The depths of Ice

[Anastasia]

Give me a second UMD check, tortle.

[Yuthirin]

Taking 10 for 59

[Anastasia]

You are warm. You are free of the cold. You can fly! You appear in a fairly simple room, a circle surrounded by pillars. It is dark here, dim, only the fading light of an identical magical circle illuminating the room. A single door ahead leads out of the room.

[Yuthirin]

Tryll floats slowly off the ground. 'That's better. Telepathy only until we know where we are, please. Calleigh can silence you if you're not stealthy.'

[Anastasia]

Can your group actually talk to everyone that way?

[Yuthirin]

Probably not, but Tryll can act as a relay.

[Anastasia]

Okay then.

'That'll have to do,' Debonah agrees, raising a hand and then bringing a finger to her lips. 'Let's go.'

Dana nods with a scowl while Benyen points at the door and then to you, 'Go on, who takes the lead now?'

[Yuthirin]

'OHHH ME!' Calleigh silently waves all of her limbs.

[Anastasia]

"Besides Calleigh," Debonah clarifies, "She shouldn't be in danger when we're here to do that for her."

[Yuthirin]

'SHHH!' Calleigh says, 'No out-loud stuff! See, this is why I'm better at sneaking!'

[Anastasia]

Debonah goes silent, 'The point stands.'

[Yuthirin]

'Nuh uh, I'm flying. Not standing. Also,' Calleigh points behind Debonah, 'We have company.'

[Anastasia]

Everyone turns to look behind Debonah, even Debonah.

No one is there.

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh takes the opportunity to leave the room to go scout, phasing into the walls and making sure to stick to well-lit areas.

[Anastasia]

Ahead is a dark and silent hallway, perhaps 20ft long. About midway a broken skeleton sits, frozen metal mace and armor lying on the ground. The door on the far side is closed.
