If it helps keep us at full combat readiness, then I don't consider it a waste. Catherine discharges the wand once, and then continues down the hall.

Thank you both. We'll be back with the prisoners. Catherine points to Sepoto. Alright, we need to make for the southwest corner of the temple. Be mindful for any more traps enroute. Your scouting has been very impressive so far. Everyone else fall in, and follow Sepoto. We'll stay 30' or so...

Catherine elbows Kaelan hard in the ribs. (In Dwarven) "Don't provoke them any more then we already have. They don't seem to be overly hostile yet, so let's keep them that way!"

Fine then. What will it take for you to ignore our presence while we get the prisoners out of here? And where are they located? If guarding that treasure is all you care about, then surely our goal of rescuing the prisoners shouldn't cause you any problems. Right? Catherine lowers her weapon...

Catherine touches Kaelan on the shoulder and wordlessly tells him to pause. "So all the other bandits attacked on sight, but you didn't. Which means one of two things. You are either afraid of us, after our actions yesterday, or you are the mercenaries everyone is so afraid of, eh?" Catherine...

Catherine looks visibly surprised by the sudden appearance of the bright light down the hallway. She then looks over to Kaelan standing next to her. "I don't hear combat yet, but let's get up there asap." She then breaks into a run to catch up to Sepoto's position.

I wonder if we are heading back towards the armory again? Stupid temple. Who designed this place anyway? That bastard is probably laughing at us somewhere.

Catherine gently taps the wall next to her to get Sepoto's attention. She then points to the north, and nods to indicate they should keep moving this way.

That's exactly what I was looking for!

Can anyone tell who the last ruler of Cyre was? I've forgotten her name. Thanks!

"It's no problem. I'm just glad it didn't seem to be poisoned. Be careful when you move ahead, and we'll keep watch here. Once your are satisfied that we are good here, we'll proceed forward." Catherine moves back to the rear. "Form up. We're moving when Sepoto gives the word."

Catherine hears Sepoto grunt in pain as the crossbow fires. "Be careful what you wish for..." Catherine advances up to Sepoto, removes the bolt, and binds the wound before applying a charge from her wand. Afterwards she returns to her place in the rearward group. Oops, forgot to add, Sepoto...

Catherine shakes her head. Based on the terrain, I'd say it's far more likely that we'll encounter trapped rooms, and well prepared defenders this time. I doubt that they had time to build concealed pits or trap doors, if that crossbow trap is any indication.

Catherine looks slightly puzzled by the second to last remark. "Huh, I hadn't considered them to be capable of attacking through solid objects. I'll uh...keep that in mind."

Catherine continues to maintain the same distance behind Sepoto as before, but the tension seems to have dissipated a bit. It's possible they did withdraw just as we did. However, I would like to point out that did not withdraw after being discovered by an armed research team sent here for the...

Catherine shakes her head as Sepoto disarms the trap. Well, our withdrawal gave them ample time to setup traps. She shakes her head sadly. It couldn't be helped, but we have to deal with the fallout now. I just hope the prisoners are ok. And what about this artifact? Is it even here?

You and me both. ;)

Hoping the tinge of fear in her own voice isn't that noticeable, Everyone take a deep breath and calm down. We need to stay focused here. I'm sure Sepoto is fine. We haven't heard one of those Chakit sounds, so he's fine. Stay calm. Take your own advice Catherine, take your own advice...

Cool, some DMs prefer to cycle players out when characters die. I'm glad that isn't the case here!

Also, given our recent performance ;) in combat...would you mind terribly if we had backup characters ready? I don't want to have to leave the campaign if Catherine dies. I've got to see where this is all going. :)
