CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

[Land Outcast]

While Marco fusses about over your wounds, Ragnok and Otto begin sampling the swill that was left behind by the bandits when you slew them. Most is vinegary wine and watered brandy, and unfit for Otto's refined palate.

"Bah!" is Ragnok's reaction after trying some of the swill, followed by the explosion of the brandy bottle against the stairs.

"I'll have to disinfect..." the dwarf adds, as he recovers the bottle bought at The Welcome Wench from his backpack. After confirming its integrity, he unstoppers the weathered bottle and gets some of the strong liqueur into his system to cleanse the brandy's specter. Of course, he -again- offers some to Otto.

"Ye were right, master Otto" concludes the dwarf.
It'd be nice to try that elven wine again... but you can't surrender to the enemy without a fight!

After thanking for Coraine's and Doc's help, Ragnok joins Two Axe in cleaning the tower from the bandits' mortal remains.

"Ahh... Would that I'd bought out every bottle of wine their larder possessed," Otto replies. "These barbaric bandits know far more about savagery and theft than the fruit of the vine. Such a sad state. I'd hate to run out of wine out here in the wilderness. Not a fine bottle to be had out here, that's to be certain."

 

[Land Outcast]

"And I figure they know even less 'bout da jewels under earth..." says Ragnok after dragging the last two bandits out of the tower, there is some melancholy to those words (as much melancholy as you can notice on a blood-bathed wound-covered dwarf carrying two corpses).

Once inside...
"What will da next move be?" Ragnok started to remove his armor but has kept the brestplate and it doesn't seem like he's uncomfortable at all "After restin' we're goin' back in, right?"

 

[Boddynock]

"Yes, we're going back in - but we should try to find another route. Having left our enemy behind us, they'll be waiting for us to return."

 

[Thanee]

Dara

“Of course, we will get back. We're not finished there yet! But for now, let's enjoy some hopefully undisturbed rest.”

 

[Rhun]

Are you setting watches? Who, when, etc? Anything?

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

Exhasted from the lack of blood, a very tired looking Verdis offers, "wake me in a few hours and I'll take a turn at watch." He is soon slumbering.

 

[Rhun]

With the bodies piled out in the woods behind the tower, and the heavy bed pulled as to block the trapdoor in the former captain's room, the tower provides a fairly comfortable and rather secure shelter.

Evening passes quietly into night as everyone gets what sleep they can. Near midnight, Dara and Otto's watch is suddenly disturbed by a heavy pounding on the stout door leading into the tower. A muffled voice calls out from outside. It is rough, but sounds vaguely female. "Come on, you louts! Let us in. We've had a long ride, and we're eager for some rest."

 

[Manzanita]

Presumably Two Axe will wake up or be awoken. He will start putting on his armor. "Delay them." He whispers. "Then we'll give them a proper greeting"

 

[Thanee]

Dara

“Yes, yes, I'm coming.” Dara calls out in a somewhat neutral voice. Then she quickly starts waking up the others and telling them to be silent, while whispering to them what's going on.
