Chaosforge 4e PBF - IC
Malek Deneith:
Inspection of your immediate surroundings shows no impending threats, other than another snowstorm in making. Falling snow makes it a bit hard to see the detail on the cairn forcing Berak to use his consciousness construct. Through that he manages to inspect it more closely - the cairn is a pillar of solid ice at least forty feet in height. Inside it Berak notices skulls, multitude of them from varying races - some that Berak recognizes, some he does not, and some that are pure oddities like a human skull that is gagged for some reason, or shattered heads of beings that lack skulls like warforged... or shardminds.
Perhaps of more interest might be the fact that near the base of the pillar there is a jagged-edged hole in the ground. By the looks of it, it's a beginning of a tunnel that was once covered by a thick sheet of ice that got broken. Considering the circumstances the "breaking" probably happened very recently even...
slave:
Turning to the others, Berak says
- There is a tunnel near the base of the cairn. I'll go and take a closer look.
He gets off the ship and starts moving towards the cairn until he is close enough that he can move his consciousness fragment over the hole and take a look inside.
Malek Deneith:
As it seemed from further out the hole is an entry point of a tunnel. The walls of the tunnel are partly covered in ice, it looks like there was more of it but it has been slowly melting away. It seems like there might be some sort of chamber further in but it's too dark to tell for sure. What Berak can tell though is that somewhere in the middle of the tunnel he sees the wall turn from natural cave into some sort of man-made walls.
slave:
Berak moves carefully towards the tunnel entry, keeping an eye on the tunnel inside, ready to retreat if anything threatening should appear. Once he reaches the tunnel, he lets his consciousness fragment fade away. The orange gem embedded in his chest starts to glow with dim light. It gradually increases in brightness until the light it emits is bright enough that Berak can see farther into the tunnel.
Malek Deneith:
The light confirms existance of a chamber further inside. Small one, probably once was once some sort of entry room. The way the walls are made looks familiar to Berak... somehow. In the middle of the chamber there seems to be short column, knee high tops. It looks rather unnatural, as if earth was made to rise through the floor to form it. Whatever it is it looks cracked now. Around the "column" Berak can make out some writing carved into the floor.
