Ashy's Oathbound Campaign II, IC

[Voadam]

Kyron invokes elemental power to protect Tristan, the captain and himself from roasting in their armor during the day.

ooc endure elements on the three in heavy armor.

"Remember we have beasts of burden as well to consider. Do you plan on abandoning them for the air craft?"

 

[Voadam]

Kyron proceeds to gather his things as well as some clay jars from the shelter so that he can provide his companions with water later as needed when they travel under the burning suns.

 

[Vendetta]

The xeph dreads the incredibly hot weather and wishes they could find shelter to sit out the day and travel in nights, dawn and dusk. He is not hopeful of finding shelter soon enough on this day.

 

[deadestdai]

The snores from Baja do not subside as the morning get's hotter. It seems that the half-orc has had his share of blisteringly hot campsites during his previous travels.

 

[Voadam]

"P.C. What can you tell us of the fastness where the asherake said they would have been taken?"

 

[Ashy]

"The Fastness used to be, a long time ago, one of the richest mines in all of Arena. It lies to the south of here a bit and is a massive hole that runs down into the depths, past the red sands, right into the bedrock itself. I've never seen it myself, mind ya, but from what I've heard (and most of this is from good, solid sources, mind ya), the place is near impenterable. The mine slants down at a sharp angle and the Asherake's..." the frey pauses to spit on the floor, "...citadel is at the precise bottom, shielded by spells, rock and water. Also, the whole of the shaft going down is where all his winged minions-" P.C. looks to the prone form of the asherake, "hole up and guard the citadel. The slaves live farther down, in the tunnels and they dig til they die, which usually don't take too long..."

The frey's look is sour and he seems to dislike even talking about the Grand Asherake.

"So, are you seeds really thinkin' about tryin' to get in there?"

 

[Voadam]

"Indeed we are."

 

[Ashy]

The frey scratches his chin... "Hurm....well, you might want to consider a detour first. Ya see, the high-up man I'm goin' to see has little love of the Asherake, but he can't say that in the open, or act on it openly. So, we might be able to gain a bit of....unofficial assistance from him, if ya get my meaning...." The frey chuckles and winks, as if he is liking this plan better all the time.

 

[Vendetta]

"This sounds excellent to me." Xerxes comments, not wanting to straight out attack the mines without ample time to plan.

 

[Ferrix]

"That seems our best option, thank you P.C. As for the asherake we have here, I do not favor the prospect of leaving it to perish in this harsh environment, nor our pack animals. The gliders seem the swiftest mode of transportation available to us, perhaps there is something we are missing however." Kiera soft voice seems for the moment weary, she seems happy that Xerxes has returned from his solitude but her glances towards Baja are less than receptive to the half-orcs violence.
