A world in Darkness IC- Calling Wilphe and Nac Mac Feegle

[Ghostknight]

The gates of the city behind them, the group travels through the short tunnel leading through to one of the surface exit points. Thegate in front of them is opened, the guards giving them stinging looks at the noise emanating from the group, letting you know that perhaps loud singing would not be a great idea.

Stepping forward one of them addresses you.

Good luck on your journey, wherever that mey be to.


Looking at Racid he continues

On you return remember that we would be grateful for any updates on movements of the devils (cursed may they all be) that you can inform us of. As a brief warning, the pickets have picked up movement along some of the margins recently but have not been able to identify what it is. The tracks are different to anything they have seen before.

Exiting the tunnel, you are faced with a clear night, the stars bright but the moon still new and a thin crescent above you. The area is within the old ruins, scatterings of rubble along the ground. Weeds poke through the old rocks, some of them sporting the long thorns and reddish tinge of hellish contamination.

 

[Quirhid]

By my hammer, I'll kill them if they get in my way!, Racid says as he pauses the song.

 

[Zerth]

Gor takes long sniffs of fresh air with his huge nostrils. "Ahhh! Gor's been too long in stale caves and dungeons. He almost forgot, what's it like on the surface."

Looking somewhat dissappointed he continues, "Where to now, what does map say? Soon we go underground again, away from devils."

 

[Wilphe]

"All right, lets knock the noise on the head before something does the same to us," Sychella waves the singing down, and speaks urgently and softly,"We'll be on our way to High Peak, there's an underdark entrance there that should get us close to our desination. If the worst happens and we get attacked don't run back here or I will personally do my damndest to put an arrow in your back rather than let you endanger the town. Go to ground, hide up.
I'll be designating rendevous points back along the route as we go, if we get seperated drop back to the nearest one and wait. The way I suggest we do it is this: I'll take point, Gor drops back off me and stay 10 yards back or visual range if that's closer. The rest of you as a group, maybe Racid as number 3? Falgor, you and the mule are the only two without darkvision, it would make sense for the two of you to stick together. We might not need light right now,", she looks at the sky, "but we might later, Argentus, do you want to take the rear?"


OOC: What does the map say? If they can get to the underdark entrance over night then she'll want to do that, otherwise she'll want to search for a good lying up place.
What's the surface like hereabouts, inhabited or fairly empty?
Lots of brush and tree cover or fairly barren?

 

[Zerth]

Gor nods to Sychella. "Gor do as you say, keep you in sight."

 

[Argent Silvermage]

As you command my lady says the angel.

 

[Quirhid]

Fine by me, says Racid happily. And when all else fails, put the dwarf up front!

 

[Ghostknight]

OOC: Sorry for the delay folks. I should have warned you guys ahead of time - being an orthodox jew I do not post on major jewish holidays and the sabath. Generally this is not an issue but the last couple of days was passover and it continues into next week (So no posting Saturday, Monday, Tuesday). Additionally Wednesday is National Elections and since I ran a project involving elections I am expected at one of the big election centres (MASSIVE boredom on the horizon - politicians and merchant princes abound )

OOC: The area around the ruins is scraggly brush, weeds and a few thorn bushes. You know that outside of the ruins the trees get thicker and there is limited travel in this area. If the scale of the map is correct then it looks to be around three days travel, moving into denser forest before emerging on the side of a mountian. The last bit of travel to the underdark entrance is likely to be more over more open ground.

 

[PugioilAudacio]

OOC: I'm an Orthodox Jew too. That's why I haven't been posting either Now I'll be able to post again (until the next part that is.

 

[Ghostknight]

Service back to normal

OOC Right, now that the recent spate of Jewish Holy days, elections etc are over let us get this game moving once again. Anyone care to pivk up and post what the characters are doing?
