(OOC - Rawly might want to look up this little fella in his big book of everything to see what an axe beak is hehe before he decides to become 'Mama')
(OOC - the buildings that were burnt down - do they look like it recently happened?)
"Old voman, vat is zis place?" and he'll point at the giant statue
Eku:"This is the shrine of the Man and the Crocodile. I have never come back here since the Camp was attacked months ago. There is an ancient tale related to this place."
In the early days of the world, Man stood by the banks of a river, frightened. Crocodile raised his head from the water and asked, “What troubles you, cousin Man?”
Man said, “I must cross this river, but I fear to enter the water alone, because it teems with your brethren.”
Crocodile replied, “It’s true, you would not be safe. But I will carry you across the river safely on my back, if you promise to return the favor.” Man agreed, and Crocodile bore him safely across the water
When they reached the far bank, Man asked, “How can I repay you?” Crocodile replied, “I wish to see the realm of Humans, but I fear to go there alone, because it teems with your brethren. You must carry me on your back across your realm.” Man had been tricked, but a promise is a promise, so he carried Crocodile safely on his back across the entire realm of humans, a journey that lasted many years. He also swore, in his anger, that never again would Men and Crocodiles be friends, and so it has remained to this day.
OOC As Eku confirmed, the Camp was attacked months ago.
(OOC - yes - so filcat doesn't have to repeat himself - she spoke of it outside the ruins when I asked)
Eku:" Sure. In short, a man asked a crocodile to be carried on the other side of a river, for fear of other crocodiles. The crocodile accepts with the promise from the man to return the favour. Once the deed was done, the crocodile asked to be carried in the land of the man. The man obliged to keep the promise but it swore that man and crocodile would have been friends no more. Maybe to pass, we should endure the very same fate of the man?"
OOC The story has been narrated by Eku, it is the only way to know it.
OOC: Sorry, I wasn't aware the story had been told. I've been so busy lately that I've been unable to keep up with any of my games. We finally finished moving last night, so I'll be able to catch up and be involved again.
(OOC - no worries :) and congrats on the moving being finished - I hate moving, I just bought a house last year and have told all my friends and family that I'm going to die in that house - I'm not moving again hehe)
OOC Yes, everyone is currently on the floor-trap, while Hellmuth is just flying above you. Once you pass the floor-trap, you will need to climb the ledge to get in front of the wooden door.
The piggyback team Nemaia-Lyorna passes on the tiles without troubles. They also climb the ledge and find themselves in front of the door with the thunder trap.
"...Debts must always be paid, sometimes in more than blood and gold. But this is Ordo Ursa," Ren places his hand on Erakas's chest, right where the Dragonborn's heart is. "Right here. And it always has been and always will be. Don't ever forget that. Because I won't."

On the last ledge is the party in two piggyback formations: Rawly-Eku and Nemaia-Lyorna, while Hellmuth hovers above (wisely). In front of them, the trapped wooden with the tiles pattern awaits.
"So, how do we go about this? We know this door is trapped, but how to bypass it?" Rawly's cloak billows behind him dramatically.
((OOG I don't think I understand the pattern or maybe I missed it? It has been some time since I've been on, sorry for that and thanks for being understanding, y'all... but anyways, can I do a standard Intelligence check to maybe figure it out? ))

A dwarf with a canoe on his back? What could go wrong?

"So we need to carry one anotha?" Lyorna said, still trying to stretch out her muscles, while nursing the burns to her flesh.
"Nobody will be carrying me," Nemaia grumbled.
A dwarf with a canoe on his back? What could go wrong?
"So be it, I will be on top den" Lyorna said in response to Nemaia's grumble.
OOC: So... where am I carrying Lyorna? Are we still trying to get across this trap with the holes in the floor?

OOC Yes, everyone is currently on the floor-trap, while Hellmuth is just flying above you. Once you pass the floor-trap, you will need to climb the ledge to get in front of the wooden door.
(OOC - I can fly over to the other ledge if it'll help clear the way for Lyorna/Nemaia to get up to the door)

OOC: Given I am on Nemaia's shoulders can I see the door and direct Nemaia which way to walk?
OOC: Awesome
Lyorna, from her newfound position finds the tiles on the door more easily accessible, and begins to guide Nemaia to the right tiles.
The piggyback team Nemaia-Lyorna passes on the tiles without troubles. They also climb the ledge and find themselves in front of the door with the thunder trap.
"Well dat worked well, do what we did!" she calls down to Rawly and Eku.
Eku stares at Rawly: " Come on, now. You don't expect an old lady to carry you, do you?"
(OOC - thought we figured out the floor puzzle but the door was the problem)

"I'll do the lifting here, Eku. Climb up."
