Despite having only one hand, Dusty uses his newly acquired gauntlets to topple the rock. It lands with a loud slam, revealing a hidden staircase leading down below.
The adventures make their way cautiously down the steps, coming up behind a Will-o'-Wisp that they presumably saw earlier.
"Wh-wh-wh-woah!" says the wisp, splitting into pieces as balls of light spread throughout the cavern. It looks to the adventurers and says, "Oh, look what has happened now...could you gather the wisps and bring them back to me? Maybe I can give you something back in return if you do..."
The adventurers notice that they have landed in a central room, with hallways leading in four directions.
The adventurers may pursue one of them at a time in any order: north, east, south, west.
Nimue looks at the pile of bones and says "Well don't look at me... I'm not digging through that..." she turns to the creature and asks "Is your body in that pile of bones there?"
"No, no...My body is....Hmm? Where is my body? I don't remember..." replies the wisp.

While the party is in conversation, Dusty suddenly falls through a pit trap in the ground! He will take 6 bludgeoning damage and 14 piercing damage for a total of 20 damage if he does not roll a successful athletics check.
The pit is 5 feet wide, 10 feet deep, and dug out of the earth. Rows of rusty swords are embedded into the floor of each pit, whose tops are covered by rotted wooden planks hidden under a thin layer of earth.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"I guess we need to keep a better eye out for traps delving into old tombs like this." Leovold will try to keep his eyes peeled as they advance and have his echo walk in front of them about 15 feet.
The wisp hovering above the bones reunites with the friendly wisp. "This horse served us loyally in battle....but when was that again? Why am I suddenly remembering this? ...Hey, let's continue finding the rest of the wisps, please..."
The skeletal horse is willing to bond with a new master.
Nimue will approach the skeletal horse and say "Well look who has returned from the shadows... Why don't you serve me and the raven queen on your new chance in the world."
Leovold's echo falls into a pit trap and disintegrates in a puff of smoke! The party makes their way around the trap, finding themselves in a room with four sarcophagi.
The wisp floating above the sarcophagi flies back into the friendly wisp. "We were warriors.....great warriors who fought against....??? Are you going to peek inside those...?"
The wisp flies around the sarcophagi. "Names....? I don't think there are any....yes....great warriors that fought against a dragon....what was my name again? Ahh....ahhhhhhh!!! My head hurts....wait. Head....? Where is my head? My body!?"

Nimue looks to the group and says "Well don't look at me! I am not going first... Although regardless where I am creatures always find a way to me..."
Nimue suggests going South if nobody else has a preference (Ooc just to move it along)
surprised to see such a friendly spirit in this burrow, krash addresses the wisp, lowering himself eye lvl with the creature,
”are you the protector of this grave?”
" I'm fine with going south first. We will probably need to get to all the corners eventually. Might as well start there.
The wisp responds to Krash. "Protector? No, no...I have just been wandering around here for...Oh my. How long has it been? I don't know..."
The party slowly makes their way down the dark hallway, eventually seeing a pile on bones in the room ahead. A wisp floats above the pile.
Nimue looks at the pile of bones and says "Well don't look at me... I'm not digging through that..." she turns to the creature and asks "Is your body in that pile of bones there?"

“Dusty!”
krash grabs his extendible pole and jumps into action. he lowers the 10foot pole into the pit for dusty to climb out
Athletics: 9
Dusty screams out in pain and quickly grabs to pole Krash offers.
"I guess we need to keep a better eye out for traps delving into old tombs like this." Leovold will try to keep his eyes peeled as they advance and have his echo walk in front of them about 15 feet.
Perception 19
A damaged Dusty climbs out of the pit with Krash's help. They party continues forward, surely now more on alert of the hidden dangers inside.
The pile of bones suddenly rises, revealing a skeletal warhorse.

The wisp hovering above the bones reunites with the friendly wisp. "This horse served us loyally in battle....but when was that again? Why am I suddenly remembering this? ...Hey, let's continue finding the rest of the wisps, please..."

There is nothing more of interest in this room.
Nimue will approach the skeletal horse and say "Well look who has returned from the shadows... Why don't you serve me and the raven queen on your new chance in the world."
" Nimue is getting quite the collection of dread themed minions and items isn't she."
See they have finished exploring the South chamber. Leovold will begin moving towards the west chamber. " I suppose we might check the west side now."
Leovold's echo falls into a pit trap and disintegrates in a puff of smoke! The party makes their way around the trap, finding themselves in a room with four sarcophagi.
A lone wisp floats above the graves.
" I thought there was only one warrior buried here?" He looks to the wisp. " What was your name?"
The wisp floating above the sarcophagi flies back into the friendly wisp. "We were warriors.....great warriors who fought against....??? Are you going to peek inside those...?"
" I might read the names. We have come here looking for how a powerful warrior defeated a dragon in the past. Would I find that by looking at these?"
The wisp flies around the sarcophagi. "Names....? I don't think there are any....yes....great warriors that fought against a dragon....what was my name again? Ahh....ahhhhhhh!!! My head hurts....wait. Head....? Where is my head? My body!?"
The wisp flies around frantically.
" Oh, I am sorry. Worry not. We will find the rest of you."
