Act 2 Scene 5: "Cavern of the Crown of Souls" (Game Thread)

[Chris1234]

Jerry nods, "Ready to continue."

As an aside, (possibly later) she warns the (latest) newcomer, "This place, this world, infects one's dreams turning them into unpleasant things. Not 'mere' nightmares but something more malevolent; directed in some way. And several may experience the same or similar dream, I think. Be wary of such; they are not in my judgement trully prophesies. Rather something aimed as generating fear and distrct."

Tarlyn thanks Sir Karl as he helps her down.

it seems the danger in this place did not end with the hag. I would see it ended, for my sister, whatever the source. Tarlyn regards Jerry oddly. Nightmares are just another part of life, although after this I suspect I'll have some new ones/

[Chris1234]

"How do you deal with such dreams? Do you know of their contents coming true?" asks Jerry, always keen for odd bits of lore. She tries saying the same thing in Harmonium.

[Edit]: Then she goes back to Merrick and quietly asks him how to say it it correctly in Harmonium.

"I'll be right beside you all the way." MIra pats the Girls Shoulder. "Can you use a sword?"

[Jerrard]

"Danger surrounds us here, the only way we can hope to survive is working together." Karl explains.

[Nocturno]

Pyros starts crutching over to the cavern entrance.

He will stop at the entrance and listen.

[TristenC]

Dreams are just dreams, most I do not remember long after waking. Tarlyn replies to Jerry. to Mira, she shakes her head, Even this I do not really know how to fight with, she hefts the dagger. But I will not be taken again for wont of trying. she says grimly.

Elsa gives an unreadable look at the skeleton stretched across the ground by the tight cords as Pyros moves to check the other cavern entrance. Listening intently, he hears nothing unusual. Scant light reaches the entrance, but he can barely make out that the 10 ft wide passage turns sharply to the right after about 15 ft or so...

[Chris1234]

Jerry follows on with Merrick.

[Nocturno]

Pyros will check the threshold and first 5' for traps.

[Jenara]

"When we escape this place, and whatever is cursing here.. we will free them and allow thier soul to go free." Mira says as she taps Elsa on the shoulder, turning her attention to Tarlyn she adds "Stay with me, I'll show you a few moves I taught the girls, just enough to stay safe. And I respect the fight, I truly do." MIra will take up the rear with the Girl, teaching her how to hold the weapon, explaining the best place to strike.

[TristenC]

Pyros checks the entrance and finds no hidden hazards

[Nocturno]

He looks back and waves to the group.
He will go in and check up to the corner.

====================================
Cross moves closer to the intrepid Kender to make sure someone is watching.

[Jerrard]

"We will protect you, you have my word." Karl postions himself in the fore (just behind Pyros) his blade drawn and at the ready.

[TristenC]

Pyros creeps forward around the corner, Karl just behind and out of view along with Cross as the others gather near the entrance to the cavern.

Darkness stretches out before him, but the kender's keen eyes can just make out the passage as it turns again some 30 feet onward. The stone floor of this passage is split open here, as if by the blow of some titanic hammer. Looking into the darkness beyond, he sees a sandy floor some 12 feet down into the rent. There is a faint breath of wind drifting up through the hole that is somewhat cold upon the face, and the faint scent of moisture lingers on that breeze.

`Jerry continues to hamg on to Merrick's arm while looking at him expectantly. She flutters her eyelashes encouragingy.
