While [b]Gutou[/b] was busy ... pontificating... [b]Alaerin[/b] pulled out his Journal Book and got to work... first sketching the Golem Guardians, the scene of the Tomb Ruin halls as well as  sketch of the intricate floor patterns in the floor tiled mosaic and finally a sketch of [b]Gutou[/b] in his book pages.  Then he moved to the pillars with the strange Animal Hieroglyphic picture/symbols and tearing a few sheets from the back of his Journal book pulled out a piece of charcoal and began making some discrete charcoal rubbings of the strange hieroglyphic symbols... diligent to get as many varying examples of the lost language as he could!

When completed.. he carefully placed the loose pages between empty pages in the back of his Journal to preserve the details.. and closed the Journal buckling the bookcover leather strap securely before returning the journal to his shoulder bag of travel gear.

Seemingly he heard everything [b]Gutou[/b] said as he responded, [color=00aeef]"Thank you for the opportunity to prove our worth we will NOT disappoint... but part of being worthy means not being able to be mislead by distractions.  We will go through the hole in the wall to seek the Flute AFTER we have finished searching and securing the rest of the Tomb's corridors from any threats... like whatever is moving down the hall into water we just heard... can't leave some hostile creature behind us to trap us in the Tomb can we now?  Plus... I want to catalogue more of the Tombs vistas for prosperity... many of the sights within here need to be shared with civilization to remind us of the Greatness that was for once.. and might be again if we stay true to our convictions."[/color]

Gesturing to the party, [color=00aeef]"... This way... I'll take point as usual.. same approach protocol [b]Von Mackstein[/b]... cover me."[/color]

With that [b]Alaein[/b] drew his Greatsword again from his back-sheath and flourished it into a reverse grip in his left hand and strode forward ...again the Greatsword lit up with his [color=6ecff6][i]Thunder Blade[/i][/color] of arcing lightning to illuminate his path...
