Midnight: Peril in Arbordale

[Toric_Arthendain]

Darius draws his bow, nocks an arrow and keeps a watch down both the left hand and right hand passage. Fordin and Kuknar begin moving down the right hand passage as Elidur stoops to the floor to look for signs of the the little girl's passage. Sera and Groo-Yek stay close to one another and keep a watch behind the rest of the group, alert for trouble from that direction.

After moving down the passage about ten feet, the scraping sound stops abruptly. Elidur finds no sign of the little girl's passage through the area but the floor is hard, frozen stone with very little loose dirt of mud.

Kuknar stops in his tracks and unlimbers his axe when the sound stops. He looks at Fordin, shrugs, and then continues with his axe readied.

Fordin continues to move foward with Kuknar.

Darius Darrowdown Wood Elf Channeler 4

Darius maintained his position at the intersection for a few moments, covering the left hand passage. He was nervous, not used to tunnels and caves, but Darius tried to make certain that the group wouldn't get surrounded like before.

After a few moments, if nothing happens, Darius will move forward down the right tunnel, occasionally looking back behind for trouble.

 

[Mirth]

Reluctantly, Elidur moves toward the right, worried about the left tunnel all the while.

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

Fordin and Kuknar continue moving down the right hand passage, followed by Elidur, Darius and Sera. Elidur and Darius continuously cast nervous glances behind to make sure nothing is coming from that direction.

After moving about thirty feet, the passage begins to open up either signifying a widening of the passage or possibly the beginnings of a larger cavern room. Again up ahead, the sound of metal scraping on stone is heard, louder this time.

From somewhere behind you, the a small voice is heard, as if coming from a great distance or from behind a solid object.

"Help me......"

The fur on the back of Groo-Yek's neck stands up and he begins to growl softly.

"Helllllpppp meeeee......."

From ahead, the sounds of metal scraping on stone grow louder and closer.

Fordin moves forward 10' along the west wall of the cavern, he looks into the widening area trying to see what is making the scraping sound.

OOC: Darkvision 60'.

 

[maddmic]

Kuknar glances back at the request an tries to see in the dark. He then continues 10' to the right and looks around in the dark.

OOC:
60' Dark vision as well.

Darius turns, trying to determined the location of the pleas for help. Not the first time, Darius regretted convincing Thrarn to stay behind at the inn and rest up . . . for Thrarn had the team's torches. Sighing, Darius made his way as best as he could in the growing darkness.

"Getting too dark for me to see back here, if someone has a light," Darius said.

OOC: Lowlight vision
