Chara & Shad (Elmo goes with this group)

 

You come upon the first door. There are no sounds behind it but what catches your eye is the wood of the door is out of place in this setting. It appears to be new, along with the hinges are new & look well maintained. If you check either door, they are both locked.

 

Isha, Tiron (Cory is with this group)

 

You make your way to the corridor. Taking a peak down the hall you see nothing & hear nothing.

 

Also who has light sources?

So now it's Shad carrying a torch for Chara?

 

In the dim flickering light Isha will look around very cautiously, realizing that the light and noise from the group entering has probably alerted any residents of the room, large or small. (It's mostly small poisonous ones she's worried about).

Isha continues to look around the room from her spot along the south wall, talking quietly to herself as she does. "This room appears abandoned, yet the locks would indicate otherwise. And we'll need to look down that hallway also, won't do to leave someone or something in the dark behind us. What use could this place be? And is it the old cult still, or some new followers building on their reputation?"

Chara shrugs at Isha's musing. "When you live in a big place like this, some rooms gonna get run-down. Some rooms gonna sure get real run-down when you got an ogre living with you. The locks is to keep the whole place from getting ogry." Chara says the word 'ogry' with the sort of tone and expression that should lead everyone around her to think she speaks from personal experience.

Tiron

 

You step up to the door & using your lockpicks you fail miserably in your attempt to open the door. There is anther door (South), which is in the same shape as the North door.

 

Isha

 

In the dim light of the torch (it barely reaches down the corridor) you think you see movement.

 

Cory

 

He doesn't like the light situation, being human in all. He slings his shield over his shoulder & gets a torch of his own out. Successfully lighting it, he shines it down the corridor.

 

What everyone not at the doors sees are carved pillars of stone down the middle (there are pillars in the middle of the big room as well). What Isha thought as movement is actually something. It appears to be human but it's clothes are disheveled & are almost rags. It's skin, what's left is very pale & grey. It's eyes are red, a very deep red that seem to glare up in the torchlight. It gives the party a blank stare as it stands at the end of the corridor.

Isha is pondering whether an empty room is truly empty if it has been left that way on purpose, to be an unoccupied space, in contrast with rooms that are filled with objects and have occupational uses.

 

The dim shuffling not-human at the end of the corridor comes into focus. Seeing that the room is occupied she realizes that it does have a purpose other than being a space unto itself, and that the creature it houses is a part of that. As Cory holds his torch up to view the thing she says "Some things are not better in the light."
