Re: Chapter 1: Into The Mists

Kar'i'nas, the chanting is too far away and echoey to tell from where it originates or what exactly is being chanted.

The open doorways all lead to crypts. You find ones bearing the names of Walter, Gustav, Elisabeth, Rosavalda and Thornboldt Durst. The crypts all contain an empty coffin on a stone bier.

Re: Chapter 1: Into The Mists

"THAT's ME!!!!" screams Skallagrimm, pointing a trembling finger towards the crypt marked Thornboldt. Then, upon seeing the crypt marked, Rosavalda he can't even utter a word. He collapses to the ground, shaking in fits of hysterical tears.

Re: Chapter 1: Into The Mists

"Someone cover his mouth" Skip hisses, mindful that the noise of the boy/mans scream and tears will draw attention. The gnome moves away from the doorways to the crypts, towards the other direction the corridor leads. He whips out his hand crossbow and loads a bolt, ready for anything that might appear out of the gloom, attracted by the noise of Skallagrims fear and misery.

Re: Chapter 1: Into The Mists

Lunora is taken aback by the sight of the crypts and her mouth goes dry for a moment. "Hush, Skallagrim. Be quiet," she hisses. "Where are the bodies?" she wonders aloud.

The Gith followed Skip with his weapon ready. "I like not the long form chant. It whispers of cult work. Hopefully as gibberish and useful as their written screed, but I think not."

Re: Chapter 1: Into The Mists

Lunora fumes silently at the notion of everyone doing their own thing. In a small group, it was more tactically sound to come up with a plan of action first, then act upon it. Besides, she should be the one making decisions.

Re: Chapter 1: Into The Mists

Looking to Lunora, Skip whispers We can worry ‘bout the bodies later. We’re goin’ this way know, ever’one be ready. An’ Rose? Keep yer baby brother quiet or we all gonna get deaded" with that, he whirls back around, a whisper in the shadows, and stalks forward

Re: Chapter 1: Into The Mists

Skip, you move towards the room at the end of the corridor to the west. This room contains a plain wooden table flanked by long benches. Moldy humanoid bones lie strewn on the dirt floor. There are exits to the north and west, and in the middle of the south wall is a darkened alcove.

Re: Chapter 1: Into The Mists

The bones don't make up whole skeletons, at least not without a massive amount of assembly. Some of them look snapped in half and with a little imagination it's almost as if you can see a small trail leading to the alcove.

Re: Chapter 1: Into The Mists

Skip, you slowly approach the alcove and just manage to jump back and out of the way as a massive, slithering wormlike beast darts out from the shadows. It rears up, unfurls four tentacles to reveal its beak and screeches as it readies another attack.

Re: Chapter 1: Into The Mists

The Gith invokes with his staff before dropping it to the floor and unleashes a silvery beam that tears at the very fabric of the air. As he moves, he grips the longsword in two hands and prepares for the beast to close.

"Death to the ghaik abomination!"

Re: Chapter 1: Into The Mists

Skip looses the loaded bolt in his hand crossbow, and not waiting to see if he hit, drops it to draw both daggers. He risks a quick wink to Skallagrim as he flashes the retrieved dagger, and moves up to flank the beast

Re: Chapter 1: Into The Mists

something in the back of Skallagrimm's mind tells him that the dagger is important. But the scared little boy's fear overwhelms all other thoughts and Skallagrimm begins to cry.

Hearing the man child’s sobs, Skip shakes his head and sighs. ’Gotta get the old git back in his own body’ he thinks
