[color="Blue"]In another minute the intrepid pair arrive in the archway to overlook the water-logged, misty chamber containing the curiously fashioned column.

Two torches are guttering in scones afixxed to the walls -- one adjacent to the archway which Tirandir and †delwynn are peering though, the other opposite, by the narrow stair leading back the to surface. The torch-fires are clinging to their last few minutes of fuel, lending the blanket of mist an ochre-orange tint.

The fact that a major battle was fought here scarcely an hour earlier is completely concealed by the mist.

All is ominously silent.

What now?

Tirandir would motion †delwynn forward, he would be careful to skirt the open puddles. Espeically those nearest the fountain. Back to the stairway to retrieve the oil he saw earlier.

Very cautiously. ;D

[color="Blue"]The pair skirt the misty room, the feet sloshing through cold water once again, as they -- several times -- almost trip over bodies hidden beneath the mist. This aside, they reach the stair which climbs up and up to the swampy surface. They dun light from over indicates that they day is almost done...

Mist and water continues to trickle down the narrow stair from above, however.

Tirandir would quick as possible try to find any flasks of oil, torches, or anything flammable on either of the bodies.

The bodies of Firas and Mab are at the foot of the stair; two partially conceal bulks in the mist.

You can loot anything you like from... (check out their respective character sheets).

Tirandir rummages around the bodies, then start muttering to himself and double checking....Then he laughs in self mocking way. He grabs the 3 torches and then considers picking up one of the bodies....After a quick look back at where the rest of the party must be he decides to head back.

Double quick....... When we get to where the scones are replace the sputtering torch with a fresh one and light another one to carry down the long hallway.
