A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [01]

[Scott DeWar]

"I see. Well, that is something of a relief. Any undead who are present will not have been placed there as intentional guardians, but will be a more 'random' occurrence of necrotic filth. Strange how I find that somehow comforting, isn't it?" remarks the bemused Olcán.

you find comfort in strange things.

"Well shall we go and see what's happening there now, as much as I like speculating and all." Aodhán asks.

yes, let us not terry. we have a contract to keep, and mile to go before we sleep.

[sblock=JUDGE Ryan]Sheesh! Give a guy a little title like Judge, and all of a sudden he thinks he can just feed kitties to zombies at will, and suffer no repercussions from the ASPCA* or the ZPTB**.

[sblock=OOC]I'm enjoying the heck out of this (I was a fan of the kitties as well, but I also like the zombies). Could we perhaps move it to the OOC thread and continue?[/sblock]

Approaching the Monastery

Eventually Almah declares a stop, and the caravan grinds to a halt in a slight depression - a bowl formation that should serve fairly well to hide the encampment. Tents go up, campfires are lit and the merchants and mercenaries settle in. There is still some daylight left, and Almah suggests that just over the lip of the bowl will be a good place to get a view of the monastery.

 

[Scott DeWar]

"we need to set up guards" Harnrey will go to the indicated lip of the bowl and view the monistary, but will walk the parimiter to find good guard hiding spots.

 

[renau1g]

Aodhán will volunteer to lead any night watch required, his inborn ability to see in the dark should come in quite handy. Looking to Houwlou, the Abhac cleric says "You are skilled at remaining out of sight, yes? Maybe it would be best if just you went over the lip to scout around and get a look at any threats there so we can better prepare"

Houwlou Groulenas

Since Harnrey is busying himself performing a Ranger's duties, Houwlou will make himself available to shout out advice and directions to the workaholic wizard while he helps to get the cooking fires lighted, water set to boil, etc., and just lays around some like a big, lazy wolf.

"No, no, not there, Harnrey, that's right, on the lee side, good!"

Harnrey will walk up to the wolf, raise his right index finger and say "Xip-pho!" and ignight the tip of his finger and say, "I think i know of a fire that needs to be lit." the flam remains on his finger even when a gust of wind blows. (prestidigitation)

Keeland

As others set about establishing camp, Keeland finds himself drawn to the edge of the depression. He can't help but creep up and take a peek at their objective. He takes care not to be seen.

Houwlou stands, bares his fangs, and says, "Then why don't you light it, Wizard?"
