Foray 1: The Descent Begins.

[Hywaywolf]

Gemshort sniffs the walls and licks the rock. He'll let the hairs on his arm and the smoke from the torch tell him which way the air is moving. He sniffs the air wondering if anything has been this way recently.

[Blazeguard]

Jaq muses, "Human-made, eh? Oh well."
"Hey! Wait for me!" he calls and hurries after the others.
Rushing into the hallway he's distracted by the murals. "Oh, pretty pictures. Hey bring that torch back here."

[MedievalMan]

Walking through the room you now see that both the walls, ceiling, and the floor are all covered in a series of tile mosaics. Many are damaged beyond recognition and others are covered with decades (perhaps centuries) worth of graffiti. Images that stand out to you include; images of the gods and goddesses with their eyes chipped out, a vast herd of horses running through a field, over which is written "Cardefal died here pulling on a lever. Beware!!"; underwater scenes featuring half-human half-fish creatures fighting fishmen and sharks, with vulgar graffiti adding certain anatomical details; and a scene depicting a halfling, a dwarf and to humans descending a set of familiar spiral stairs. On each wall in front of you and to your left and right a hallway leads away in the darkness.

[Woe]

"Hmpf. That last scene is too close to home."

Looking farther into the darkness, can H. see anything within the next 60'?

[Hywaywolf]

sniffs the air. I smell nothing

[MedievalMan]

Within the range of your vision you can see the entire chamber and several feet out into corridors that branch off from the wall ahead of you, to your left, and to your right.

[Woe]

Seems safe enough Hrothgar says. He continues into the chamber. Anyone care which way we go? Assuming no one cares, Hrothgar will continue straight ahead.

[Hywaywolf]

gemsnort follows along, eyeing the murals fearfully.

[Blazeguard]

Jaq follows along, short sword and shield at the ready.

[Nightwulf]

Gladevar lowers the hood on his cloak to free his peripheral vision.As he walks in the center of the group providing the light.He readys his sword for quick use if needed.

[MedievalMan]

((Alright before we get into the meat of things I want to know if anyone is mapping))

[Woe]

Not Hrothgar. He knows his way around inside a dunjon.
