CLOSED Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords, Burnt Offerings

[frostrune]

Jokad's senses are on high alert as he casually puts a boot on the head-like monster and wrenches his axe free with a wet crunch.

He hisses, "Mandraiv, Kael - watch our back (meaning down the stairs). Who knows what that thing alerted with its shriek."

"I'm going to creep up into the room toward the far exit and listen for anything coming down. Hopefully, whatever spell the thing layed upon Jovik and Danth wears off soon."


OOC: Jokad will look into the pool as he passes by on his way toward the far exit. He will set himself just inside the archway and listen for signs of reinforcements coming down the stairs.

It appears that a cave-in may once have occurred, but your guess would be that somewhere above here, perhaps far above, would lie an ancient exit into the town of Sandpoint.

OOC: Can Jokad make a guess approximately where we are with a survival check?

You have little option but to return to the main hall with the red statue. From there you need to decide your next steps ... do you take the door to the north with the squabbling noises from beyond it, or the passages to the south?

"I say we fight," Jokad whispers, indicating the north door. "We have to eventually. Can't be leavin' any of these foul things alive right under the town"

OOC: Danth failed his fortitude check, and finds himself stricken with fear, unable to act (for 6 rounds

Sorry Hewligan; my posting on the weekend is a little spottier than my weekday posting.

Danth nods at Jokad's words. "Anything down here could well be a threat to the good folk of Sandpointe. We should do what we can to end the menace,"

Mandraiv has kept silent for much of the way. His bones creak and the armor slows him. It has been long since he has worn it for such an extended length of time. But you never hear him complain. Though the old man looks troubled, he continues on with steadfast resolution. At Jokad's suggestion he simply nods his head in agreement and readies his weapon and shield. You believe you catch him muttering under his breath while moving his head rhythmically; a prayer to his goddess perhaps?

Jokad searches the faces of his companions and seing a few nods of agreement, he continues...

"I doubt we can get that door open without making a racket. Surprise will be lost."

"But perhaps we can lure them out into this room? I'd rather have them fight their way single file through the door than us fight our way in. Any ideas?"

"Why don't you let me give it a try at least. Let's see if it unlocked and then if we can open it. If we can do so quickly we may still have the element of surprise on our side if they aren't expecting anyone through the door. If you go pounding on it, yes they may open it to see, but may as easily summon help first." replies Jovik

"While a speeding sledge can sometimes be a surprise," says Kael with a grin to Jokad. "Sometimes it's not, perhaps a change of tact might in order this one time?"

 

[hewligan]

I need you to make a move silently check, DC20 to open the door silently. It is not locked, just closed and old. I will also assume that someone has covered the sunrod so as not to bask the room in light if you manage to sneak the door open.

As the door creaks open, Danth grinds his teeth and takes a tighter hold upon his weapon.
