[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5579184, member: 16069"] Mardred The gate is lifted away, Mardred winks at his compatriots and heads off. [OOC]Anyone who wants to join in the sneaking needs to state here and make a Stealth check, and any other checks they want to make.[/OOC] Mardred shuffles forward, he's only a little ahead of Len in the door way to the chamber. The back of the tower opens before a narrow, rocky defile that wends its way deeper into the depths. A stone bridge once spanned the ravine and the tumbling river (20 feet) below, but has long since fallen into ruin, leaving an intimidating gap some 7 feet across. A pair of trails are cut into the walls of the ravine: The wider of the two climbs up the side of the ravine (the side you are on), while the smaller trail, across the fallen bridge, follows the ravine at the river’s bank. The chill air is thick with cloying mist here, and in the distance you can hear a cascading waterfall. Mardred continues to edge forward, tight to the cavern wall- silently, slowly- edging foward step-by-step... He pushes on. [OOC]Just to note the trail on this side climbs, therefore the distance to the river below increases- see notes on the map. Also note that the edge of the trail on your side is crumbling- obviously unstable- Dwarves can spot this kind off thing. Here follows a map or two as Mardred moves forward. Do not post for a minute or two please.[/OOC] Mardred takes his time, constantly looking around. [OOC]Making multiple Perception checks.[/OOC] Mardred suddenly comes to a halt, takes a knee- breathing hard, not from exertion but from tension, he's spotted something, a pair of somethings, and now he doesn't want to be here. New Maps- [url]http://gallery.rptools.net/v/contrib/goonalan/Dwarf1/?g2_page=4[/url] And on the next page. A pair of Dwarves, ragged and wild looking, armed with crossbows. They look to be guards, and every now and then they look in his direction, although clearly he's not been spotted. Mardred holds his breath, and then begins to back away- he's coming home. [OOC]Another Stealth check and one more Perception check for fun.[/OOC] Safely Mardred shuffles his way slowly back to you, and tells his tale, adding- "It's a long run, wiv no cover- dem crossbows are gunna make der mark if der any gud wid 'em." [OOC]Over to you guys, you can move up a good way without being spotted of course but once around the bend and it gets obvious, and as Mardred states- quite a distance you have to cover to get to them.[/OOC] [/QUOTE]
