"So, it looks like we're in this together now. How would you feel about taking point with that mighty hammer of yours Daj?"
"If that's what we need." Daj moves forward to take point, hammer in hand. As the others talk about truth, Daj looks around at the place where they have found themself. First, to see if the ooze are likely to follow and then to see where the path may lead. In particular, looking to ensure the way is safe (perception: 12)
If it is too dark to see sufficiently, Daj takes out a torch and lights it.
"Do any of you know where we are headed? Or do we just push onward?"
Etrigan, you can surmise that while the cave in is imposing, there does seem to be a chamber down below. However, unless someone can moves several tons of stone and earth quickly, it would take quite a bit of time to clear the area, so perhaps in the interest of expediency, the other passage might be a better bet.
As soon as Daj crosses the threshold of the passage and enter the darkness, there is a rush of light as a single dancing flame bounces from one oil-filled sconce to the next, setting them alight before continuing its enchanting dance down the hall. You can make out shapes along the walls as your stretched shadow surveys the scene. The hallway continues down for quite a ways, nearly winking out by the end.
(Investigation check to examine the shapes on the walls if you wish)

"Mm, yes, I'm sure we will be perfectly safe making our way to this tomb below us." Etrigan grins back at Athyra, his red eyes glaring curiously at her for a moment before turning their attention to the mysterious shapes along the shady walls.

"Well, that acts as good as a welcome gong,"Daj mutters as the lights come to life down the hallway. He looks down the hall, following the direction of the light to see if there is any indication of danger. (Investigation: 8)
"Is everyone ok? Those ooze were a little unexpected." Daj looks at the barbarian. "It looked like one of them may have got you there. Do you need any assistance?"
Rohesia nods to Daj. "I did take a couple of blows from those things. Might be good to heal those up a bit," she says. "And I'm not sure where we should go. I thought the halfling said she'd be back. But back where?" She glances down the corridor. "I suppose we may as well look around."
"Yes, while we wait let's look around to make sure an ancient evil doesn't leave this place." The demon chuckles. "I don't expect that little mousy thing that dropped us down here to get back until we have dealt with her troubles, do you?"
"And I absolutely would love to hear more about you and the immensely-evil-and-powerful-wizard-tombs you have explored then Athyra." Etrigan turns and says to the intriguing blue-skinned woman.
Daj approaches Rohesia and lays a hand on her shoulder. As he does so, he offers a quick prayer to Helm. Beneath his hand it begins to grow warm, radiating from his palm for just a moment. "I hope that helps."
Athyra and Etrigan, you both take a good look at the curious shapes and realize they are actually weapons of various kinds affixed to the wall. They look pretty well stuck on but you can try and take one off if you like. (STR check to take one off)Etrigan, you also notice, though barely perceptible, that the weapons don't seem to be casting a shadow at all, even though they are most definitely real and solid.
Etrigan takes note of the holy light emanating from Daj's hand, then returning his attention to the shadowless weapons. "Is it by these blades any liar will face his punishment you think?" He mutters, deciding not to touch any of the weapons.
“Nope, she’s definitely not coming back until we are done.” Athyra replies cheerfully, “And I’d be happy to tell you of my previous adventures once we are through with this one!”
Once she noticed the weapons, she leans close to one, a longbow if there is one, to get a closer look. When Etrigan mutters his question, she responds, “Well I guess we should find out!”
With that she attempts to yank the bow out of the wall.
"What are you doing? Do you really think looting this place is the right thing to do right now?"Daj moves toward the hallway where the lights have appeared to take up position at the front of the party. "If we have nothing else to do here, we should press on. That appears to be the only way out of here."
With that she attempts to yank the bow out of the wall.
Strength: 11
You attempt to pull the weapon from the wall but find it surprisingly well fastened. However, once you step back from the wall, you find yourself holding a shadowy version of the weapon you attempted to pull free.
As you all continue moving through the dimly lit chamber, you notice that the shadows you are casting against the white walls aren't quite synchronized with your movement.
Looking at the shadow bow in her hands, Athyra says, "Well that's not something you see every day." She holds attempts to pull the string back, to see if it is real. Is she is able to, she carefully lets the string pull itself back into place without releasing it. Dryfireing is bad for any bow, a shadow bow is no exception. After she tries this, she notices the other shadows.

After Daj sets his hand on her shoulder and heals her, Rohesia smiles at him. "Thank you. Yes, that certainly does help."
Watching Athyra try and apparently fail to pull one of the weapons from the wall, she is quite surprised when she is holding a shadow bow. She takes a look again down the hall, at both the shapes of weapons as well as the shadows that now seem to have attracted Athyra's attention. (Investigation: 7, Perception: 11)
"Does it feel like it works like a real bow?" she asks Athyra.
"If that's what we need." Daj moves forward to take point, hammer in hand. As the others talk about truth, Daj looks around at the place where they have found themself.

“Wow! Now this is cool!” Athyra says as she studies the shadows. She looks back at Etrigan, “See, nothing to worry about!”

"Of course! What's more safe than the tomb of an evil wizard?"
The demon chuckles in the sadows. "Been to many then have you Athyra?" He asks with a curious grin, his red eyes peering at the blue-skinned woman.
"Obviously," She says with a wry smile.
"Well, that acts as good as a welcome gong," Daj mutters as the lights come to life down the hallway. He looks down the hall, following the direction of the light to see if there is any indication of danger. (Investigation: 8)

Daj notices the unusual nature of the shadows around him and takes a closer look.

Etrigan too is curious of the properties of the shadow bow, but then turns his attention to the desynchronized shadows.
