(Yeah he did, Calien specifically asked him to.)

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #3901 on:** May 23, 2015, 12:18:22 AM

((Yep everyone helped out))

Quickman · **Reply #3902 on:** May 23, 2015, 12:19:15 AM

((Okay, I must have missed that.))

Meanwhile, the Professor was watching from the sidelines, wondering if they required anything from him.

Aya covers her nose as the foul air escapes the temple "Ugh--"

Sakura Leic · **Reply #3904 on:** May 23, 2015, 12:23:56 AM

"Yup.....that's definitely the smell of a ruin." Calien gagged.

Fxeni · **Reply #3905 on:** May 23, 2015, 12:30:57 AM

"Lovely..." Fxeni muttered as he held his arm to his face to cover the smell. He peers through the door, holding out his torch in front of him.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #3906 on:** May 23, 2015, 12:38:18 AM

It is quite dark, almost like the shadows are consuming any light intruding on the old ruin. Or perhaps thats just Fexni's eyes playing tricks?

(wooooo...

))

Finally, the Professor spoke up. "Could, could I, could I p-perhaps be of some service? I had explored catacombs b-before, when, when I, when I was in the service of the Or—err... of m-my, my, my monastery..."

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #3908 on:** May 23, 2015, 12:45:49 AM

"Anything would help, what do you recommend?" Aya smiles.

Pema retreated from the pit and followed along with the party.

Quickman · **Reply #3910 on:** May 23, 2015, 12:53:47 AM

"Well, if, if, if need be, I could attempt to translate the writings, or, or..." Walking over to the door, the Professor dug through his bag for another torch. Ripping the cap off and lighting it, he tossed it along the ground and a fair ways into the temple.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #3911 on:** May 23, 2015, 01:09:20 AM

The writings on the wall are again in that alien looking hieroglyphs however much older, perhaps the previous ones were carved later? They show non humanoid entities being worshiped by what look like non descript humanoids.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #3912 on:** May 23, 2015, 01:11:15 AM

(So this time the Prof wouldn't be able to understand them?)

Quickman · **Reply #3913 on:** May 23, 2015, 01:11:56 AM

((Suddenly... Lovecraft. >.>

And I'm gonna duck out for a short walk while it's still daylight out.))

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #3914 on:** May 23, 2015, 01:22:00 AM

((Hey thats what you wanted!

The Prof might not understand it directly but I'm sure he can get a meaning out of the pictures through reasoning.))

Sapphire Knight · **Reply #3915 on:** May 23, 2015, 01:26:09 AM

Hellhound growled at the stale air before retreating to his tablet on Shuu's armor. "Damn that place stinks! Probably has been closed since the Maokin vanished."

Susanoo shook his head as he unsummoned himself as well, Grani taking his place in the form of a broadsword.

Quickman · **Reply #3916 on:** May 23, 2015, 01:29:00 AM

((Yeah, Prof can read pictures just fine and extrapolate some meaning from them. Translating the actual text may take a while, though.))

Carefully, the Professor entered the room, seemingly unperturbed by the stale air. Pulling out his pen and parchment, he began to transcribe the drawings and take rubbings of the writings for later study. "Fascinating, fascinating..."

Riagan wrinkled up his nose. "Stinks of miasma in there."

Sapphire Knight · **Reply #3917 on:** May 23, 2015, 01:31:38 AM

[Think Shuu should offer the Prof some extra light with Grani's light magic?]

Quickman · **Reply #3918 on:** May 23, 2015, 01:34:06 AM

((Go for it.))

Sapphire Knight · **Reply #3919 on:** May 23, 2015, 01:37:19 AM

Seeing what the Professor was doing, Shuu entered the room behind him, also not too bothered by the room's smell. "Eh, not as bad as certain things from home..." He commented, standing behind the smaller humanoid. "Need some extra light?" He asked, Grani's blade starting to glow fairly brightly.

Quickman · **Reply #3920 on:** May 23, 2015, 01:39:35 AM

"Thank you, that's, that's m-much better..." the Professor didn't look up from his scribblings.

((Me go for walkies. Back in a few.))

Sakura Leic · **Reply #3921 on:** May 23, 2015, 01:42:36 AM

"Ugh I don't even want to know what can smell worse than this." Sakura said covering her nose.

"Honestly this is nothing compared to a Volcano or other places I've been, but it's still pretty unpleasant." Calien added.

Phi · **Reply #3922 on:** May 23, 2015, 01:55:21 AM

Pema glanced at the Professor intently studying his notes and then she turned to the hieroglyphics, attempting to understand the meaning behind them.

"Thiiiiiiink, hrmmmmm..." She squinted and scrunched up her face, narrowing her focus on the history inscribed on the walls. "There's a story here... speak to me..."

"You got anything yet?" Salem decided to humor her and spoke nonchalantly.

"Oh, my dear Salem, these things take time and patience! Let us professionals handle it." She turned her head at a 90 degree angle and peered closer.

"Kiiiinda think you need experience to be a professional, but hey, don't let me stop whatever it is... you're even doing." He replied.

Pema's head was now practically upside down as she crouched down and tried looking at different angles.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #3923 on:** May 23, 2015, 02:05:45 AM

"This stuff is not like anything from the empire--also anyone else notice how oddly built this place is? Who makes a temple on an angle?!" Aya comments.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #3924 on:** May 23, 2015, 02:09:18 AM

"Yes....it's quite unusual." Calien stated.
