Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Cal moves around the corner and comes to a stop in front of the lone cell in this area. Dust blankets the floor and untethered cobwebs flutter on the light draft emanating from the small room. The light from Aerlya's spell barely penetrates the heavy darkness within, but from his position he notes more desperate ancient scratches on the walls and floor.
A sudden sense of impending doom washes over Cal, as the darkness within the cell seems to warble and swim within his vision...

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Cal walks forward and, to his surprise, he almost stumbles. He reaches a hand out and the wall to steady himself as he tries to look around.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Cal steps into the darkened cell. Old bones and a few scraps of clothing lie on the floor along one wall, the obvious remains of someone who died here many, many years ago.
Spoiler: OCCal continues to experience waves of dread and despair as result of being Shaken.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
As Jheren approaches the cell, the darkness of the cell that seems to almost cling to Cal. His vision warbles and swims briefly as a vertiginous feeling of impending doom washes over him.

"What's wrong?" Aerlya asks sharply as Cal seems to be having trouble moving. "Is there something there?"

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Cal pushes past Jheren and moves out of the cell, as Aerlya hustles forward to see what's going on.
The lights from Aerlya's spell brighten the alcove in which the lone cell is located, casting thicker shadows as they do so. Jheren turns to watch the Samsaran exit the cell, and for a moment it appears as if the deeper shadows surrounding him thin and dissolve back into the cell.
Cal breathes a heavy sigh of relief as his inexplicable anxiety fades once he's back in the hallway.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Jheren feels an unpleasant chill go down his spine. "Ok. OK. I suggest we stay well clear of those cells and move quickly forward. Seems like whatever... horrors happened here have left a mark behind..."

"Hm. I wonder what the source of that effect is." Aerlya shakes her head. "But nothing we can do about it now."

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
The party retreats back into the hallway, just beyond the alcove containing the dreadful dungeon cell to collect themselves. As they appraise their situation, Barnibus speaks up gruffly, "Judging by the looks on your faces....I don't think I'll be goin' down that way to check for m'self."
Spoiler: Knowledge Relgion DC 12You suspect that the dungeon cell contains a "Haunt"....possibly the residual effect of someone dying a horrible death within the cell a long, long time ago. You have heard that there are ways to deal with such things, but little more than they require a specific set of conditions to be met to put such restless spirits to rest.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
"Well, I've hear old wives tales before but I've never seen... well, felt, a haunted area before, but I suspect I just have felt it. I don't think we are equiped to deal with this. At some point, we will need to seek out a priest to help relieve the poor soul of its pain and help it move on to the afterlife."
taking a deep breath, he continues "Let us finish exploring this area, make sure there aren't any others surprises, eh?" as he moves off.

Move to AO-36 and check through the yet to be seen area.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
"Huh. Haunted? Guess we can take that as confirmation that something happened here considerably worse than a single kobold getting instantly killed by an accident," Aerlya says.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Cal and Jheren move to explore the first hallway, pausing to peek into the the open cell. The room is slightly larger than the others. Rusted and pitted iron chains hang from the ceiling in the center of the room, but other than that the cell is entirely empty and unremarkable.
Before examining the twin, closed cell doors at the end of the hallway both Jheren and Aerlya note the outline of what was likely once a well disguised secret door in the wall opposite the empty cell.

"Something over here", Jheren says and walks up to the wall, pressing his hands against it. "Looks to be a door. I wonder how it opens..."

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
"Whoa! Well, that was... pleasantly simple for a change." Jheren moves just a little inside the passage and peers around (which is likely pointless as it is probably pretty dark there) and tries to listen for any noises that could indicate a presence of some kind down the path.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
"Hey- wait!", Jheren quickly steps back to the door, just avoids bumping to it in the dark and tries to reopen it.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Despite the pitch black darkness, Jheren is easily able to locate the door he stepped through. Tracing the outline of the door with his hands, the elf pushes against it to no avail. It occurs to him that if this was once a dungeon, and all of the cells would indicate it was, there may not be a way to open the door from this side.

"Well that's not good." Aerlya makes a pushing gesture at the wall Jheren disappeared through.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Jheren stumbles out of the corridor, shakes his head and breaths a deep sigh of relief. "I would prefer NOT to do that again. It was pitch balck in there. I wonder where the path leads, but I'm not too keen on investigating if we can't be sure to get out, or have to split up and leave someone here."

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
Cal, alarmed at first, tries to stifle a grin at Jheren's fortune. "Well, if we can wedge or block it somehow, we can see what's down there... but, being this was a dungeon, I fear more implements of torture and perhaps some more haunts. What do you think?"

"I think we should first explore areas that are easily accessible, before going down dark spooky corridors", Jheren replies and shudders visibly.

"Fair enough. Alright, this side looks like its been done out, except for that, so lets go back and see the other area." he says and, once everyone is ready, moves back to the entrance and continues looking.

Re: ~The Dark Tapestry IC ~
The small group makes their way back to the entry to this section of the dungeon in the eerie darkness and pervasive silence. Rounding the corner they see open cell doors, an adjoining corridor and a slowly bending hallway that appears nearly identical to the area they just search. An unusually large and thick cobweb does, however, hang from wall to wall where the corridor slowly bends to the right.

"Hmm, that doesn't look right." Cal says as he forges ahead then points at the webs. "Don't suppose anyone has a torch? Aerlya, any way to... you know, magicly light them?"
