Vanya smells her egg.
"Smells good! I will keep it for later." Vanya says and follows the others.
Uran sniffs at the suspicious egg as well.
"Yes perhaps we should carry on. "
Uran your perfect gnome nose identifies the smell of apple tart with cinnamon and ... just a hint of raisins.
'white chocolate eh? we'll just hold on to this fer a bit.' Aelden stands behind Gregory, ready for anything coming through the doors.
You see and hear nothing. Wich door do you want to open?`
North, east or the little one in the north east?
Waiting on your decision.
You find a few lockers, 10 in total. 3 are armored.
Gregory moves forward to check-out the lockers.
One locker is bent but you find in the other 4 among rubble and trash 26 silverdisks and three glowing silverdisks. Your sorcerer can feel a current in them.
Gregory turns to the others.
"Where do you want to go next?"
"Th' ones with th' blood mate. Whatever went in there, I don' want it comin' out behind us.'
"Makes sense to me! Lets check it out!", the gnome comments.
"Sounds good to me."
Gregory moves over to open the indicated doors.
You follow a corridor to another set of doors.
Vanya follows behind.
It's like a maze, I hope we are able to find the way back
Gregory opens the next set of doors.
A long table with various unusual stones and dirt samples
heaped on it sits along the southern wall of this room, while to
the north a line of metal desks with glowing panels and buttons
are placed next to a large humming device. The heart of this
device seems to be some sort of flickering sphere of reddishbrown
mud or dirt. Dust covers much of this room, save for a
strangely clean swath between the doors, which leads to the
strange humming device.
Gregory starts searching around the room.
"Stone and dirt samples? What were they doing here?"
You hear a voice. "je suis ou? Donde e estado? Wo zai nar?
On hearing the voices, Aelden hefts his shield and turns toward the sound. "Careful now. Somethings coming."
Around you would you say.
"It appears to be all around us...?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Gregory decides to ignore the voice, and since the room does not appear to have anything else of interest in it, he decides to move on to the next set of doors.
Uran whips about, trying to pinpoint where the voice is coming from.
"Now ain't that something! Seems to be all 'round us!"
An oddity, whatever passes for magic around here, the arcane arts can easily duplicate such a feat. I suggest to pay it no mind if it cannot speak intelligibly to us, we will otherwise waste much time...
she indicates the doors in the corner with her staff
"Sure, Right. What the lass said." Aelden says, with some doubt, then moves to the door she indicates, and opens it.
You hear the voice again. "Where am I? And who are you?
"We are a bunch of people looking for somebody. Who are you?"
Aurora freezes in place now the voice is speaking in common.
You are under the mountain, near a town called Torch, in the nation known as Numeria, upon this world we call Golarion. More than that, I cannot be sure of...
she cocks her head inquisitively
As to us, we are not native to this strange world under the mountain and only venture here to retrieve one of our own who has become lost.
she waits a moment then adds
So that's two answers you owe me now I've given two of my own, so... Where were you the last time you knew where you were? And who are you!?
she punctuates her questions with a rap of the end of her staff on the floor, and tiny sparks of energy flee the shaft as if frightened by the echoing sound.
You hear the voice reply."Um I am... I! I have no name. You stand close to me, can´t you see me? I can feel your heat, smell your blood and hear your voice. And I suddenly understood that I can think, and speak!"
Gregory comes back over, and nudges Aurora.
"Feel you heat? Smell your blood? That does not sound good... Perhaps it would be best to leave well enough alone, and continue on."
"Please, please do not leave. It is sooo lonely here. Tell me about yourself. And ask questions. Yes ask questions. Maybe I know answers."
Deciding that he doesn't want to be around when something bad happens, Gregory looks for the exit.
Uran keeps a wary eye out. The disembodies voice makes his skin crawl, especially the talk of blood!
"Maybe it knows what happened to the light in Torch?" he suggests.
Can you make yourself visible to us? It's difficult trusting something you can't see...and if you don't have a name, do you have a sense of what you are?
"What does see mean. Well, you stand rather close to parts of me. What I am. Um. I think therefor I am. I just know I am a very diffrent life form than you. Yes indeed. You are much faster, like the others. And I think you can not expand, I mean grow and you are more um... voluminous. Yes!"
With that hint please roll Know nature.
"I have no idea what it means with growing and voluminous."
These...others you mention, where are they please? Can you see the doors in this room? Point out which way they went?
Aurora asks hopefully
"What does see.. mean? They came in here followed by metalthings and fought hard. But metal things one. One breather was allowed to live, I think it was called baaayn, and they took it a close to hear. His breathing is low but steady."
"Bane? Bane?" That our man, Bane? where abouts do ya...er...'see' him?"
"I can feel the vibration of his heart. I will tell you. But first you tell me something. Anything is good!"
See? A way of experiencing something with your senses, much as you can feel the vibration of this man's heart. If you will indeed help us by informing us of where he is then we may well share something... hmm...
Aurora thinks for a moment
There are animated skeletons outside this metal shell, in a vast desert filled with sand under a strange bright sky. They are unlike anything I've seen before, four-armed creatures with odd weapons. I wish I had more time to investigate them, but we are searching for Bane. Now, can you lead us to him or tell us where his heart is?
"I know, I know, I could feel them. Please tell me more. Well he is rather close. He is down the empty room. But please tell me more, yes please."
Vanya moves to the northern door, following Gregory. Not knowhing wich empty room the thing means she aks "Am I getting closer to Bane?"
Gregory remains silent, still wary about interacting with a bodiless mineral sample from gods-alone-know-where...
Uran looks around the room, trying to discover where the voice is coming from.
Perception:
"Which way to th' empty room, mate?"
