Chapter 05: Round the bend

[Nordbo]

Korin

deftly manages to rummage round the area of the tomb compartment nearest the opening, without brushing against the skeleton lying inside. And he found no traps there either.

[Rex]

Tiny

"Did you find anything interesting Korin?"

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin steps back and shakes his head "Nope. Nothin' other than tha skeleton already in there."

[sastaz]

Thorelf seems to be intrigued now.

"It seems unprotected, and without undead monsters. Let's try another one?"

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin wary of such practice and knowing well skeletons might animate later and attack he for good measure takes his mace and smashes the skelton in the head with it, before helping open another tomb.

[Rex]

Tiny

"Maybe we should close the lid on this one before opening the next?"

[Nordbo]

Korin

pulverizes the cranium of the stretched out skeleton. But...just for an instant, to Korin, right at the split second of impact, it looked like the rest of the skeleton...twitched ?
Whatever that was, its remains now definitely lie still.

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin noticing the twinge of movement as he takes out the skeleton and warns the others "Might be best just leavin' tha rest alone. I swear this one tried to move before I ended it."

[Rex]

Tiny

"Seems like a good call."

[DareDevil]

Richard

Is this the way out?

[sastaz]

Thorelf

Puts out his arm in front of Richard.

"I guess so, but hold on before you go."

He points at the rectangle shape on the floor in front of them.

"Let's be careful. Is this a carpet, or some sort of trigger device?"

Thorelf checks the rectangle shape on the floor visible on the image.

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin offers to Thorelf "If yer thinkin it be a preassure plate trigger fer a trap, I can help check it out."

[Rex]

Tiny

Tiny keeps watch.

[Nordbo]

The hesitant explorers discover that the pattern in the floor is just a darker strip of stone, inlaid for decorative purposes.

The soothing sound....swishes gently through the dank air....as always-s-s-s-s

[Rex]

Tiny

"What is that noise?"

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin shrugs "Dunno, waterfall? Air? Snake? Maybe some sorta naga thing?"

[sastaz]

Thorelf

"That's the wispering I guess? But I have no idea what it is. Obviously it carries some religious significance to those that used to live here. Could be just the wind playing in these corridors. Maybe a way out? Let's go on down this hall and see."

Thorelf will gesture for Tiny to take lead down the corridor, if he is okay with that.

[Rex]

Tiny

Tiny leads the way.

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin moves up to be in pace with Tiny if there is room otherwise he follows right behind Tiny staying only 2 feet behind him.

[Nordbo]

The 25' wide corridor hall, with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, leads onwards in the same pattern - walls lined with inscribed stone slab covers on both sides, from floor to ceiling.
About 30-40' up ahead, there seems to be a crossing corridor, beyond which this corridor continues.
