The Sarcophagus Legion III

[Jerrard]

"Yes, that sounds sensible." Picking up his blade he exits the room, lighting a torch as he does so, placing his bow into its quiver.

[Jenara]

"That was fun!" Locky grins, seeing her stones stuck in the webbing, "Ohh we were trying to hit him? I didn't get that."

"Looks like you are a little stuck." She says with a smile and follows the others out of the room, readying her hoopak as she exits, standing behind the door.

"We could be waiting a long time for this spell to wear off," Imani says as she backs back out of the room. Though, she does keep her back to the wall just in case the dwarf does end up in the hallway.

[JadedDM]

Once all four of them have left the room, the dwarf teleports again, where Jerrard had stood moments before. He approaches the door and cries in Common, "And stay out!" before casting a new spell. A translucent green barrier sprouts up between the door and the party, spreading across the north wall. He then slams the door shut, leaving the group in total darkness.

Jerrard attempts to light a torch, but then remembers he doesn't have any. This leaves it up to Thuskar to relight the torch he used earlier.

"Well..," Ulster says, "I don't think the princess was in there. I mean, I didn't get a chance to look very thoroughly, so just call it a hunch."

[HorizonsDream]

"This light issue is going to be a problem," Imani points out. "Aren't there spells or something that can create light? The mage at the palace can create light in the palm of his hand," Imani says.

[Jenara]

"I can create light, but I need to rest first." Locky responds to Imani, a little upset how it all worked out, "I don't think that worked out well, we lost our Lantern and Babuskhas sling..." She frowns, "I'm a little sad about that."

Moving close to Thuskar she pats him gently on the shoulder, "May Paladines Blessing be with you my friend." (Casts Bless on the Warrior)

"What now?" She asks looking around.

[Jerrard]

"Indeed, that was not as successful as I had hoped." Jerrard frowns, "I can cast those spells also, but it will take a few hours to memorize."

[JadedDM]

Locky's spell washes over Thuskar, and spreads to everyone else in the group, as well.

"All right, Thuskar?" Ulster asks, a bit of concern in his voice.

"Fine," Thuskar responds.

"Hey, those freaky rat things weirded me out, too. Did you see that one thing in a jar? Looked like a brain. That'll show up in my nightmares, to be sure," Ulster adds lightly.

Thuskar glares. "What would you know of nightmares?" he asks coldly. Ulster does not reply. Instead, he stares uncomfortably at his own shoes. Turning away, Thuskar faces Jerrard. "Which way now?"

===========

Locky casts Bless on Thuskar, and by extension, the rest of the party. Everyone has a +1 to hit and against fear saves until further notice.

[HorizonsDream]

Imani looks between Ulster and Thuskar curiously during the exchange. ~What happened?~ she asks herself. She decides now is not the best time to be asking that question though. "All of you seem pretty bad off," Imani states. "Maybe we should take a little rest, or I could scout ahead a little."

[Breila]

Babushka shakes her head. "We shouldn't separate. And when we're forced to, go in pairs at least. But rest is a good idea. Where should we go? To the mine access room? No one seems to go there, and there's room enough for us all."

[JadedDM]

"Resting? We just finished resting," Thuskar points out. "We wasted enough time as it is, the princess could be dead by now."

=============

(OOC: It's actually only been 20 minutes since the party last rested.)

[Breila]

"Gods, you're right" Babushka sighs. "Yet I feel wasted. What a mess we got ourselves in!

So, do we simply try the next alley?"

[Jenara]

"That would be sensible."Jerrard responds as he looks away from the door. "We have a torch, we can gain magical light when we rest. "

"Lets go, the princess must be really bored!" Locky bounces on, "I have one spell, if anyone needs it?"

[JadedDM]

"I could use it," Ulster says, raising his hand ambivalently. "Or...maybe Thuskar could..."

"I'm fine," Thuskar says. "You take it."

=========

(OOC: Which corridor are we taking now?)

[Breila]

The next one on our left, which is the upper right one on the map, if no one objects.
