From out of a darkened corner, the tiger steps forward. Sitting down she proceeds to clean her front paw. Once this is done to her satisfaction she looks up at the party
The beautifully painted murals on these walls are quite stunning are they not? The way the torch light plays with the gems. It's really quite amazing
She then begins to clean her other front paw. When she’s finished, she stands and emits a low purr, then with a flash of light disappears

Didn't anyone grab that gemmed short sword back there? Geez. Spark limps back to the shelf to retreave the rest of the treasure. When he returns, he slides the sword across the ground to Waldo. Here, I'm guessing we'll need this. Doesn't anyone else want a free souvaneer? He says while offering the weapons to the group... Or do I get to keep them?

Dantri looks at the murals and doesn't take his eyes off of them as he nods to the newcomer. [glow=silver,2,300]"I really don't like this room...."[/glow] Looking up suddenly as the sword slides across the floor. [glow=silver,2,300]"As far as I am concerned you can keep it...but if we find a nice bix axe I request first dibs on it, ok?"[/glow]

"An able leader?" Tellyna mocks Waldo. "Hm... Don't see any of those around..." She smirked as she looked at the swords. "What weapons do you have? A nice sword would beat fighting very close combat with my dagger." She grinned.
"Yes, Spark's right, we shouldn't bother trying to take the murals, I think they were put here for a purpose, it would be stupid to remove them without making sure they aren't booby trapped first. I sugest no one touches anything untill we have a better look around this place. Will someone light some more torches? It's still a bit dim in here." Tellyna said as she stood up and dusted off her tunic, then turned to Waldo. "Having fun being the human trap detector? I'm just waiting for you step on some booby trapped stone and kill us all." She said as she looked at him.
"Are you done attempting to play leader yet?" She asked with a raised eyebrow as she tossed some of her waist length blond hair from her face, her gaze intent on Waldo. "I think it would be better if we remained in one large group instead of having a few people scouting ahead. Strength in numbers you see." She smirked.

"Able leader? Did someone call me? Just kidding. I think the lady is right, we should stick together. Wow! Check out these murals. I had a cousin that did this sort of thing, but he was always painting nymphs in a forest, or a red dragon capturing a beautiful woman - like Tellyna there. I don't have any artistic talents. Hey! Where's Waldo?"

Spark, chuckling at Telly telling Waldo off, holds out the weapons. Well, there's a silver dagger and a mace. Then there's the gemmed short sword. (I thought it may have something to do with the gems on the walls, and if a lifelike painting were to attack whoever has the sword, I rather not be in possesion of it.) I have some vials, two cures, an invisibility, a miniturize, and a poison... unfortunately, we don't know which is which. Something I really think we should figure out.

Waldo picks up the short sword by the blade, and after looking it over for a while, lobs it to Tellyna, after visually informing her of the throw.
I'm an axeman myself. If you would, fair Tellyna, the sword is yours. says Waldo, concurrently I offer my services as leader to this group. If the group refuses it, then it shall be so - I'm perfectly content at braving this dungeon on my own. However, on the side of prudency, I'd agree with your advice and say that we should stick together.
He turns to the others
I'm only a ranger. I need someone to back me up and scout this room. Spark, I'm looking in your direction

After waiting for a responce, jacob relises that they are busy with the tresure, this does not concern him much as he is searching for his oun treasure, his love one.
Jacob notices that tiger seems to hold some purpose here, he walks slowwly up to the tiger, and asks "What is this place??, do you know anything about it??"Coughinga sickly cough at the end of the sentence.

*walks up to the garden mural, and holds my torch up to it, close enough for light, but far enough away to keep from burning it and studies the mural more closely for any sign of booby-traps* "I-I-I agree with T-t-t-tellyna, a booby trap w-w-would be a bad thing. T-this whole room c-c-could be full of them. *turns from the mural to the stairway, and begins searching it thouroughly, looking for any pressure plates or panels or the like that could indicate a trap* "Oh, and Sp-sp-sp-spark, if no one else w-w-wants that dagger, w-well, i like daggers, if th-th-that's ok"

Dantri tries to hide his smirk as Tellyna scoulds Waldo, then turns to look at the others. [glow=silver,2,300]"Don't turn to me to be a leader.....I prefer to defend or play rear guard.....[/glow] Turning around again, he plays a keen eye over the walls again to see if there is anything unusual about them, other than they look lifelike.

They remind me of the living art that the elves of my wood are famous for... perhaps they are a puzzle of some sort? Or perhaps they conceal a door?suggests Waldo, loosening his stance, but still alert

Tellyna catches the sword and grins at the men, "Be careful Jarvin. The tiger sounds like a trickster, I wouldn't want anything to leap out at you." She then turned to Waldo, sword in hand. "I will back you up, that is, if you would allow it?" She said as she looked at him. "Afterall, I wouldn't mind a bit of action as long as we're not biting off more than we can chew. And I do not think there is a concealed door nearby, surely I would have noticed it? Or so I think any way. Look if you will." She said with a shrug. "My skills as an elf may be a bit rusty."
She grinned again, she had meant little offense to Waldo before, but had felt the need to put him in his place before, as she often did to arogant people. "Let us first give this room an entire lookover for traps, then examine the murals, perhaps we can take the jewels with us. But we must be extremely careful, Waldo, I will scout this room with you, afterall, with your bronz and my brains, I doubt that if anything happens we wouldn't be able to take care of it."
She smiled, steping beside Waldo. "Spark, perhaps you would aid the rest of the party in making sure this room is trap free? Including the murals? I do not think any of us wish to incedentaly trigger anything." She said matter of factly, she was a very carefull person who rarely let her guard down, she wanted to get out of this alive and assumed the other's wanted to as well.
"Whatever you do, do not shut the door which led us here, we may need to run back this way and I for one would like to be prepared to run if need be." She said with a nod, then smiled.

Here you are, Jarvin. Spark smiles to Jarvin, as he hands over the dagger. *Bags, I was hoping to stay clear of traps, not to go off finding them!* Turning back to the group, he calmly says, Alright, I can find the magical traps... I take it you guys will go for the mundane ones? Good. He then flourishes his hands and incants the words to allow him sight of magical auras (detect magic) and begins to scan the room, noting the floor, walls, murals (especially the murals), the ceiling, and the cat... focusing on the gems for auras if any are present in that area.

There is a bright flash of light blinding all. When there eyes clear they can see the Tiger sitting in front of them.
Deyv can see a very bright indigo blue aura radiating from her. Being as she is a magical being. Smiling at him she says
I see you’re intrigued by my aura. I'm much more then I seem, but enough of that. As you can also see Deyv, there are areas of varying auras around this half of the room, radiating from the painted murals. Your magic is not able to encompass the entire room however, so you know not of what is elsewhere.
Turning towards Jacob she says
Aye, I know most of all the tricks of the cellar, but alas I will not share. They are for you to discover
With this said, the Tiger goes and sits in the far corner to await the actions of the party

Why must you torment us so! exclaimed a frustrated Waldo to the tiger, Have we a troubleshooter in our midst? Someone who can untrap this room?
