Almost as if it was intended for any visitor of the room to do just so. The two neat rows of five display cases per row were, after all, the centerpiece of the room.<br/><br/>Both Bert and Taruviel lock on to a display case and draw back the thick, velvet, purple drapes away from the glass to discover the contents of each case.<br/><br/>A shrill scream emanates almost immediately from Bert's case, staggering the group with it's piercing, grating quality. A wave of images crashes within the group's minds, sickening and disturbing. Of a wax-like creature constantly melting under the heat of an invisible source. And constantly reforming itself up through unknown power. A huge, gaping eye swimming within the waxy blob. As the swirrling patterns of wax form and reform you can almost swear you notice another form within the blob of wax, but the scream is so overwhelming, you can't focus enough on it to make it out with certainty.<br/><br/><strong>"As if the <em>gentlemen</em> insult was not enough, now you dare disturb a lady's sleep as well!"</strong>Reprieve comes from the piercing scream as an ominous whisper fills the room.<br/><br/><strong>"Oh, cut the theatrics, you deranged drama queen."</strong>An imperious voice interjects from the display case Taruviel had revealed.<strong>"You're a bloody rapier!"</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Stuff it, branch, I can be both!"</strong>The rapier whispered back.<strong>"That redhead bitch insulted me and this... this.. this lout had the audacity to ogle me in my maidenly sleep."</strong><br/><br/>At this a loud, hysteric cackle can be heard emanating from one case over to the right of the one Bert revealed.<br/><br/><strong>"Maid... <em>cackle</em>... you... <em>cackle</em>... maid... <em>cough</em> <em>cackle</em>... a maiden..."</strong>The derisive voice finally exploded into an uncontrollable, maniacal laughter.<br/><br/>Dazed and stunned by the scream and the disturbing images of the waxy being, the croup is left to stare at the incredible scene unfolding.<br/><br/>Displayed properly in the case Bert had revealed, is, indeed, an exquisite rapier. It's blade a silken, spider web weave. It's handle, an intricate onyx tangle of lines. Topped off with a ruby pommel in the shape of a spider.<br/><br/>And on the opposite end, the case revealed by Taruviel, contained a black staff with intricate silvered rune carvings, finished off with a stylized hawk's head.<br/><br/><hr/>OOC<br/><br/>I'm gonna need you all to roll me a Con Save DC 15. On a failed save your ears are ringing and you can't focus well on the task at hand. Disadvantage on your next skill check.<br/><br/>You can make either Religion or History, if you want to try and suss out that mystery form. Since this check would be happening simultaneously to the Con Save, it won't be affected by the disadvantage, should you fail your Con Save. So a regular roll. Fair warning, the DC for this is high XD
