Ashy's Oathbound Campaign, IC [ARCHIVED]

[Ashy]

Julian half watches the half breed slowly float up the rock while on the other hand tries to figure out the best way he could ascent to the opening without magic, as long range help was never his specialty....

OOC: listen check (roll 6 +5 skill...)11

Julian:

Spoiler

You detect the very faint and muffled sounds of hurried movement from above, but cannot make anything else out.

 

[Ashy]

Kyron continues to scan for enemies that might leap out to attack the floating Baja, his fingers tracing the etched pyramid symbol of his order, ready to unleash the harnessed power of searing light upon any fell thing that appears.

Listen 19+4=23

Kyron:

Spoiler

Your sharp ears pick up the sounds of surprised voices, deep and resonate, quietly (but panickedly) calling what seem to be warnings. You do not understand the tongue at all, but it is easy to tell that the speakers have been caught at unawares. You hear the hurried movements to and fro, the sounds of hooves on stone, and the unmistakable clacks of crossbow bolts being loaded into slots, quickly followed by the cranks of winches.

 

[Vendetta]

Concentrating more on Baja and lifting him gently into the air, Xerxes notices little else.

((OOC: Listen Check +5, rolled a natural 1... so I failed))

 

[Ferrix]

Kiera watches musing the situation.

[Ashy or someone could ya roll my listen check, I'm at a library computer, +4 bonus]

 

[Voadam]

The alarm is sounded, they are loading their crossbows and have horses.

The alarm is sounded, they are loading their crossbows and have horses.

OOC: Are you shouting this or saying it? Remember that Baja is several feet up from you at this point.

(Listen 6+ roll 10 = 16, Spot 3+ roll 14 +17)

Delighting in the glowyness of his newfound floaty power, Baja is exicted to see what else he can do. He imagines fireballs firing out of his fingers! No - his eyes! He chuckles to himself, naaaahhh, it'd be funnier if they came out of his backside.

The alarm is sounded, they are loading their crossbows and have horses.

Scared at these words ((OOC: Whether spoken or shouted)) Xerxes lowers Baja as quickly as possible without hurting him.

"Horses? We could use some more of those." Xerxes says, nervously, as he gets Baja safe on the ground and looking around for any signs of the dangers mentioned.

Sadly, no fireballs, gouts of holy flame, or lightining balls erupt from the half-orcs' body (although some unusual lizard-smelling odors do waft outward into the night air) as he floats in mid-air. However, Baja does spy somethings as he floats ever upwards and sounds, carried on the still, cold night air, find his ears.

As you rise ever higher, you get a better look at exactly what Xerxes saw earlier: the large outcrop of rock hides a deep hollow into the body of the spire. What seems to be a deep cave or large tunnel winds its way into and down, which is lit by flickering torches. You see shadows, cast by flame, moving quickly about and it is plain that there are several draw bows and cocked crossbows already aimed in your direction. You can see the glitter of the shiny black points poking out of the crack between the boulder and the wall of the spire.
