"Didn’t you say-"*BOOM*-Mariana
Multiple shards of green stuff shoot across the sand, lighting is all green
Past where the rock was standing has gone from off-orange to burnt umber, it seems like the bomb made the hole successfully
The outstretched hand has lost a finger, it is sinking into the sand
Dorian, Maeve, Mariana, DD and Gelvrever are going close to the room, Lya, Quill, Aster, and Meph are going out farther to stay at range but out of range of blue’s scream
Dorian shouts hello into the room and ghost scream occurs, it incapacitates Dorian
Ghost: why have you returned
Sneaky crew can’t hear what is happening, Meph and Lya are approaching slightly
Dorian recovers *windows start up sound*
Big blue is cursed to be here
He wants us to prove that we aren’t with some person or group that he mentioned
Recap of murals
The first room was the war, big people, people with wings and people with lamia tails, big ones were the enemies, the winged ones seemed like they were allies of the people who made
Hallway was the funeral procession, mainly lamia people
Next hallway was a mural depicting lots of important people and the other wall was a landscape possibly portraying approaching armies
Apparently we threatened to wake one of the worst from his slumber
“This place is a temple to a monster”
The orb is the monster's weapon according to Big Blue
When the crypt was new, Big Blue came to declaw the dead and try to undo loss, they only sealed it, Big Blue’s body lies in the main chamber like everybody elses and yet they still suffer
Mariana has a little illusory duplicate (afterimage) and goes forward
All murals are colored + more detailed and was in better condition until it exploded
Hole in center of next room is opened
The chamber we hadn’t looked at before has a mural of the orb holder where it looks like they are building a new city, it almost looks like its being built over an ocean, almost paving over the ocean
Quill is looking through the hole, he can’t see a bottom, the dancing lights are in the hole, it goes down about 160 ft, it is full of caskets, there is a common depiction of wing imagery
We are taking a short rest, the vehicles are safely inside the first room
We are opening the door, Sun, blank, wave, blank, mountain
Mariana is opening the door, the rest of us are getting cover
The button is pushed and a spilt appears in the door and the two sides swing open almost weightlessly
The room beyond is 35 by 50 (by 30ft high), its kind of a hallway but its a grand hallway, there are six columns and there are four large statues
Every statue has two enormous shields
They are full tower shields, each shield is their height
It is a stone statue of a lamia but gilded in bronze, the back of their heads had the triangle arrow symbol
Another door at the end, not as grand and also not locked. There are handles
We are going to group stealth roll, Lya is leading, lowest roll is 10
A piece twists and whiring is heard in the statues, initiative
All the shield things heft the shields and look directly at Mariana, they are seemingly slithering off their dais’ threateningly
Quill attacks the one nearest to him
Lya is very good at hiding (29)
The two statues duche and close off the way to the new door
Maeve is hit with a shield and knocked prone
Mariana is also hit and prone
two of the shield dudes is dead
Mariana casts a fancy spell and a portal opens up, there is water through it but it looks like water if there was absolutely no light in it
