[b][color=7bcdc8]Gutou The Tomb Keeper[/color][/b]

Alaerin was able to successfully take notes as well as make sketches. He was also successful in his effort to take charcoal rubbings. Thankfully Gutou did not seem to notice or at the very least wasn’t bothered by it if he did notice.

However at hearing Alaerin’s decision Gutou shook his head slowly, [color=7bcdc8]“I believe I uh gave instructions for you “not to” go that way but if you insist..”[/color] Gutou responded softly looking like it was in thought again, before nodding,

[color=7bcdc8]“Right Very well then, I doubt the emperor would mind if you scribed some, the old archives..are..well very old, and frankly I’m not sure of their condition after all these years, it’s been awhile since I tried to go there above ground.”[/color]


Alarein’s thunder blade lit up and illuminated the surrounding space in a bluish glow once more, the energy radiating passively, while it might not have been as efficient as a torch, it still helped him and others close to him  not be blind.

Alaerin took position and headed down the hall toward the sound of the water splash.

AnoYi was successfully treated and seemed to stay where he was for the time being not making a move to follow Alaerin or Von Mackstein whose units moved in synchronization to give Alaerin  support in his decision to check out what had been making the sounds.

Gutou looked to AnoYi then back to Alaerin and Von Mackstein “Your canine sword wielding friend may have a point..” Before Gutou went quiet, as it stated standing once more being relatively quiet.


In Silus  securing the medical supplies successfully, the remaining torches and rations were left in the rest of the bag on the hallway floor near Francis.

[color=7bcdc8]“So, are you three going to head toward the door I speak of?”[/color] Gutou asked Silus, AnoYi, and Francis, gesturing toward the corridor. [color=7bcdc8]“I do not mind walking there with you.”[/color] It continued.

[color=7bcdc8]"It seems that you know the way of medicine, but it is medicine I Have not seen before..It is very strange to me"[/color] Gutou spoke to Silus before looking to AnoYi and saying,

[color=7bcdc8]"I have not seen a blade like yours what kind is it? Where is it from?"[/color]

Gutou seemed relatively unbothered by the sounds coming down the hallway now from where the others had headed.

Meanwhile regardless of what they were choosing to do:
=====

As Alaerin and Mackstein plus units headed into the darkness suddenly an odd golden orangey glow lit up the area after a good while of relative silence, the hallway floor abruptly ended into a sizable pitfall below where the glow came from, and suddenly a very black and golden large arm tendril came up that had a bright golden glow hat looked a lot like an octopus’ arm, the creature it belonged too was presumably at least [Large]. 

A painful invisible wave soon hit Alaerin F as it felt like his head was throbbing and an unpleasant pain signal came down from the arm holding his sword down his lower back. It was unpleasant to say the least. Mackstein didn’t feel anything, however both heard a series of loud snapping sounds from below, as a second large octopus arm latched onto the edge of the hallway...part of the floor began to crumble and fall into the floor below, revealing the creature below which had been generating the strange invisible wave that triggered pain:
