Age: 42
Physical Description: Tall and broad shouldered, Vayron has been mistaken for a solider many times during his years. His always scruffy beard and deep voice have been able to persuaded many a tomb raided from interfering with his research. His skin has been tanned to an even bronze, the handy work of the long days spent in the sun, which complement his dark brown hair nicely except for his blazing blue eyes which are in stark contrast to the rest of his rough face.
Clothes and Equipment: His clothes are that of function over style. A mix of browns and yellows his long robes cover most of his skin. All to protect him from the blazing sun. Although everything Vayron owns looks well worn and bleached everything still functions as it is meant to. The bag that he carries is scuffed and dry but the stitching is as strong as the day it was made. His boots, mismatching one brown, one dull yellow, fit perfectly and comfortably.

The dig site was a huge. Tents and pulley systems had been erected in between vast holes dug out of the desert. Most of the workers seemed to be local, speaking in their own foreign tongue, lifting barrels of sand out of the dig sites, and transporting them to a safe distance away using primitive devices such as rolling logs and camels led work teams. The sands had retaken the forgotten site with only the very tops of vast black pillars visible above the sands. Although this place had been forgotten for untold centuries, what little of the pillars that reached the open sky seems as if they had only recently been buried, with no wear at all visibly seen.
A keen eye would be able to see that these black rocks spread out towards the horizon. Placed in a seemingly random pattern.
Looking several meters down into one of the vast pits, lit dimly by lanterns attached to long pikes planted haphazardly into the sandstone walls of the pits was the very top of a dark stone ceiling. Although most of the workers brandished iron picks and chisels, not a singe blemish could be seen on the smooth surface of the ruins, the light seemingly leaving no reflection on its dark stony surface. Dozens of worker's backs could be seen, quickly and deftly brushing away the sand from the ruins. While dig teams lined the walls of the pit, readying themselves to dig further down around it to find an entrance.
One thing was for certain. This was the find of the century.

Vayron stood inside one of the many tents sistuated around the mouth to the dig sites. Wrapped loosely in light cloth the only flesh that was visible was his hands and head. Long since adopting the ways of the roaming desert tribes such loose fitting cloth protected him well against the blistering sun. Looking down to the table in front of him Vayron once again studied the hastily drawn map that had been created once they arrived three weeks ago. Constantly being added to and edited as new information came in from the patrolling scouting and surveying teams. The map told of a vast complex of building stretching far off into the distance, the borders each over a mile in every direction.
Even in his wildest dreams he could not imagine the find he had discovered here. A entire city, no, an entire unknown and unrecorded civilization beneath his very feet. What etchings they had transcribed from the tops of the black stone pillars was completely different from any other language he had ever seen. Etched into the pillars were symbols of consisting of interconnected circles and straight lines. It shared no similarities at all to any of the languages in the surrounding area, or even the known world.
The most amazing part was not the etchings but the pillars themselves. As of yet, no sample of its building material has been taken. As all the picks and chiselled used to try and chip off a slice off the building had rebounded harmlessly off them, leaving not even a scratch. This fuelled Vayrons suspicions that they had been infused with magic. But the fact that its power had remained after all these years was mind blowing. Vayron had to get into the tomb and discover its mysteries. He had only wait for an entrance to be uncovered, and for his hired mercenary to arrive.

Brother Heinrich von Schaufen
Established
Roleplay posts: 44
Age: 35
Physical Description: An average knight of average height and weight, with some added muscle - a result of the Brotherhood's hard conditioning. Heinrich stands 5'11 and weighs 190 lbs. He has dark blue eyes and short black hair, with chinstrap facial hair. He has a clear and generally cheerful expression.
**********
Clothes and Equipment: Heinrich wears chainmail armor, although it is a lighter type than what most Brothers wear. It covers his shoulders, torso, and area below his waist. Heinrich prefers speed and agility over a tight defense. Leather gloves, steel-plated leather boots, and leather leggings cover the rest of his body. A white surcoat hangs over his person, emblazoned with the black cross. When not fighting he wears a white cloak draped over his body.
Heinrich's round shield is made of wood, with metal lining. This is not like the other Brothers, who prefer heavier heater shields and tower shields. Heinrich finds the shield gives him enough protection against arrows and conventional melee weapons, while also allowing him to move freely about.
He carries a practical steel sword which is slightly shorter and thus lighter than other swords.
When necessary he carries a crossbow, bolts, dagger, and a lance.

Heinrich had been dispatched by the main force of the Brotherhood in Goraia to investigate this dig site. It was imperative that the Brotherhood look into things such as this. Heinrich had become a mercenary for this 'Vayron' contact.
Heinrich traded in his heavy armor for some light traveling gear. He still carried his longsword, strung over his back, and a crossbow with some bolts hung on the side of his camel, which he had acquired from an outpost some days ago. The camel carried a bag as well, which carried some basic armor should he need it. He did wear a white cloak with a black cross on it, however, to signify his allegiance to the Brotherhood.
The Knight-Brother, and former commander of the Aaedanian Brotherhood Chapter aproached the dig site and immediately began searching for Vayron. He was a tall and imposing man of nordic stock, certainly different from those around him.
"Excuse me," he called over to one of the workers, "where can I find Vayron?"

From deep inside the most promising pit Vayron heard his name being called from above. Looking up he squinted to find the source of the noise, not finding any shape he decided to call out.
"What is it?" Vayron called up into the light.
"The mercenary has arrived sir" Came the reply barely intelligible through the thick accent.
"Excellent! I will be right up, show him to the map room." I replied hastly. This pit seemed to have found an entrance into the tombs and where just now beginning to really excavate. The work was fast now as they no longer had to care about damaging the ancient tomb.
He walked quickly to the awaiting pulley worked elevator, nothing more than a large basket attached to a rope being pulled by camels. Ascending out the darkness and into the light once more he once again smiled to himself at what he had found here. Finally reaching the top he stepped out of the carriage and headed towards the map room to greet his newest guest.

"Ah, Vayron," Heinrich greeted Vayron. "I am Heinrich von Schaufen, Knight of the Brotherhood. I'm here to help with your excavations. Just tell me what you need me to do."

"Good morning knight." Dr Vayron said, extending his arm for a hand shake. "I see you took my advice on the change of clothes. Your job is quite simple, you are to accompany my team and I into the catacombs below the surface. We're not sure what we're going to find do there, so someone who knows their way around a sword is a good safety net. You might see no action, you might see plenty. Either way you'll get paid a handsome sum of gold."
Vayron led Heinrich to the map on the table and pointed towards a certain point on the map.
"Here is where we will be entering the catacombs. The first mission is to gain access to large open area about twenty minutes from the entrance that, as far as we can tell, is the exact middle of the entire complex. The complex seems quite stable, so we won't have to worry about cave ins."
Dr Vayron looked up into the face of the knight.
"Do you think your up for it?"

Heinrich shook Vayron's hands. "I'll make sure my order acquires the payment," he told his employer. "And yeah, I'm up for it. Just lead the way, or rather point me in the right direction and I will lead the way." Heinrich ensured his crossbow was strapped over his back, his sword on his side, and his bolts on his other side; everything seemed to be in order, so he was ready to get the adventure under way. "So, Vayron, what is it exactly you hope to find down here?"

Trudging through the desert by his lonesome, supported by spells and enchantments of all kinds, the battlemage in blue armor approached the dig site. Out in the desert to train, as was usual for his monthly routine, he had strayed a bit farther than usual before spotting something... unusual. Human activity, out here on the hot, desolate fringes of civilization itself. Smirking at the opportunity to engage with something new and interesting, he descended a large sand dune towards the excavation site. Just who were these people, and what here did they find of interest?
"Hello!"
He waved and addressed them all from halfway down the dune, calling across the warm desert breeze.
