((Ack sorry for the lack of updates

I've been busy at work))

The party begin to head inside, after a few minutes of a long dark hall they enter what is likely the temple's center, an altar takes up the center of the room with four statues placed at the corners of the alters base. A large door is at the raised altar past the stairs while four other doors are placed at equal sides of the room, all but one are shut and unlike the main entrance do not seem to be made to be pushed open manually.

"...This place feels kind of creepy to me." Sakura remarked.

Fxeni · **Reply #3952 on:** May 27, 2015, 01:09:54 AM

"It is rather unnerving," Fxeni replied as he walked up to the altar. He held his torch towards it to have more light to examine it.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #3953 on:** May 27, 2015, 01:20:05 AM

"I'll be honest, some altars almost send shivers up my spine especially big ones like that." Calien stated "The statues certainly don't help shake that feeling either."

((Will add Prof in a bit. Busy right now.))

"Do you think there are demons in this room, Ms. Sakura?" Pema whispered as she held Salem close. Hunched over, she walked next to Sakura and raised the staff slightly, in case something suddenly jumped out at them.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #3956 on:** May 27, 2015, 01:43:16 AM

"No, I don't sense anything like that." Sakura shook her head "Demons have a particular Mana signature that can be sensed by those who are trained in that sort of way. This room seems to be safe."

Toshi - "Now's not the time to feel intimidated." she said firmly, seemingly impressed at the altar stature, "Not everything was built to make one quiver at their appearance. Speaking of demons, if there were any right now they would jump us by now."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #3958 on:** May 27, 2015, 06:37:26 AM

"Depends on the demon actually." Calien stated "Some would swarm their target, others wait for them to let their guard down, and some will only attack a lone target. Only the less intelligent ones would attack a group like this so foolishly."

Mr. Haxwell · **Reply #3959 on:** May 27, 2015, 06:40:38 AM

Toshi - "Besides, I'm amazed something so ancient like this is still holding out over the millennia."

Phi · **Reply #3960 on:** May 27, 2015, 07:01:04 AM

"I-I'm not intimidated! I'm just..." Pema's hands trembled a bit, and she closed her eyes, trying to shake the dread from her mind.

"Are you going to be alright? There's no need for worry, everyone is here with you." Salem assured her.

She sighed wearily, "Yeah..."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #3961 on:** May 27, 2015, 07:13:58 AM

"Pema do you want one of us to hold your hand?" Sakura asked "I'm sure it would help you feel better."

Phi · **Reply #3962 on:** May 27, 2015, 07:40:49 AM

Pema tugged on her own sleeve and quietly stared down. Holding her hand would certainly help to keep her calm, and perhaps that was what she needed right now. Or perhaps that was simply what she wanted.

She glanced at Sakura, nervously pinching her sleeve and shrinking in her clothes. Pema began to open her mouth, but stopped herself. She couldn't do it. She can't be the same scared little girl that failed to stop the bandits, all those years ago. She's better than that now, and it was time to prove it.

Pema smiled and looked ahead. "Thank you, Ms. Sakura... But, I don't need to. I'm sorry for bringing it up; I have to be brave. For everyone, but mostly for myself."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #3963 on:** May 27, 2015, 07:44:24 AM

"I'm glad you're feeling better." Sakura smiled.

Quickman · **Reply #3964 on:** May 27, 2015, 07:56:24 AM

Riagan didn't really pay much mind to the room, but instead chose to inspect the doors to see if there was a way that they could be opened.

The Professor, meanwhile, was fascinated with the altar and was examining it while consulting his notes. "Fascinating..."

Sapphire Knight · **Reply #3965 on:** May 27, 2015, 10:47:29 PM

Shuu sighed, following behind the group a little as Grani continued a little bit forward. Raising his horn, the unicorn daemon scattered small orbs of light to fully illuminate the room.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #3966 on:** May 28, 2015, 11:11:50 PM

The doors proved to large and too thick from the looks of it to be forced open, but it stood to reason something might open them. The four creepy statues were perfectly placed at each of the four doors and all were holding some sort of torch-leaving only the one door open to explore.

As for the Altar it too was closed or rather the door at the top-perhaps what ever turned on these torches was connected to the doors?

Quickman · **Reply #3967 on:** May 29, 2015, 01:51:29 AM

The Professor continued to examine the altar, noting that the top resembled a lid. Putting that in the back of his mind, he turned his attention the to four statues and the items they were holding. Approaching one of them, he reached up and gave the item a tug.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #3968 on:** May 29, 2015, 02:07:59 AM

Dust keeps it in place but with a strong tug he managed to dislodge it, seems that was intended.

Quickman · **Reply #3969 on:** May 29, 2015, 02:22:34 AM

Taking the torch, the Professor approached the corresponding door and looked for a place to put the torch.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #3970 on:** May 29, 2015, 03:48:23 AM

As he looks the idea dawns that perhaps it's less how they are placed but rather them all being lit, the one door is open after all--perhaps a test or mechanism for opening other doors and finally the main one?

Quickman · **Reply #3971 on:** May 29, 2015, 03:51:19 AM

Glancing back at the open door, the Professor returned to the statue. He lit the torch and placed it back where he found it. Moving to the other three statues, he took down their torches and lit each one.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #3972 on:** May 29, 2015, 03:57:38 AM

The light--oddly enough did not stick but was rather snuffed out, perhaps the rooms had a certain flame that could light it?

Quickman · **Reply #3973 on:** May 29, 2015, 04:01:58 AM

((I *opens Inventory* Torch *selects Torch* Use *uses Torch* S *search*))

The Professor carried his own torch with him as he returned to the altar. The top looked as though it could be removed, so he examined it closely. He looked around the sides and the base for any possible switches or buttons or anything that could be used to activate a hidden mechanism.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #3974 on:** May 29, 2015, 04:10:45 AM

The professor does find four indents that fit the torches.
