As Kora tells her tale and the party listens on and responds the ground starts shaking again. Not as fierce as to tumble you to the ground, but enough that you almost lose your balance. Dust falls from the ceiling.
So what now? What would you like to do?

"...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."

Sylrie sat and listened to Kora's information, absorbing it on a nearly intimate level. It felt so close now, so real, his personal thoughts had been invaded. Even as the earth shook beneath his feet his mind reeled and he had trouble focusing on keeping his balance.
(I would change back, but I don’t know if I can still feel his presence as a Johnuli/What I found with my Blindsight (if anything))
(That’s still something I would like to know)
John’s body shifts backwards, the tooth regrowing as his head becomes the normal colors, as he grows and becomes less skinny. Soon, John is back. we can figure that out later. But I have the feeling that something bad is coming- the earth is shaking, dust falling. This place might even be collapsing. I suggest we talk all this over somewhere safe.
“John is right,” Kora says. “Right now we need to explore this place, find out what is going on, and find a way out. Sylrie, you lead, but let’s move quick, we don’t have the advantage of surprise any more.”

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. I love it so.
Your blindsight throws nothing your way, but yes you can feel his presence still inside your head.

Aria nods and calls Sivi back onto her shoulder, where he promptly climbs into her bag. She unslings her bow and lays an arrow on the string as Sylrie moves out, still trying to mentally sort through everything going on.
Walking through the room into the next hallway you can see an open door, some 30 feet away; leading into a large chamber. The light coming from the chamber isn't bright but it is shining enough light for you to see multiple crystal objects. They are oblong and laying on their sides. The few that you can see, seem to be open and hollow in the middle.
The ground underneath your feet rumbles again, more debris falls as the ground quakes.

“Go, Sylrie. We are right behind you. Assess and strike, Greywind!” Kora will follow Sylrie, giving him room and pace to be Stealthy but quick.
This is a fast recon the squad has certainly trained for. Essentially, Sylrie has command of the squad right now, we follow his lead quickly. If he calls a halt, or runs back out of the room, we stop, otherwise we follow him in to the room ready for anything.
As Sylrie enters the room, the vibrating intensifies, inside this large room are multiple crystal chambers, most are closed and glowing. Dark shapes can be seen within them. There are eighteen (18) in total, with a handful that seems to be "open". ((About 8 seemed open across the room, as they are about ten (10) feet apart, in a checkerboard formation.))
A slight humming can be heard in this room, coming from the closed chambers.

Sylrie looked at the Crystal Chambers quizzically, "What are these..." he mumbled under his breath, "...and what is inside of them" he moved forward and tried to get a better look.

Kora piles into the room with the rest of the group, as Sylrie didn't call them off. She looks the room over, then, "Kash, Percival, help Sylrie see if you can make heads or tails of these things."
OOC > I've gotten lost on the map, is there another door at the other end of this room? If yes, Kora will approach it and open it quietly to look out.

There seem to be bodies inside the crystal chamber, you can see the dark shapes of legs and arms, heads even. But what kind of creatures they seem to be vary by shape and size. Another earthquake rumbles, Dex saves from everyone in the dungeon.

Sylrie nods, somehow being given instruction felt good, order restored. He took the lead heading the direction that the inspired had gone.
