Tessa is impressed by the longship assembly by a bunch of assuredly non-sailing Kobolds. She also avoids the coinage. It has no draw for the likes of her.

Now the squid is another matter. She moves closer to observe it and notes any battle scars under the ice.

Investigation: 21

"Agreed," Naivara says, eyeing the gold with suspicion. "Let's just keeping following the pull."

Latrius weighs tossing a rock into the chest in his mind, but decides against it and follows the others.

Kierro eyes the monstrous creatures entombed here warily before continuing with the group, stopping only to make sure no one is left behind or touches the treasure.

Kierro sees Walter move towards the treasure, but the rogue gives a glance around and, seeing Kierro watching him, moves away from it again.

Tessa, you would notice the same sorts of damage to the giant squid as the giants in the room above had, the claws and teeth of another large creature had ripped into them.

Continuing the downward spiral, you pass through another large chamber, this one empty, clearly meant for more of the same trophies as you saw in the above two chambers, but empty for now.

As you pass on from that chamber you come to a t intersection.  The new passage continues downward to the South, and rises upwards to the North.

Kierro points to the downward south passage as the group continues to head lower toward their stuff.

"Am I the only one who feels like we're just moving in circles?" Naivara half jokes, not enjoying the unfamiliar terrain.

Kyrian frowns "As far as I can tell, we have been walking straight. All of our turns have been right angles, definitely not circles. Is this some dragon magic you are talking about? Is this monster messing with our minds?" 

"...I was just making a joke," Naivara says, a little embarrassed that it fell flat.

Tessa continues to follow along with the others following the downward passage deeper into the dragon's lair and towards their missing pieces of themselves.

Kyrian looks confused, then embarrassed "...Ah....I see. Right on then" He continues walking staring straight ahead for a while "Where I grew up, we didn't tell jokes. Laughing was forbidden. But even with my limited knowledge I can tell that your's was a good one. Your joke that is. The one abou-" He stops, realizing he is just digging himself into a hole, sighs, and falls silent again.

As you continue downward you come to...

This cavernous chamber is filled with drifting mist that shrouds a field of ice pillars rising from floor to ceiling. The muffled silence beyond is broken only by the sound of running water.

Ice pillars and pressure ridges form razor-sharp crags that loom out of the roiling fog. Streams of crackling water, magically flowing even at subzero temperatures, course thickly through the hollows beneath wind-driven, icy snow.

From the entrance, only swirling fog can be seen and only the wind can be heard.

"I'm sick of this fog, it messes with my dark vision." Vilana, still invisible, would push on ahead, the fog leaving a brief gap where she pushes through.

Stealth: 37
Perception: 18

Tessa is quick to follow in Vilana's wake, the roiling vapor briefly marking her passage.

Stealth: 25

Will need stealth checks for anyone else moving quietly.  Remember you have Higgul, and the others, who aren't going to be as stealthy as some of you can be.  I'll roll their stealth once I get the PC stealth all posted.  If you are not using stealth, then please say so.

Honor stealth: 5

Stealth: 15

Vale Stealth: 22

Stealth: 15

Stealth: 31

(Does Vilana have pass without trace running?)

OOC: Nope, but she's still invisible, which I thought, grants a bonus to stealth too. I had included it on all her stealth rolls so far, and DragonDenn hasn't corrected me. But checking the rules, I actually think that was me taken over a house rule or something, since all the rules say is that invisibility means you're heavily obscured to anyone trying to see you, but no clear interactions between invisibility and stealth.)
