Tesarik One: Mistakes? IM me.
Tesarik One: OH has been approached by a trio of humans who claim to be
archaeologists. Their apparent spokesman, a young man of around 25 named
Adam, explains that they believe they know the location of the
Tesarik One: ancient Sanctuary of Sulaman. An excavation is in order, but
they would like some physical protection as well as assistance in opening the
temple. The temple itself may have a few ancient traps here and
Tesarik One: there, but the fame alone would make the party rich, not to
mention their share of the treasures within. Maria has accepted the job, and
everyone who is able has been informed to dress for the Thanes
Tesarik One: Desert and to meet them at the Port Union. The portal is
already open, and the three archaelogists - the young man, a woman, and an
elderly male wait for them.
Tesarik One: ^v^ 6/11/2013 10:07:01 PM ^v^
Nobilis Arcanus: ::Ahh well he had been to Thanes,..nice place if not a
bit,..deserty so that is where he was heading. As he walked up to the port
union, he was already touching his chest casting the spell that had become
like second nature on these

Tesarik One: (Which stat?)
Georg Pryme: He came prepared as he always was for this adventure, ensuring
his charm of adaptation was in place. The last time he'd been to the Thanes,
the heat had not been fun to deal with, a situation he remedied for himself.
He had
Georg Pryme: everything he needed to be as useful as he could, stepping on
through the portal to await the rest of those who responded to the call for
assistance.
Adal Ag Hamid: Adal was, of course, quite happy to go along for another
visit back home. He wasn't really covered up any more than normal, since that
would be pretty impossible, though he was a bit paler than he usually looked,
with what little
Adal Ag Hamid: skin was visible at his hands, and around his eyes and nose.
Also, he had vanished for quite some time, of course. But hey, he was back
now!
Mark of Diti: Thiyya had made sure her brother Adal was going on this
journey, back to their homeland it seemed. She dressed as normal, she'd never
really stopped dressing for the desert even though she'd been on mainland for
some time now.
Nobilis Arcanus: (Quickness)
Nobilis Arcanus: (Sorry bout that)
Mark of Diti: Loose, billowy silken trousers and armor that was woven of the
palm leaves from an oasis in the desert. Her long, dark hair hung in several
braids down her back, and she wore more material across her nose and mouth in
anticipation

to her, anyway. Not that either of them ought to need it much back home, but
better safe than sorry. THrough the portal it was, after a greeting to the
three folks that'd
Adal Ag Hamid: be escorting them, or so he thought.
Tesarik One: Adam, Gia the female, and the elderly man Neel stood there
dressed for desert travel as well. They had some equipment, but for the most
part looked scholarly and bore no weapons visible - instead had scrolls
tucked in a few scroll
Tesarik One: cases sticking out of their bags.
Tesarik One: (Anyone who has History, Religion/Deities, Archaelogy, Arcana
or Region: Thanes for Knowledge may roll a knowledge check to see what you

Georg Pryme: He moved and made room for those entering, a grin given to Adal
and Thiyya. "My dragonslaying friends! Hullo!" He moved over to join them
as he awaited to hear the plan of action for their presence.

Onyx Dalliance: Miyuki meowed sweetly a few times staring a bit at George as
delicate fingers tapping her tinyinstrument."Let's have a fun adventure.."
Georg Pryme: He looked over to Miyuki at that, a slight shrug of his
shoulders. "You're free to have your own adventures."
Onyx Dalliance: Miyuki looked down ready to cry, taill fell limp as arms
hugged her mini harp."George....."She sighed.

Nobilis Arcanus: (Yup)
Onyx Dalliance: [no]
Onyx Dalliance: [nvm]
Tesarik One: The portal opened, the three archaelogists stepped through into
the sands of the Thanes Desert and peered up at the sun in the sky. "Bright
Eye is high upon us today," Gia stated and glanced over towards Adam and Neel
a moment. Then
Tesarik One: once she had her bearings using an odd clockwork contraption,
she began to move with the others. Though using a portal, they'd still have
to walk a good ways using their maps and equipment to located the area.
scales change: Disappearing academies didn't crop up in Kythin's mind as
something ideal without .. more investigation. How well this would all go was
no doubt up to how much additional information the archeologists among them
cared to provide
Mark of Diti: Thiyya reached over to give her brother a squeeze to his
shoulder and a smile though difficult to see beneath the material, then
stepped on through the portal with the archaelogists. She busied herself in
readying her longbow as her
Adal Ag Hamid: Neel was the silent, scholarly type! He just nodded at Gia's
words and moved along with them, helping to find their bearings as well so
they didn't get lost!
scales change: their lowly guards. -d
Mark of Diti: feet touched the hot sands. She glanced up at the sun when
notice was made of it, then smiled as her eyes adjusted to the bright light.
(Spell: Sandskimmer - allows her to easily walk across the sand without
breaking the crust.)
Nobilis Arcanus: ;;He slipped through the portal and looked around before
beginning to move with the archaelogists. A hand raised and he made sure to
tighten the buckles of the warmage coat.:::
Adal Ag Hamid: Adal smiled right back, but as usual it was only spotted in
his eyes due to that veil. He would like to bask in the sun a bit more, but
that was very inapporopriate for this part of the desert, and with all these
people around!
Georg Pryme: His attention was set to the task at hand now that greetings
were out of the way. He followed along, quietly keeping an eye on things as
they moved along. He was in no way used to travel through sands and deserts,
but he made up
Georg Pryme: for that by stepping as their guides stepped, mimicking their
movements as they walked along.
Tesarik One: The sand dunes glimmered around them, the sands in this area of
the desert a pale golden color. The sand wasn't too deep, but they'd sink to
their ankles as they walked causing their leg muscles to have to work that
much harder and
scales change: Thanes was far from his stomping grounds.. which made it was
easier just to follow in the wake of the desert natives among them. The
scholarly sorts.. were better for hearing historical things from anyway...
thought the dragonbloode

they had, but if they asked nothing they'd continue plotting the course via
instruments and maps that they had. It would be several hours of tiring
travel before they
Onyx Dalliance: Miyuki was a bit unstable at the moment and was walking
slowly, eyes filled with hurt that could push somebody to turn sides. Moving
through the sands in a skirt and nearly non existant top. Following George
for the time being.
Onyx Dalliance: "what's wrong?"
Tesarik One: approached a large dune. Gia pointed. "It should not be too far
now. This way." The desert garbed female headed towards the dune and began to
move upwards.
Nobilis Arcanus: :::Well he really was not fond of the walk,..he would have
to solve a problem later by memorizing the flight spell and keep it in mind.
A hand raised to give a tug to the braided beard as he heard the desert
woman,::so what traps do
Adal Ag Hamid: (brb)
Nobilis Arcanus: you think might be part of this? ::He arched an eyebrow,
hand dropped down hooking his thumb in the buckle fo the coat.::
Mark of Diti: Feeling very much at home, the priestess of Diti walked along
the top of the sands, never even leaving a footprint behind her. She followed
the three archaelogists, glancing around trying to see if she knew what part
of the desert
Mark of Diti: they were within, but nothing seemed to draw any recollection
to her. Thanes was massive after all and she'd not been to even half the
areas in this desert. She began to climb the dune after Gia.

Georg Pryme: There was nothing wrong at all with Georg, visibly or
otherwise, so the question didn't make much sense to him. He put even more
distance between himself and Miyuki, listening in to the conversation Rhyss
had initiated as he made
Tesarik One: Rhyss and Thiyya notice there is an encampment across the way,
the tents and clothing worn by the creatures of a sort that blend into the
desert sands. But, they can make them out when they move....serpentfolk.
Georg Pryme: his way up and over the dune.
Adal Ag Hamid: Dodm
Tesarik One: If that weren't bad enough, Gia announces softly upon spotting
the camp, "The camp is directly over the site of the temple."
Adal Ag Hamid: (argh)
scales change: Wonderful. Kythin needed a new belt.. -d
Adal Ag Hamid: Didn't see anything due to being spaced out, apparently.*
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He held his hand up, a sient motion for them to stop.
Kneeling down he would tilt his head a bit frowning a little bit, head tilted
more as he glanced over to Gia nodding.::So that means they either politely
move or we move them.
Tesarik One: As for traps, "I do not know. Sand traps, pit traps,
serpents... these sort of traps are popular in ancient desert temples and
tombs."
Onyx Dalliance: She growled loudly."So you just sweet talk in to using me
George?" She'd have her chance soon enough, glaring straight ahead. Tail
raised in anger.keeping back.
Georg Pryme: He looked to Miyuki at that, a slight shrug. "You're the one
that told me to fuck off. Get your head on straight and be here for the job
or go home."

are about to have to fight for our lives. Please, keep your private business
private and discuss it later. Now is not the time. Not when I have to count
on you to protect
Mark of Diti: me, and everyone else is as well." She turned back, pointing
out the serpentfolk camp to those that did not see it. "Task at hand."

Nobilis Arcanus: I agree,::he shook his head. Fingers curled in the leather

manner."I'll protect you all...."

Adal Ag Hamid: Oh hey, serpentfolk. He'd been drawn into that soap opera for
a moment. But hey, there it was. He hadn't traditionally found that speaking
to them worked very well, but perhaps that was a lack of sign language
comprehension.
scales change: " ...Hm. " How nice to have the serpentfolk camp pointed out
to them.. real question.. for Kythin at least.. was if they'd be heading
right in.. or trying to bypass the serpents. -d
Nobilis Arcanus: (7 lmao warmages are not stealthy!)
Georg Pryme: Well, there was no private business between them anymore, so
her request was an easy one to fulfill. He took some calculations,
determining how long it would take him to cover the ground between himself
and the serpentfolk.
Tesarik One: The serpentfolk peered up towards the dune, spotting them! Or
maybe hearing them! Either way, they needed to make a decision.... engage in
combat to clear them, or attempt diplomacy of some sort!
Tesarik One: Kythin, since you are first on SB....you get to make the
choice.
Tesarik One: Kythin?

state was not a favorable idea.. what was ..? The means of shapeshifting into

his head tilted some as he watched Kythin. Ahh, a nice place to rain down
hellfire if he every had seen one!:::
Tesarik One: The three archaelogists looked to the group, after all they
were being paid to protect them right?? They ducked down close to the sand,
to watch.
Tesarik One: As for the serpentfolk, who spoke Serpentine or Thanic, hearing
the draconic creature speaking in draconic to them caused the Ravager
Serpentfolk to draw their spears and narrow their snakey eyes at him, and
speak in serpentine
Tesarik One: out to him, "Stop, dragon! Or we will attack!" Did anyone
understand serpentine?
Onyx Dalliance: [due to abuse,good night guys.ttyl]
OnlineHost: Onyx Dalliance has left the room.
Nobilis Arcanus: I dont think his greeting was accepted,::his head tilted
some. No he did not speak serpentine,..but he did recognize spears raising.::
scales change: Well he didn't speak the language.. but the tone was enough
to make him raise a brow.. a scaley one. " I don't suppose any of you
understood that.. had hoped they spoke Draconic.. " -d
OnlineHost: Onyx Dalliance has entered the room.
scales change: Consquentually he had also stopped.. not that it meant he
wasn't likely to pick up a weapon to hack into something equally as scalely.

Tesarik One: A large, female serpentfolk appeared from a sandy colored tent
with a sawtooth saber in hand, and called out in serpentine, "Kill them you
idiots!" When the War Boss spoke, the Ravagers took action. The first one
moving for Kythin
Onyx Dalliance: Remained back for now.
Tesarik One: and stabbing him with his spear.

Tesarik One: He disappeared over the dunes.
Tesarik One: --end combat--
Tesarik One: Just to make sure everyone knows the background that the three
archaelogists would have explained during the travel:
Tesarik One: Millennia ago, a powerful nomadic spellborn of the Thanes
Desert called Sulaman arose to become a figure of international renown.
Founding an academy of magic, he drew away students of other famous
Tesarik One: schools. After a
Tesarik One: hundred years, the mage made an announcement: he had discovered
the secret of immortality, and was effectively a god. The school in the
desert became a cathedral and worshippers flocked from around
Tesarik One: the world to see this new god.
Tesarik One: This drew the ire of the Inhep, a fiercely monotheistic ancient
Thanic faith that worshipped the sun. Offended by Sulaman's audacity and
sacrilege, they summoned the Oth-Maares, warrior monks avowed
Tesarik One: to protect the faith until death - and beyond. After
ceremoniously breaking contact forever from the high priests to free them
from any sins the Oth-Maares might commit, they disappeared into the
Tesarik One: desert. Within a month, Sulaman too disappeared. His own
priests either vanished or turned up dead, and his temple was abandoned and
forgotten. After a few centuries, it disappeared under the sands of the
Tesarik One: Thanes Desert. All but a few worshippers vanished, the
remaining faithful waiting patiently for Divine Sulaman's return...
Georg Pryme: With a flick of his wrist the blood and gore vacated itself
from his weapon before returning it to its scabbard and Rhyss' salute.
"Seemed the thing to do. I don't have much care for things that gang up on
anyone."

Mark of Diti: Thiyya hurried over to Adal to make sure he was alright,
glancing along him for any blood of his own make, then to the others before
she glanced towards the dunes where the archaelogists had been hiding.
Tesarik One: Just to note... there are three spears (two handed) 2d4, 2 bone
daggers 1d3, an arandur breastplate +3 DEF, a sawtooth saber 1d8 and a kris
dagger 1d5.
Adal Ag Hamid: Oh he was perfectly fine. He of course did the same for her,
after getting his blindfold off and wincing a little. His eyes had taken to
adjusting far too well to darkness lately.
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He was putting the venomsacks into containers before
slipping them into his pack. Moving onto the next he was doing the same to
the other corpses and removing the venom glands.::
Georg Pryme: He picked up the sawtooth saber, examining the weapon and
nodding once to himself, sure he could turn a profit on it if none needed it
for the remainder of the journey.
Mark of Diti: She reached out, cupping Adal's cheek in her hand for a moment
as she was relieved he was not wounded, then moved over towards the fallen
foes. She knelt beside each one, offering a prayer to Diti to cover the
bodies with sand.
scales change: Onward to the supposedly Divine Sulaman's sanctuary then.
Kythin was very done with the serpentfolk corpses, the others could loot
them. Had to be better things in the destination.. if it remained accessible
in the end. - d
Nobilis Arcanus: ::That was his thoughts as well,..though the venomglands
would be useful for later on. He would turn and wait to be joined by the
others to continue.::Shall we continue our journey? *D
Tesarik One: Following the extinguishing of the serpentmen, Neel- an aged
but spry man - begins pulling equipment from their packs while the other two
explain that, according to their research, the Oth-Maares did
Tesarik One: not simply abandon the Sanctuary of Sulaman, but hid it. Using
Inhepic magic, they caused the temple to sink into the sands and vanish.
Their research also led them to Oth-Maares texts from which they
Tesarik One: learned the spells and techniques needed to undo the spell. As
they finish explaining, the elder archaeologist dons a white vestment with
orange and red embroidery. In his hands is a very tall staff
Tesarik One: with a tiny relic encased in an amber orb at one end. The three
nod to each other and the old archaeologist begins to chant in a strange
tongue: Inhepic. For several minutes, nothing seems to happen.
Tesarik One: Then, suddenly, the archaeologist slams the base of the staff
into the ground. A circular tunnel appears under the staff, spewing out a
load of sand in a ripple on the dunes. The tunnel appears to
Tesarik One: lead down to some sort of structure fifty or so feet beneath
the sand.
Georg Pryme: He saw nothing else that he'd spend time on examining, securing
the weapon and moving on, taking in their surroundings, keeping an eye out
for anything that would stand out.
Tesarik One: (Ok all I saw was Georg taking the saber, anyone else grabbing
anything in particular? If not, I'll divide in the receipt)
Nobilis Arcanus: ::As the man began the casting he watched in silence. When
the tunnel appeared he was moving over looking down to the tunnel and the
structure. A small grin given,:;well this is getting more and more
intresting.
Mark of Diti: She tilted her head, listening to the strange and unknown
tongue, then stepped away as the sand began to react to the magic. A frown
was beneath the veil that covered mouth and nose, but none would see it. She
peered down towards
Mark of Diti: the structure, and waited for the others to begin to move down
towards it. She was a bit wary of the man putting on clerical
vestments....but she said nothing.
Tesarik One: Down through the odd sand tunnel, the party comes across what
appears to be a solid sandstone door leading into the underground structure.
The door is completely smooth and jointless, about twelve
Tesarik One: feet tall and peaking into an angled arch at the top. The
archaeologists seem a bit perplexed by the door and are open to suggestions
on how they might enter.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::He opened his eyes and tilted his head,:;well isnt this

reacts.
Georg Pryme: Well, he had an idea how to get through a door when all other
avenues were exhausted. "Should be able to bust through . . . I'm not saying
that's the smartest decision, but Adamantine does wonders."
Nobilis Arcanus: Shall we say the name?
Adal Ag Hamid: Were the archaeologists not supposed to be the ones
accustomed to opening strange doors in the middle of underground things? He
thought that's how it oughtta go. Still, he studied the door for a moment,
then looked to Rhyss at his
Adal Ag Hamid: suggestion. He gave an 'after you' gesture towards the door.
Nobilis Arcanus: ::A nod of his head given to Adal, and just for a caution
rote he would call up the innate spell of mage armor to boost his own
defenses.:: Sulaman. (Innate Spell-Mage Armor +3 def)
Nobilis Arcanus: *Route
Tesarik One: At the mention of the word "Sulaman", narrow square slits crack
open in the strange door. Pupil-like bits of stone bulge outwards, staring at
the crew. Then below the eye-like structures breaks open a
Tesarik One: wide rectangle. Moving like a mouth, a creaking yet thunderous
voice utters a phrase in an unknown language, Inhepic. The same language the
archeologists used to open the sands to this place.
Nobilis Arcanus: ::At the same language he glanced back towards the caster
of the archeologists.::What did he say?
Tesarik One: The three archeologists stood near the back of the group now,
watching and listening. If asked about the language, they would tell them
they only learned the exact words to say to open the temple and cannot speak
Inhepic, only
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He really, really was going to have to create a spell for
that!::
Tesarik One: parrot the words needed.
Tesarik One: What language is Rhyss speaking, Common?
Nobilis Arcanus: ::At the answer he gave an exasperated grunt, and yup!::
Tesarik One: Hearing Rhyss speak Common, the door responds in the same
language. In its odd voice, the door asks: "Who are you that have come to
seek enlightenment from Divine Sulaman?"
Nobilis Arcanus: We are students seeking the way of course, ::He would give
a nod.::This is my entorage of guards through this dangerous area.
Georg Pryme: Well, Rhyss spoke the word. He wasn't sure about golems, but
he was ready for what was needed. He drew no weapon as of yet, waiting to
see how things played out.
Tesarik One: "You seek the wisdom of Sulaman? Do you truly know who the
Divine Sulaman is?"
Tesarik One: The three remain silent during this conversation.
Nobilis Arcanus: According to what is said he made himself into a god, I
myself,::he touched his own chest.::I am just a humble spellcaster seeking to
learn beneath the master.
Tesarik One: There was silence for a few moments, then the door golem seemed
satisfied. The eyes and mouth recede and the door cracks from its hinges. The
solid-looking sandstone will break into blocks, revealing a jointed and
fully-articulated
Tesarik One: stone golem. The golem steps aside allowing the party to enter
the gate. Once all are inside, the golem reassumes the form of a door.
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He gave a bow of his head before moving through the door
leading the group, a glance over his shoulder to them with a look that said
stay quiet for a few more moments before getting further along.::Hmm,::and he
was glancing around
Nobilis Arcanus: as he walked and wondering at this point if they were going
to run into some sort of Sulaman lich.::
Mark of Diti: "Interesting," Thiyya spoke in Thanic, then turned and signed
towards Adal before nodding to the golem a nd stepping through further into
this area. She glanced towards Neel, Gia and Adam a moment, then looked
around.
Georg Pryme: "Guess it's easier to have guardians you don't have to pay or
feed . . . " Muttered softly as he shook his head, taking up the rear guard
once everyone had passed through.
Nobilis Arcanus: It is,::he gave a nod as he continued walking staying
alert.::
Adal Ag Hamid: He nodded at the signing and signed back, muving ahead as
well.
Tesarik One: Once inside the Sanctuary, the party finds themselves in a
cavernous room lavishly decorated. The sandstone walls look as though they
were painted hours earlier, with bright frescoes depicting
Tesarik One: Sulaman's rise to power and his ascent into the realm of the
gods. Holding the ceilings above them are dozens of massive marble pillars,
each one covered from base to capital in hieroglyphs like a funerary
Tesarik One: monument. The floors are sandstone inlaid with colored glass,
with the center of the room a mosaic of Sulaman subduing an army of demons.
Statues litter the edges of the room, mostly of Sulaman in
Tesarik One: various heroic, majestic, or divine poses.
Tesarik One: To the west lay two hallways, one ascending and one descending,
and to the east is another wider passageway. Despite being underground and
without windows, the room seems brightly lit by an unknown
Tesarik One: light source. The whole effect is a bit breathtaking.
Incredible as it appears, however, the sanctuary does show some signs of
decay, with piles of sand having leaked in through cracks in the walls, and
Tesarik One: some of the marble columns looking cracked and frail.
Mark of Diti: She nodded to Adal, then began to move around the Sanctuary
and look at the various things she could spy including the heiroglyphs and
the statues. It was rather incredible, she'd seen quite a many tombs in the
desert in her short
Mark of Diti: life but this one seemed untouched.
Georg Pryme: "See, when I am finally laid to rest, I'm going to have them
paint images of me standing over dead dragons. A bit more intimidating."
Well, he'd actually never killed any dragons, just wyverns. But, who was
counting!?
scales change: " ... Definitely looks like a temple. " Who could say maybe
the Spellborn did succede in exactly what he boasted.. but Kythin was going
to very much doubt it until they ran into Sulaman's avatar. And then George
got his attention..
Nobilis Arcanus: ::As he moved into the brightly lit massive room he would
look around again before moving over. Fingertips slid along one pillar
tracing the tips over some of the markings. Looking back towards Georg he
chuckled.:: Will do.
scales change: " I advise against that idea.. " -d
Adal Ag Hamid: He stuck near the archaeologists for the time being, having
read too much about history lately to feel much like exploring. He was more
interested in those vestments they had on. As usual, however, he stayed
quiet.
Tesarik One: The archeologists seem quite awestruck, and all three move to a
corner of the room with a large statue of Sulaman holding a golden scepter.
The woman speaks in that foreign tongue (Inhepic if anyone has heard enough
to figure it out
Tesarik One: by now!) and Neel nods approvingly. Neel then speaks to the
group, saying they needed proof of this obscure Thanic culture and this
statue proves it. Gia is busy climbing the statue, reaching for the scepter.
As she pulls it from
Tesarik One: the statue's hand............
Georg Pryme: He looked over to Kythin as he heard him speak up, chuckling
softly. "Oh, don't get yourself any ideas. Dragons are too much a pain to
actually go hunt down when all you do is swing a sword. They leave me be, I
leave them be.
Georg Pryme: Just the way I like it."
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He turned,::I wouldn't,..of fuck. ::He sighed, his head
would shake.::That does not bode well.
scales change: " ...." Pulling scepters in a temple?Fools! -d
Tesarik One: she loses her balance and falls. Clinging to the scepter, her
weight breaks the arm off the statue. With a slow and ominous creak, the
fifteen foot tall statue tilts, then falls. You all know what comes next....
it shatters against
Tesarik One: a nearby column, which cracks in half. The ceiling emits a
rumble and the other pillars begin to fall into each other, breaking and
smashing. The ceiling begins to crack and fall, letting in a flood of sand.
Nobilis Arcanus: For being archeologists you people are just sort of blindly
reaching at this sort of thing correct? Because that was just really,..really
stupid.
Tesarik One: You all have time, if you rush, to make it to one of the three
passageways! Ascending west, descending west, or wider passageway to the
east!
Georg Pryme: He just grimaced and moved swiftly, crude remarks saved as he
set himself in position to catch Gia and keep her free of the rubble.
Adal Ag Hamid: Well he certainly didn't think going deeper was a great idea,
so he'd start making tracks to the ascending passage!
Nobilis Arcanus: ::He was heading for the ascending passage as well
frowning, head shook as he glanced to Adal.:: I think they are amatures.
scales change: Well Kythin was going to head in whichever direction wound up
with the most scrambling adventerers and fool specimens of archeologists.
Being trapped in the place wasn't high on his list of course.. " Glory
seekers.. " -d
Tesarik One: Please state which passageway you each run into! I've got Adal
and Rhyss going into the ascending.
Mark of Diti: Ascending with the others!
Georg Pryme: He ushered her off to the passage the others were taking,
snatching up the other two archaeologists and not giving them much choice in
the matter, hauling them by the back of their necks towards the same passage.
scales change: Ascending .. If it wasn't obvisious. ]
Tesarik One: Gia caught, she still clings to the scepter which she holds
tightly as she rushes for the ascending with Neel and Adam.
Georg Pryme: And, indeed, Georg was following up the ascending passage with
the rest.
Tesarik One: Neel and Adam apparently hauled to it by Georg!
Georg Pryme: "No more climbing, or touching, or doing anything except
running for now!" He scolded the three, shaking his head gently as he did
his best to keep from laughing.
Tesarik One: This dark hallway starts as a moderately sloping ramp, but
after fifty feet or so it turns a corner and becomes a steep spiral
staircase. It is quite a hike up the 200 stone stairs, which end in a
Tesarik One: narrow and low-ceilinged crawlspace. One of the archaeologists
comments that this was probably a aqueduct or secret passageway when the
temple was above ground. After a hundred feet of crawlspace, the
Tesarik One: bottom drops out of the floor in a square meter hole.
Nobilis Arcanus: I agree, no more climbing or touching! ::He was frowning
now moving through the aquaduct. More of a frown was given as he looked to
the hole.::How deep you think it is?
Mark of Diti: "I do not have rope, does anyone else?" She took a piece of
rubble and dropped it down into the hole, and listened.
Nobilis Arcanus: I think I have something for this.
Tesarik One: There was a splash after a long pause. It seems going down into
this hole is the only way they can go.
Adal Ag Hamid: He didn't have any rope, sadly. He did have his moonglobe
flashlight, which he'd produce and shine down that hole to try and see how
far down it went a little better.
Nobilis Arcanus: ::HE was listening as well, he looked over.::Alright people
gather round and have a little faith.
Georg Pryme: Well, Rhyss hadn't let them down yet. He'd put his trust in
the caster and see what he had in mind.
scales change: No rope, no climbing gear, just claws.. least so long as he
kept up that shifted form. " ... A little faith..eh Rhyss? " -d
Tesarik One: They were in a crawlspace that didn't give them all very much
room, they had to have faith!
scales change: Kythin had plenty of faith... just not in any of them to
start preforming miracles. -d
Nobilis Arcanus: :::He gave the crooked grin to them and would begin tapping
into the arcane. He was doing it for each one speaking the same phrase as he
focused on them.::mitne lae vi nasir
Nobilis Arcanus: (Casting feather fall on the group,..not a group spell so
it was single cast for eahc)
Tesarik One: Noted
Nobilis Arcanus: ::And after he was done he simply went over the edge and
began floating down for the water, hand rised to stroke his beard.::
Georg Pryme: "So . . . we just all allonsy over the edge now, hmm?" He
wasted no time, unsure what troubles awaited them behind with the catastrophe
that happened in the room they escaped from.
Mark of Diti: She felt the arcane wash over her, and wasted no time in
moving over the edge and floating downwards through the hole using the spell
that Rhyss had cast on her.
Tesarik One: As Rhyss reached the bottom, he landed gently into the pool of
water. There were steps leading out of the water and towards a long hallway.
scales change: " .... " Well if that was the plan then.. no reason not to
move over and along with the others. And started counting the seconds before
someone decided to pray to Sulaman for divine aide. -d
Nobilis Arcanus: ::As he touched down in the water he moved for the steps
and was climbing out of it and frowned.::I should have waterproofed
myself,::he grunted and would pull the waist length braid around wringing it
out.::
Tesarik One: Thiyya would land gently into the water as well, as did all the
others who floated free and light as a feather down the hole including the
three archeologists.
Adal Ag Hamid: Yep down they went.
Mark of Diti: She landed in the water and swam over towards the steps,
moving out as well and giving a little shake and squeeze of her billowy
clothing now quite wet. But, it took only a few words for a warm breeze to
blow through the area,
Nobilis Arcanus: ::Nah rhyss wouldn't be praying,..he wasn't that
religious!:::
Mark of Diti: drying their clothing as they came out of the water.
Georg Pryme: He landed with a plop in the water, wishing he had the time to
make more jests about it all. He thanked Rhyss for the soft landing, and
Thiyya for the dry clothing as he peered off into the hallway.
Nobilis Arcanus: Thank you Thiyya,::he figured it was her doing before
starting to move up them now.::
Nobilis Arcanus: Anytime Georg,::he gave the man a nod before looking to
Adal.::Care to provide some illumination for us?
Georg Pryme: He laughed softly as he got moved from rearguard to pointman,
taking out a torch and lighting it before striking off towards the unknown.
Tesarik One: For the moment, the group would take a rest. They could make
camp here, and eat, make sure they were dry, and determine their plan of
action. The only way to go would be down the hallway presented to them, but
they had no idea what
Tesarik One: they would face. The three archeologists were huddled together,
speaking softly to each other while the group rested for the moment.
Tesarik One: (We will break here and pick up again on next Tuesday!)
Adal Ag Hamid: Well he still had his flashlight on! He just clicked it into
the mode where it was more like a torch than a directed beam. He was also
trying to listen in on those suspicious archaeologists!
Nobilis Arcanus: :::He was moving back and was settleing down to his rest,
from his magic pack removing a bound tome and was since they are resting
preparing spells for what might come up.::
Georg Pryme: But, seeing everyone settling in, he decided he was not the best equipped for a scouting mission. He opted to stand watch, a ration fished out of his pack as he drifted off into his thoughts.
Tesarik One: ^v^ 6/12/2013 12:54:53 AM ^v^
Adal Ag Hamid: He just sat there not eating! His ring would sustain him...his precious!
