Beyond it being a landmark, doesn't seem to have much going on for it. Elly wonders if there are any noticeable magical significance to the area. Perhaps it is on a ley line?

"Ralen, my friend. Walk in front of me and tell what you think of this trail and the interesting sign in front of it? Raktasha points with his quarter staff and nudges the younger man towards his findings. I'll watch your back if you want to pursue it."

Ralen jumps, surprised that someone knows his name. Shaking his head, he dismisses it, concentrating on the tasks at hand.

"Certainly."

Moving ahead of the group, Ralen studies the sign, then inspects the area of the trail around it for anything interesting.

Ellodora examined the rock and surrounding area for any sign of a magical influence. From what she could tell, there were no markings or glyphs that suggested spells had been recently cast, nor was there any discernible sign of current magical influence in the area.
OOC:
Lasterhamster1, go ahead and make an investigation check.

Ralen searched the brush surrounding the path thoroughly, taking in the sign and the vegetation. It all appeared clear, as far as he could tell, with just an opening of a cave at the end of the trail.

"Looks fine to me."

"Alright Ralen, I'll follow you into the cave. Elly, Murril, you two coming?" Raktasha nudges Ralen forward with his quarter staff.
Apr 22, 2016 12:04 am
Ralen begrudgingly enters first.
Apr 22, 2016 12:49 am
Elly brandishes her cello menacingly in front of her, slinging her homemade shoulder strap to the front and weilding her bow askance, ready to summon the power of the strings to her aid. She follows behind Ralen and Raktasha.

As Ralen entered the cave, he found it difficult to see far into the pitch darkness. A faint breeze blew from within the cave, carrying the faint odor of death. The passage narrowed as it went on in the darkness towards the west, but Ralen was unable to see beyond the initial opening of the natural cave.

"It's certainly dark in here... anyone have a torch?"
Apr 22, 2016 2:35 am
Muril pulls out a torch from his explorer's pack and sparks it up. "This oughtta help," he said as he handed Ralen the torch.
Apr 22, 2016 2:36 am
Now holding the torch, Ralen continues carefully.
Apr 22, 2016 2:43 am
"Now that stench sure is a foul one. Whatta y'all reckon is causin' it? Smells like ol' William of Nelson's feet after a cow patty stompin' contest, but worse!" Muril continued alongside Ralen down the narrowing cave throughways.
Apr 22, 2016 5:26 am
As the group progressed along the narrowing passageway, they came across the source of the foul stench in the air: the corpse of a human male, sprawled on its back, wearing only leather breeches.

Ralen held the torch aloft, lighting further along the passageway. The tunnel opened up into a cave about 20 feet beyond the corpse.

"Woah, woah... look at this! I wonder if I can figure out what killed this poor man." Raktasha pokes at the corpse looking for clues.

Raktasha poked at the corpse, examining it closely. He heard a rustle, and the corpse began to move, suddenly opening its eyes. A gurgling moan escaping its lips, it lurched forward, slamming into Raktasha.
OOC:
Combat! The corpse gets a surprise attack against Raktasha. Everyone roll for initiative. You will either be in the group that moves before the corpse or the group that moves after the corpse (depending on your initiative order). You can act in any order within your group. If you roll higher than the corpse (and are therefore in the first group to act), you can go ahead and edit in your action into your post. If you roll lower than the corpse (the last group to act) but you don't think what other people do before your turn is going to affect your action, you can go ahead and post it as well. It'll just happen later in the round when your initiative group comes up. If anything drastic changes before your turn, I'll edit things accordingly.

Raktasha is in melee range with the corpse, about 60ft into the tunnel from the entrance of the cave. Ralen and Muril are within 5 feet of the corpse, since they were initially leading the group before Raktasha inspected the corpse. Elly is about 10 feet behind the corpse (towards the entrance) since she was following the others.

EDIT: The corpse hits Raktasha, who takes 2 damage.
