The Adventure Begins

[Togot]

As Kria returned to the material realm, she let out a roar akin to that of a jungle car. Baring her fangs and flexing her claws, she took an aggressive stance, looking about for any sign of danger. Being dismissed in such an unexpected manner had given her the impression Skurvin was under attack, and she was eager to defend him, and kill whoever had separated her from her master.

Skurvin smiles happily and gives a light chuckle, delighted to see her back and well. He had feared he would need to spend an hour bringing her back, and the uncomfortable questions that might raise. It was going to be hard enough explaining this already.

"It's all right, my dear, we are quite safe." he says in a soothing voice.

Kria quickly complies, but she glares at Errya.

"Are you going to answer me?" Jasen called to Errya, even more loudly. Rather than pursue her, even though she is apparently a con-woman, he decided to make one final check. He sang three high notes--similar to what he did when trying to find the secret door--and cast Detect Magic. ((If the scroll has an aura, he will concentrate on it.))

Valtyra fished in her bag and pulled out 10 gold coins. She shyly held them out to Jasen. "I know this is far less than what you lost, but its all I have." She felt terrible about this whole mess, and wanted to do whatever she could to help her companion recover from this very disappointing set back.

[Spazztick]

Madantya Mad stands at the southern entrance to the room, and turns back when the commotion starts up. Apparently it seemed that it was a con after all, unless there was something behind the map being magical. For twenty gold pieces, you'd imagine there was some magic involved, but it seemed more likely they were crooks. She unhooked her crossbow from her side, and held it in her hands, though she did not level the sights. She would wait for the others reactions, before moving to assault Errya and her bugbear companions. When Skurvin resummoned Kira, she found her suspicions were correct. She noted the kindness in Valtyra's actions, it was as if she held onto an innocence that Mad had not known in some time. Most would chop it up to a weakness, and allow the man to suffer his loss, but she was willing to break her coin to try and help appease Jasen. If it is just blank... perhaps we'll take the coin back from the man who recommended the map dealer, on our way out of this place... Each person plays a roll in a con, and when we make it back alive, he will have to answer for it... She thinks to herself, watching and standing ready to shoot into action if need be. She may have done some unsavory things in her life, but she did not have to resort to thievery and cons. Mad spits off to the side, and continues to wait.

Even with Jasen's spell, nothing appeared on the "map" and no aura of magic was apparent. It was, indeed, a con. Errya climbed the stairs out of sight.

[statesman88]

Jasen looked angry until Valtyra offered him some gold. Then he smiled. "Keep your gold. I'm the one who bought something from a woman in a cave without bothering to insist on seeing the goods first. But that's very kind of you."

His faith in humanity apparently restored, Jasen gazed at the stairs. "Well, friends, you think we can handle those monsters of hers?" He tightened his grip on his ranseur, stowed the scroll in his pack, and walked back into the room of pillars.

Madantya Mad stares down the path a little loner, and finally turns back to the others. She replies to Jasen's question. "Possibly, but there is that possibility they're expecting it, and an ambush lies in wait... either that or they think we are not foolish enough to try, a bug bear is no joke." And there are two of them... She thinks to herself. "Perhaps there will be a way to regain your coin later, who knows what things of value lay around this place."

[LizziG]

Valtrya slipped the gold back into her bag. She watched Jasen walk back into the pillar room and stopped when Mad spoke. She was inclined to agree with her. There was little she would be able to do in a room protected from magic. "Maybe we can find a way to make her pay later on? It looks like she's not going anywhere..."

[statesman88]

"An ambush does seem likely." Jasen walked around the room and

looked at the pillars thoughtfully. He pulled out some ink and a quill and began trying to make a map of the rooms visited so far, on the blank scroll. "I'm not sure how useful this will be, but it's worth a try."

"Where shall we go next?"

Even as Jasen and the others searched the room, there was nothing else to be found.

[Spazztick]

Madantya "Well, No point and hanging around here... let's head south to certain doom." She says mockingly, though there is the faintest bit of concern locked behind her eyes. "With such a well traveled place, it's best to scare off as many as you're able, to save the best prizes for last... or to protect one's horrible interests they may have." She thinks to herself, and starts walking south. "Last call for objections? Going once..." She continues to walk, heading down the stairs slowly. "Going twice..."

[gunner525]

In the blink of an eye, one of the stone pillars became a silk-draped, beautiful female figure wielding a bastard sword. It let out a ghastly scream and charged for Madantya's retreating back.

((Roll for initiative and give your first round's actions, please.))

[Spazztick]

Madantya Lin Lightbringer The scream caught her attention like nothing else, having her first think the sound of movement was her companions following her. She turns around as quick as she's able, bringing her shield up, preparing for the advancing aggressor. "Damn it." A look of anger crosses her face, as her eyes try to determine just what the shrieking being is. She immediately starts walking the screaming figure with the bastard sword, bringing her falcata out for a swing. She comes down quick with her blade, but already she knows the precision is off.

"What is this--some kind of enchantment?" He asks no one in particular. "I thought we were in an anti-magic field!"

Valtrya's heart nearly burst out of her chest. Her nerves were already on edge and being attacked by a magic pillar certainly wasn't helping matters. Instinctively, she reached out to Jasen and reached for her magic. It was only afterwards that she remembered the anti-magic field.
