Down the stairs, not too terribly far, but still pretty deep into the mountain, and judging by the compass they would not be heading too far ahead to find the other compass.  Holding Aria's hand, Kass followed her ahead, smelling the ozone of the blue dragon-twas likely his home, and with any luck, his<em>horde</em>-and noting the general lack of anything save for clutter.  More artwork, smashed equipment... yep, looks like the dragon she'd shoved her longsword through had squeezed his giant self in here with his giantess 'daughter'.<br/><br/>The artwork held an interesting tale, lines of men being led by hawk-men with whips... a map of the three continents... all telling a tale, but then again, so was Aria.  This was the tomb of a wizard, one who enslaved men and women from Mulhorand and Unther so that they would work and build a giant tomb for whomever was in charge and preparing to die at the time.  Fitting, given what she knew about Mulhorand culture and enslavement, and a shame the wizard's toolkit for postmortem afterlife was demolished by tomb raiders of all sorts.  Then again, all was likely put there by unwilling slaves... so she concluded it wasn't worth being 'sympathetic' about.<br/><br/>It was curious then, how one table stood up, and upon it a map... Kass was interested now, and perhaps if any marks were made upon it, it would help them find the statue, and whomever it was that cast that dreadful spell that tried to ruin her eardrums so.  The shackles and bones likewise seemed recent... and Kass didn't like how that looked one bit.<br/><br/>Then came the cry, even if it was soft; Treasure!  Kass quickly went and caught back up with Aria, marveling in how there was, indeed, a giant heap of gold, though whether it was giant for a dragon she didn't know.  She grinned, and laughed at herself; she'd nearly turned this down to go look for the statue or rest and interrogate the imposter bitch... this gold would be gone quick enough though, especially as she pulled her bag of holding out from her haversack.<br/><br/>"Well, I believe that we have just found our reward for eliminating the dragon and it's child." Kass said, her tone now<em>quite</em>happy "Do me a favor and load this, and both of our haversacks up with as<em>much</em>gold and gems as you can, priority being magical items, then gems, then gold of course.  There was a map and some tombs back in there, and I want to get a look at it and see if, perhaps, it will give us more insight into the statue's location, that spell, and everything else that is going on from here in Mulhorand.  That is, if you don't mind getting to play with all this<em>beautiful</em>gems, of course..."<br/><br/>Okay, since I'll likely need knowledge checks, here are a few just in case, though feel free to substitute them for other rolls as needed ^_^  If it isn't clear, she's checking out the map and tomes for any clues as to who, where, what, and when and all that.<br/><br/>At 2011-01-19 22:22:19, Keelan (uid: 15533) rolls: 1d20a11 Result: 28 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=21924)<br/>At 2011-01-19 22:22:23, Keelan (uid: 15533) rolls: 1d20a11 Result: 27 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=21925)<br/>At 2011-01-19 22:22:34, Keelan (uid: 15533) rolls: 1d20a11 Result: 17 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=21926)
