Sat's game
Chris T.:Quick question, Simon... Do those with Dark Vision have things visible within their range?
Kenny - Syrus:Yes for Syrus
So you can see the rest of us blundering about? :D
Kenny - Syrus:Not unless I am near you - Dark Vision has a range also...
Kenny - Syrus:Hello Rich! :)
Simon N. (GM):Syrus has darkvision 60' and can see twice as far in low light yup
Chris T.:But within 60' it displays in shades of grey?
Simon N. (GM):I set it on grey tint I think
Hiya Geoff
Simon N. (GM):Hi James :)
Kenny - Syrus:@Chris Yes I think - now assuming that dungeons are always Grey!

Simon N. (GM):Hi Keelia! Qiviel was in Chaney Manor that evening with Rip Tear when she heard
EVEN MORE evil needed vanquishing! Over at the Crypt of the Everflame in the Darkwood...
GM: I'll assume the group are taking a Short Rest after battle with skeletons
Syrus (Kenny):YES PLEASE!!!
Erasmus:It would probably be worth reconvening, yes.
WhiteValyrian:oh please do
so we roll a hitdie?
Syrus (Kenny):Syrus can sing a "Song of Rest" if anyone wants to spend their hit dace for an addition 1d6 healing?
Simon N. (GM):Qiviel & Rip Tear hear Syrus' Song of Rest emanating from within the Crypt, through a door up stairs on the left wall.
Chris T.:Can you heal 'Aid' HP with healing dice or are they now gone if you lost 'em?)
Syrus (Kenny):Yays to Mirabelle!!! :)
WhiteValyrian:hello Jelly
Simon N. (GM):You can heal Aid hp normallly but your Aid from last night has expired now.
Qiviel:Q follows her ears :)
Erasmus:Shall we head into the main room to ensure everyone benefits, Syrus?

Jelly:Still not working, I'll reload.
Syrus (Kenny):AH ok we are back to main foyer!
Qiviel:Q bows slightly in response. "Greetings, Lady Victoria. I heard evil was afoot. I thought myself and my friend RipTear would come and assist."

Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc a crypt filled with undead apparently
Erasmus:OOC Did you all get your loot from the orc caves?
Simon N. (GM):Mirabelle - the Everflame at Cumin Manor is fading, you have come to the Everflame Crypt as it's getting too dangerous for your sisters - if you could light a torch or lantern with the Everflame you could bring it back to Cumin Manor for another year...
Chris T.:I think we need as many light sources as we can get..
Jelly:Oooh fantastic, backstory quest!
Mirabelle (Jelly):Mirabelle will cast Light
Simon N. (GM):You are at Everflame Crypt east of Chaney manor. 11 adventurers tonight inc 2 NPCs, I pity the poor monsters!
Erasmus:"If someone can cast Light on my staff, that'll help me see in the dark."
Simon N. (GM):Mirabelle's mage staff shines in the darkness.
Chris T.:Jack lights another torch after his rest
Simon N. (GM):GM: Syrus can you do Light on Erasmus?
Riptear:Rip just looks around, not needing the light
Chris T.:(Jack now 20/20HP, Simon)
Syrus (Kenny):@GM Syrus doesn't have light spell :-P
Syrus (Kenny):And the moon sword went back to The Hag :-(

Simon N. (GM):Chris can you edit Jack's token to raise his hp (green) to 20?
OOC yes you sure can :)
Syrus (Kenny):@Erasmus "Would you like my candle? Thats all I can offer, my friend.."
Simon N. (GM):GM: There's a strange elf & a bald warrior in with several familiar (to Mirabelle) faces from last night's battle with the orcs.
GM: I've put yellow marks on those w torches or magic light
Syrus (Kenny):we have yet to loot the Orcs....!
Riptear:Dark vision ftw :P
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"oh newcomers always good to have extra help Strohm is my name what is yours"
approaching Mirrabelle Simon N. (GM):The orcs were definitely looted!
Rich - Ulric:@Mirabelle, Qiviel and Riptear "Ulric Iceshadow - Veteran of the Zhengyi Wars. At your service"
Mirabelle (Jelly):Mirabelle: a human woman in her early thirties, with reddish-black hair and green eyes. She wears a blue velvet gown that at first glance looks impractical for adventuring. She has earrings, bracelet and necklace made of a mixture of semi-precious stones, and a wizard's staff. A large wine-skin hangs at her belt.
Syrus (Kenny):Ohhhh when you said Orcs you meant the caves, of course! :-P
Mirabelle (Jelly):A pleasure to meet you, master Iceshadow!
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:looks bored Syrus (Kenny):While introductions were being made, Syrus offers a game of patty-cake with Jack Riptear:Rip looks at Jyrdani
Erasmus:Erasmus goes and sits next to Jyrdani. "Let's be bored together, huh?"
Riptear:@I can see the look on your face, lets get going"
Chris T.:The serious young man looks at the Bard like he's bonkers :D
Norrin (Geoff):The tall blond Northman steps forward. He's wearing plate armor, carries a longsword of ancient design, and a shield with an eagle crest. "Norrin, son of Thorrin," he says by ways of introduction.
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"Lady Mirabelle, we are most glad to have your assistance here, in the sacred vault of the Everflame, where your illustrious ancestor Sammael Chaney lies buried."
Syrus (Kenny):Syrus rolls eyes at Jack and leaves Mirabelle (Jelly):I'm honoured, too! The more the merrier, I always say, especially when it comes to dungeons.....
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"I fear that Evil has claimed this place... I only hope the Everflame itself is not corrupted!"
Chris T.:Jack is happy to play rear-guard
Erasmus:"I'll stay near you, if you don't mind. I can't see past my own nose in here."
Syrus (Kenny):Syrus walks to his old companions and joins in the boredom Mirabelle (Jelly):Hmmm, perhaps I can cast some light on your staff, Erasmus?
Qiviel:"Qiviel of the Golden Cup. My companion is RipTide," she motions to the half orc elsewhere. "Sir Jack, good to fight beside you again."
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:smiles sidewise at Erasmus "There's a door in this room too...,"
Riptear:Rip nods at the others
Chris T.:"And you m'lady."
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"oh so this crypt is not abandoned does that mean to we cannot take anything from this crypt i presume miss mirabelle"
Syrus (Kenny):Syrus bows to Qiviel and Rip Erasmus:To Mirabelle: "You have Light on your staff. It's fine, I'll stay with Jyrdani. But thank you."
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:opens door Erasmus:"Shall we? Ladies first."

Syrus (Kenny):"Ulric and I broke 2 of those rusty Skellys in ere earlier"
Syrus (Kenny):"Oh I meant Norrin and I!!!"
Simon N. (GM):Entry: An archway of stone is set into the side of a small hill at the
bottom of the valley. Moss has overgrown many of the details,
but one is still quite clear. The keystone of the arch is carved
Simon N. (GM):with a flame symbol with a stylized rune in the middle. Beyond
the archway is a darkened tunnel that leads to a pair of massive
wooden doors, slightly ajar.
Pool: In the center of this room is a large pool of clear water, fed by
a fountain on the wall above it. The fountain has a stone statue
Simon N. (GM):of a weeping St Cecilia holding the slain body of Sammael Cumin.
Syrus (Kenny):"OH no it was Ulric"
Rich - Ulric:I was there didn't do much
Mirabelle (Jelly):To Strohm: Although I am the biggest magpie of them all, I would appreciate it if you didn't take anything, thankyou, Sir?....
Rich - Ulric:Hot 1 - little damage
Simon N. (GM):Jyrdani enters the Room of Reflection, torch high.
Room of Reflection: A small stone bench sits in the center of this dusty chamber.
On the far wall is a mural depicting the hero Sammael Cumin
defeating the mercenaries at the entrance to this crypt, with
his blade piercing the chest of the mercenary leader. These
figures stand alone in the center of a scene of carnage, with
dead villagers and mercenaries all around them.
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"Sir Strohm at your service"
Syrus (Kenny):@GM can I check for anything hidden in this mural?
Mirabelle (Jelly):A pleasure to meet you, Sir Strohm!
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"Quite tragic is it not"
Seeing the statues Mirabelle (Jelly):Mirabelle says a prayer at the statue of St Cecilia.
Simon N. (GM):GM: Syrus can roll Perception
as he searches the mural
Kenny - Syrus:Perception(+3)
Syrus, Bard of Many Guises
Erasmus:OOC How long do the Aid Hit Points last?
Simon N. (GM):It seems to be just a mural. Sammael Cumin in his shining plate armour, flaming longsword held high as he drives back the army of Asar Kessell, his one time friend turned bandit lord, into these very crypts.
Syrus (Kenny):"Nothing much but a bit of story telling here folks - I could do better myself!"
Simon N. (GM):The mural shows Sammael striking down Asar.
Aid lasts 8 hours so gone
Syrus (Kenny):"Shall we continue North?"
Simon N. (GM):this is about 24 hours since you got Aid to fight the orcs
Riptear:Rip pushes past the others eager to move on
Mirabelle (Jelly):Mirabelle will move up to the mural and look wistfully at her heroic ancestor...
Simon N. (GM):The door opens
Stop guys
Syrus (Kenny):@TEAM" stay near the outer walls!!"
Simon N. (GM):Pit: A single pillar in the center of the room supports this wide,
domed chamber. The pillar is surrounded by a 20' pit, but a stone
bridge crosses the pit from the north.
Mirabelle (Jelly):Can we all move up, please?
Syrus (Kenny):@GM Can Syrus inspect the carving/writing?

Mirabelle (Jelly):There must be some way to bring more light,.......
Erasmus:Hearing the confused noises emanating from ahead, Erasmus squeezes past Jyrdani to assess...*
Glancing around, he sees nothing...
Simon N. (GM):that was about 50' move
Erasmus:He takes a defensive stance in anticipation Syrus (Kenny):Can Syrus holds his action please - trigger will be as soon as Shadow next re-appears? He will cast Vicious Mockery as soon as Shadow reappears
Syrus Readies, the words are on your lips!
Syrus (Kenny):(And the word could be "You C

Simon N. (GM):Sentry Gun icon for Readied Action - machinegin wit :)

Syrus (Kenny):YES! Shadow is his advantage on his next attack!!!

Chris T.:Jack wonders what the heck is going on up ahead... He makes a mental note to mention to the rest that whatever those pointy things on the pedestals on each corner of the pool are that they look to him like they twist around. He then takes the dash action to catch up.

AC 12
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc its cool Simon
Simon N. (GM):HIT! With a silent scream, it disintegrates!
Victoria of the Golden Cup:looks vaguely disappointed Erasmus:"Thanks for the idea, Victoria!"
Victoria of the Golden Cup:Victoria smiles back, mollified.
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"Hey, no flirting with the monk! He's mine!"
Norrin (Geoff):Norrin leans against the wall, gasping...
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:winks at Erasmus
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"You're wounded, Sir Norrin!"
Chris T.:"Here, Norrin. Take these gauntlets. They will give you great strength even following that attack."
Jack gives the Gauntlets of Ogre Power to the mighty fighter.
Syrus (Kenny):@GM Can Syrus inspects the inscription around the pit please?
Riptear:"I did most of the work!"
Victoria of the Golden Cup:checks him "The Shadow Bane is temporary, if they are stopped in time. You should recover from the unnatural lassitude if you rest for an hour or so."
Norrin (Geoff):"No, Jack. You've earned those. I will be fine, after some rest. Or a cleric or two."
Victoria of the Golden Cup:GM: Norrin can rest for an hour to get STR back which is how long it takes to attune to the gauntlets :D
well it was just an idea :)
Simon N. (GM):Syrus inspects the inscription. It is ancient, in the old Narfell script.
It's basically Abyssal.
Erasmus:"Jyrdani, you're Nar right?"
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"Once, bad men lived here. Once, but long ago."
"This is a Pit of Oblivion - they used it for human sacrifices."
Syrus (Kenny):"Ewwwww!!!"
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"Mirabelle ancestor or someone else?"
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:shines torch down "I can see a body down there."
Erasmus:"How deep is it?"
Syrus (Kenny):"Is it carrying Gold???"
Simon N. (GM):GM: Syrus w your darkvision you make out a corpse down the 20' pit, dressed in the same Cultist outfit as Vex's mob from the Toll bridge.
Chris T.:"Lower me down if you like?"
Mirabelle (Jelly):I doubt it would be anything to do with my bloodline!!
Riptear:Rip tosses him in without a rope
Chris T.:"I'll take a look."
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"possibly unless they strip there sacrifice beforehand"
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"This was an evil place once, but it was Cleansed in the holy light of St Cecilia! But now Evil has returned..."
looks troubled Syrus (Kenny):To Erasmus, Jelly and Jyrdani "Hey, that body down is is dressed as one of the Cultists we met back at the toll bridge!!"
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"interesting"
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:ties rope round pillar Syrus (Kenny):"Did they sacrifice one of their own to their hideous toad god with the lazy eyes???"
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"Maybe..."
Simon N. (GM):Jack heads down the rope.
Chris T.:Jack slides down her rope.
Erasmus:"So the cult of Tsathoggua has taken to defiling sactified crypts, too. Our urgency to deal with them must be renewed."
Mirabelle (Jelly):Hmmm, this doesn't sound good!
Chris T.:If he gets to the bottom safely he will hold up his torch to illuminate the scene
Mirabelle (Jelly):GM can Mirabelle do a religion check?
Rich - Ulric:Ulrics keeping n eye out in case anything else surprises us
Norrin (Geoff):"A ready supply of corpses to animate, I would be guessing."
Qiviel:Q leans over to watch Jack descend.
Simon N. (GM):GM: At the bottom of the pit Jack finds the dead body - human male, a few weeks dead, bit stinky. Under the cultist hood his face bears a horrified expression. He shows signs of stab wounds in his back prior to death in the pit fall.
Riptear:Rip shoves Chris in
Chris T.:And searches the cultist's body.
Erasmus:"How long would you say they'd been there?"
Syrus (Kenny):Shouts down to Jack "IS THERE ANY GOLD"
Riptear:"I'll throw down a ropeonce you've found something
Chris T.:Jack remembers why Orcs are his hated enemy :D
Simon N. (GM):>>Rip shoves Chris in<< no jokes please James, no voice tone in text chat!
Mirabelle (Jelly):Any treasure found here comes with 10% tax, payable to me!
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc lol
Simon N. (GM):He has a money pouch
Riptear:ooc k, nothing from
Simon N. (GM):rolling 3d6

6 silver pieces!
brb drinks run
Syrus (Kenny):Syrus rolls eyes and back away Chris T.:Jack tosses this up. No documents or other identification?
Mirabelle (Jelly):That's usually Mirabelle's line! She takes a swig from her wine pouch.
Simon N. (GM):no documents
Chris T.:Whilst down there he searches around for secret exits.
Simon N. (GM):that's what he looks like
Syrus (Kenny):Ohhhh! haha
Chris T.:OOC Was he dead from a broken neck or weapon wounds?)
Simon N. (GM):GM Norrin completes a Short Rest - (you all can) & recovers STR, and can roll 'hit dice' to heal up. There are a couple doors out of the main room you open, but nnone in the pit
Chris T.:Jack takes 10 and climbs back upthe rope.
Simon N. (GM):@Geoff you have 4 'hit dice' you can use to self heal, once per long rest
Erasmus:"Shall we continue on?"
(To Jyrdani)
Syrus (Kenny):If anyone takes another hit dice, then Syrus can sing a Song of Rest for extra 1d6 heals?
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"there is two paths do we split the group?"
Simon N. (GM):Norrin is on 22/40 and would recover d10+3 per hit die spent
If Syrus sings nicely he also gets a single bonus d6
afk
Norrin (Geoff):Okay he'll use one.
Syrus (Kenny):Syrus singsa wee song in Scottish accent "Oh Danny Boyyyyyyy..."
@NORRIN roll an extra 1d6 for additional HPs
I can roll it
ok back to full
Syrus (Kenny):@Team "OK shall we split into 2 groups?"
Simon N. (GM):GM: It's after midnight now
Erasmus you think you saw something big move down your tunnel
Chris T.:OOC Splitting the partyis rarely a good idea and will drive the DM bonkers :D
Erasmus:How big is 'big'?
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc oh okay
Riptear:ooc When has plitting a party ever worked xD
Mirabelle (Jelly):OOC I can do one more hour GM til 8.30.
Chris T.:OOC Scooby Doo proves that every time :)
Qiviel:(splitting the party would make it too hard for Simon, no?)
(I think I have lag, suddenly got other messages :D )
Erasmus:"There is something ahead. I'm happy to bo and check it out, but I'll need light which will give me away. Any one that can see in the dark that can move quietly?"
Simon N. (GM):Jyrdani puts down her expended torch, readies sword & shield
Riptear:I can see in the dark
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"unfortunately no as as my armour often makes noise"
Riptear:only +1 to stealth
Syrus (Kenny):I can stealth ahead with Strohm?
Mirabelle (Jelly):I can stealth too
Syrus (Kenny):@Mirabelle but you need light, right?
Mirabelle (Jelly):Oh I see, yes I do!
Simon N. (GM):Anyone stealthing will still have light behind them anyway
Erasmus:Go for it Syrus. Be sure to keep your distance and come back once you see anything"
Simon N. (GM):so they'll be nicely silhouetted
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc i got disadvantage on stealth
Syrus (Kenny):OK unless we extinguish all lights, we may as well just pile down that tunnel?
Erasmus:Not if we move all the light sources from the door.
Syrus (Kenny):Unless all light sources pile down the previous tunnel?
Simon N. (GM):ok you could move all light sources & send Syrus down alone?
& shut door behind him? :D
Chris T.:"Would you like meto lookfor tracks? What ever it is must have gone down there recently."
"Perhaps I can guess what it is by its tracks?"
Erasmus:"move light sources into the tunnel on the right, Syrus sneak ahead, come back and report what you find. DO NOT go getting killed, friend."
Syrus (Kenny):To Erasmus "OK, if we do this, once you close the door behind me, I will knock softly 3 times on my return then you open door - if I BANG on the door this means get your weapons ready!!"
Chris T.:Jack shrugs and goes to hide his light.
Riptear:"What if we hear you scream...."
Erasmus:"Should be no need to close the door if the lights are extinguished or moved far enough away."
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"Victoria where are you going?"
Syrus (Kenny):@Riptear "If you hear me scream, hopefully you will come rushing with weapons ready, my friend..."
Mirabelle (Jelly):OOC what could possibly go wrong lol
Erasmus:"Mirabelle, can you put your light out for now?"
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"To hide the light of my sword, Sir Strohm."
Syrus (Kenny):@Erasmus "Good point - no light = no need to shut door"
Mirabelle (Jelly):Yes I'll extinguish it
Syrus (Kenny):@GM lemme know when all lights are out/hidden and if/when you want me to do a stealth check
Simon N. (GM):ok it's getting dark... Syrus you should be ok now to stealth
Chris T.:OOC I think mine has gone?
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"oh i see for second i thought you went alone again dont want a lovely lady like you get ambushed again"
Syrus (Kenny):@Erasmus "you may wanna close this door quietly now...."
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"Please don't trouble yourself on my account, Sir Strohm."
Syrus (Kenny):"The corridor ahead leads to a big room with pillars, and in the middle of it rests a GIANT beetle!!"
Erasmus:Closes door quietly "What did you see?"
Syrus (Kenny):"The corridor ahead leads to a big room with pillars, and in the middle of it rests a GIANT beetle!!"
Simon N. (GM):OOC what was your Stealth roll Syrus?
Syrus (Kenny):Yes Echo Chamber!
Kenny - Syrus:Stealth(+4)
Syrus, Bard of Many Guises
Simon N. (GM):The beetle seemed oblivious
You can roll INT (Nature) Syrus
Syrus (Kenny):OOC soz you didn't say roll Stealth :-P
@Erasmus "Yes, all I could see was one - but I did not see the whole echo chamber so there could be others hidden away..."
"I think with so many of us, we can take it on though! Just need a plan..... maybe we can surprise it?"
Simon N. (GM):GM: It'll see the humans' light
Syrus (Kenny):"OR - we can lure it in this chamber and push it down the Pit!!"
Erasmus:"If ten of us can't handle a giant beetle, what hope do any of us have of dealing with the cultof Tsathoggua?"
Syrus (Kenny):OOC if we go with latter option we may even get inspiration points from the GM ;)
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"how giant is the giant beetle?"
Riptear:"perhaps the ones taht cannot see can hold onto the ones that can until we start the battle?"
Syrus (Kenny):@Strohm "one square size"
Norrin (Geoff):"It might here us coming, even if it can't see us."
Simon N. (GM):GM: It's about horse size
much bigger than a fire beetle
Riptear:"Then maybe wake it up an draw it in here?"
Simon N. (GM):A big horse
Syrus (Kenny):"If I can lure it into this room and the rest of you hide on either side of the doorway, you lot may surprise it?
Erasmus:"Or those that can see take flanking positions before we bring the light in. Hopefully we'll be able to hae more opportunities to attack from multiple angles."
"We may be better off if we have a little more space than this cramped room"
Norrin (Geoff):Norrin nods. "We can send someone with a torch in there to attract its attention, and lead it back here, where we can kill it."
Syrus (Kenny):"Why don't we being the Beetle to us here though? We can all ready an action and use it the minute it enters this room?"
@Norrin "Exactly!"
"And we won't get stuck in another tunnel!"
Erasmus:"I'm happy to go and draw it out with a torch, if that's the plan."
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"sounds good"
readies sword Syrus (Kenny):"I can ready my bow and shoot it as soon as it enters"
Mirabelle (Jelly):Good plan!
Simon N. (GM):GM: You can't Ready per se out of combat - but you may get Surprise on it
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"now the question who is the bait?'
Erasmus:"Ok. Everyone get in position. melee to the front, casters and shooters to the rear. Leave me some space by the pillar."
Syrus (Kenny):"And we can Surprise it!!! May be good to hide out lights until someone shouts too"
Simon N. (GM):@Chris suggest you move back in!
You can dim lights a bit w cloaks etc
Erasmus:"I'll try to draw it to here."
Syrus (Kenny):To Mirabelle "Let's back up a bit m'Lady"
Norrin (Geoff):"A couple of us on either side of the door, the rest in a semi circle around to create the kill zone."
Syrus (Kenny):@Victoria "M'Lady, would you like to move up to the front?"
Erasmus:Ranged anywhere with good sight.
Syrus (Kenny):Syrus puts hand up to Erasmus Simon N. (GM):Gm: The beetle is Large so you really need to leave a 2 square gap
that ok?
"Are we ready?"
Syrus (Kenny):Syrus readies his bow Syrus (Kenny):OOC this is kinda exciting!

Erasmus:Erasmus follows behind Jyrdani Syrus (Kenny):To Jack "After you, young Sir"
To Jack "After you, young Sir"
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:Flanked by stone warrior statues, steps lead down into the depths...
Chris T.:Loolks like Jaack is rear guard again :)
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"is this the path to the Everflame?"
Simon N. (GM):Keelia left - ok then. You few, you happy few, you band of brothers...
Erasmus:Erasmus would like to take alook a the statues Syrus (Kenny):Points what are those on either side of staircase??"
@GM Investigation check?
History (INT)
Simon N. (GM):statues of warriors :)
Erasmus:"Hmm... statues."
"Of warriors."
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"hmm let me see"
Erasmus:"Presumably just generic."
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"I believe this is the way to the tomb of Sir Sammael and the Everflame..."
Simon N. (GM):Strohm reckons the statues are Damaran, ca 150-170 years old approx.
Probably here commemorating Sammael Cumin's victory over Asar Kessell and his wife Cecilia's lighting of the Everflame over his tomb.
Syrus (Kenny):*Syrus is excited about seeing an ancient tomb - more sights to be made into great songs!"
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"oh a bit older than i am but other than what Victoria says its just a 150-170 year-old statue"
Simon N. (GM):Cecilia Cumin is, of course, the legendary St Cecilia, patron saint of fallen women redeemed!
Norrin (Geoff):Anything else in the room? Or shall we check out the staris?
Syrus (Kenny):"Oh Oh Oh can we go yet???"
Simon N. (GM):GM: You may descend the steps...
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"ready a torch for a human friends is best"
Erasmus:"Carefully. Don't want anyone falling foul of any traps."
Simon N. (GM):I'll need to group your tokens
Syrus (Kenny):"There could be traps - can anyone detect traps??"
Chris T.:Jack is happy to gofirst. He has good eyes fortraps.
Syrus (Kenny):"Young Sir! Please do lead us!"
Syrus (Kenny):while we are transported... Simon N. (GM):GM You descend the steps (no traps) to a crossroads chamber
bottom right
Syrus (Kenny):OK the way to the east there looks like a cobweb....
Simon N. (GM):Crossroads: At the bottom of the stairs is a circular chamber with three
passageways leading from it. In the center is a small stone
pedestal.
Norrin (Geoff):Some to the north too.
Simon N. (GM):west you can see seeping water
Syrus (Kenny):ANything interesting about the pedestal? is it pointing to anywhere?
Simon N. (GM):and hear dripping that is almost a stream
Erasmus:"Not surprising, but let's hope they're not of abnormal size."
Simon N. (GM):The pedestal is bare, no not pointing
Syrus (Kenny):Where is stream sound coming from?
the water
Syrus (Kenny):"Which way, friends?"
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc what about east?
Erasmus:"Ser Jack, would you care to lead the way?"
Chris T.:I'm good with east
and yup, torch up (and pp16) Jack leads on.
Syrus (Kenny):Jyrdani runs off!
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc imean whats at east?"
Syrus (Kenny):Syrus will be rear
Simon N. (GM):The corridor opens up into a winding catacomb. The walls are
skillfully carved with deep recesses where bodies might have
once lain. All that remains now are cobwebs, dust, and the
Simon N. (GM):tattered remains of ancient clothing.
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"The Damarans must have buried their dead here - still a few bones..."
"door"
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:opens door CREEEAK
Pool: A shallow reflecting pool divides this long chamber, running
from one end to the other. The water looks cloudy and
stagnant. What must have once been marvelous murals
covering both walls are now scorched and ruined, the original
subject lost in the destruction.
Erasmus:Can we see into the pool?
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:Not really, it's filthy. GM: anyone got PP 17?
Simon N. (GM):ok you are Surprised...
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc what is PP?
Erasmus:Passive Perception
Syrus (Kenny):I KNEW IT!!!!
Simon N. (GM):yours is 11 -
Syrus (Kenny):Skellies can out of the last pool I look at!
