    The Ancient Paths - Path II

    ~ Sabriel ~ Sabriel casts her cantrip on the cavern wall and carries on down the tunnel. It isn't long before she hears footsteps coming down the tunnel towards her. One set of footfalls sounds brash and clanky, one sounds heavy and calculated, and the last seems like soft swishes, much quieter...

    Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

    Calenthang grins as he waits for the trapdoor to open and reveal his foes. He brings his blade down hard, hoping to split the skull of one of the ogres, but is denied the chance to his chagrin. He stumbles back a few steps as the other ogre slams a small tree into his chest; and just as he...

    Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

    Calenthang cocks an eyebrow at Dunstand and looks to Sielwoodan questioningly before kicking the bar holding the trapdoor shut out of its hinge. Calenthang will bring his sword down on the head of whatever pops up first. Woe unto the innocent... Power Attack +2 Whack-a-mole Calenthang style :]

    Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

    Calenthang glances up from the trapdoor to give Laurent a glare the bard is probably too used to to notice. The ambush failed; what's your next plan...? he thinks on the convenience of Laurent showing up only after his sinister companions' murder attempt was foiled. The new one is obviously just...

    The Ancient Paths - Path II

    ~ The Adventurers ~ Dowkan sits, guarding Hrolf's meditation and Nae'talis' studying for what seems like much longer than an hour. At least it's an uneventful hour; or maybe that isn't so great...

    Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

    Calenthang nods his approval of bounding Jahon and positions himself on the opposite side of the trapdoor that the others are facing. If the man spoke truthfully, and two ogres emerge from the trapdoor, Calenthang will do his best to direct their attention from the others. He will attack...

    Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

    "And what was your reaction when he asked you to do that, friend Sielwoodan..." Calenthang lets the point hang in the air, glancing at Sielwoodan briefly between glaring at Jahon and shutting the trapdoor. Good willed people often forget that not everyone else is good willed.

    Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

    "Nothing is coming, friend Sielwoodan," Calenthang answers for the stranger while closing and barring the trapdoor. "I heard signs of an ambush further down," he elaborates, narrowing his eyes at the newcomer. "Most likely this one was sent to lure us in."

    Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

    Calenthang grits his teeth when he makes any noise that might give him away, but doesn't stay down in the hall for long. The less than delicate elven warrior climbs back up the ladder and out of the trap door to report his findings to the others. Just wanna make sure Calenthang can get up the...

    He has a good point, guys... I'm thinking the game is dead in the water, Majin :\

    The Ancient Paths - Path II

    ~ Sabriel ~ The sword is definitely a masterwork blade. It has spent who knows how long in a damp cave without showing any signs of rust and the edge is sharp enough to split hairs. Not surprisingly, it looks to be dwarven-made, with a practical hilt and crossguard, and plain runes etched into...

    The Ancient Paths - Path II

    ~ Sabriel ~ Sabriel scans the weapons rack for pitfalls and pressure plates but finds nothing dangerous. One of the longswords and one of the suits of studded leather armor seem to be more eloquently-crafted than the others. Casting Detect Magic reveals that nothing in the room has any...

    The Ancient Paths - Path II

    Warping the Adventurers “Circle Leader Ali’Shaun, I have a message for you from the honorable Custodian of Apostates,” a Thayan lieutenant greets the Red Wizard with a salute. “Set it on the table there.” He points to a cherry wood stand without bothering to glance at the soldier. To a Red...

    Nocturnum - Chapter I

    Gabriel nodded at the college linebacker and tried to think of a reason not to help that didn't make him seem lazy. "You look to be doing a fine job; besides, it builds character or something," he said as he walked by Steven and turned his attention to the basement. Being slightly older had its...

    Nocturnum - Chapter I

    Gabriel found a spot only half a block down the street from the theater and thanked Tyche for his good fortune. Baltimore wasn't a city the young professor wanted to wander around alone in. One of the only cities that can match D.C.'s phenomenal homicide rate... he thought to himself as he...

    Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

    Calenthang looks at the downed half-orc with a sense of disappointment. When Sielwoodan orders his position, the elven warrior obeys loyally, knowing the archer isn't a fool. Teleri and the others enter with surprised faces, and Calenthang gives them half a smirk for the irony of them showing up...

    The Ancient Paths (OOC)

    Obviously Sunday didn't work out :\ I'm glad you two are still committed. The game won't die; that's a promise. Dhes, Majin, and I are all related and PbP is something of a mutual hobby for us (if that is any insurance for you...). Just bear with me :uhoh:
