The Journey begins!

She inclined her head to him in response. "Tarynn." He appeared to be a half-breed, as she was, though from another region. This realization caused her to relax slightly, though one hand stayed at her weapon.

"Well meet Tarynn." Noticing her hand hovering by her weapon he attempted to ensure the woman he meant no harm. "Relax. I'm seeking employment just as you. Maybe we can check out the graveyard together? May the gods bless our sorry souls for taking the assignment."

She sized him up for a moment before nodding her assent. "Very well, Kenric. Besides, it can't be all that bad, can it?" She gave a lopsided smile in her best attempt at friendliness and moved closer to where the other adventurers were waiting.

frank will greet the small newcomers with a small wave and smile. He's surprised to meet a guy as scrawny as himself.

So the party is assembling in the ruined mausoleum. Now what do you do?

She peeked at the entryway, eager to get started but not one to rush into a possible trap. "Has anyone been inside yet, and do we even know what we're looking for? I'm admittedly not well versed in gnomish valuables but I'm ready to head in when you all are."

Shaking head "no we are all just preparing. I notice some magic of transmutation in there. also we are just searching the area for a small trinket with magical powers unknown to me. by the way I am a necromancer of the divine and arcane"

She had heard those terms mentioned before but they honestly meant nothing to her. All she knew of necromancy was some sort of affiliation with the dead, so she deferred to him at least for cemetery knowledge. "Hm, right. Well, just let me know when you're ready."

"I've never searched a graveyard. but I guess I should scan the room. maybe one of you want to open up that sarcophagus. Not me. that's a little morbid for my tastes.

The thought of the task being too morbid for a Necromancer made her chuckle. "If you think it's safe, I can most likely pry it open."

Goblin Slayer Posts : 56 Join date : 2011-05-30 Age : 33

"I wouldn't say safe, but I'll back you up. the rest of them seem ready for combat." I move 20 feet from the door towards the coffin.

She shrugged and moved 30 feet toward the sarcophagus.

"I'll open it. Unless anyone objects?"

"I'd be happy to help you with that..."

There doesn't appear to be anything here you haven't already noticed. A detailed check of the rubble piles on either side of the room turn up only broken stone and the occasional bit of rusted metal fragments. Whether support rods or old swords, you can no longer tell. The two remaining pillars, the stone coffin on a short dias, and the four iron braizers are the only features of the chamber.

The lid is extremely heavy, and will require a DC 20 STR check to move. Multiple characters may cooperate, adding their results together.

She grabs one end of the lid while he grabs the other and she tests its weight.

(18+2=a half-elf who REALLY wants to see what's in the box! LOL)

Tarynn heaved with all her strength, and before anyone else had even moved into position to help she already had the stone slab starting to shift. Luckily it wasn't trapped, although the stale air trapped inside was truly foul.

After easing the lid to the floor, all that was immediately visible within was a layer of fine, white powder. As fresh air rushed in to replace the old, faint swirls and eddies appeared but settled back down again and were gone within moments.

((Haha! *flexes*))

Feeling rather pleased with herself, she hardly noticed the stench. She took a quick peek inside but didn't see anything of interest right away. "Doesn't seem like anyone's home. Getting any strange vibe from in there?"

Goblin Slayer Posts : 56 Join date : 2011-05-30 Age : 33

I will light the torches with my firekit. why not right?

Goblin Slayer Posts : 56 Join date : 2011-05-30 Age : 33

and no strange vibe here lol.

Subject: Re: The Journey begins! Sat Jun 18, 2011 7:51 pm

(( Famous last words, ha. ))

"Well then let's see what's hiding in here, shall we?" Taking a deep breath away from the foul air she decided to take a closer look inside the sarcophagus.

What do you mean? Are you lighting the torches you carry, or do you mean the braizers?

Possibly a little light-headed from the stale air, Tarynn stumbled and fell into the sarcophagus. Losing her senses for only a moment, she came back to reality to find the powder swirling around her.
