"Isn't there a prisoner in there?" Ramiel asked with a worried expression on his face. "And a young person too?"
Aug 19, 2016 7:13 pm
"The prisoner is in there, unfortunately for us though, I don't think he is in the mood for questions. Underground, yes, however in the early stages of lycanthropy, the change happens whenever a full moon happens." Silenes flame goes off, leaving you in darkness, a voice quietly comes in your head "Stay...quiet." From inside the room your hear hissing and the constant rattling of chains. A few moments pass, the hissing and chains are replaced by squeaks and sniffs, after a few more moments it goes back silent. "The change of light, probably startled him, we should be fine now, if you keep your voices low and your movement slow. If you wanted to go past this room at least. Anyway like I was saying, it is not til the later stages, when you gain more control that you need a full moon to physically be shining on you to change. There is just one, a young boy, who is the prisoner. The door to the rat-kings bedroom and laboratory is past this room. We can check that out if you would like."

"The Rat King infected the prisoner with lycanthropy? That is just great." Ramiel whispered the sudden realization. Why am I not surprised?
Aug 19, 2016 10:27 pm
"I guess prisoners make sense, now that I know he afflicts them with lycanthropy. He catches the prisoner, however he does, turns them to wererats, then corrupt them by trying to instill his vision in their scared minds. If you didn't before, I hope you see now why he has to be stopped."
Aug 21, 2016 12:55 pm
"Well knowing this. . . are you sure tonight is the best night to do this? The Rat King. . .well, he is a wererat too, right?" Ramiel asked in a hushed whisper.
Aug 21, 2016 7:00 pm
"Not at all, the rat-king can change at will. Unless he is in direct view of a full moon, it unwillingly changes him."

Silene remains where she is. Unable to see anything, she waits and listens for indication of when and where the party moves.
Aug 21, 2016 10:28 pm
"So, where to? Do you want to check out the door or elsewhere?"
Izen you feel a little paw grasp onto your hand again.

"Very well, this way." Nibbles starts to lead you past the torture room, with no light source, it is easy enough to sneak past as long as you don't make an attempt to be known. As you head further south, the bumpy surfaces of the natural cave tunnel abruptly become smooth and worked. Covering the walls are faded frescos of robed humanoids with fish-like heads, each carrying a purple lotus in their webbed hands. They move in solemn procession southwards to the end of this hall, where a huge fiendish face of iron awaits them. At the end of the hall is a thick iron door whose surface resembles the face of a balor: two front-swept horns flank its sides, and its cruel eyes leer down over its short snout. Its fanged mouth is ajar and stained with purple dye that dribbles down to the floor. "I never liked this section, this door always gave me the creeps. The rat-kings bedroom and laboratory are somewhere behind this door, I've never been allowed in though. He always carries a purple flower when he approaches it, like the fish paintings" you hear Nibbles in you mind as you approach.

Quickly realizing that Silene is a little lost in the dark Béke offers, "Keep your hand on my shoulder as we move, if it appears that we'll need to move quickly, I will grab your arm and lead the way." Quietly describing what she is seeing to Silene as the group moves along she suddenly at a loss for words as they come to the door.

"Nibbles, are we safe to use a little light here?"
OOC:
If Nibbles answers affirmative Béke will retrieve a coin from her pouch and cast 'light' on it, keeping it in her hand so that she can direct the light where needed. (Sort of cupping her hand over the coin)
Aug 22, 2016 10:31 pm
You hear nibbles in a soft whisper "I mean it was always safe to have light, he is in chains after all, but best not give him a reason to try and get out of those chains." Nibbles pauses for a moment "We should be far enough for the light not to disturb him though."
OOC:
Don't know why that got double posted, sorry.
Aug 22, 2016 10:59 pm
"I would be glad for something to see by also, it is slow going holding hands in the dark like this"
Aug 22, 2016 11:15 pm
Silene is grateful for Béke's guidance, and the elf can sense a firm grip on the shoulder as Silene uncontrollably expresses her discomfort at the dark, and perhaps at the unnatural experimentation witnessed in the other room.

At Nibbles' declaration, Silene's hand glows once again with flame. However, the druid keeps her hand on Béke's shoulder, sticking close in the confines of these caverns.

"So how do we open the door without the flower?" Ramiel goes forward a little while checking for the arcane makings of the door and surroundings.

Rolls

Arcana - (1d20+3)

(16) + 3 = 19

"I do not know, to be honest. The only time I would come down here, is when the rat-king wanted a conversation on his way then he would shoo me away when we reached the door."
OOC:
There doesn't appear to be any markings but the whole "room" emits a strong magic presence.
Aug 23, 2016 5:04 am
"What kind of flower?" asks Silene, her voice terse.
Aug 23, 2016 5:12 am
"I'm not sure what they are called I know little of nature, my whole life has been spent here. They are purple though, like the fish-people carry."
OOC:
Having a visual and color, roll a nature check to see if you can remember a flower that matches what you know.

"What did it smell like?" Silene continues, trying to narrow down the range of choices. While she waits for the answer, she attempts to think of what flora may qualify.

Rolls

Nature - (1d20+4)

(7) + 4 = 11

"What few times I got to smell them, they smelled good. The rat-king usually kept them away from me though."

Knowing the color, shape, and partially smell, you narrow a few that it might be. Looking at your surroundings, the nicely smoothed stone leading to some sort of offering or worshiped door, makes one flower draw your attention due to its rareness. You're pretty certain the flower is a Black Lotus.
