<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: impact;">"Oh, so you like learning, eh?"</span>Removing the piece of parchment, Wendy re-fastened the belt back around the Tomb Mote's waist, then read its contents aloud.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: impact;">"Ah, it sounds like the lich Acererak left behind a clue for anyone who was able to defeat his monster.  Apparently, if we go back into the room it was in and give it a thorough searching, we might find something.  Maybe another clue...  Or a trap."</span><br/><br/>Of course, that left a few other things to think about...<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: impact;">"Oh!  And we found this scroll earlier.  Would you like to hear it, too?"</span>Removing the scroll Cassia had found from that wall holder, the halfling read it aloud again, as well, this time translating it into Abyssal.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: impact;">"Go back to the tormentor or through the arch, and the second great hall you’ll discover.<br/>Shun green if you can, but night’s good color is for those of great valor.<br/>If shades of red stand for blood the wise will not need sacrifice aught but a loop of magical metal—you’re well along your march.<br/>Two pits along the way will be found to lead to a fortuitous fall, so check the wall.<br/>These keys and those are most important of all, and beware of trembling hands and what will maul.<br/>If you find the false you find the true and into the columned hall you’ll come, and there the throne that’s key and keyed.<br/>The iron men of visage grim do more than meets the viewer’s eye.<br/>You’ve left and left and found my Tomb and now your soul will die.<br/><br/>"What do you think?  We know that the phrase 'go back to the tormentor' means that there was a secret door hidden behind that part of the wall over there that we knocked out, and I'm starting to think 'shun green if you can' means to avoid the green devil head on the wall over there.  If you get sucked into into its mouth, all your things get taken from you and you get spit out naked somewhere else, so make sure to not get too close to it, alright?"</span><br/><br/>=====<br/><br/>Well, that was certainly a sudden arrival.  From what Wendy could tell, Jin was still sleeping, Cassia was... probably also still resting from all the rough treatment the gargoyle had put her through, and she was the one currently on watch.  Which meant she was the only one who saw the two naked women both make their entrances...<br/><br/>"Treats!"  Of course, her loud cry of recognition probably woke the rest of the party up.  Rushing forward, she gave the dwarf a hug.  "Welcome back!  We had a really tough time without you.  We lost the cleric, and there was this big four-armed monster that raped Cassia, and I made a new friend!"
