[New Stuff]
[Ma 3rd, 1636TH]
[Time: 1:00 pm – South-East of Ma'Dor]
Dorhak reaches over and stops Barbosa, shaking his head. "No."
Velf looks confused but more agitated waiting.
Dorhak has led others in battle
before. He's leading this insane group right
now, though leading might just be a very
exaggerated word for it. But he's also the
Captain. He is responsible for the welfare of
his crew. It took every bit of this ugly little
dwarf's patience and willpower not to toss this
Velf scum down the abyss. All those Elder lives
lost because of his feckless, faint hearted
cowardice. He makes a promise to himself,
silently signaling it to Barbosa, that he swears
to end Velf's pathetic existence when this is over.
Velf shrugs, “humans get no response
to this wall. Why we need dwarves. The Makers were smart in that regard.”
Dorhak remains 'in character' and
tells Raddok, "I will go first. I could use a shield and weapon."
He still looks around, noting as many
details of the cavern as he can recognize. He is,
of course, a dwarf, and the cavern is plenty
light enough for him. The torch is almost overkill.
He hopes somebody can provide him his request.
Arawn rummaged through his pack,
pulling out Dorhak's gear and setting it near the
dwarf. This was followed by Barbosa's gear. As he
knelt down near the dwarves he whispered in Dwarf
Elder, "This place is warded by ultra-powerful
magic and likely purified and dedicated towards
elder or even dwarven magic. And don't forgot the
omen, 'The heart leads to long term trauma while
the mind relies on daunting ambition. Which can
lead to old meeting new and new meeting old.' It
might apply here or further in the test."
Velf frowns, “those items will not
help here. This is a rite of brains not
might. It is random so not some preset riddle
all can solve.” He folks both arms against his
chest. “But if it makes you feel good so be it.”
Raddok, now within a forming cluster
of Arawn & the two dwarves, leans forward, and
quietly asks in Dwarf Elder, "What do you want me
to tell this - bully-boy, especially if he
doesn't want to let you arm up?" He glances
curiously, & with a faint, hidden smile at
Dorhak. "Is there something in particular you
want him to think you know, don't know - or want to know?"
As Dorhak prepares to begin his
quest, Kiet walks over to him. Kiet has over to
him his black buckler with a dagger in it in a
sheath. He doubts he has anything else he can offer.
In halting Dwarf Elder he says,
"knock on shield three times and you get earth
strength. Only for emergency. One time per day. Dagger is magic."
Pyan starts to motion for his weapon
when Velf mentions it getting dangerous beyond
this point. But then remembers he said there ware
no beasts so instead of reading his sword he
looks up at the ceiling, looking ahead a short
distance them repeats it after carefully advancing that far.
Either way, Dorhak says, "I’m ready" still in Dwarf Elder.
[Time: 1:03 pm – South-East of Ma'Dor]
Raddok translates for Velf.
“Finally. Step forward into the circle.”
Dorhak glares at Velf implying if
this is a trap he will pay. He steps slowly into
the sand circle ringed with a grayish tint of
perimeter mineral of some kind – probably common crystallized quartz?.
Dorhak looks down into the abyss a
bit leery of the darkness. He ignores it and
waits. And waits. He glares at Velf.
Suddenly the two large oval
rune/gem/ward things glow a bright white-gray.
Then a beam from each bursts forth like a cold
fire lance and hits Dorhak. But it is only a
slight tickle as the top beam starts on head and
bottom on his feat. It begins to move up and down depending.
Velf nods, “its normal it is
confirming you are a dwarf.” He tells Raddok for translation.
The scans meet in the center of his
stomach and stop. “Welcome brave and bold one.“
Dorhak only hears this in his mind.
“To unlock the Vault of Omagon you
must complete simple tasks. First two simple
riddles for such a artistic sculptor.” Again only Dorhak hears this.
“First riddle- “, everyone hears this
now in Dwarf Elder. “This thing never ages as
you keep it close. Once given it is gone forever.”
Velf turns to Raddok and adds, “while
on this side it seems acceptable to it,” he nods
to the wall, “others can help him. But after he
leaves this side he is alone. This is where ...we lose many.”
[Time: 1:06 pm – South-East of Ma'Dor]
Actions? Comments?
Next Update...Wednesday?
GM: A quick update. Will try to do next
riddle Tue/Wed if this one is answered
correctly. Unali and Fremea do you guys enter
cave? There is plenty of space to not be seen at this point.
