CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

[hafrogman]

Marco stands quietly in the back and observes the half-orc warily. He looks skeptically at the open armed greeting that the others offer to the armed ruffian, but can only shrug in the end. They accepted him readily enough, perhaps he should offer the same benefit to this. . . man.

He offers a weak smile to the new comer, but no greeting.

"So. . . the temple then?"

 

[Manzanita]

Character confusion? Or did you rename Two Axe?

OOC: Whoops! corrected. He does remind me of one of my previous PCs, a half-orc ranger named Solmon Kreel...

IC: Two Axe nods at the rest of the group. "Yes this...Temple." Two Axe feels a revulsion towards the place. "Perhaps we should walk around some. Check out the ruined tower. The bandits may not inhabit the temple proper."

 

[Rhun]

Looking toward the broken tower, you note that it is in this direction that the raven's flew. Perhaps they have made their roost among the rubble of the fallen upper floors.

While the bronzewood entry doors appear to be locked, Ragnok is relatively certain that he can sunder the lock with a few well-placed blows of his waraxe. Though, he will reluctantly allow Otto a shot at picking the lock first, should the party decide to proceed in that direction.

 

[Thanee]

Dara

Dara shrugs. “Sure, why not, but I expect them to gather at the very heart of this... place.”

 

[Manzanita]

"If ravens flew to the tower, perhaps there's food. And men bring food. Let's check the tower first. I'll lead, if you like. Or maybe the halfling wants to check it out." says Two Axe.

 

[Boddynock]

Coraine is happy with the general consensus to check the tower first.

"Otto here," nodding at the small adventurer, and emphasizing his name slightly, "is wonderfully light on his feet - a handy talent to have when faced with an unknown force in a fortified position."

"By all means, Otto, please scout ahead. We'll be close enough to come to your aid swiftly, should you need it."

 

[Rhun]

Otto flits across the ruins of the compound, sneaking from rubble to bush to rubble to tree., skirting the grove of unnatural looking usk trees just north of the Temple proper. The jagged stub of the ruined tower juts upward from the razed walls of the compound. The upper levels have obviously collapsed, and a pair of ravens are perched atop the place, perhaps twenty-five feet up.

One heavy iron-bound door can be seen, barred and locked from the outside. Arrow slits are visible on either side of the door, but peering in reveals only blackness beyond.

Seeing no immediate danger, Otto waves the rest of you forward.

 

[Manzanita]

"Well, we could get in here by picking the lock, or bashing the door down, or by climbing up and over the top of the wall. Otto, are you any good at those? M'self, I would only be good at bashing. I wouldn't be surprised to find something nice inside." Two Axe glances around and tries to keep his voice down. Despite the evil in the air, he's excited to be here.

 

[Rhun]

Ragnok eyes the tower suspiciously. "We cannot all make that climb. Not with our gear. And we may not be able to gain entry from above." He nods at the two ravens. "Seems more of a bird's nest up there then anything else."

 

[Boddynock]

"Otto, would you do the honours?"

Coraine nods towards the door and its attendant lock. Then he draws his axe and stands ready.
