Listen: 39 Hide: 56 (36 if See Invisibility is used, and not hiding to those who can clearly see in the dark with the spell...) Move Silently: 47
The pixie is indeed invisible, and has been the entire time, wearing his blindfold. He has been flying slowly behind whoever is in front, about 10 feet from the floor (the inverted triangle did not bother him). He hardly notices the sigils, or even the door for that matter, but because of the sigils being inscribed into the surface he notices them slowly. [Decipher Script 35]
He also does not notice why Shadow stops unless the crystal actually moves in some way, but he holds his place patiently.
Once Shadow moves again he floats along silently again.
((OOC: Flin is quite aware that something else might be around here, he is staying quiet and cautious, his weapons at the ready))

Flin hears a noise somewhat like a foot scraping a rock but only for a second. The door's sigils read, roughly, "Only the arms of Goliath may open the vault." The rest are merely warding sigils that are clearly designed to resist forced entry of any kind.
Shadow, down at the base of the stairs (make a spot check) you sense a -tremendous- magical power emanating from the middle back of the room, past a large number of boulders that have a scintillant shine as though they contain metals and ores. The ceiling is dotted with smooth Stalactites that drip a fluid that does not appear to be water. You can barely make out the shimmer of two silver cylinders that seem to match the holes in the double doors to the vault above. (You are already aware of what is emitting the dreadfully strong energy)

Still sticking to the shadows, he draws his weapon and begins making his way around the perimeter of the room towards the silver Cylinders , keeping an eye out for any creatures of any sort that he may have missed earlier when he was scouting out the place.

((OOC: A bit of a back track as I most likely had a bit of time during the 30 seconds of silence from Shadow, after he comments on the door, Flin mentions the writing and what he thinks it says... quietly))
Moving down to the room below, Flin positions himself until he can barely sense the wall that Shadow is closest to, moving in until he can "see" the back wall, and then up until he is within 50 ft of the ceiling.
((Effectively now, Flin should be able to sense the entire room, he moves around slowly a bit to cover every area possible within the room.))
[Automatically makes all Spot and Listen checks within 60ft. but just in case: Spot: 40, Listen: 36]

Down the hall a ways, still easily seen by the other two, Jed is frittering back and forth between walls, like a drunk would if drunks could fly. In reality, not in their heads.
Only Jed isn't drunk. Just mildly insane.
"Treasure, treasure, trea-sure! Shiny, glittery, trea-sure!" Jed sings as he bobs to and fro.
"Hoss, you'd better be quiet."
"Huh? Why Denny?"
"You see the Pixie or the Shadowlord?"
"Nope. Neither one. But I see their lights."
Weren't they here a moment ago? Denny switches to Telepathy.
Yup, both of them. Though sometimes I'm not so sure about Flin. He's too good at hiding, sometimes I look right at him and I'm sure he's not there. Though his light is. See? It's over there! Jed points his ghostly finger right at where Flin is hiding.
But you don't see them. Only lights. So what's that mean?
Oh, right... sneaky sneaky time. Wheeeeee! Jed floats towards the other two, but stops behind them about 20 ft. Scanning the walls around him, Jed looks for signs of lives to torment. Finding none - other than Flin or Shadow, who aren't easily tormentable - he resigns himself to speaking quietly with Denny for a while, closely following the other two as needed.
((Not going to bother rolling, cause Jed isn't really paying attention right now.))

After lots of IM Chatroom adventuring, the trio rejoins the group at the animating.
Wanna know what happened? Ask 'em! ;D
Otherwise the animating finishes and you may post about it.

Walking up the party he continues hiding and moving silently until he is standing next to the Nezumi busy animating the corpse. Smiling he stands straight, hands casually in his pockets, and looks at the corpse (as we arrive about 40 minutes into your animating process) "So... still not done with that thing, eh? Taking you long enough there boss?"

"I do think we had more fun than they did, what with all the sitting and doing nothing... wouldn't you say so Jed?"
Flin returns to his idle position above the party. Still Invisible.
Edit: Nick: Gray is my color! ive been using it the entire time so far! lol. I switched you to teal like you are in the other game, so people dont think its Shadow talking when you typed in gray.

Jed looks straight up at Flin and says, "Yes. I got shiny things, Shadow got MORE shiny things, and you got to insult an abberation, a farspawn, and a human. Who all laughed at the Whispered One. Which Denny is mad about."
"Damn right I am. That Raubahn is on my list. My LIST, I tell you." Denny's tone is unusually sharp for a dagger.
"Oh, they weren't that bad."
"Yes he was!"
"All right, fine, probably they were bad, but still, they didn't fight us for the treasure, which was nice. I wouldn't have liked fighting them. I have a feeling it would have turned out not so well. For us, I mean. Without everyone who's here now."
Denny is silent.
"Hey! That wasn't a very nice thing to think at me." Jed too, soon falls silent. You all recognize this as a brief moment of pure peace and quiet, one of the rare things that can be received while in Jed's presence. Of course, for those that know Jed and Denny... it also means trouble.
Between the two of them is usually preferable, though it does mean only a short reprieve, because Denny needs Jed to carry him around and Jed needs Denny because he'd be lonely without the dagger.
Trouble that is not between the two of them is what makes the silence slightly worrisome. It means they are plotting together, and usually, someone near by is about to be taken down a peg... or nine.
"FINE. Sorry. I really DO still respect Him... but I wouldn't be of any use to Her Magnificence the Mighty Corpse Queen if I was busy refocusing us for a day, would I?"
"Always Vrtra over the Maimed Lord with you, isn't it hoss?"
"Well, yeah. Wouldn't have you if it wasn't."
"...fine. I forgive you. But I want a cut of your treasure."
"Denny, that's silly. Even if you are a dagger, you don't cut treasure. That might ruin it."
"Hoss. That was horrible..."
"...And...?"
"I loved it."
((I love Jed. He is my newest bestest friend. He is even betters then Dynn... though they about as equally effective.)) (Edit: nick: OOOOOO SENSE DYNN!! I WANTS SENSE DYNN!! -grins-) ((Sense Dynn is a trained skill only, and it wouldn't work in this campaign as Dynn isn't here. You'd sense him in an alternate plane of existence, very dead. A certain demi-deity of the Shade killed us all. *glares at Dave... er, glares at Dave when Dave gets internet back*))

Glancing up at Jed, and at Flin (Or at least where Jed is looking at for where flin is) Shadow shakes his head and sighs. "Now, see you've gone and ruined the moment guys...People just have no sense of timing anymore."

"Ah, I see they have returned." Vrodash moves, and it seems like a light layer of dust should fall off of him, but of course it hasn't been that long yet. "And so, have you found what you sought?"

"Would I be back If I hadn't?" He says with a slight smile, almost as if indifferent. "So, if you all are ready, we should probably be getting back to the necropolis.. Unless you want to let him finish animating this thing since he seems to be almost done."

(while they were gone) Kir'orr'mok removes all of the necessary items from the pack on this mounts back. He sets up the area with two clay pots, one filled with what looks like dirt and the other with a dirty looking liquid. He then sets a very pricey looking onyx stone in the mouth of the creature. He turns to his guards and says with authority, "I will begin the spell soon. Let NO ONE interrupt me!" He then turns to the halfling sitting patiently on the undead lammasu's back and says, "Start playing." The halfling begins playing a lyre in a song that is deathly eerie and chilling. Kir'orr'mok begins chanting and speaking words of necromantic and arcane power in hopes of animating this creature to serve, through him, Vrtra.
[ooc] I cast create undead to raise this creature as a corpse creature. It takes an hour. The Corpse creature halfling is playing the Lyre of the Restful Soul and auto makes the check for it. [ooc]

The creature's corpse animates with a deathly force after the conclusion of an hour and it glares with dead, empty eyes at you. It seems to possess little to no intelligence at the moment, whether from the trauma of being made undead or through sheer stubborn spite, you're unsure. It does seem to be at your command as of the moment though you're not sure whether it will remain as such. The most likely best course of action would be to return the creature to Vrtra to do with as she sees fit. As of the moment though, it will obey your commands.

"Well, looks like you actually managed to get the thing up and... well I was going to say walking but it obviously has no feet." With a small shrug he continues standing there watching it blankly, his hands in his pockets. "So, can we move on now or what?"
