OOC:
@Omenstar. That could be done. It is stone and would take three strong men to move it.

"Nar, Grok, help me lift this thing," grunts Jhishma, as he grabs hold of the vile statue, "Let's carry it over to that crack in the cavern wall and shove it in so tight that nothing will come outta there and attack our backs. What do you think?"
Nov 22, 2016 3:50 am
"Stand away from that knife. We need to dispose of it without touching it before addressing the statue. It is an evil instrument of Orcus. I have an idea, but it will take a moment and involves smashing the crap out of it with my maul, which could be a bit noisy..."
Nov 22, 2016 6:37 pm
Jhishma looks back and forth between Nar and the statue, and backs away slowly. "If we have to leave it for now," says Jhishma decisively, "then we'll have to just risk moving forward and ignore whatever it is that Grok sniffed in the hole. C'mon, let's keep moving..."

Grok nods sharply to Jhishma, before slipping silently down the northern cavern.

Owen follows his companions, trying to watch their backs. Frustratingly he cannot see in darkness.

Grok approaches the larger cavern. As noticed before, a large structure dominates the center off the space. It is mostly square, but juts slightly toward him near the left side. He passes around the side. It is narrower on that edge. Around the back it is a mirror to the first side.

80 feet long, 20 feet on a side widening to 30 feet about 15 feet from an end, then narrowing to 20 on the far side.

Grok has a sneaking suspicion that he has seen this shape before, but it's scale dwarfs the imagination.

Thoroughly stumped, Grok prods it with the butt of his axe. "What dis thingy?"

With a sensation of awe creeping into his voice, Nar says, almost in a whisper, "Is this...is this a massive sarcophagus?"

Jhishma makes a sharp intake of breath as the implications of Nar's question sink in. He touches the iron symbol of the snowflake at his breast and silently draws on the power and awareness of the Lady of Winter, with a knot of anticipation in his stomach, wondering what fiends or undead may be occupying this unholy lair...
OOC:
Divine Sense...

Jhishma's connection to his patron fills his senses with new awareness. He scans the darkness, suddenly re-aware of the pollution from the ur-church, but that is overwhelmed by the palpable evil of the 'sarcophagus'.

He senses no undead or fiends.

At the far end of the cavern, down a side tunnel, a torch flickers, growing closer.

Grok sneaks up to the side tunnel, flattening himself to the wall and making himself ready to jump on whomever enters from it. He listens closely after footsteps or the like from the tunnel.

Seeing Grok's move to get the jump on whomever is coming, but that Grok's positioning is a little clumsier than usual, Jhishma advances to a position in full view of the opening of the side tunnel and says loudly, "Come forth and be judged!"
OOC:
Hoping Jhishma grabs the attention of the torch-bearer so that Grok can have Advantage on his stealth and achieve surprise?

Nar stands away from the tunnel entrance, prepared to pounce on whatever emerges.
Nov 28, 2016 3:17 am
Likewise, Owen pulls his crossbow back in preparation.
Nov 28, 2016 5:24 am
The footsteps grow louder, then the telltale sound of plate armor can be picked out. About 15 feet back from the tunnel mouth, a man stops, staring at Jhishma.

"Huh. Never had intruders before. How did you- nevermind, I guess. I, uh, have done biscuits, and ale, I think. Come along then. "

He steps to the side and holds his arm out back the way he came from, clearly indicating that you may proceed him.

"I am Ubar-Sin.
Nov 28, 2016 5:44 am
Nar steps to Jhishma's side and stands silently, examining this Ubar-Sin character, both visually and his words for sincerity.

Owen will do the same, but staying slightly behind the paladins. He tries to get a read on the stranger.
