Fremea makes sure Unali finds the rock, and quickly descends to make sure nothing is a miss or any surprises await them. You never know with these nasty humans anymore.

She checks to make sure there is nothing magical that could be triggered by her either. When she sees it is all clear, she makes sure Unali has descend already and quietly pops inside the cave. Moving slowly and hovering just a little bit.

        [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]

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.
