Dusting himself off as he stands, Niachi observes 'Muiko's ritual with the same respect.
"Could these pointy skulls be silt runners or gith? Enough material here for -not a full bone golem but a smaller construct like they do in Draj. And- Speaking of money, Atillius! I would bet on you in the arena, but you're done with all that mess, yah?"
Pointing a yellowish-grey non-human fingerbone at the tunnels:
Speaking Elven aloud to his familiar, then translating to common:
<"KawRawk: please join Chat'cho and protect her.">
To their half-giant artist/psion:
"Ah, is it better to return Scrye to normal and Reducing Atil? for in there? Or better to keep them as they are? Sorry, babbling. I know someone who knows someone who might be a promising Necromancer. Who might pay interestingly for some of these remains."

"Returning Scrye to her typical size is simple, as is reducing Attilius' size, though I am not sure that he'd appreciate the results and it would last until I changed him back, tomorrow at the earliest" 'Muiko replies to Niachi as he is sketching the tall fae beastie from the cremains before him.

"For the tunnels. What other options? I'd like to move soonish as I hear no trace of Chat."

"...And- Speaking of money, Atillius! I would bet on you in the arena, but you're done with all that mess, yah?" The half giant stands his full height and stretches his lower back with a loud groan. He tosses a tiny looking skull back into the pile, or is it a normal sized skull in a giant's hand? "Aye, no secret trap doors or salvagable metal to be found." he says disheartenedly "...I know someone who knows someone who might be a promising Necromancer. Who might pay interestingly for some of these remains." With a solemn nod "I could use the coin. Pack whichever ones you think will fetch the best price and I'll haul it out of here when it's time." the Murmillo says. "Returning Scrye to her typical size is simple, as is reducing Attilius' size, though I am not sure that he'd appreciate the results ..." he says with some seriousness as he secures his massive tower shield back on his left forearm. |

There are all sorts of skulls from most of the intelligent humanoids, as well as a few older, charred tall & thin cremains. They have sloped, thin skulls with wicked sharp teeth and have sharp claws and toes (when you're able to find a skull still attached to the body that is. There seem to be a lot of smaller bones that may or may not be of halfling or dwarf stock. Some of these just don't look right.
Quila will do her best to collect some distinct 'individuals'. Some of the sloped, thin skulls of the older, charred tall & thin remains. And also of the smaller bones that look like halfling or dwarf stock that simply don't look right. She has some ideas regarding them. Based on the imagery of trolls so far can Quila conclude or infer that the sloped, thin skulls with the sharpies are actually troll remains? That would mean that the smaller bones are either of an entirely different race, or of troll children, which somehow is far more gruesome to think about. Is there something in these smaller bones to link them to the ones Quila infers as being trolls? Same sort of slope or thinness in the skull, or some start of sharper teeth, claws and toes?

"If you are not reduced in size, you will have to stay behind while we catch up with Chat and STOP HER from running off alone. I'm asking for other ideas."
He waits for a reply from his familiar.

[Elven: "I can reduce you and polymorph myself into a halfling? We could go help the bug together then? Though, I am not sure how much help I can be."] 'Muiko says to Niachi

It is at this moment that everyone, except Chat's weapon's and armor return to normal - as well as the tari's height. [Enough time has passed. Tell me if anything that was cast that requires 25 rounds or less duration passes.]
Chat requires more time as she passed the hall an additional time.
The thri-kreen reaches a small doorway after passing the worn stairs. There is a notch where she can pull it in if she so wishes to do so.
The xerichou happily follows after the druid and shows up as she ponders the portal before her.

Chat'cho will send the Water Elemental under the door, then push it open from the other side before following it through.

And she finds herself eye level with the hideous stone statue she had seen once before (You are about 6 feet off the ground.) To the far end the obsidian statue stands and the room still holds columns, mosaics and the like. The bronze double doors are to your far right and the paintings on the walls are still disturbing. The water elemental stands below awaiting your command.

"Wait...what?" Chat'cho blinks, taking a moment to look around. "This tunnel connects to the...the statue roomm? Interesting. This mmay *e relexhant later."
She'll turn around, LEAVING the door open, heading past the warded chest she doesn't dare touch and takes the right path at the fork this time, keeping the water elemental ahead of her.

Atillius said:
"Chat'cho was gone longer than this before. Is she in trouble NOW?" he asks
Niachi shrugs. Of the spells he cast for the Sand thing battle, only Enchant Weapon on Atillius's gouge would still be active. Duration: 40 rounds.
"Unknown. I am not OK with splitting up more than we are now, that's all. Reducing your size keeps us together. Staying as you are forces up to split up.
As long as we stay here, let's at least stay on guard for more of those vile worm things."
He draws his sword and stands as close as he can to the wall to the right of the right-side tunnel to hack anything that emerges. See map in chat.

"Your familiar is with the druid right? I say we wait and not split up further. Seeing what we can run into here I think that's very unwise. Chat'cho will come back to this room, either with something bad on her tail, or with a discovery."

The half giant simply nods and grunts his agreement to Niachi then takes overwatch in the torture room area
