Necropolis Gameplay

Christopher stows his camera, as he does his left hand subconsciously drifts to the silver locket at his hip pocket, then to the handle of the revolver attached to it’s chain. He looks towards the source of the noise, attempting to glimpse its source as he readies his weapon.

As the breeze from Lyttelton's rapid departure itself diminishes, Baz slides down the wall just right of the doorway. He stuffs the journal of Sasha Karner into his bag and looks at the dead man on the table. The scruffy man sets his nerves as he turns out the flickering lamp, hoping to preserve the last of the fuel or fumes it still holds. As darkness settles in Baz feels into his bag for the candles he has with his writting supplies, he feels for the matches in his vest pocket, and then the unlit cigar still in his mouth.

In the darkness Baz sits and awaits the shouts of the workers turned robbers to flood the room. With a dreading thought he slides his hand down to touch the hilt of his old hunting knife at his belt, knowing that should it come to that he would be quite unpreppared to give as good he may get.

Dardan allows RJH to drag him along, not sure of anything and just wishing to escape.

Arthur sees the enclosed chamber plunging into darkness and scrambles for his unlit candle, holding it tight as if life depended from it.

"D-dynamite?! It will bury us all down here for eternity! I don't think that's a great idea, fellows!.." he shout-whispers after the others.

He takes one step closer to Baz.

Christopher takes in the smell, the rot- it seems familiar. It reminds him of the trenches, the stench of the dead and the dying. Straining in the dark and seeing nothing, he attempts to hide behind one of the large stones in the chamber.

Dardan stumbles along with RJH, wondering why the others have not come with them.

"Sir, where are the others? What is behind that slab, and should we not all leave?"

Alistair isn't going to to anywhere unless he can figure out what that animal is, having stupidly not brought a weapon, of any kind he didn't plan to be the first one to fight, but perhaps if he could tell them what it was.

Quiet as a mouse under the cats gaze Baz holds his breath and strains to hear the shout before the blast, or the sounds of the workers pouring in to attack them.

Thinking quickly Baz lifts the body of the dead german explorer and lays beneath it. They won't kill their prey twice! But once under the corpse the dead mans dust begins to rain down on Baz and he begins coughing and hacking betraying any hope of a hidden presence.

He whispers, "I don't want to be left behind in the dark, let's go! " and lights his candle. Then rushes after Sir Richard and the Engineer.
