CLOSED Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords, Burnt Offerings

[frostrune]

Jokad stands unsteadily on the groaning platform eyeing the eastern passage.

"Jovik, if your done playing around we've some more coridoors to explore."

He shakes his head but still retains his impish smile as he indicates to Mandraiv to shine the light up ahead.


OOC: I'm suggesting we head down this eastern tunnel. Any objections?

 

[airwalkrr]

If I may make a suggestion, perhaps we should take a brief respite from this journey. I should like to make a short trip to the temple to see if I can gather some scrolls for additional healing. These passageways are dangerous and my magic for the day is drained.

If this is ok with everyone else, Mandraiv will head back to speak with Father Zantus about procuring a few scrolls of healing. He only has 54 gp so this would probably only be good enough for two scrolls of cure light wounds, but he will purchase a couple more if others are willing to contribute the money.

OOC: Sorry for the intermittent posting. I'm don't seem to have time to post for all my games every day and I try to give priority to the two I am running. But I am still keeping up with things and don't mind if you NPC Mandraiv when necessary. This is definitely the fastest paced game I am involved in so I will try to keep up with it a bit more.

"I have a few spells left, but I think a few scrolls may prove valuable." Danth shrugs his shoulders. "We can press on or return to town. Whatever you think is best."

 

[frostrune]

Jokad stands on the groaning wood catwalk looking uneasily between the darkened hallway to the east and the two conversing priests. He can't help but visualize the planks under foot giving way at any moment.

He sighs frustratedly.

"If you don't think we can explore any further we could slide back out that narrow creavice and block it up with rubble from the unfinished smugglers tunnel just outside. It would take a bit of work but would temporarily secure all these tunnels. We could then come back tomorrow and finish the job."

"Decide quickly however, before I add my broken bones to those on the floor."

 

[hewligan]

OOC: Decision please. Move on or turn back. Note that bricking up the entrance will be difficult as the first effort was broken down and so all you have is a single layer of strewn bricks. You can either continue into the Catacombs, or return to town for now, but you probably want to set a guard or get the city guard to watch the entrance.

Let me know and I will update tonight. If there is no decision I will assume you are staying in the Catacombs.

Oh, and just flew back from Tokyo ... very, very tired!

 

[Rhun]

"If we withdraw, I suggest that we set a guard to prevent anymore of those creatures from escaping this place." Danth sighs heavily. "I volunteer to stay in the corridor and keep watch. Jokad or Jovik, perhaps you would consent to remain below on guard as well? We certainly can't trust the town guard...this threat seems beyond their abilities."

Jokad or Jovik, perhaps you would consent to remain below on guard as well? We certainly can't trust the town guard...this threat seems beyond their abilities."

Seeing that this is headed toward a retreat Jokad moves back off the rickety catwalk and into the statue room.

"Do we all need to sit watch or just a few of us?", Jokad asks hopefully. You can easily tell which answer he is pulling for. The young shoanti is already planning to keep a 'high profile' at the White Deer.

 

[Rhun]

"Two or three of us should maintain the watch, at least. That will allow one of us to get some sleep while the others watch."

 

[frostrune]

"If we're for heading back, let's get the hell out of here. We can further discuss the guard asignments on the way."

Jokad stands guard by the creavice until everyone starts back through before he follows.


OOC: On the way back we need to stop and collect the remains of the two lost guardsmen. I would suggest carrying their remains on their spread cloaks, a guy on each end. Additionally, Jokad will hack the head off one of the sinpawn and put it in his sack (to show the mayor).

How do you guys want to do the watch? As you would know, Jokad already grumbles how little you guys have actually gotten to 'be a visible presense' in the town. And by visible presense, he means enjoying the adulation of the masses.

Honestly, Mandraiv only meant for himself to go and retrieve the scrolls and then come right back. He thinks it would be best to finish exploring the dungeon now since we've already disturbed its residents. Besides all that, he does not relish the idea of sleeping here in the catacombs and taking shifts on watch. He would much prefer the catacombs be rid of enemies by the end of the day so sleeping here is unnecessary.
