Chapter 7 -- In Search of a Book Seller

[jcftao]

Milton listens quietly at each door, no sound comes from any direction. He examines all the doors for sign of traps and finds no sign of traps.

The cultist robes are dark red. The ghostly monk's robes are had to discern a color for he appears like a black and white image. The holy symbol of the ghostly monk is of a lawful good deity named Adalbern. You all know this god as one of the old gods, and the head of the pantheon of gods. Interestingly enough, his son Heimos is believed responsible for the death of Adalbern during God Fall.

The cultists are wearing unholy symbols of Heimos.

Tarmo opens the east door!

ooc: Figured it was as good a choice as any.

[jcftao]

Tarmo puts his shoulder against the east door. In the dim light of the torch he sees a small room, 10 x10.
In the center of the room is an effigy made of rushes woven together. The image is crudely done, yet has a human shape and size.

It stands in the room like a silent sentinel.

No other objects are within the small room.

Actions?

[Etarr_the_Good]

Balthus will draw his sword just in case, but will try to discern if he recognizes the effigy.

[merias]

"Well I think we now know what those cultists were doing with the rushes," Tarmo says. He'll enter the room and examine the effigy in more detail. If he finds nothing, he'll suggest moving to the west door.

[jcftao]

Tarmo opens the west door. A long dark corridor stands before you. Dust and debris lie on floor. Old cobwebs string across the corridor. No one appears to have been down this corridor in ages. A musty smell comes from the corridor.

With the door open, Tarmo thinks he hears a clicking sound from the tunnel.

Actions?

[Etarr_the_Good]

Balthar will lead the way down to hall.

[merias]

Tarmo follows, bow ready.

[jcftao]

Before you continue, I just want to make sure you understand that there is also a south door yet unexplored.

[merias]

"Should we check this door first?" Tarmo says, pointing south.

I'm OK either way, but perhaps we should not leave an unchecked room behind us.
