Around the corner the scout saw something she'd hoped not see. Taking a step back into the room with the others, Valthjofr's words slapped Yngvildr. "I...You can't...fine," was all she could muster in frustration. Her cheeks flared red in the torchlight. The young woman could feel the heat in her face. "I was...I'm not..." she stammered. "I was their slave, nothing more. But if the gods will it, I will heed your words..." After getting a grip she added, "I think the dead lead us. I saw two more Reapers just now. They disappeared from sight as quickly as I saw them."

Yngvildr moves swiftly toward the other passage that leads out of the other side of the chamber and catches a glimpse of... something. As best as she can make out, two figures dressed in ragged clothing quickly moved out of sight as she approached. Meanwhile, the man looks around, wild-eyed rambling on in the tongue of the Southlanders as Ozemur prepares another torch before the other one finally goes out. As if on cue, the stranger's voice trails off, disappearing into the darkness. A new torch flares up in Ozemur's hand, casting flickering shadows across the burial chamber. OOC Another burial mound chamber. This one has an exit on the far side and someone is cowering where the purple dot is.

"Fine, but you will defend him when the time comes," Yngvildr said coldly about the prisoner. "But check his wrist, something silver he covets," she added with a point of her sword. Then the scrapping sound came and took her attention. Quickly she spun on her heels and moved north to listen around the corner.

Posted. You can just light one! There are several makeshift torches as well as good ones in the group's possession.

vedas man shakes a moment then starts to cry. He takes the waterskin and drinks deeply before dropping it to the ground. He then starts mumbling over and over in the Southlander tongue, his eyes occasionally fixing on the the shiny tip of the Lady's spear. He rocks back and forth, hugging himself tightly. The torch flickers and sputters again, burning down low, close to Ozemur's hand. The skald is sure it we'll be out in mere minutes.

Hey everyone, just letting you know that this week, between Wednesday and Sunday afternoon, I will likely be completely offline. In addition to the 3 concerts I'm going to (one of which is an out of town anniversary trip) I'll be doing multiple after-hours work functions as well. Please continue to talk and plan amongst yourselves and I will try to check in if possible. I will be able to check in and post tonight and tomorrow though.

We still need a new torch!

The figure looks as if he is trying to squeeze himself further into the corner he is in. He lets out a little yelp as Ozemur speaks to him. Slowly, he turns his head, peeking out of the corner of his eye. He has the face of a Southlander, though it is covered with blood and grime. He reaches out defensively with his left arm, revealing a nasty, bloody stump where his left hand used to be. He utters a string of words in the Southlander language, still quivering and shaking. His words, at first are clearly spoken in fear, but the last things he says have a more questioning tone to them. When he finishes speaking, his eyes change from a look of terror to one of confusion.

Immediately upon entering this chamber, Yngvildr sees two things of interest. First, across the room, another tunnel leads out, angling down and away from the burial chamber. Second, crouched in a ball, a figure huddles against the far wall, pressed up against the wall and one of the hull beams that support the ceiling in the chamber. The figure shakes and shivers, as if it were very cold or scared. As the group makes their way into the chamber, Ozemur's torch sputters and crackles a bit. OOC Another burial mound chamber.

Yes. I absolutely see this aspect of the module not being the best for PbP. It went much quicker in the live game play.

A heavy sigh of frustration escaped the scout's mouth. She moved ahead up the ramp and into the room proper to see if there was anything that would catch her attention. If nothing immediately seemed as such, she'd merely turn around and go back.

I finally got my car road-legal today as well as gave it a clean and fixed my mirror that fell off. It's been a tiring day but that should be a stress off my mind moving forward (this has been an ~4 year problem). I'll see about getting a post up. I will say that the back and forth of "I look here" "there's nothing there" "Okay look over there" "still nothing" is getting a bit stale IMO. This is why certain game design is better than others. I'd rather just be railroaded to an interesting part if I'm honest, instead of having the freedom to muck about and find nothing 7 times in a row (exaggerating). Just thinking out loud here, not pointing fingers.

You could definitely move past each other. It might be a tight squeeze but you can move past

We can not simply walk past each other, right? It's a narrow tunnel. But if there is curiosity about the room ahead and Yngilvidr is not willing to go first, Ozemur is all for squeezing past her and checking it out before we return to the crossection.

and just to be clear, there is another room ahead, though nothing in it has been seen yet since it has not been approached, Yngilvidr can just see up into the room from the tunnel that is at a lower elevation. Someone one will have to actually go up into the room to see what is there and to see if there are any other ways out of the room. the 2 figures did come this way and could have very well continued on into parts of the room that cannot currently be seen or moved on beyond through exits from the room that are also not yet seen. it is by no way a confirmed dead end or empty room yet...

Valthjofr is still here, muttering creepily and looking for signs from the Gods.

I'm still here, just waiting to see which direction you all explore next.

Falki is still here: just keeping an eye to the rear-guard.

I've had a heck of a week and still have plans this evening so have been spending the AM catching up on all my PbP stuff. Hope everyone's good! It's been 6 days since any posts here. Hoping me getting a post up can help keep da dream alive.
