[pnpgm] UPDATE #83 , File 266 (I think - lol) - Raddok

[Bessie Hadley]

Raddok had been relieved that climbing apparatus was in place for the climb down the cliff, although he checked the pins for their secureness as he had descended. He was a bit disturbed by the heavy darkness, which signaled magic to him, but he had seen such before, so it just heightened his alertness. He had a feeling of an unseen presence & briefly wondered if Fremea or someone else was close by, but let them slide out of his thoughts to avoid looking for them. He saw glowing lichens on the rocky walls & carving that might have been pictures, designs or symbols of some kind, but when he heard Velf's warning, he did not want to look at them closer & quickly checked the ceiling overhead for low spots. [OOC: does he notice anything in that space?]

Barbosa was busy wrapping his scrapes and cuts from the rough descent outside & he went over to check them out. They appeared superficial, then Velf called out, pointing & waving at the dwarf, who was still hanging on to the end of his bandage in his teeth, as he smoothed & evened out the wrappings on his wrist. Barbosa looked quickly at Raddok, who, after a quick moment, nodded back to the man. 

"He just wants you to go over and look at something on the wall," he said quickly in Dwarf Elder. "He said something about humans getting - sick or something - when they tried to read it." He stood back a little & helped pull the dwarf to his feet, but then gave him a mild shove forward, and leaned forward to talk in his ear, but also grimaced, as if mildly annoyed. Raddok whispered, "He says it's Dvallin. And he needs you dwarves to read it. Come on," he said louder, "He says you'll be a hero." And he smiled, a bit grimly, keeping an arm out to steady the dwarf ahead of him. He found he had to slide his eyes over any carving, or he got slightly light-headed. 

He wondered if the magic here was one he was invulnerable to or not. He had some mental invulnerability to certain magics, & other mental magic he was immune to, but he had no real experience to automatically know if he was protected or not. He also had no idea what was going on here yet, although he certainly didn't think Fomoria needed any more power than they already had grabbed. Right now, though he needed his eyes and awareness - they all did. [GM - just let me know if Raddok's Mental Invulnerability makes anything look different to him, or if he can operate better due to any protection. Thanks! - B]
