"Any luck figuring it out, Pema?" Fxeni said with a small chuckle as he watched her examine the walls. He felt somewhat uneasy, although he wasn't quite sure why.

As the group stood in the dark room, Grani started speaking. As he didn't speak the common language, it would sound like jibberish.

"... Susanoo, what's Grani going on about?" Shuu asked, looking to the tablet the tiger daemon was in, getting a sigh in response.

"I do not know... He is speaking in an older dialect." Susanoo sighed.

"Even to me it sounds like jibberish." Hellhound tagged on, earning some very sharp-toned words from Grani, no doubt some sort of insult or curse words.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #3927 on:** May 23, 2015, 02:44:16 AM

"You think Grani actually knows what it says?" Sakura asked.

Quickman · **Reply #3928 on:** May 23, 2015, 02:53:09 AM

"Non-euclidean geometry," the Professor said simply as he continued to study the hieroglyphs. "These are, these are the hallmarks of, of the Outer Gods. Stories speak of worlds, cities that m-make no sense. Angles that b-baffle the, the m-more prosaic. When, when my master and I, when we studied the forbidden arts, we learned of, of, of these cities and temples, and lands before Time. My m-master... he wanted, he wanted to find Unknown Kadath..."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #3929 on:** May 23, 2015, 02:55:20 AM

"....Unknown Kadath?" Calien questioned.

(Is this more Lovecraft stuff?)

Quickman · **Reply #3930 on:** May 23, 2015, 02:59:30 AM

((Ee-yep. You mentioned weird angles, so I went the Lovecraft angle.

))

"Unknown Kadath... a fantastic city of gold hidden in the dreamlands," the Professor said simply as he studied the carvings.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #3931 on:** May 23, 2015, 03:20:13 AM

(I've got an idea involving some Lovecraft inspired stuff at the very least

)

"Hmm hey look at this picture, seems the further down this hall we go the more they change, this one shows--huh? These kinda look like the demons from my time--Hmm." Aya seems rather confused by all this.

Sapphire Knight · **Reply #3932 on:** May 23, 2015, 03:27:20 AM

Grani continued to just talk away, as if he were just having a conversation with himself or some invisible, mute friend.

"Well, if he speaks in a dialect so old that Hellhound thinks is jibberish, it's possible." Shuu replied to Sakura, shrugging. "That said, nobody would be able to understand him anyway."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #3933 on:** May 23, 2015, 03:34:46 AM

"I wish we could understand him. It must be frustrating not speaking a language anyone understands." Sakura noted.

"Speaking from experience I can say it is really frustrating." Calien sighed. "I'm just glad I was able to learn how to speak this language. Though I still have great difficulty writing in this language admittedly."

Fxeni · **Reply #3934 on:** May 23, 2015, 03:48:55 AM

"Demons, hmm? Do they have a link with whoever made this temple?" Fxeni asked Aya, looking at the carvings she was observing.

Quickman · **Reply #3935 on:** May 23, 2015, 03:53:43 AM

The Professor studied the changing images closely, and then dug out one of his texts, flipping to a well-worn page. "The Mogguloch had a similar change. Those, those who worshiped the Mogguloch were also sacrificed to, to n-nourish it."

He flipped a few more pages and then pointed at another carving. "These, these resemble Chaugnar Faugn, an elephantine god of the Great Old Ones... See, see how, see how the p-picture looks like it is feeding from the, the humanoids? Chaugnar Faugn is nursed by, by the b-blood of its worshipers."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #3936 on:** May 23, 2015, 03:55:51 AM

"That's just morbid." Calien shuddered.

"So these people worshipped demons?" Sakura raised an eyebrow.

Sapphire Knight · **Reply #3937 on:** May 23, 2015, 04:08:11 AM

Shuu sighed, looking between the various hieroglyphs as Grani continued talking away, his voice quieter now.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #3938 on:** May 23, 2015, 04:31:35 AM

"These look a lot like the deamons that existed in my time, it couldn't be---" Aya suddenly cut off leaving the party in suspense.

Quickman · **Reply #3939 on:** May 23, 2015, 04:37:14 AM

The Professor turned around to look at Aya. "Is something the m-matter...?"

Sapphire Knight · **Reply #3940 on:** May 23, 2015, 04:40:49 AM

It was at this point that Grani went quiet, Shuu also turning to Aya.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #3941 on:** May 23, 2015, 04:57:42 AM

"The empire was the first time in history where all the races were united under one banner--by force or other wise but it's not the beginning of civilization, my creators called it the Dark Age where all the tribes worshiped all manor of things. That stopped once the real gods made them selves known and embraced the Arcadians.

This temple--it might be from that era, these newer pictures are obviously demons like Shuu's allies; that means this might a temple they created to worship one of their deities and I know they existed back then. Right?" Aya looks to Hellhound.

Sapphire Knight · **Reply #3942 on:** May 23, 2015, 05:04:00 AM

At this, Hellhound materialized in his smaller form. "Yeah, I suppose." He answered, looking to what was on the walls. "It'd explain why this place smells like a Lorde's territory." The greater daemon said, turning to Aya. "Still can't read any of this crap though. It's from before me."

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #3943 on:** May 23, 2015, 05:48:02 AM

"Well hopefully we don't attract the attention of anything still in here, we should move one sooner rather than later." Aya turns to look down the hall.

Fxeni · **Reply #3944 on:** May 23, 2015, 06:01:28 AM

"Pretty sure you jinxed us by saying that..." Fxeni said as he held his torch forward and walked forward down the hall.

Phi · **Reply #3945 on:** May 23, 2015, 08:54:39 AM

Pema listened to the Prof's explanation and Aya's proclamation of demons. Then she looked back at the hieroglyphs.

Head nodding, she motioned her hands around the illustrations, "Hey, and- and look at these weird tall figures right here! That must be, uh... must be the neck right there, so... Oh! So yeah, I think these are giraffes? And they're eating- eating those cloud... things above them. So logically, they're demon giraffes eating... clouds."

Pema shook her head and rubbed her neck, "Wait, no, no- I almost have it! Umm, hold on, lemme think some more on this!"

She mumbled incessantly to herself. "Maybe when- When Clouds Attack..."

"Well, I guess I have to give her points for trying, at least." Salem stared blankly.

Sapphire Knight · **Reply #3946 on:** May 24, 2015, 02:58:25 AM

Grani's voice could be heard sighing before he resumed talking.

"He knows nobody can understand him, right?" Hellhound asked, earning another strong word from Grani.

"Just let him talk. He doesn't get to explain things very often." Shuu sighed, Grani deciding to turn to his normal form and release a bit more light into the hall.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #3947 on:** May 24, 2015, 03:08:58 AM

Sakura decided to try to listen to Grani, even though she had no hope of understanding him, when he came out while Calien decided to look at the hieroglyphs and illustrations Pema was looking at despite the fact that he wouldn't be able to understand them. It also didn't help that Calien had no idea what they really were or what the hell a giraffe was.

(Yeah I get the feeling that Calien has never heard of or seen a real giraffe, before and Girafarig looks more like a giraffe colored pony really......)

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #3948 on:** May 24, 2015, 11:32:40 PM

((Killer Giraffes are canon now, I'll post tomorrow after I stop being tired

))

Sapphire Knight · **Reply #3949 on:** May 24, 2015, 11:50:37 PM

[Hmm... I did a bit of digging... Think giraffes could be included as Cow daemons since they're genetically in the same Order (Artiodactyla) and Infraorder (Pecora)?]
