Dne’s head abruptly twitches from one side to another as he struggles to make sense of the conversation.  It doesn’t help that there are cats around… he doesn’t necessarily fear them, but their presence is never pleasant for a bird.

In reply to Bratu Grimboodle (msg # 786):

Brunhilda originally appeared to be wearing a patchwork fur coat, but was actually covered with cats.
They had fled when the Shoggoth showed up, and apparently had made their way up here.
They also seem to be indifferent to Tommy's meowing.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 788):

Tommy sighs and stops, going back to scouting.

"I guess they don't want to talk. I will find out myself..."

"Thanks for trying," says Bratu with a nod.

In reply to Bratu Grimboodle (msg # 790):

eventually you all move across the ladders until the sounds of the chanting ooze start to fade.
Much like the pattern of the Goblins' attire, the walls, ceiling and floor are painted in a zigzag pattern, only it seems to move.

"This color scheme is going to have me wanting some ginger root tea, like my mother used to make when I was queasy..."

Tommy will kepp looking at the route, trying to keep safe from below...

Dne stares at the pattern, trying to figure out if the apparent motion is just an illusion or not.

Bratu, crushed shoulder still aching, moves along with the crowd.

Jendrich uses one of the walls as support, trying not to stare at the dizzying paint.

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 794):

You make your way deeper into these jarringly painted quarters, until you reach an area with a set of spiral stairs down, well away from where the
chromatic ooze was seen.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 797):

Tommy continues to scout ahead, going down the stairs.

Dne checks behind the party, making sure nothing is sneaking up on them.

"Further down?  Maybe it'll go below the Master's spaces."

In reply to Virgilio Hohlfeld (msg # 800):

It may lead only to the level of the entrance to this area... or not

In reply to Narrator (msg # 801):

Tommy is going to try to find out...

In reply to Tommy (msg # 802):

Heading below, Tommy cannot see the zigzag paint  without some light.  The air is not great and there is a smell of something long dead, and a slapping and creaking sound, like bare feet on a treadmill.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 803):

Tommies night vision is good  but not that good. He gets out his beeswax candle and lights it, before continuing on...slowly.

In reply to Tommy (msg # 804):

Brunhilda lights her helm lantern when she sees how dark it is, before following him.

Virgilio's staff still has the Continual Light (at candle strength) from the trip down the long stairway.

"I can make more lights, and brighter ones, if they're wanted."

In reply to Virgilio Hohlfeld (msg # 806):

"I would prefer the lights to be low."


with light you can see the dizzying zigzag patterns on the walls.

"And low they shall be, like a candle, unless we have a need for something brighter.  But I can make as many of these as we need."

"Hold friends. Let me go down with Tommy first. Just in case.", Grohm said before the stairs got too crowded with people.

In reply to Grohm'Tahl (msg # 809):

Brunhilda holds to let him go down with Tommy...

In reply to Brunhilda (msg # 810):

the air is heavy here with the smell of death and is hard to breathe - make a HT roll, with any boni vs metabolic hazards
