[QUOTE="Tom Cashel, post: 1941, member: 321"] [I've transported the old thread to this location:] In Flame's tower, the Company of the Wolf finds that they have a few days to recover their strength, scribe scrolls of Power, and study the Art. From the top of the tower, you can feel the cool mist and hear the thundering crash of water from not too far away in the darkness... ...and every once in a while, a distant echoing bark or howl from the south. [COLOR=seagreen]Bronn Spellforger[/COLOR] I'll get this party started (no pun intended): Okay, so I think that Flame could give us the ability to travel in the dark with everyone being able to see... although those 20' halos are inconspicuous in the gigantic cavern, when we move back into tunnels, we're going to alert everything to our presence. Which means ALL of our encounters start out with a surprised attack. We should be able to convince Flame.. after all, we're going on a quest to bring back his dead friend and we need to travel inconspicuously. Anyone have any thoughts to how we could approach him for this boon? What could we ask for? [COLOR=seagreen]Velm Trueforger[/COLOR] Hmm, I beg to differ, Cousin. Those flaming-headbands are even more conspicuous out in the cavern. Take, for example, a campfire. Within the radius of its light you can see maybe 20, 30 feet. But viewed from out in the dark, that same campfire is visible for miles on a clear night. Being in a cave or in the fungus forest would cut down on our stealth problems, I think. (And as for the Should I Stay or Should I Go? question...I'll go with the majority. I don't particularly like this Flame character, but I'm willing to put up with this crypt--uh, tower--if I can find some ale or wine...) [COLOR=seagreen]Bronn Spellforger[/COLOR] Cousin ... I GAVE you a wineskin ... shhh, don't tell Daziel. [COLOR=seagreen]Daziel[/COLOR] OOC: Matt, from talking with Flame, is he telling the truth (sense motive) about wanting to help us? Daziel leans in to discuss this with the rest of the group "I am trying to keep an open mind where Flame is concerned -- and he has, to our knowledge, done nothing to harm us -- but, he did rain death down upon this place. Hate be a sceptic, but maybe he's playing us big. Maybe he wants us to 'free' Shield so that she can free him and they can go forth and be evil again. Maybe he is confined to this tower against his will. We just don't know the full story here, and I am guessing he will continue to give us his spin on events. Despite his apparent sincerity, I am concerned we are being far too trusting. As for getting a boon from him, well, I'm not really interested. I have no idea what ties that will create between he and I, and I only care to be beholden to Selune." OOC: as for the stay/go decision, my perspective on this is that we are behind enemy lines, hiding in the house of someone we don't know, whose loyalties and motives we don't understand, our competators may well be in here by now -- my vote is to move on; sorry, Dave, not trying to be a ass here or prevent you from getting better, but this is really, really a bad time for you to train (also, I think Glen is right about the experience pt stuff).
