"worse case scenario, maybe we can find some palm fronds or other local vedgitation to coveer parts of the roof as well. At least in the drier regeons like this, we wont have rain coming down in sheets.

Houwlou Groulenas

"Since there seem to be no objections, then . . . ."
Houwlou sets about making his plan (detailed a few posts ago) happen.

OOC:

*sigh* it's always the warriors who have to do the dirty work,while the pampered spell-casting types lounge about and sip pina coladas.

Approaching the Monastery?

The other members of the merchant train look on as the Bees harangue each other with the growing ease of association and shared danger. Some of the more experienced mercs give each other knowing looks and shake their heads with slight grins at your seemingly nonchalant attitudes about moving into the ruined building below.

[sblock=OOC]So will you go ahead and make a foray to the monastery now? If so, I need a marching order . . .

(Time is early afternoon. I have no idea how swiftly a caravan can cover five miles through the mountains, so we're going to call it 1 mile an hour with a few stops.)

BTW - Only the roof over the large hallway is collapsed, most of the rest looks in decent shape. I'm attaching a map that will give you an idea of the size and basic building shape, along with the parts you can see from up here.[/sblock]

Aodhan marches steadily in the second rank of the group.

[sblock=OOC]
I'm thinking if only can walk 1 abreast, Aodhan in second, with Houwlou leading? Harney in the rear

Houwlou Groulenas

Houwlou bravely takes point.

"Somebody keep a light handy, please, in case we need it?"

"I have one sunrod left. I can keep it handy."

Harnrey will take rear guard.

[sblock=mowgli's eyes only]serious, for mowgli only please [sblock=for the DM mowgli only]you better be mowgli at this time [sblock=a message for mowgli] I must have had a brain fart here. I seem to have not taken light as a cantrip. is there a way to backward history here enought to simply add that spell to his spell book? Please? pleas oh please? with a whip cream and cherry on top? ( buy your self a dark chokolet shake from steak and shake in my honore!)[/sblock] [/sblock][/sblock]

Enter the Monastery

[sblock=david's eyes only]serious, for david only please [sblock=for the Player david only]you better be david at this time [sblock=a message for david]My understanding is that all cantrips are available to Wizards (you can only prepare a certain number/day, of course). In this particular game that means all of the ones listed in the Pathfinder RPG - those from other sources require GM approval. Since Light is in the Beta, Harnry has access to it. However, he won't have it prepared today.[/sblock][/sblock][/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Marching Order noted. This being such a small group, I'll not worry with it in open or unconstricted spaces of course.[/sblock]

The ruined nave of the massive monastery appears empty as the party approaches. The afternoon sun of the high mountain scrublands pours into the hall through the collapsed ceiling, and from the bright daylit area nothing is visible of the shadowed areas under the intact roof of the rest of the structure.

(Same map applies as below).

Houwlou Groulenas

Before he enters the monastery, Houwlou will draw his sword with a snarl and raise his shield into a defensive posture. "Grrrr, you can't be too careful when entering a place like this."

Harnrey draws his dagger in one hand and has a stick in the other. He then looks down to his quarrel of crossbow bolts and counts them with the dagger point as a finger. with a thoughtful look he replaces his dagger and pulls out a bolt.

Hmmm . . . What Now?

The mercenary squad enters the nave of the ruined building cautiously, weapons at the ready. Silence broken only by the sighing of the breeze through the scrub and stones descends as you move into the huge hallway, but once they've stood a moment the normal buzzing of insects and other high desert sounds resumes.

There is just the hint of a familiar 'creepy' feeling in the air . . . Houwlou's hackles stand on end and Aodhán has to resist the strong urge to look around nervously.

It appears you share the nave with a lone (normally sized) scorpion basking on top of one of the fallen ceiling rocks . . . otherwise this area seems devoid of animal life.
