Tamarie the Songweaver
With little explanation or fanfare, Tamarie turns about and makes for the stars, loaded crossbow in hand and an illuminated dagger pommel at her waist. The light oscillates with each stride, providing an odd effect on the wall beside her as she looks down the stairs.

"I think the stairs would be a suitable direction to take, presuming that they don't collapse under our weight on the way down"

Devlin motions with a flourish towards the stairs inviting the others to begin the decent first.

[sblock=OOC] I do apologize for not having the extra stuff tacked on with this post. I am currently out of town AND moving so everything has been a bit hectic. Should be back up to running normal by next week. [/sblock]

Darvus Andar, Paladin of Helerion



Darvus wastes no time in the kitchen, and turns to go down the stairs.
[sblock=Rolls & Actions]
Double-move to the stairs and go as far as he can; stopping at darkness if he encounters it.

As you all stand around looking at each, wondering if anyone was going to do anything Darvus moved down the stairs alone. He reached the bend and peered around. he did not see anyone, but he did not have a good view.

Below there was a crude looking throne and some skulls beside it, in a pile like trophies. It was not dark.

[/sblock][sblock=GM Note]I kinda want to wrap this up, but you all have to step up your posting frequency and keep things moving. Pretty soon the dungeon might just be empty and we'll call it quits because this is not really any fun for me when there is so little activity IC.[/sblock]

Darvus continues to make his way down the stairs, but stops at the foot to peer into the room from cover. Since the encounter with the kobolds he has been quite taciturn. His brow is furrowed, and he is focused on danger he knows awaits him ahead.

[sblock=Rolls & Actions]Move to J16 and inspect the room from cover around the corner if possible. If not possible, step out of cover so he can see the room.

Yosephus follows the paladin down the stairs to provide light.

Tamarie the Songweaver
Holding back on any music, the songweaver sweeps in behind Darvus and turns the corner just a little ahead of him, pointing her crossbow menacingly as the light from the pommel of her dagger illuminates the way ahead. She steps back to the wall to give space for others to pass by with no difficulty.

"Ready, here," Tamarie quietly comments to Darvus, signaling her intent to keep pace with him as the group searches for the accursed kobold spell-casters. "They have to be here, somewhere."

[sblock=Move]Moving to the first square around the corner, K-40, assuming no surprises like 'there's a kobold in that square' or that it's somehow unplayable.[/sblock]
[sblock=Apologies]I'm sometimes a little unsure of when it's cool to post again when not all members have gone, and let that get the better of me. I should have been more pro-active.[/sblock]

Reaching the bottom of the stairs, Darvus still doesn't see anyone as more of the large room is visible. It was a large square chamber with a wide corridor leading towards the front entrance of the building. There were 4 support columns to hold up the ceiling.

Across there was a set of double doors, with one half open to reveal an ante-chamber or something. On the near wall was another set of closed double-doors as well.

As the others came down, they too could see the crude looking throne and some skulls beside it, in a pile like trophies. It was not dark.

[/sblock][sblock=GM Note]Remember that all level-ups need to be finished. Tamarie just reached 3rd level on 28 Feb too (3305XP). [MENTION=51271]Voda Vosa[/MENTION], you need approvals on Muzdum for both level 3 & level 4 now.

Also provide grid coordinates when moving. Or provide a square reference in relation to another character (i.e. 1 sq behind __)[/sblock]
