(Adventure) The Monestary of Saint Feragon <Judge:Macbeth>

[nimisgod]

Sir Ishmael looks up at the ruin. The leather coif about his head shields his eyes from the rain. He draws Violet slowly, letting the rain patter upon the metal head of the warsledge. His shield was left loosened upon his arm, so that he had a free hand to hold rein upon his warpony. The Paladin concentrates to let forth his evil seeking vision, scanning the immediate area for signs of enemies.

"My watch was uneventful for the most part" he said quietly to whoever would listen to him at the time. "However, I felt the presence of darkness come close then fade away into the night. They have seen our coming and have been given hours to prepare. Let us make haste to rescue the monks that still live..."

(or remain uncorrupted)

The thought was left unspoken, for the opposite was a horror enough to contemplate.

Rurik, after a night's rest, climbs aboard his pony and rides at the head of the group. Noting Ishmael's report, he chimes in, softly: "Ours was borin', too."

((OOC: Telerin's spells are the same.))

Telerin stretched some and looked around. An uneventful night was always a good one. Whitefang was next to him, yawning loudly before getting up and walking around some to sniff everyone.
"Good morning to you too, Whitefang," he mumbled.

"So, Cirus is a drop out eh? We have something in common then" laughs the Halfling

Kirin smiles gently. "One can only hope you'll also have in common the companionship of those who value you for what you are..." When she is done tending the dog she lets him follow her over to her tent and lie down in front of it. (though by the time her watch comes up, cirus has stuck his head into the tent to rest on her feet...)

Towards the end of her watch, the gnome peforms a quiet ceromony involving staring at four unlit candles and eventually lighting them while murmuring quietly.

OOC: same spells except detect secret doors as the domain spell...

OoClan as to how to approach? There is a road leadng down to the front of the Compound, the road is perhaps a hundred yards away.
There are woods around the back of the Compound, the trees looking to get as close as perhaps twenty yards, the front (facing you) is mostly clear, with a few trees interspersed across the manicured lawn.

 

[Aranel]

Aranel had been thankful the night had gone by quietly. As she finally stood up and stretched. Working up to the ability to speak was taking longer than she wanted.
"M'ning' Fng." She mumbled a little cold and stiff.
Nothing evil had rushed them, and so she had spent too long away realising just how chilly it was.

Rurik, still riding in front, sticks to the treeline, riding parallel to the road roughly 100 yards away but not on it, where they'd be in plain sight.

"Oi, looks to be trees aroon back. Lessay we ditch the horses here in the trees, and come aroon back on foot, where we c'n be quieter?"

"Oi, looks to be trees aroon back. Lessay we ditch the horses here in the trees, and come aroon back on foot, where we c'n be quieter?"

Sir Ishmael frowns at the mention of leaving his mount behind. "I would rather not leave Courage or the other mounts under threat of danger. Mine mount is staying with me unless our way be too small for him to fit. Should we choose the path of stealth, I would use my skills in animal handling to muffle his cries and soothe his fears"

 

[Uriel]

Bron Bekkle listens to the others and then looks long at the compound of the Monestary. After several minutes he says.
'Well, as far as an approach, I agree that going by the rear route, nearest the trees might be best. We could take the steeds up-n-over the hills surroundin' the Monestary and come unawares from downwind, so as to not alert any enemies within the Monestary. As well, in all honesty, I am an old man, and i won't hear any argument from any of you youngsters regardin this. I will wait with the horses and the brave little Ponies, bow out an I guarentee thet no force o'Evil will get within twenty paces...I kin still put an arrer through one o'them bastard Orcs afore he kin get within range ta do any harm.'

OoC: Bron really serves as a means to get to the adventure, and this would be a convenient place to leave him. besides, who wants a 4th Level Ranger along to mess up the CR XP values...he'd kill the Curve .

Sharing out a half dozen of his masterfully fletched arrows to Telerin and Sturm, Bron says briefly 'These is powerful enchanted, as Telerin knows, though they're the last of the lot. use em wisely,lads.'

OoC:Telerin and Rurik each recieve 3 +2 Arrows. checked, the rest of you don't use a bow, so they got them all. AMG, didn't you change telerin's bow to longbow in the last adventure? I thought so, but i could be wrong. Your character sheet still says short bow.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Telerin looks the arrows over and smiled warmly, "Thank you. These were amazingly helpful before, and I expect them to assist us once again..." he turned to look at the others a moment, "I hope we can hold our own with whatever we face..."

((OOC: Nope, I stayed with a shortbow because that's what I've got the proficiency for. And you know...I wouldn't mind having that 4th level Ranger around. ))
