[LPF] Rodents of Unusual Size, pt 2

[BigB]

"Yes we should move on we have more to roast by the sounds. You know I think the food was left for the Moretti ancestors. This is a pretty old place and this could be a variation of a common Venzan religious observance from the period of construction. Well I wonder if the know they are feeding the rats? Yes its possible, anyway we have work to do."

Cruendithas will move back far enough to allow the others room to move on and he will fall into place behind Hawk again.

"That would explain why they keep coming into the crypt. But now we should indeed keep moving, lest they come upon us and traps us with no way out." He nocked another bolt to the bow and left the Triclinium with the others.

[Aura]

Torchlight laps at the darkness as the group steps out of the Triclinium and into the Rotunda again. Frescos continue in this chamber, this time seemingly recording a battle between some demons and what appears to be Venzan citizens.

For you, however, your own battle most likely is down the stairs to the west--it's the only way you haven't been. Sounds of ratty commotion, although continuing, fade as the moments pass. Certainly, it's not as boisterous as the initial uproar following the explosion.

Hawk, Little Halfling with a Big Sword

Hawk heads through the Rotunda toward the stairs followed by the others. Once she arrives at the stairs she turns to her companions. "How long will those torches last? Did you grab spare ones for when those go out?"

Looking Down the Stairs

Hawk peers curiously down the stairwell. Stairs lead downward as far as the eye can see, which isn't as far as one would like, given the limited range of torchlight and the fact that neither torchbearer has yet caught up with the quick moving (and somewhat brash) halfling warrior. It is possible that the stairs split some 20 to 25-ish feet from her position at the top, but it's hard to tell. And for a moment, Hawk thinks she hears spashing water.

About where the stairs split, the ground moves. Somewhere behind Hawk, Alec's torch flickers and threatens to go out, but then returns to its previous light intensity.

 

[BigB]

Cruendithas moves behind Hawk to take up his position. "I can cast a light spell that will move ahead of us but it will only last a short while and I can only cast it once per day. I was trying to save it for a time of real need but perhaps it is good to know what is ahead as we move down the stairs. What do you all think?"

 

[Aura]

Shedding Some Light

As Cruendithas steps up behind Hawk, torchlight fills the ten foot wide stairwell down. Although the light is considerably dimmer at a distance, Cruendithas can see a few rats briefly illuminated before they skitter away into the darkness. The stairs do, in fact, split after going about 20 feet, and seem to continue on along the north and south walls of a chamber of some sort. It's hard to tell from here.

[sblock=Cruendithas Only]
Thanks to sharp, night-trained gnomish eyes, Cruendithas can tell these rats were most likely smaller than the one seen before.

[sblock=Hawk Only]
Shadows jump and move to the movement of the torch, and those rats could have been any size... but probably not bigger than the one you saw in the Triclinium.

[BigB]

Cruendithas looks down the stairs "There are rats down here although the ones I could see seem a bit smaller than the one we encountered a moment ago. They seem to dislike the light as they skitter away from the torchlight."

[sblock]Cruendithas will keep his place behind Hawk if she moves forward down the stairs.[/sblock]

Wahyu started grinning again, "Then they should present no true problem then, unless they use their numbers to swarm us. Although, if the good doctor has any more of those fire bombs, then we should make short work of it and be back before supper. As for light, these are the stairs up as well, though it makes no matter to me."

 

[BokaliMali]

Alec finished congratulating himself on the explosivness of his bomb, realized he was being left behind and jogs forward to catch up with the others.you guys see that? "Did you guys see that? It actually blew up! I've never been able to-" Alec caught himself and shifted gears "uh, witness the uh, effects of... incendiaries on creatures of the uh, giant... rat... genus. Before." Alec shuts his mouth and glares ahead of the group.
