mleibrock's in-game thread for Council of Thieves

Janiven

Still holding the door, Janiven yells down the hole, "Follow Morosino, he knows the way!"

Looking to the barabarian, "Please...let's go!! Hellknights are stubborn and single-minded and have obviously already formed their opinion about our guilt."

With her last word, an axe's blade just buried itself on their side of the tavern.

She leaves her spot at the secret cupboard door and runs to the kitchen to close the door, she starts pulling down any shelf that is not attached to the wall and thows at tanglefoot bag at the door just penetrated by the axe.

She comes up to Anundr, "PLEASE...let's go!!!"

Suzume sheaths his sword and makes for the shaft. He claps Dru and Anundr on the shoulder as he goes. "Make haste, there is no need to fight if we flee quickly." He clears the way, heading down to the sewers as quickly as possible.

OOC: Are their loose torches or lanterns in the room he can grab to light their way?

[sblock=Scott] No torches or lanterns, but there were a few candles on the various tables if you want to try and take them down with you. You get the feeling that they will not be needed however, to even have a secret escape route means some planning went into this. [/sblock]

Way out of his depth, and somewhat scrared, Trevor will follow as instructed.

Seeing that the others have all left, Anundr quickly turns and follows Janiven.

Seeing no obviously useful items Suzume makes his way down ready to follow the boy.

The party is awarded 1200 XP for following Janiven rather than trying to fight the hellnights, that's 200 XP each for you math challenged folks.

As the group makes their way into the secret passageway, they find the tunnel is rough-hewn and leads down a 20-foot long, 5 foot-wide hallway to a simple wooden door. Since Janiven was near last down the passage she urges whomever is first to proceed through the door.

[sblock=OOC] Now would be a good time for those that desire a certain position in the marching order to let me know. [/sblock]

Drulox ("Dru") Xorik, Human, Order of the Dragon Cavalier,

OOC: Dru wants to be in the front rank. Hopefully, Anundr won't hog the whole thing for himself when there is room. In this 5-foot wide passage, Dru will yield to him.

"I say, Anundr, where are we going, exactly?"

Suzume does not hesitate to call up some magical light and lead the way. He opens the door urging the others to make haste. He will march abreast of Dru should they discover a wider passage.
