Pumpkin scadadles right up to the Yasei and the headband, eagerly picking up the blood stained fabric where the Samurai was hesitant.
”Do ya tink a headband fits the ‘hole mysterious desert wandera motif that I’m tryin’ ta pull off?” Stage whispers the blonde teenager, an critical eye for fashion scrutinizing the piece like a veteran fashionista.
Yasei whispers, so as to not awaken the sleeping stirges on the cavern ceiling above: "Whoa there, Pumpkin! Be careful with that. It's likely a trap!"
She'll then tip toe ever so quietly closer to the sword, and gently place a hand on the hilt. Tentatively, she's waiting to see if she has awoken the spirit of the blade.
Nothing triggers when the headband is pulled, no traps. You would have spotted them.
Yasei thinks to herself, something along the lines of: The only trap here is the weight which comes with this headband and the naivety of this young girl.
[It's totally up to you whether you accept the headband or not, players =) Don't feel inclined like you have to.]
The hilt's blue fabric grip is soft and well worn. The sword clanks a bit due to loose fittings when you place your hand on it and grasp the handle. You feel an emptiness in the sword, like the soul of it is gone. Perhaps with the original attuned owner, you're not sure. The Tsuba (Guard) is a brass coloured steel which depicts two cat fish swimming around in a circle. The Habaki has an inscription engraved on it. A single character name: "Ishigo"
Something terrible happened in this cavern, in this fight. What's left now is just a very well crafted katana. It's a shame the years have been so crewel to it.
If Yasei takes it:
Ishigo has the same properties as a Longsword but on hit deals an additional 1d4 acid damage. On a critical hit, the sword breaks.
Before Yasei can steal Pumpkin’s well deserved loot, she goes ahead and wraps the bloodstained head band around her forehead, and shoots the group an extremely pleased smirk, complete with double peace signs. She’s nice enough to leave Yasei the rusty old sword though. Pumpkin then leads the group (maybe? She’s not really looking back at any of you regardless) to the adjacent room.
Area 3 and 8 are much the same, more darkness so you move into area 2.
A small island of sand is seen with a tiny moat of clean, fresh water surrounding it. It seems the storm outside has passed and cracks in the ceiling let in streams of light, in them, tiny dust particles dance slowly, illuminated by the sun. In the middle of the small oasis sits a single, sizable flower with large green petals branching out from it. A perfect Desert Lotus.
“Yes.” Ruxio says, as he walks right for it. As he appraches, he pauses suddenly, and turns around, looking back at you all. “Did yah hear that?” He asks.
you hear nothing at first, then you get a hint of it. A soft, stifled giggle. Like a soft “yipping”
Yasei grabbed the sword, wraps a sash around it, and places it in her belt on her back.
Tiptoeing out of the cavern/room, she quickly follows Pumpkin to the next room. Upon seeing the lotus, she quickly grabs the back of Pumpkin's clothing, holding her back from bolting into the room. Whispering into her ear, "Hold up, young one. Let Sir Ruxio handle this one, for this is his area of expertise, not ours."
Ruxio is suddenly covered in red cloud of star dust, Cora is covered in blue, Yasei in green and Bobo in pink. Like a dusty glitter, it settles down on you. It looks like you all just finished a colour run.
I look at Dani slowly, put my finger on my nose, pinching one nostril shut. I exhale sharply through the open nostril, puffing out blue powder with an annoyed look on my face.
Pumpkin grabs as much glitter, star dust, and sand from her person and the cave floors, and tosses it in wild arcs in a circle around her, squinting for any visible telltales or changes in the air to indicate her efforts hit something.
(How loudly are you talking? =P)

Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?

"Wow!" Cora admires, "That's a nice blade!"
At what volume do you exclaim Cora, while in a room filled with sleeping dinosaur bats?
On a scale of 1 to AC/DC, i'd say..3.
Hahaha :p tempted to make you roll for loudness.
What would y’all like to do with the sword and headband moving forward?

I keep forgetting we're supposed to be quiet LOL. Cora nudges Yasei, and nods her head as if to say "Take it."

Yip, Yip! More giggling. Hard to pin point...

YIP YIP! It seems to find that hilarious.
POoF!
A clear sparkle of dust bursts into Dani, Cora, Bobo and Yasei’s faces. Make me a DC11 WIS save.
