CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

[Rhun]

Nodding to the newest member of the group, Coraine then moves to the door they had examined previously, and listens at it before attempting to open it.

Coraine hears what sounds like a heated debate going on behind the door: low, angry, guttural voices. He doesn't understand the language being spoken, though.

 

[Leif]

Trevor Champlaign

Coraine takes a moment to detect evil. His eyes shift to a distant focus as he examines the newcomer's aura. Satisfied that Trevor is not a person of ill will.

"What do you hear?" Trevor whispers quietly. Out of an overabundance of caution, and because old habits die hard, Trevor will look for traps on or around the door and its immediate environs. (Search: +8)

 

[Scotley]

"Well met and welcom Trevor. Any enemy of my enemy is a friend of mine." He smiles and waits to see what Coraine discovers. "Verdis Amnell," he adds as an afterthought. A handsome young man of average build. He is lithe and wiry and walks with a confident stride. He wears his almost white blonde hair cut short with a small goette. He is obviously of Suel decent. He has a somewhat distracted air and pale gray eyes that often seem out of focus or to be looking at something unseen by others. He is dressed in a chain shirt with dark red clothes patterned with his personal symbol, a noble pheasant in gold, green and brown taking flight. Next to his dagger hangs a wickedly spiked steel ball on a stout red oak handle. He carries a heavy crossbow cocked and loaded in his hands. A lit sunrod is lashed to the crossbow providing light for the group.

Trevor Champlaign

Trevor continues in very hushed tones, "I am honored to make your acquaintance, Verdis! I hope to soon earn the right to learn the names of all of the rest of you as well. But, for now, let us concentrate on the challenge immediately before us. So I ask again, sir, what did you hear?"

 

[Rhun]

Trevor quickly checks the door, finding no traps. However, the voices inside the chamber suddenly cut off...perhaps they heard your shuffling about and talking?

 

[Leif]

Trevor Champlaign

Trevor tests the weight of his sword, adjusts his grip on the pommel, and readies for battle, but then he thinks, "If they were already talking in there, how could they have heard our soft words through the door? Perhaps they have very sensitive ears?

 

[Rhun]

The bloody and bruised Ragnok grips Norryjar tightly and looks toward Coraine. "Do we continue the fight, or do we withdraw?"

[Boddynock]

Coraine answers Trevor's question. "I hear angry voices, raised in argument."

He takes a breath to reply to Ragnok, then puts his head on one side. A wry smile wreathes his lips as he realizes that they've probably been sprung.

"I think that choice has just been taken out of our hands. Kurt, please use the wand on Ragnok. And you, dwarf," he smiles, to take the sting from his words, "stay at the back for a while - let the healing have time to happen!"

He then kicks open the door and charges into the room.

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

Still flushed with success from the battle with elemental, Verdis raises his crossbow and starts looking for a clear target to fire on.

 

[Legildur]

Kurt immediately uses the Wand of Cure Light Wounds on Ragnok, embarrassed that he hadn't fully appreciated the dwarf's condition.

ooc: actually meant to do that immediately after the elemental was destroyed!
