Varsarious keeps running, heedless of her wound. Moving at a slower speed, the man in black is gaining... but not enough to matter for the seventh second. He closes in, dropping the distance to 13 yards... but the next three bullets wiz past without striking. The man holsters the pistol on the ninth second, coming to 10 yards away... and draws a new pistol for the last second... two more bullets are coming for Vasarrious, and then She'll be a creature of air.

Its a long walk in the dark. The caves are ancient, and the main routes are well paved. The front areas are touristy, but once in the restricted area, everything is spartan. A lot of development was done here, though. The Area Halcyone wants to visit is blocked by a large metal gate and a lock.

I'll retroactively remember to bring a flashlight or something similar.

After a few more bends in the cave, Halcyone sees peices of what looks like a small temple, looking a great deal like the temples at the imperial tomb that Halcyone saw pictures of during research for the mission. There does not seem to be any power associated with the installation, just an ancient and stately building. It seems to have been kept clean until comparatively recently.

Nothing is written or drawn on the outside of the temple. Its inside contains a message, and an Image. "Here lies a sacred temple of Maximus. Tresspass not. If ye be not a priest, tresspass not. If ye be a priest, trespass not. Approach not, unless ye be commanded." A small glowing translucent hologram begins to appear in front of Halcyone, in the image of the emperor. 10 damage to the torso. Make a HT roll to stay conscious... Vassarious does turn into mist to flee... but at below 0 hit points...

"I'm Halcyone. Some splinter of the Emperor said to come here, that he's been betrayed by the priests who keep his body. He said I could fix this somewhere in these caves." So I guess if Vassarious passes out they're going to hoover them up? |
