Chapter 1: Past Present and Future

@Evelynn: As you stand at the entrance to the tunnel leading deeper into the mountain, you are still reeling from your shock at having something interfere with your senses. Then you feel it, sense it, see it. Two points og light surrounded by darkness. They are close. Very close. You are certain that your task is before you.

As you make your way down the passage you see several more frescoes covering the walls of the tunnel.

The first depicts what appears to be the same alien in two pannels. In the first pannel it bears nothing but a simple staff. In the second pannel it bears a staff tipped with a crystal.

The second fresco has three pannels. The first shows depicts an obelisk with a hand print in the center of it
The second shows a crowd watching four bipedal aliens battling a giant four legged alien.The third depicts a single alien raising his staff to the heavens in triumph.

The third fresco has two pannels. The first shows an alien swimming and the second shows the alien walking through fire.

The fourth fresco shows the alien in supplication before a giant monster with a benevolent look upon its (the monster's) face.

The fifth and final fresco shows the alien returning to its people with its crystal. The alien is hailed as a hero and you see what is clearly some kind of feast. The final pannel shows a legion or crstal armed aliens doing battle with... the rest of the pannel has been destroyed.

I'm assuming that everyone is following Evelynn. Is that correct?

Well, see, I'm a bit of two minds about this.

There's at least three good in character reasons why Taryn would stay behind with Avi, and none that I can think of why he would leave her behind.

The only reason he would come along is entirely ooc, so that I would have something to do this week.
