Kathleen was taking in the sights as they moved. Traveling had always been something that she loved and seeing the architecture and design of the temple reminded her of her younger days of exploring old abandoned buildings with her friends. Those buildings were by no means ancient ruins but to a kid, exploring a building that has been boarded up and devoid of humanoid occupants for 5 or 10 years is just as exciting. She couldn't read Celestial but the carved pictures on the wall captivated her nonetheless. Her fake smile has been replaced by a real one, though it isn't clear if anyone noticed. She imagines what it must have been like in the temple during its hay-day. When the party arrives at the obsidian room, her eyes light up as she takes in the beauty of the black room. Her spirits are immediately lifted and her smile widens, revealing a row of beautiful white teeth as she moves her head around to take in as much of the room as possible. She doesn't break line though and says cheerfully, "This room is beautiful!"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ria moves through the temple without sparing much more than a glance for the pictures on the walls, her eyes fixed on the blood trail. Somebody looking closely might notice that she's shaking a little, still doing her best to keep her breathing calm and regulated. As they reach the larger room, she pays little mind to the room itself, instead scanning the floor for the continuation of the blood trail.
Ria notices several things about this onyx room. As she tries to find the next droplet of blood splatter, it doesn’t seem to happen until close to the middle of the large room. Clearly the wound was being treated more, or not bleeding as bad, the trail could be cold soon. In her investigation of scanning the floor ahead of her, she notices the way to floor is tiled, there are some large obsidian tiles that lead towards the end of the room. Out of a quick glance, it seems the walls faintly catch the flame’s light, revealing carved words in several languages covering every on of the walls except an empty space to the center right.

Ria frowns. "We're going to lose the trail soon," she warns the others. "I don't suppose any of you can read these?" She gestures the words on the wall before looking herself to see if she recognizes any of the languages.
Several of the team can read the words etched in the darkness, but not all. Many languages make up the scene. The sinking feeling in Katznii’s stomach festers as he connects the story told before with the scene around them.
Names.
An unfathomable amount of names carved into stone, all bout the right center. Here, Katznii and anyone able to read Celestial can read: Don’t forget. Not all in war pay in Gold and Favor
"A tomb?.....then what's deeper down...." Jason stairs at the door leading to the next door, dread setting in his stomach. In a mummer, talking more to himself, than anyone, ".....what the heck are they here for?"
"Fun," Ria mutters. "Guess the shiny stuff Toothy and his friends are after is lower down." She crosses her arms, doing her best to disguise her shivering.
The realization of the party being in a tomb seems to dampen the mood a bit for Kathleen but only a bit. Spirits still higher than it has been in the past week, she says, "So this place was built as a memorial for soldiers? Then we are walking among the remains of great heroes of old. Let's move forward. If our targets wish to desecrate this place then we must stop them." Her voice, though bubbly as always, seems to bear the hints of sternness of a soldier talking about fallen brothers.
Ria’s steps echoed through the large room, as did Trinity’s, then Makani, Kathleen and finally Jason. Just as the lead made it to the center, keen ears could hear a clicking begin. Beneath them, tiles rumbled until they shifted and inch down before a loud click booms around them.
Just ahead, the large doors are etched in glowing light to make the similar shape of a hand imprint in gold. In Celestial, the door brandishes a familiar name now:
Katznii of Kree Sol-Derra
The team is able to make it across the room if they like.

Kathleen nods at Katznii's words. In spite of her recent ineffectiveness in combat, she stands close to Katznii so that she can react quickly should something happen.
Ria nods and tightens the grip on her bow for a moment before deliberately letting out a breath and doing her best to relax, remaining alert for what may happens. She approaches the door cautiously with Katznii.

"This is a memorial. A remembrance....a tomb." Katznii trails off awestruck by the sea of names.

Ria shifts, seeming slightly uncomfortable with Kathleen's tone. "Let's just find Toothy and his buddies," she mumbles.
