Mata joins Valana, taking the gesture to indicate she should be as quiet as possible.

Oh. I somehow thought from the sentence "a staircase leading back up" comment that there were two sets of stairs, since if the staircase is the same one one would naturally say "the staircase leading back up". But I see what you mean, he only mentions one set of stairs. I don't quite have time...

Valana, can you tell if the noises you heard before are coming from up the stairs or behind the barrier? My listen skill is bad so passing the buck.

"I suggest we head down then, cautiously." Mata eyes Thurst's hammer. "And Quietly. Marian, you should continue in front."

Mata looks around at the rest of the party. "Lets move on then, before Master Kunstler decides we are taking to long and starts developing elaborate ways to express his displeasure." Despite the dour nature of the comment she still has a big smile on her face at the thought of heading further in.

"Why don't you take a quick peek at it Aeshen, just in case."

I just sent her an email.

Well, unless there is some secret door or passage we missed, he had to have come this way.

Thank god one of us has some ability to translate description into diagram. I am completely awful at it. I flunk the visual memory part of IQ tests too, somehow I bet that is related.

"I've never read anything about prayers to Blurrah surrounding you in clouds of magical smoke" says Mata, "so I imagine the ratling had to have gone further than this when he ran out."

Mata edges closer to the doorway, looking over Valana's head for anyone or thing approaching.

Mata looks at Aeshen, wondering if the rogue will want to check the passage.

Mata walks over to join Valana and Mairan, crossbow loaded and ready. She looks at Valana and then positions herself a little ahead as well as to the side, hoping that if anything comes charging past Mairan it will head for her instead.

I didn't check the thermometer but it didn't feel much hotter than the 30 C (thats about 85 for you heathens) we were having at home before we left, just a little more humid. Not so fond of the humidity but the locals tell me there are dryer places. Where I live is very very dry. Thing is, up...

Mata looks towards the passage that the "enchanted" ratling had returned from. "I suppose we should head that way", she says, pointing.

I kinda liked the heat. Someone find me a job in California.

That is probably right, I had forgotten that because our house rules de-emphasize and simplify combat a lot, and that is one of the things that got jettisoned. It's more like a hybrid between the storyteller system and D&D than real D&D to be honest.

Not as surprised as Mata was!

Surprised by her own success Mata grins and hoists the crossbow in the air a little before dropping it and pulling her club up from her belt, swinging it at the ratling still attacking Thurst.

You need to be careful about that. Friend of mine got her name legally changed when she turned 18 because no one, and I mean no one, not a single person even grandma, called her by any of her legally given names. Everyone called her Semi. Which was what her parents called her when she was on the...
