CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

[hafrogman]

Marco shrugs and fiddles with his crossbow for a moment before scurrying after the others, bringing up the rear of the group.

 

[Rhun]

There is no threat within the chamber, and you quickly cross the area and proceed down the northern passageway. The corridor proceeds north northwest, and gradually ascends over about two hundred feet. Here, it turns due north, and after about another hundred feet the limestone walls give way to clay walls shorn up with timbers. It ends in an open door, beyond which is what appears to be a dry well. A ladder leads up the side, and the overcast grey sky can be seen above.

"We're not in the temple." says Two Axe. "We have gone in a different direction. Perhaps the bandits are not affiliated with the temple after all. Let's climb this and see what we find."

Two axe will sling his awkward double axe over his back and test his weight on the steps. If it seems safe, he'll climb out of the well.

 

[Thanee]

Dara

“Yes, looks like we are still outside somewhere. Probably just an escape route, after all. Alright then, let's see where this leads to, maybe we can pick up the bandit leader's trail above.”

 

[hafrogman]

Marco gives a dubious look to the forboding sky.

"Who knows what's watching from up there? Be quiet when you reach the top."

 

[Rhun]

You climb the shaft of the dry well to find yourselves in a clearing in the woods. A deserted cottage house and ramshackle barn sit close at hand. There are bales of hay within the barn, and it apparently held multiple horses until very recently. Bootprints in the soft ground lead into the barn, and multiple sets of hoofprints are easily seen leading back out...

 

[Thanee]

Dara

“So much for that. Let's take a look around. But careful, they might have left some guards.”

Dara then does just that... carefully moving closer to the barn and peering inside. When there doesn't seem to be anyone or anything of interest inside, she will do the same with the cottage.

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

Verdis will remain alert and keep an eye out for trouble outside while others are searching.

 

[Manzanita]

Two axe will accompany Dara, staying close and helping her search, axe at ready. He's not inclined to follow the bandit leader's horse, lacking speed and tracking ability. It's a shame, though. Would be nice to know where he'd fled to.

 

[Rhun]

Everything is empty and deserted, though the cottage does show some signs of recent habitation. A few dirty dishes and half full bottles of wine can be found littering the place.
