CH. 02 - Shaevryn's Tomb

[Daos]

Kendrivel moves on to the next alcove.  The golden vessel there begins to glow brighter as he approaches.  Just as he is close enough to touch it, the jar suddenly vanishes into thin air!

[GreyWolfVT]

Drezden grows interested in what is happening and watches K-Man to see what is going on.

[Rax]

Malavar moves on to the next unexplored alcove (E).

[Daos]

Malavar moves to the next alcove.  Upon approaching the jar, a burst of golden energy leaps from the pot, flies around the room, and strikes each of the other pots in turn (it seems to hit nothing at all in the alcove next to Kendrivel).  The light is then sucked back into its original container, and with a resounding thud, the magic inside.

Moments later, a dark cloud forms over Malavar's head, and a light rain begins to fall on him directly, soaking him to the bone.  When he moves, the cloud follows, always staying just above his head.

[Rax]

"Hilarious," Malavar says drily. "It seems Shraevyn had a child's sense of humour. Perhaps someone else would consider trying the next alcove?"

[TristenC]

Kendrivel claps excitedly. Wow, a fire-show and now a disappearing act! I wanna see em all! He pokes the air near where the vanished one was to see if it is merely invisible. Then he runs to the alcove beside the soggy Malavar, giggling uncontrollably.

hahahaha, i see what you did there

[Daos]

When Kendrivel pokes the air where the jar used to be, he does indeed feel something solid there.  It would appear the jug still sits in the same place, but is now invisible.

Thanks, I'll be here all week.

Coooool! It's really invisible it isn't just gone! he will investigate the unvisited Alcove next to the dripping cleric, splashing in any nearby puddles along the way.

[Daos]

Kendrivel moves to the next alcove (G, I think?) and inspects the jar there.  The golden surface of the container moves and jumps, and the kender gazes upon an intricately crafted weapon. Runes of power are etched across the steel blade, and the whole sword glows with a flaring azure radiance.

The image begins to move. Slowly, it pans from the tip of the blade downward, and K-man can see every detail of the blade's superior workmanship.  When it gets to the hilt of the sword, the image shows what appears to be a piece of paper tied to the weapon with common string.

After a few more moments, the image goes black.

[TristenC]

K-man steps back and re-approaches. He tries to snatch the illusory(?) marvel, and, failing that, tries to see if anything is written on the tag

[Daos]

When Kendrivel reaches for the sword, his hand just presses up against the jar.  It's just an image, like the jar was some kind of scrying orb.  As for the paper, there does appear to be writing on it, but it's folded so the kender can't get a good look at it.  He would need to physically pick up the note and unfold it.

[GreyWolfVT]

Drezden moves on to see what Malavar is doing.

[TristenC]

Kendrivel opens the jar

[Daos]

Drezden approaches Malavar, who is still being drenched by the little rain cloud.  A puddle is beginning to form at his feet.

Meanwhile, Kendrivel tries to open the pot with the sword image on it.  However, it holds fast.  It seems sealed on tight and no matter how much he tugs, it won't open.
