Actions:
Gerard: Move 1 tile S
Tiruin: Move 4 North; 2 NorthEast
Worldmaster: Pass
Darkpaladin: Move 1 northwest, then 1 southwest.
Adwarf: Move 1 Tile south, explore the temple.
Adwarf heads south, exploring the area around the Temple to Armok, observing and slowly closing in. There's obviously been damage, over the years - rockslides seem to be common in this area, and it looks like the crumbling temple combined with the unstable mountains has lead to rubble blocking off most of the entrances. You estimate it will take 10 turns holding the temple to clear it and make it defensible as a secure point from which to operate. You do manage to find an entrance that isn't blocked off, and a hallway that heads down it. Most of the doorways branching off the narrow corridor are blocked by rubble or heavily secured, but the hallway itself eventually opens into a large, circular room. In it stand three pedestals, holding up cages, and inside the cages are wondrous items - you can almost feel the magical energy sparking off of them. Atop the cages are chains, tight, ascending into the darkness that obscures the rooms ceiling, and on the base of each pedestal is a lever. Written on the floor, in faded red scrawl, is the following words:
A single choice made
By the one who serves the future king
Treasures kept, as promised,
Awaiting his return
Pull one lever, and one lever alone
And claim your destiny
Looking through the bars of the cages, you examine the items being displayed. Behind the first cage is a flaming sword, held aloft. Fire dances, impossibly, along it's blade, lighting up the room nearby.
Next, a irridescent armor, made of some mythical scale, reflecting the light of the burning sword in a rainbow of colors.
Finally, a book rest under the third cage. Large, and old, it's pages yellowed under it's leathery cover, an eye bulges from the front... an eye that moves, darting about the room to see that which can be seen.
