[Adventure] The Sibylline Idol (Judge covaithe)

[Nebten]

Dane nods good-bye to his fellow dwarf. He then readies his waraxe and shield as he hobbles down the stairs into the basement. He narrows his eyes as he quickly scans the basement for other exits and will lead the party toward one of them.

[EvolutionKB]

Rurdev follows the dwarf down, his keen senses allowing to see a little ways in the meager light. Scimitars drawn, he carefully treads over to the tracks, trying to determine where they were headed and what kind of creatures they could be.

Vashik walks along cautiously, relying on those at the front of the pack to keep their eyes open for any threats that approach.

[Erekose13]

The tracks tend to lead from one part of the basement wall across the floor of the basement and around some old work benches and tools to a grate in the floor. The grate is currently open and propped up against the wall of the basement. Peering into the darkness, there appears to be a ladder that leads down beyond the range of vision presumably to the sewers below.

[stonegod]

We will need light, wizard. Incarnation waits, preparing to follow once the darkness has been dealt with.

[ukingsken]

As you wish, sir. Sneers Vashik with a bored look on his face.

Reaching out he whispers a short stanza under his breath and taps incarnation on the skull, causing his head to shed a soft blue light.

Will that suffice, or would you prefer something slightly different?

[Walking Dad]

"Very funny, wizard!" Riardon sneers at the wizard and takes a position next to the dwarf. "And light in our backs will be of certain advantage... for anyone who wants to shoot us."

OOC: Incarnation always asks as politly as possible. And they always cast it on him. Sigh.

His hood now glowing, Incarnation shrugs. Let us go.

[ukingsken]

Well when you have a better suggestion let me hear it. Until then this will do.

Vashik continues walking alongside Incarnation, not as pleased by his joke as you would expect.

[EvolutionKB]

"W-Would you like me to s-s-scout below before we all descend?" The shifter pulls his lightning blade from it's sheathe, the other hand free to help him climb down.

[Walking Dad]

"Actually, I have. Putting the lightsource on the frontline, on a weapon or shield." Riardon simply and analytically answerst the wizard's rhetoric (?) question.

Incarnation nods at the suggestion.

[Nebten]

If ye can see in dat muck, go ahead shifta. Otherwise I'll lead da way.

[ukingsken]

Vashik scoffs, obviously dissapointed that the rest of the party called him on his gag.

Well hold it out so I can cast.

Whispering the incantation once more he touches his hand to the proferred object and the light winks out on Incarnations head and re-manifests on the object.

[EvolutionKB]

With light on the hilt of his non-magical scimitar, Rurdev places it at the edge of the entrance to the sewer such that some of the light filters below. With lightning blade in hand, the shifter climbs down ladder to the ground below. He looks to see if there are tracks down here like above. He creeps off in one direction, keeping keeping an eye for threats and one hand on the wall to steady himself when the light runs out.

ooc

Rurdev looks for tracks. If he finds some he goes in that direction about 50'. If not, he will go in both directions the same distance then report back. Stealth: 21 Roll Lookup

ooc

Vashik plans to recast his light spell before it runs out as long as Rurdev is close enough

[Erekose13]

With the light affixed to the scimitar, Rurdev positions it over the hole and peers down. The ladder terminates on back stonework about 20' below the basement. There doesn't appear to be any tracks, though from this distance and on stone it would be very hard to spot. He looks around and sees a corridor heading roughly east/west from the bottom of the ladder. Nothing moves down there but a few sqeeks of rats can be heard and the faint dripping of water.

ooc

Got the light, I think the only time you'll have to worry is if Vashik is unconscious for more than 5 minutes

[Nebten]

Dane will continue down and follow as quietly as he can, but doesn't make much effort. He'll go which ever way he is directed.

[EvolutionKB]

ooc

So did I go down the hallways or just down the ladder?

[Erekose13]

ooc

just the ladder, a decision point exists - right or left
