RESTARTED - Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Campaign (tToEE) - PART III

[Rhun]

Ragnok leads the way into the Temple Proper. All is as you have found it before...quiet, deserted. You know you must take one of the flights of stairs in either the east or west vestries down to the first dungeon level. Then, down the slopping hall to the second dungeon level. From there, you must pass through either the Air or Water Temple to the corridor holding the stairway down to the third dungeon level. Finally, you must navigate a short series of corridors to the stairway down to the fourth dungeon level.

You have never before penetrated the Temple to that depth. While the first, second and third dungeon levels have been cleared and are known to you, all you know of the fourth level is that it holds the "Greater Temple."

OOC: East or west vestry stair?

[sblock=For Legildur]Kurt gets the feeling that someone of something is watching the group. Though he cannot actually see anything, he can't seem to shake the feeling.[/sblock]

 

[Legildur]

Kurt enters the Temple with others, similarly focused and constantly scanning. As they stand there, deciding which way to turn, Kurt feels an itch at the back of his neck. "They know we are coming," he says quietly to the group around him. "They will be ready for us, this time."

"I propose the east vestry and the air temple as our route to the Greater Temple."

"Excellent choice, Vicar Kurt," says Trevor, "Oh, and if they didn't know we'd be back after all the times we've been here before, then I'd say these fellows were even more daft than the bunch we killed last time!"

“Indeed. They were prepared for us the last three times as well, and what has it helped them? Nothing!” Dara says in agreement.

“The Temple's might is crumbling, and we are the hammer that breaks it apart.”

 

[Rhun]

"Time for some cultists to lose their heads," adds Ragnok, as he begins to make his way to the east vestry and the stairs down to the first of the dungeon levels.

Trevor follows Ragnok with his lockpicks and tools at the ready if his skills are needed.

Zirat - Fighter/Paladin of Kord

Let me join you Ragnok
Zirat says and prays to his god Kord as he walks beside the dwarf. He scans the surrounding with the ability to detect evil beings that might lurk nearby to ambush them.
The man is a powerful figure, dressed with plate armor and holds a massive iron chain in his hands, clearly the weapon of a master – and he is – he was the former champion in the arenas of Chendl, the capital of Furyondy.

*Detect Evil

 

[Scotley]

Verdis fires up a sunrod, though he can see in the dark just fine, and attaches it to his crossbow and brings up the rear as always.

 

[Legildur]

Kurt patrols with the others - shield ready, the blade of his longsword resting on his shoulder. He still has reservations at Zirat's weapon of choice, but he came highly credentialled and recommended. 'Time will tell very shortly whether he is a worthy replacement for Corraine' he thinks to himself.

[sblock=For Strahd]Zirat detects an aura of evil from everywhere within the Temple, but no specific evil creatures currently reside within range of his ability.[/sblock]

[sblock=For Legildur]Sorry, I just got your PM. The feeling Kurt is getting is not anything specific, just a feeling that they are being watched. He does not believe there is an invisible creature nearby. Scrying is perhaps a possibility. [/sblock]
