City of the Spider Queen - The Adventure

[Ranger Rick]

Donedal, comes by, and whispers, "Hush you two I can hear you out on the line, Ionna, if you are board come stay with me I two am a night owl." Grabbing here hand with the ring, Donedal shows his matching one. "Nice to have, so let us leave them to sleep."

 

[Nephtys]

Ionna recoils, ripping her hand from his grasp (ooc: or if he doesn't let go makes a grapple check to escape him). Shocked by her having failed to notice and react to his assault in time her initial reflex to reduce him to his component elements is blunted. Glaring at him she whispers, "The last man who grabbed me like that is living what remains of his life without hands, eyes or genitals. And I am kind and forgiving, for a woman..."
She turns her back to him, inwardly daring him to lay a hand on her again so that she can flay the flesh from his bones, and walks to the other side of the camp.

ooc: .

When the hand is pulled away it goes without resisteance. Donedal naively wonders what that is all about. Than he goes back to the line to watch.

Chance rests as soon as dark comes, but wakes in the early morning to keep watch for some time. He is glad to see the drow have not attempted another raid in the night, and hopes this is a sign that they may have lost interest in the area. Still he is anxious to investigate their means of travel to the surface.

When the sun begins to rise, Chance begins to meditate, and to those who watch even seems to be praying for some time. He pauses in the middle of his meditations to cast some spells on himself and other members of the group and then continues. When he finally rises he turns to the others and says, "I am ready for our excursion."

OOC:
[sblock]Chance casts the normal spells on himself except he casts extended darkvision instead of Magic Vestment. He also casts a spell to keep the party from leaving tracks, as well as resist poison on some other group members. For this last bit I will post the exact details tomorrow as it is 5:50 and I haven't slept yet, so thinking and typing is hard. [/sblock]

 

[Nephtys]

"So am I."

 

[Nephtys]

ooc: Bump, (what's the holdup?)

 

[Ranger Rick]

Donedal, packs his gear and checks his weaponary. Than silently nods his readiness to the others. He than says, "I recommend we investigate the hill for more entrances to the crypts. Once we know that, we can investiget the masoluem than the the door in the hill. What say you all?"

 

[Nephtys]

"More delays?" Ionna says without expression, "Why not proceed directly into the crypts? Let us resume the exploration of the one we have already entered."
She proceeds down the side of the hill.

Kemble stands and reaches up to pat Donedal on the shoulder sympathetically. He then bolts down the hill after Ionna, whooping excitedly all the way.

At one point during the morning Chance turns to the other party members and says, "The drow are notorious for using dark crafts and underhanded tricks. I have a few spells that will protect all of you if we run into drow that have poisoned their blades. The effect will wear off after 10 hours, but until then you will be safe from poisoned baldes and arrows."

When the group begins to head toward the crypts, Chance follows along. "Well if we are going to investigate that building further, I'll check to be sure it is safe." When they reach the building, Chance will investigate the four doors, taking his time to check them for traps (search +16, take 20 for 36). If all are safe, he will open the closest one with bow ready.

Conditional:
[sblock]If nothing of note is in the room, Chance will continue opening the other doors till he finds something of note. If none of those doors lead to anything interesting, he will do the same in the southern building. If nothing is there, he will go to the door in the side of the hill and further investigate it.[/sblock]

OOC:
[sblock]I assumed everyone would be fine with me casting the spell on them, but if not just say so.[/sblock]

Amor:
[sblock]I should note that in an earlier post, I had Chance investigate both buildings and the entrance to the hill, opening them if they were safe, so we should have info on all three. If you just want us to go in the northern building that's fine with me, but I just wanted to be sure that you knew Chance had investigated all of them already.[/sblock]
