D&D: Palace of the Silver Princess

**at this rate, that ought to be sometime in the next decade... **

We gather the largest most interesting pieces of the statues... then we'll proceed through the Southwestern door (After checking for traps and doing the standard listen checks etc...)

 

[Spiderman]

The largest pieces seem to be part of a forearm and a thigh. Who's carrying them?

The door doesn't seem to be trapped and no one can hear anything behind it. Opening it, you see a passage heading west. Going for 30', it seems to split to the west and south, with a door 20' south in the west wall.

** I will gather a few pieces myself, not the big ones - maybe fist sized or so... Anyone else claims whatever parts you want to carry...**

We'll Head South.

 

[Prince RXI]

Karnage notices that some of the people have picked pieces of the statues up... then shrugs and takes a few pieces himself then follows the group, grumbling about strange traditions...

 

[Spiderman]

I assume you bypass the door since you know where it goes?

You head south and turn east. 30' more you come to a door in the south wall. The passage continues east for at least 30' more that your torchlight shows.

 

[BigBlue]

Patrick

We check out the door, if it's safe we head in. (I believe it's almost time to rest again... so much for the rotation helping... )

 

[Spiderman]

You don't hear anything behind the door nor find any traps, so you open the door to find...

a room about 30' east-west and 20' north-south, with the door in the middle of the north wall. In the center of the room is a folding screen with three panels. The screen is five feet high and six feet wide. From behind the screen you hear a forlorn wailing sound and see two vaguely human-like shadows. The shadows are about four and one half feet tall and have no heads or arms. Their legs are indistinct. The eerie shadows dance wildly about.

 

[Oversoul]

"Er--I think I might have dropped something in one of the rooms that was NOT this one."

**I second Cugel's emotion... "Excuse us... we were just leaving..." Close the door and run.... ok, not really what I do... I sort of wait to see how the rest of the party reacts...**

Si'Nat

(At the back of the pack already I ready the bow and arrow...)

 

[Prince RXI]

Karnage mearly readies his blade and waits for an order from the others... or a sign to start chopping^_^

 

[Oversoul]

*At first hesitant to do anything other than leave, Cugel doesn't see his sentiment echoed much among the rest of the group. He brings an arrow into one hand while whispering.*

"So, are we going to try to deal with these things, or would we rather skip them and come back later?"

 

[TomB]

*I'd say come back later...I mean, how often have we seen Karnage being prudent?

Sounds like Armageddon day to me...*

 

[train]

Si'Nat

(I'm up for whatever... but ready to shoot nonetheless... someone decide...)

 

[train]

Si'Nat

"Well... I guess I'll rid us of the guesswork..."

(Readies his sword, enters the room and prepares for swinging as he tosses the folding screen aside...)

 

[Spiderman]

(Thanks train...)

Everyone is taken aback at Si'Nat's bold move. Even more surprising is what is revealed when the folding screen is tossed aside: a pair of dressmakers dummies with sleeveless dresses on them and a lit lantern behind them. A couple of chests sit on the floor.

Patrick

**Geez.... I like that one.... A lot... DM Humor...**

 

[Prince RXI]

*lol!!*

Karnage just grins and laughs as they find it's not enemies, but dummies... *Que pun*

 

[Oversoul]

"Well, how did they make that noise?"

 

[Spiderman]

Investigation shows that the area behind the folding screen becomes a wind tunnel for the air coming through the door.

(I'm gonna give Cugel 100 extra XP for actually asking that question )
