Chapter 24 - The Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, part 1
Re: Chapter 24 - The Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, part 1
Castinus moves in to examine the strange "altar". In the center are 6 fist-sized circular windows, 3 coin-sized holes below them and a single metal box under these. To the left of these are 10 small blocks set in grooves, and to the right are 2 rows of rivets. The wings of the altar are decorated with panels of small glass squares set in rows.
The skeletons seem to stare at you with dead sockets but so not move...

Ulster looks at the altar with bewilderment. "I wonder what these people worshiped," he says. "The god of buttons and windows?"

Algrim resists the urge to push buttons "You fellas are somethin else." the dwarf chuckles.

Grimes chuckles at Ulster's determined efforts. "Nice Job, Ulster! I think I'll take one a' them things for now."
Grimes will grab one of the needler pistols and 5 magazines of ammo, stowing them in his pack for now. (Added to inventory) Does someone have a sack of holding or something we could put extra items in, including the egg things?
As the others look over the odd alter thingy, Grimes pokes at the skeletons and looks about the room for any items or loot.

Dandy thinks for a moment then seems to react as if a suggestion were placed in his head. "Maybe Belenus can help us 'ere, like he 'as before." He moves over to one of the skeletons and casts speak with the dead.

Furuk moves to examine the altar, but refrains from pushing the buttons. He points to the skeletons with his sword.
"From the looks of these bones, this seems like an altar of death. I'm not touching it."

The dwarven cleric casts his spell, but the old bones don't speak, dead far too long for his magic to work.

Feeling a bit inquisitive, Grimes approaches the altar and says "Let me take a look at this, eh?" He'll push/twist or pull a couple doohickeys until something seems to happen.
OOC: Trust me. What could go wrong?

Re: Chapter 24 - The Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, part 1
Grimes pokes at a few things with no effect and then moves a switch which has quite an effect. The wall facing the altar (and the door you entered) is no longer blank. There are pictures of rooms and things, some of which you've seen but most which you have not. You see a few familiar corridors and some rooms (like the one with the security golems and the cafeteria). One corridor has the plant-men walking down it, so these are not still images, although most are of areas where nothing moves so they may as well be. Every few moments the images change.

Appears to be scrying magic or the like, I might postulate that magic like this and the weapons we found would been near the seat of control of the place.

Grimes stares, wide eyed at the spectacle. He glances back at his colleagues and says sheepishly "I meant to do that."
Grimes slowly backs up, overwhelmed with the technology, and sticks to the back of the room.

"Nice work, Grimes," Castinus congratulates. "I wonder if we can see any more of this place through these windows." He'll look at the controls to see if he can change the images.
These are ghouls. They hang out in graveyards, they have long tongues, and they eat people.

Algrim chuckles and elbows Grimes "Sure lad. Meant ta." he gives Grimes a sly wink.

Yes. He'll try the rows of glass buttons on the left. If for some reason they don't move or respond, then he'll try the set of five switches on the bottom left.

Castinus pokes at some buttons. He pauses the picture with the veggie-guys, then starts it again, and then there's a pop-ing sound and a small fire starts on the console. A nozzle appears and sprays some kind of gas on the fire and it is extinguished. A green light flashes. Black char and white residue mar the altar where the fire was.
