Echoes in the Darkness [IC]

Rezin races across the floor toward what turns out to be a far corner of the room. Stor-bten chases the lamplight. The ghostly dwarf chases them both.

On the balcony, Ur stands indecisively holding the torch.

Rijo and Webster get back on their feet.

Rezin arrives under the balcony where the cockatrice sits. His lamp shows its glowing yellow eyes and white scaly head quite well. It tilts its head and squarks at him from its high perch.

Rijo has a time getting Webster back on his feet. It's only as he lets go of his tottering companion that he realizes: the man has been turned to stone!

The statue of Webster glowers into the darkness, clearly upset about its condition.

Ur looks down from the balcony above, squinting around the flame of the torch.

Stor-bten's kukri cleaves the ghost in half. It vanishes with a pop.

Rezin dashes to the left and stops just in time to not run into the edge of a raised platform that is about shoulder high. There are steps up to the platform, just visible at the edge of the lantern's light. It is a big wide space that goes beyond the light. Rezin thinks that he can see people sitting on chairs up there in the dimness.
