[b]Alaerin[/b] will use his [color=ed1c24]Psychokinetic Force Mastery[/color] to recover the bits of armor and primative weapons from the deep sandstone pit.  He will also retrieve the oddly round metallic orb.

He will sketch the most intact of the primative weapons and claim that as a trophy... stowing the others in the loot bag.  The scraps of armor he is curious as to the type of armor... especially if it is metal plate or scale armor ~ likely the ONLY type of armor to survive mostly intact if a bit rusted being underwater for any length of time... as leather would rot away.  

Of course, he will sketch the most intact piece and annotate an extrapolation in notes upon what the rest of a complete set of the recovered armor might have been to the best of his artistic ability.

If any piece of the metallic armor ... specifically bracers {forearms}, vambrace {upper arms}, rarebreace {thieghs}, or greaves {shin-gurads} can be utilized still he will don the servicible pieces.  He does not expect any breastplate or cuirass {chestpiece} to be wearable by a non-beastman it was likely forged to fit.

He will examine the oddly shaped orb... but will stow it in the loot bag... though he will allow ANY party member to examine or appraise the artifacts he retrieved.

Turning to the party, [color=00aeef]"The depths below seem to contain another level of the ruins... but it would be foolish to search that leaving unexplored regions on this level and we might not have enough rope to make the descent safely.  The passage on the other side of the pit is caved in an impractical to excavate as we are equipped... you are correct [b]AnoYi[/b]... we are NOT an archaeology expedition."[/color]  

He smiled in jest but continued,[color=00aeef]"Let's got through the wall opening and see if these 'trials' [b]Gutou[/b] keep harping over are more then just another series of traps...!"[/color]
