Sunset

Ooc- oops, just noticed I wrote dawn instead of sunset, goblins are active after sunset and not after dawn, my mistake, I changed it.

The two groups gather at dawn in the watch room, goblins talk to each other, greet and depart from each others. Some curse their luck and other praise the Mogur for picking them. Those with wolves (only 4 wolves in the tribe) gather their wolf and prepare.
Packing up, the first group that consist the four goblins and the two bugbears take off to the howling forest, stepping quietly as possible through the secretive and hidden back entrance, the third group with the Hobgobilns left in the morning to lay ambush on the road, it will take them a day or two.

*Divine praying is taking place after the sun faded beyond the horizon and the darkness begins to engulf the world, so you can choose your spells witch doctors

Nerrak silently leaps atop Daggermouth as the group prepares to depart. The shaggy black wolf bears the goblin's weight easily, and the witchdoctor directs the beast out of the goblin town and toward the ruins.

Mek Thazug'il (Bugbear Ranger 1)

Mek looks to each member of his group and waves them on through the hidden entrance. He takes a position far to the front of the group so he can scout out ahead to ensure that we do not run into anything unforseen.

Ur'nagi leads the small band outside. Once out in the darkness, she takes up a position up at the front. She makes no effort to stay in advance of Mek, but does not allow the bugbear to move any further ahead of her.

Looks like Ur'nagi and Mek are going to get on like a house on fire

Mek Thazug'il (Bugbear Ranger 1)

Fully expecting the woman's impertinence and a lack of understanding of tactics he shakes his head at her and then points back to the rest of the group.

Assuming that she does not join the rest of the group he nods in acceptance of her scouting position and then makes his way to the back of the group allowing her to lead as she wills waiting for the lesson to be learned.

"Perhaps the Mogur will be be happy when she does not return with the rest, or perhaps he will be more angry that I did not control my charge. The Bugbear smiles evilly waiting for The Deep Ones' lessons."

The Bugbear will follow the group by about 30'.

[OOC: Yes, this is going to be interesting. Fire, Fire, Fire!!! ]

The Tower ruins

Night comes, several stars pop out here and there between the cirrus clouds that cover the sky, climbing up the knoll is fair easy, there is an overgrown weed path that circles the entire knoll to the top. Moving to the top third part is easy enough without being noticed, but owls and other night animals can see and smell your presence.

The top third of the knoll is a bushy and treeless area, covered with the tower's debris, far to the north east you can spot the enormous black body that you recognize as the howling forest, to the north-west lies the great marsh. Down to the south, beyond the wide plains you all spot the lights of the village of Ardeche.

An hour pass until you stand face to face to the ruins, you can't quite tell, but a weird feeling hangs in the air.

[sblock=MAP]
The southern structure is the dome, the middle one and the northern one are the crumpled towers, from what you know, there is no apparent way in to the northern ruined tower, there is a single door to the middle ruined tower, there is a door to the dome structure. A dirt path connects the dome and the tower. [/sblock]

Ur'nage is somewhat nonplussed by Mek's failure to push the issue. She scowls as Mek walks away, not quite sure what to make of his response. Still, nothing to do about it but set off and see what lies ahead ...

Ur'nagi comes to a halt some way below the top of the hill; somewhere that allows her to see the ruins, but remain concealed. There she waits for the others to catch up while she scrutinises the ruins.

"Goblins never come back from here," Ur'nagi whispers to her wolf. "Bad place. Maybe sneaky bad magic, not good honest stand up fight."

To the witchdoctors she asks, "Well witchdoctors, what do your magic eyes tell you?"

To Mek she asks,"How much further did Mek go? Did you do circle around ruins?"

[sblock=ooc]Is Ur'nagi able to see the bodies of the goblins that went before?[/sblock]

Mek Thazug'il (Bugbear Ranger 1)

Mek smirks quickly and points to the knoll upon which they stand and opens his arms wide nodding affirmative. He then points in a path that may lead around the towers and shakes his head no. He does not wait for the witch doctors answers.

He holds a single finger and hand out to signal them to wait, he draws his War Axe, and then stalks towards the southern tower and its entrance. He smiles snidely to her before he leaves knowing full well what is about to happen in her blindness to prove herself to the other males.

Knowing full well that the impertinent woman will follow next to him, he will move behind her when she does for she chooses to be the party's scout. If she does not, he will sneak forward carefully and check out the door to the southern tower.

[OOC: Where is the Red Stone that we need and how much of it are we to bring back.]

Several skeletons decorate the ruin's grounds. The goblins deposit the dead ones over here, around the ruined towers. As for the previous goblin mission that went to this place, no one knows where they are, they are not part of the skeletons that lie over here.

Sneaking to the southern tower ruin, Mek glances inside, The door to this room lies destroyed on the ground, most of the wall around already crumbled, it was a small entrance room, several hooks line the remaining wall, a torn coat hangs on one of them. A closed door lies to the north.

ooc - You don't have the slightest idea where the red stone is or how it is looks like. The high priest's vision mentioned the ruins, the previous party probably went inside you guess, since no one ever saw them again

Ur'nagi sighs as Mek mimes out his responses. She lets him go on ahead. Ur'nagi will wait to see what the witch doctors have to say. Besides which, Mek will be a useful lightning rod for trouble this way.

[sblock=ooc]btw, who else is riding a wolf. Is it everyone except Mek?[/sblock]
