Alex

With a felling of great unease in him, Alex will follow a short distance behind Kin. As he passes the group "You all know we are more than likely walking into the dragons den, right?" "Kin, wait up a moment."

Kinlin

The kender stops at Alex request.

"What's that Alex?"

Alex

"I think we need to keep a sharp eye out in here. I am leery of the dwarfs. We dont know if they work with the dragon."

"I doubt it, but we certainly need to stay sharp, if the little dragons were fighting alongside those dragonmen earlier then it stands to reason they would be here with the big one too!  Either way our destination doesn't change and maybe these little folk can help us out?"

OOC: I don't really need a marching order but Kilin and Alex are in the front. Any others?

Xorn will be in front of the others will allow it. He was one of the last out of the previous room though. 

The companions go down the stairs taking care not to make to much noise but still trying to make haste. You arrive into a large room.

Dim light shines up through the floor. A vast hall stretches to the east. The ceiling, heavily reinforced, stands solidly above, but below, the floor has fallen away in several places. Hot mists, carrying the odor of decay, rise through the holes in the floor.

The resting place of the city’s lost inhabitants, the Hall of Ancestors houses the ancient tombs and sarcophagi of long-dead priests and kings. The tombs are in a state of disorder, having been looted by intruders. The eastern floor has fallen away, leaving a large hole from which a thick white mist rises. The stone floor is buckled. The air here is cold and damp. The walls drip with condensation. Broken streets branch out from this area, leading to various parts of the city. 

The main room has two exits. One to the east and one to the west. A faint sound can be heard from the west. 

OOC: Investigation check for the few in front.

That seems accurate for the not so bright Minotaur. 

Kinin’s investigation: 20

"I highly doubt the dwarves would be in cahoots with that filthy dragon, but at this point with all that's happened today, it wouldn't surprise if it were true. As Escarin says, I'd expect more of those dragon men the deeper we go. Either way, yes, our destination remains unchanged whether we're helped or hindered."

As Geoff walks near the middle of the group, he puts the now fully charged Staff in its usual place on his back with his cloak covering it. He now has his spear and shield out, using the spear as a walking stick as they continue to move.

He says to Bryony attempting to lighten the mood of the group (and to help him cope with recent events involving his brother nearly becoming lunch), "Hell of a first day with a new group of people eh? Talking statues of Mishakal, healing magic, dragon men, and even dragons."

When the few in front stop on alert, Geoff stops talking and points his spear forward at the ready.

Kinlin and Alex are both in front. They notice at the same time that the floor in front of the hole is very unstable and should be avoided. 

To the west a sibilant voice can be heard cursing and the cracking of a whip breaking the silence. "Go into the pot .. Quickly now you filthy balls of dirt."

Kinlin looks up to Alex. He wishpers at him " Do you think that hissing voice could be of one of that draco-man? " he asks to the half-elf. "A pot? we should go and find what they are talking about. " he takes a few steps towards the zone " Oh and tell the others not to step over there, specially Xorn" he points to the zone where the floor seems unstable.

( If not stopped by Alex: 13 stealth to go and see what's happening )

Alex

Knowing how pointless it is trying to talk a kinder out of doing something, Alex will simple keep an eye on Kin. "Watch your step."

Kinlin sees a large chain and several gully dwarves being prodded into large.pot. 

The draconian wields a whip and seems ready to use it. There are two of them. But the chain seems to be coming up. 

Kinlin comes back as quickly as he can and tell the others what he has seen.

”I do not know who or what are coming up from that chain. But it looked fun! Can we jump on it Alex?”

Geoff listens to Kinlin and says, "May not be a good idea Kin, perhaps after we send the dracomen to the afterlife?"

Alex

Seeing the excitement in Kin's face but know what trouble he can cause in a short period of time "Not right now. I think we need to keep moving." Alex will slip back to the others and caution them of the floor and the chain room.

“We can push them towards the cliff “ says Kinlin still excited. “ Do you think that their wings will make them fly? “ he asks to Xorn “I like to fly, did we tell you that we flew on pegasus back?” He asks to Bryoni “It was after we met the Forest Lord and..” 

“Sssht” reprends Shan from behind “ Not now Kinlin or I will turn you into a mushroom” 

The kender opens his eyes wide, and was about to answer another thing to the wizard but, seeing her stern face, he decides to save it for later. He had to admit that since they met at the Last Home he wants to ask her about her new powers. Should she be able to turn him into a mushroom? That sounded kind of boring, but perhaps he can turn him to a dragon! That would be exciting and... He focused on the task at hand, guiding the rest towards the safest route and into the mist.

Xorn at the last moment pulls back his hoof that was about to take him off not unstable area of floor. Looking down at the Kender he shakes his head “Can you ever be quiet? We talked about this, there is a time for chatter and a time for quiet.” With that, he moves with the others.
