The Wayfarer's Inn

Ivid & Elmo quietly follow the others into the tomb.

Ivid takes in the situation in the tunnel. Then he quietly adds "I agree, take your time, Eilkhan." Ivid scans the tunnel to the left with his longbow ready.

Elmo faces backwards, scanning the gorge for a possible ambush from behind us, with his weapons ready, as well.

After reading the message and pondering the wording of the warning, Kherim scowls, "If you are going to kill a man then kill him, do not talk about it."

Watching Eilkhan go about her own work he waits patiently for her to signal it is safe to proceed.

OOC:sorry for being a bit absent, I just returned from Gencon. I should be posting regularly from here out.

While Eilkhan searches for traps, Ahi silently translates some of the many writings that cover the walls here. All are of an evil religious nature, intermixed with accounts of the terrible deeds performed by Rahotep against all manner of living things. Included is the pronouncement that, in death, he is more able to work dark deeds and cause pain and suffering than ever before. Further wall paintings show torture, death and all manner of wicked deeds done by Rahotep. In some scenes he is shown smiling from flames, wading in streams of molten lava, diving into boiling water, or breaking sharp-edged blades and bending pointed weapons against his flesh.

After a thorough search, Eilkhan is finally as sure as she can be that there are no mechanical traps hidden in the immediate entrance area (the first 30 feet) of the hall.

OOC: I'll add a grid to the map with the next update.

Once it has been indicated by Eilkhan that she feels the passage ahead safe, Kherim Shah raises his rune covered scimitar and shield and steps forward into the passage. He casts his helmed gaze first left then right.

"We must decide, my friends, in which direction shall we begin this delve."
