Imban: Conveniently, there's also a basement.
* Faiz rumbles.
* Taemhain shuffles down into the basement?

Adric Kain: May I?
Taemhain: (( confusion: the new diplomacy ))
Serra: "Yes, yes you are."

Ixa: Well.
Faiz: Can we please get on with this?
Ixa: Um, open the door?
Taemhain: I just like seeing the hair, its so amazing.
Faiz: I've had to do this like three times now.
Ixa: We're not quite sure why you're here with all of these outsiders, Lord Faiz, but we're not going to stop you. That said, while we were told to guard this area, there's not much beyond it.
Ixa: Just a prisoner in the southern cells, and... well, we were told to never go into the western crypts.
Forge: (( You know eventually you're gonna run out of good Rider names and we're gonna bump into the Longtooth Shifter known as J. ))
Faiz: Nothing about crazy evil monarchs lording over and subjugating your--
Faiz: Yeah that'll do it.
Adric Kain: (( No we're not ))
Adric Kain: (( Also It would be Jay and his brother Zo ))
Forge: (( Zio ))
Taemhain: Prisoner?
Adric Kain: Who's the prisoner?
Ixa: Yeah, he's in the south. Real strange fellow, doesn't talk. Might be disturbed or something.
Faiz: And for god's sake if there are any more of us around here can you tell them I'm coming because I really do not want to do this again.
Adric Kain: I could have introduced you.
Faiz: YOU DO THAT ENOUGH.
Ixa: Well, if you met Chal, that should be all of us.
Faiz: OH. WELL.
* Faiz thumbs-up. "HOW'D YOU LIKE TO JOIN US IN LIKE, SCOURING THE HELL OUT OF THIS PLACE THEN?"
Ixa: Actually, we'll be leaving. There's a big sandstorm coming, and we'd rather not be caught out in it...
Faiz: MAY OR MAY NOT INCLUDE DEPOSING AND SUPER-MURDERING THE ONE WHO PUT YOU TO THIS.
Faiz: OR THAT'S COOL TOO.
Faiz: ...I MISS SANDSTORMS.
* Faiz rumbles.
Serra: "...A sandstorm?"
Ixa: "Yeah. You might have to stay the night here if you don't leave right away."
Ixa: "That said, we're doing that."
Adric Kain: We can live with that.
Forge: If it makes you feel better, when we leave this place I could use my Choukyuu Haoh Deneidan outside to kick up sand.
Faiz: IT'S JUST NOT THE SAME.
Faiz: WELP. HUM.
Faiz: LET'S... LET'S GO DO THINGS.
Taemhain: Sounds good.
Adric Kain: See what the prisoner is about.
Zol: Also I was named Zol, for the record. Because otherwise it won't get saved.
Faiz: (( (tee hee) ))
Imban: Threden enters a dusty, moldy storeroom. It is empty.
Threden: Location: Unoccupied.
Imban: Faiz enters a more or less empty room. There is a door to the south, though.
Serra: "Wait, let's check over here first before we move on.
* Serra points in the direction of room 27
Serra: (( err, 28 ))
Imban: This ancient dungeon shows signs of recent use, with scuff marks along the floor indicating traffic in both directions. Four large cells stand in the center of the chamber, the entrance of each blocked by a lowered portcullis controlled by a nearby winch and pulley. From the darkness ahead comes a bright chirping sound.
Taemhain: Birds?
Forge: Dungeons do not normally chirp.
Adric Kain: Azar isn't around...so yeah that's odd.
Faiz: MAYBE IT'S A BIRDCAGE.
Forge: (( Oh hey it's Harvey ))
* Birdman is sitting on the stone bed in his cell, surrounded by seven bright yellow canaries, some perched on his shoulders, some happily hopping around his cell.
* Faiz just... stares a bit. Rumbles.
Taemhain: Yo.
Forge: I suppose he knows why he caged bird sings.
* Birdman looks at Taemhain and smiles.
Serra: (This must be the prisoner the shifters were talking about.)
Taemhain: (( thats horrible @.@ ))
Adric Kain: Probably
Taemhain: So..uhh...why are you in there?
* Birdman seems to not notice and chirps at one of the canaries, which tweets back happily.
Taemhain: It only speaks bird doesn't it?
Faiz: ...WELL.
* Serra peeks in. "Hello?"
Adric Kain: Maybe.
* Birdman smiles at Serra.
Faiz: I UH.
Forge: (( Goddamn Twitter, people using it instead of talking. ))
* Faiz tilts his head from one side to the other.
Taemhain: Or crazy. I guess.
Serra: (( I can use Comprehend Languages right now if you want me to ))
Faiz: ...CHIRP, CLICK, WARBLE?
Taemhain: Why did we leave Azar passed out in a different part of the castle? That seems like a bad plan now.
Forge: (( I'M JUST A BIRDIE TOO. ))
Adric Kain: He kept going on about some Sun Vulcan ritual or something.
* Birdman tilts his head at Faiz and looks confused, but then grins.
Forge: Sun Vulcan seems to enjoy when his followers nap.
Serra: "Well, since it sounds like he only can understand birdspeak..."
Taemhain: Seems like an awfully lazy ritual to me.
* Serra steps over to an empty section of the room.
* Faiz spreads his arms out a bit in a "Well, it's working, I guess" sort of way. "WARBLE, SCREE... CHITTER. CHIRP."
Forge: (( If he puts a claw on his hand I'm killing him right now. ))
* Serra starts setting up some kind of ritual (Comprehend Languages).
* Faiz turns his head over to Serra. "CHITTER WORKS, RIGHT?"
Imban: SCREE?
Taemhain: Personally I just think he's crazy.
* Birdman strokes one of the canaries idly on the head. It twitters with cheer.
Faiz: (( This is apparently going about as well as my crash course in Infernal. BUT I WILL PRESS ON ))
Faiz: CHIRP CAW CHIRP CHIRP WARBLE CHIRP WARBLE WARBLE?!
Serra: (( Actually wait I cancel that. I can't use it to speak to him. ))
Birdman: (( Wark isn't a language, eh? ))
Serra: (( No, I need a 35 on an Arcana check to be able to speak in the language I'm trying to understand. ))
Taemhain: (( man, that must have been one hell of a conversation ))
Birdman: (( Ahh ))
* Birdman shakes his head at Faiz then goes back to tending his birds.
* Faiz scratches at his head a bit. "I... MAY BE GETTING THROUGH TO HIM."
Adric Kain: Or maybe he's mocking you.
Taemhain: But do you even know what *youre* saying?
Faiz: IT IS A VERY DELICATE PROCESS.
Forge: Why do we not open the door and see what happens?
Forge: Talking is getting us nowhere if we cannot be sure he even understands.
Serra: "Yes, that might be a good idea."
Adric Kain: It's worth a try.
* Faiz walks over to the lever, rejected.
* Faiz ashunkashunk? "JERKS."
Imban: With a grind and a clank, the portcullis opens.
* Birdman stands up with an elated expression and walks out of his cell.
Faiz: BE FREE
Faiz: FOR CERTAIN VALUES THEREOF. KILLING ALL THE THINGS NOT GUARANTEED AT THIS PRESENT MOMENT.
* Birdman peeks into the cell next to his, then shrugs.
* Taemhain waves.
Serra: "Huh, wonder what that was all about.
* Serra peeks into same cell.
Adric Kain: Maybe there's something in there.
Threden: Farewell peculiar mortal.
Taemhain: Maybe there was another birdman in there earlier?
Imban: There doesn't appear to be anything in there other than manacles and a stone bed.
* Faiz rumbles. Goes about opening up the other cells in order for OTHER AND LIKEWISE INVESTIGATION.
Imban: With a grind and a clank, all of the portculli open.
Imban: None of the cells appear to be different, except for how one of them just had a birdman in it recently.
Serra: "Huh."
Imban: (( But there's a « S = 0 » on the floor in one of them! Uhm. Look over there! ))
Faiz: (( DOGPILE ))
Taemhain: (( s stood for scree didnt it? ))
Threden: (( Suddenly, Faiz is eaten by Lavos. ))
Serra: (( "Aww, how cuuuuuuuute. ))
Kittenban: You think that there might be something here, but there is something of absurd weight on top of it. Maybe it'll be open later.
Faiz: (( ...T-that... was less than helpful. ))
Forge: (( Ah, a plot-release device ))
Taemhain: (( future loot! ))
* Faiz tries to roll it with his foot and rumbles. "BORING."
Serra: (( onore lazyban ;_; ))
Imban: (( unfortunately "a secret door you can't find until later" doesn't help much when it's clearly marked on the map ))
Adric Kain: (( More likiely we need to go into the western crypt and get attacked by monsters and then find this is a secret door to the second floor ))
Serra: "Well, let's keep going, then."
Imban: Threden enters what seems to be an ancient crypt.
Imban: The smell of death is strong in this place.
Faiz: --GUH
Faiz: YOU PEOPLE AND YOUR KEEPING DEAD PEOPLE.
Imban: Taemhain, meanwhile, enters yet another dusty and mouldy storage room.
Taemhain: This place sure does have boring storage rooms
Adric Kain: There are going to be zombies in here.
Adric Kain: Or skeletons.
Imban: Threden enters a hall of rooms. Each one seems like it's narrow enough to hold one sarcophagus.
Serra: "Ick. I really do not like this stench. Bleh."
Imban: Or maybe a secret door.
Taemhain: Or both?
Imban: Likely not both.
Faiz: WELL WE CAN JUST DO WHAT WE NORMALLY DO WHEN PRESENTED WITH SUCH THINGS.
Taemhain: Open every one?

Faiz: SERIOUSLY, WHY DO YOU GUYS DO THIS?
Imban: The doors are unlocked, and open easily.
Taemhain: I'm no priest, never bothered to ask.
Imban: Suddenly, one of the vault doors bursts open!
Forge: Technically Warforged do not preserve the dead. Perhaps we should.
Taemhain: Ooooh, a live one.
Imban: Within is a hideous creature with batlike wings and feral claws, shrieking as it attacks!
Faiz: OH HI.

Imban: Taemhain pokes the spot it was on, and notices that there's a well-used secret door there. It'd be relatively difficult to spot, except it was strangely marked on the map.
Taemhain: But we could make it eat walls so we don't have to keep turning them to sand.
Faiz: NOW YOU'RE JUST SUGGESTING CRAZY.
