CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

[Scotley]

Verdis

Streching and yawning in the morning sun, Verdis says, "Well, lets hope the 'place of evil' is less forboding by the light of day. Going on the drinking we saw last night, I'd guess those fellows will be rather more disturbed by us than the other way around this morning." He loads his crossbow and dons his armor.

Marco wimpers slightly as he rises from the rocky ground. He scratches idly at his lank hair as he squints into the new daylight. He shrugs at Corraine.

"We're still alive, maybe it was nothing."

 

[Rhun]

Ragnok dunks himself in the river before again dressing in his plate armor. With his pack shouldered and axe in hand, the dwarf is ready to be on the road. "Where are we headed?"

 

[Boddynock]

Replying to Marco's observation, Coraine says, "It's true that we weren't disturbed but it might be a good idea to have a look around anyway. Dara, do you think you could search over there," - he waves in the direction from which the sound of footsteps came last night - "to see if any tracks are obvious?"

"Then, I think we should 'visit' the bandits Otto followed last night."

OOC: Dara is the only tracker amongst us, isn't she?

 

[Rhun]

Dara does a brief sweep of the area from which you think the noises came from, and it looks like someone was indeed watching you during the night. She finds a few fresh bootprints (human-size) nearby, but whoever it was seemed to have taken care not to leave too many prints. The footprints lead into the woods, but quickly disappear as the ground firms up away from the river.

Day 7 (Morning, outside of Nulb)

Your party finishes breaking camp, and begins their trek toward the suspected bandit lair, following the rutted, broken track that Otto had discovered the night before.

Verdis

"With luck we appeared to be nothing more than the pilgrims seeking healing we claimed to be last night to our visitor. However, if their guard is up walking down this track may be walking into a trap. Perhaps some careful scouting is in order?"

 

[hafrogman]

Marco gives Verdis a curious look.

"Is there actually a healing temple around here, I assumed we were just making that up for the benefit of our inebriated friend. If we claim to be pilgrims on the way to a place that does not exist, any sober man might be suspicious."

[sblock=For Coraine]
As you travel along the track, you notice that there are several large ravens that seem to be shadowing your group. They are flying silently from tree to tree behind you. Every now and then one will fly off through the trees. From the way they keep changing positions and appearing/disappearing in the foliage, you can't get a good count of their numbers. You would guess there are at least four or five of them.

[Boddynock]

Coraine wanders over to Dara and says quietly,
[sblock=Dara]"Don't look around. There seem to be four or five ravens tracking us. Could they be companions to druids or something similar, do you think? Every now and then one flies off through the trees, as if to report."

"How can we turn this to our advantage?"[/sblock]
