As they pass the statue of Emperor Coaltongue, Rashelle stops and says a brief prayer to her deceased leader before hurrying to catch up with her companions.

Rashelle makes sure she is the last to enter, taking a second lantern and keeping an eye on their exit. Once inside she stays beside the door unless motioned forwards by the others, covering their backs.
 


Once the party is inside, the depository closes the tower door. The noise of the assault is almost too faint to hear, and while it may not be any warmer in the tower than outside it, at least inside there's no biting wind. You see no light or other movement other than yourselves and your lanterns.

Torrent holds her lantern up and looks around. "He should be in here," she says. "In fact, I figured he'd be right here." She gestures to the area in front of the group. "All he's doing is waiting for us. Maybe the Scourge is making him cautious?"

OOC: I need two listen checks from everyone. Also, updated map attached.

"Perhaps. I advise caution." Though his words are spoken with confidence, it is obvious that Hollister is a bit nervous in the darkened confines of the depot. Adar peaks out from the wizard's pack, his ears raised as he listens for sounds in the darkness.


Listen Checks: 15, 16
 

Liiros replies "We should check the other floors. I don't see how the Scourge could have gotten any forces into the city yet, aside from that dragon we saw in the sky. Hopefully that mage's school will have some war-mages prepared to shoot it down."

OOC: This is getting ridiculous. IC hates me.1d20+2=10, 1d20+2=8

[sblock="Korrin, Hollister"]Immediately after entering the tower, you hear someone speaking upstairs. It sounds like spellcasting. If you have spellcraft, you can make checks to know the spell.[/sblock]
After a couple moments of waiting, Rivereye Badgerface makes his appearance descending the ramp from the second floor. As he comes into the light, he looks as ugly as you've been led to expect. He's pug-faced with a runny nose, and he's wearing blue robes.

"*cough* *cough* Good to see you made it," he says. "I caught a cold on the way here from the Ragesian capitol. It's horrible." He stops at the bottom of the ramp.

"Sorry we're a little late. There a war outside," Torrent says to him.

"Well, I'm glad you and your companions are safe, Pippin," Badgerface replies. "Now, it's just up on the second level. Come on." He motions for the party to follow him back up the ramp.

[sblock=OOC]Everyone make a spot check. Also, updated map attached and picture of Badgerface pending.[/sblock]

Liiros holds back a foul look, but can't stand to look at the ugly gnome for very long before he looks away, looking upward instead of at the gnome after a few seconds. His usual smile is flattened into almost a grimace. Still, his sharp elven eyes don't miss much. Which isn't particularly a virtue this time. By Corellon, that gnome is repulsive!
