Talos watched as the door appeared, he doubted the dark elves would ever have found it. Hopefully the door would return back to it's previous look once they were within the tomb.

Drawing one of his swords he followed Entharion into the tomb.

You enter the tomb and walk down the corridor. The walls are cold stone, and dust lies thick underfoot. No one has been here for a long time indeed. It is dimly light by magelights at the corners of the roof.
You come across a four-way junction nearly immediately. You cannot see far down any of them...


OOC: For this section of the rpg, I'm changing the requirements, otherwise this tomb will take years to navigate. First person to pick a direction gets it, and I'll post after only one post. However, no one can pick twice in a row, ok?

"I'll take the left passage..." said Avel with an unusual glint in his eye, as Avel drew his sword and knife and walked down the path.

You proceed east a short way, until the tunnel meets a nother tunnel running north-south. You may continue north, south, or go back west.

Talos turns up the north tunnel without waiting for anyone else.

You continue north, and then continue along the corridor as it run east a fair way. You hgave not seen anything but tunnels yet, and are feeling apprehensive, when you reach another intersection. You can turn south, or continue east.

You continue along through the monotonous tunnels, and reach another turn, as the way goes south. You turn the corner...
...and suddenly find yourselves elsewhere. You are facing a tunnel, with two more on either side of you. Anarion's senses take a while to recover, but he says you are facing south...

Talos turns east, intending to test out a theory of his about the layout of the tunnels.

You continue east, the north as the tunnel twists, and then find another juncture: west-east.

Straining his eyes looking down the East tunnel, Avel decided it was more to his liking than the West tunnel...

You continue eastward. The sheer similarities of these tunnels is obvious: it makes people get lost!
You reach a north-south corridor.

Seeing as his theory wasn't really working, Talos decided to go north again for no particular reason. This place was starting to really confuse him.

You continue north, until the tunnel splits again, east-west.

Removing a coin from his pouch, Avel flips it, catches it and looks at the result before returning it to his pouch and heading West.

Again an intersection greets you. Alith Anar's tomb is a maze, all right! Should any druchii come in here somehow, they would surely become lost and starve to death!
The intersection is north-south.

Talos turns south for no particular reason, other than he hasn't been south yet.

Again the tunnel turns, anrd you are walking westwards. But what is thus? There is more light ahead!
You hurry on and enter a room. It is much the same as the corridors, save for the ebony statue of an elf. Looking at it, you recognise it as a portrayal of Lileath, the Maiden Goddess of the moon and magic. She wears a long white robe, and has both smooth bare arms entwined over her head, supporting the moon. Her long hair does not hang, but is spread all about her.
There are three ways out: the east, the north, and the south.
The statue speaks! A voice (masculine, rough, and powerful in its charisma: not that of Lileath) speaks

It flies without wings,
Strikes without beak, teeth,
or talons. It has no eyes
in its pointed head,
but it can kill birds in flight.


Then it is silent...

Talos scratches his head, and thinks about what has just been said, it some sort of a riddle.

"An Arrow?" Talos says after about 10 seconds.

"That is correct," the voice says. "Here is your weal."

Nelui slew more druchii than the spear-wielder, whose colour is red.

Then the voice is silent.

Avel muttering a prayer under his breath to the statue, headed towards the East passage intent on going through the other passage in the previous intersection.

You retrace your steps, and this time go north instead of retracing your steps east. You go north, then west, and are confronted with another intersection: you can proceed west or south.

Now really confused about where he was Talos decides west would be a good direction to head in.

You continue west for a fair way, and then south. Another tunnel splits off, heading east, or you can continue south.

Looking at both passages....Avel looked at Talos who merely shrugged, Avel decided to continue southwardly.

You go south, but near instantly the psage bends and you are heading east, until you reach an east-south junction.

You continue down these endless, labyrinthine corridors, Will you ever find your way out? What you do find is a north-south passage at the end of this one.

Avel didn't like the ominous feeling he got when he looked down the south tunnel...but that probably meant something dangerous or important was there....Avel hesistantly walked down the South Passage

This tunnel zigs and zags, going south, then east, then south again. Here another passage splits off to the east.
