Adventures in Cormyr - The Doorway from Everywhere.

[Lord_Raven88]

After honouring Drullgut Thodan and the others gather together and look towards the ruins, seeing Leonara signal the all clear, you set out to join up with Leonara and Stalker.

 

[D20Dazza]

"Bah! Fool Thodan" Glandred growls "It is orc" she says spitting at one of the bodies "And deserves no honour" she turns her back on the scene of the battle and stomps away towards the ruins.

Reaching Leonara, her temper somewhat cooled, she says "We did well, though there was warnings of a huge orc hoard, far beyond our number, amassing behind some gate some where" she expalins as she quickens her pace towards the ruins, keen to have her blades taste more orc blood "Come on, let's go"

Vardrin is content that the act is finally done. Like the dwarf, he too is unhappy about the orc's treatment.

As the finally get close enough to the ruins to inspect, Vardrin keeps a keen eye on its construction, trying to find if there is anything ususual about its construction. Octagonal is not a usual building shape.

[OOC: Search check with Knowledge (arcana) and Knowledge (the planes) thrown in]

Thodan

Rejoining the rest of the group near the ruins, Thodan notes the unhappy looks on Glandred's and Vardrin's faces. "Tempus teaches us that valor can be found in all beings, from the smallest to the largest. Drullgut was a proud warrior, and deserved honorable death. We can all hope to fall in just battle, before the ravages of age or some other natural cause take us."

Leonara

“Good! The entrance is clear, as far as I can see. There was only one guard left behind, now there is none.”

Leonara then looks at the wolf, stalking behind the others. “Who's she?”

 

[Amazing Triangle]

Bounding into line Jack begins looking for a long stick. He thinks that throwing a stick in with a string might be better than jumping willy nilly into a gate. Jack doesn't put away his bow expecting an attack even after given the all clear.

"Something don't feel right, the hairs on the back of my neck are standing up," Jack whispers as they near the gate itself.

 

[Lord_Raven88]

Meeting up with Leonara she leads you to the north western section of the ruins, looking at the ruins all that remains are the foundations stones protruding from the ground, in the center of the ruins are the remains of an octagonal shaped structure.

Running from north to south is a tunnel under the octagonal platform the northern end of the tunnel appears to have been recently excavated while the southern end is still choked with rubble.

OOC: You are all situated in the square with the blue icon, the squares that are shaded black are where the tunnel is blocked, also on this map each square represents 20' distance.

Vardrin[sblock]
You believe that the entire complex was made with the aid of magic, other than that there is nothing unusual about the ruins, also you believe that the octagonal structure in the center was most likely a tower[/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

Thodan laughs at Leonara's question about the wolf. "Apparently we have a knack for befriending wolves. Do you think that is a commentary on our fine group here?"

Without waiting for a reply, the cleric moves toward the recently excavated entrance to the tunnel. "I'm guessin' that this is the way to this gate Drullgut spoke of."

“Drullgut? Strange name for a wolf...”
