Deeper into the Catacombs

by Dahlia Di Mare

* The group decided to proceed with caution further into the catacombs with Struth taking the lead. He would scout ahead to warn of any dangers.
 
* I saw Struth trying to push against a wall then moan. He then walked away rubbing his shoulder. I walked up to the wall and searched around to see what he was trying to do. I realised that there was a door so pushed with all my strength and was able to open the door. I did also break the mechanism in the process.
 
* Calling to my party, I waited as they came over then Struth walked into the room. He moved into the room and triggered a trap, just missing the trap going off as he was on it. Part of the floor dropped down to spikes. jutting from the bottom of the hole. I waited for it to reset then jumped over, landing next to Struth. Petros also followed.
 
* Continuing on, we saw many side rooms but nothing really of note. Struth moved off to look into one of the rooms then came back to advise he didn't really find anything. Moving to the other side of the room, we watched on as Struth opened the door after several attempts to unlock it.
 
* Walking into the other room, the room had paintings on the wall of people. The people looked drunk or out of it. One of the paintings had a person holding a vial. It looked similar to the one that Mal had drunk.
 
* We continued on, evading traps as we continued forward until we found a statue at the end of a corridor. The statue was of a strange creature with an umbilical cord around its neck. Looked to be Egog.
 
* While the party stood there, deciding what to do, I walked up to the statue and pulled out my dagger. Poking the eye of the statue, a bright light enveloped me then I was teleported elsewhere. Hearing the chitter of the creature we encountered earlier, I hid behind the altar.
 
* Moments later, Struth appeared and I told him to hide and he said that the creatures were coming from another direction and then darted across the room to hide.
