Galse is going to be sure to keep a closer eye on Silas. Anyone who disrespects his body and risks his life that way. And now the screaming's started.

Silas walks over to the statue where the screaming is coming from. He does not touch it. First he studies the face as he did with the previous statue, then he kneels, puts his mouth close to the floor, cups his hands around his mouth, and shouts to the screamer:

"WHAT?"

"Someone's screaming!" Thistlewhistle jumps.
He enters the room and searches fro the place where the sounds echo throug the floor.
"Are you... okay?" He asks in direction of Silas. "I mean, you don't look like ... and it looked pretty painfull... May I ask how you feel now?"
Then his attention shifts back to the screams. "Sounds like someone needs help, right?"

Silas studies the face. It's a round faced man. The screaming stops after Silas yells at it with cupped hands. "What? Who's there? Let me out of here! I'm trapped!"

The statue near Silas bends down and touches him. For a second, Silas imagines he is climbing a large mountain. He's high above the ground, with only a thin rope and his bare hands between him and certain doom. The image leaves him and he's back cupping his hands at the ground.

Silas gains +2 to climb.

"I feel... better than expected." Silas says to Thistlewhistle.

He ignores the call for help from under the floor. The reply convinced him that it was not a horrible monster about to burst through the floor and attack them, so he doesn't care anymore. If anyone else wants to try and help, that is their business.

Silas strolls over to yet another unidentified statue. He is curious about how some statues wait to be touched, while others reach out and touch who they please. He again studies the statue's face, and then without touching the statue he draws close and whispers

What is your name, friend?

The statue reaches out towards Silas, it opens it's previously closed hand to reveal a ring. The ring is a deep black onyx. It present the ring directly in front of Silas's hand. Then the statue turns to granite. The ring appears on Silas' finger.

Thistlewhiste takes a close look at the floor to see how he could dig up that person in the floor. "Hang on, we'll get you out there in a second!" He shouts and mutters to himself: ".. or mabey a bit longer than a second... ".

The floor boards look hastily nailed over this area. It's clear that this patch doesn't look solid at all, unlike the rest of the room. A good attack or some prying should be able to clear the floor boards.

A statue stirs behind Thistlewhistle. He had been so careful though, he thought. He turned around and avoided the first attempt to touch him. He even managed to attack the statue. But his attack hit the statue like any attack would hit a marble statue, with little to no effect. The statue tapped him in the head on it's second attempt.
A flash of swimming in the rapids of a river past through Thistlewhistle's mind.

+2 to swim for Thistlewhistle.

"Swimming? In that river? full of alligatos?" The gnome shakes is head. "No way! What am I thinking...and what was I todo again?" He stands trying to remember.
"Oh, right. I was going to dig up that unlucky guy there... Anyone has a shovel or Hammer or such?" He lookes around the room.

Thistlewhistle sees no digging tools. But does take a moment to look at the whole room as it currently stands.

Thistlewhisle get up and goes to the statue with the sword and waits if it drops the sword or something else happens. He dosen't step to close thoug.

Silas ignores what is going on, and looks intently at the Black Onyx ring, trying to guess what its secrets are.

Spoonweaver · Post by **Spoonweaver** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 11:26 pm

Thistlewhistle stands in front of the statue holding the sword without getting too close. She looks it over. Along the blade of the sword is writing too small to read without getting right next to the statue.

Silas tries to activate the ring in a couple of ways, but nothing seems to happen.

"That is quite deep, it would seem... Probably not a good idea to head down there just yet."

He hears the screaming, and wonders what is causing it. Perhaps it would be a good idea to help whoever's doing the screaming, never a bad thing to have someone in your debt.

"Gnome, here, use this to pry the floorboards loose." He tosses Thistlewhistle another of his javelins.

"Do try to keep it intact this time around."

While Thistlewhistle works on the floorboards, Kalar looks around the room. He takes a look up at the loft, trying to judge how high it is and if there are any statues near the walls bordering it that haven't been turned into granite yet.

Seeing as they haven't exactly explored the building in general, Lynda decides to go to the door nearest to her, and attempt to open it and peek in.
