CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

Rangok hold his axe ready, as his eyes glance about anxiously. "So now what? We've found this place...now what do we do with it?

At Dara's response, the stout dwarf shrugs and moves further into the compound, approaching the front of the unholy edifice. He halts at the foot of a series of wide steps that lead up to a wide "porch" that surrounds the front portion of the Temple.

Before you stand massive bronze doors (Twenty feet wide, and at least that high), held fast by huge iron chains. All of the cracks and seams in the doors have been filled with what appears to be soft iron, and strange runes are graven upon their bronze surface. You note that the writing glows and seems to burn with a silvery radiance, making your eyes teary.

Those of you who's attention is not fixed upon the main entry have noted that the vile stained glass windows of the Temple are still intact, but probably too small to provide entry into the place. However, there are smaller bronzewood doors to the east and the west, around the corners from the great bronze valves.
 

Dara

“Not that I like the thought of entering this place...” Dara says mostly to herself, as she follows Rangok to the entrance, waiting for the rest before choosing a door to open.
 

Even as you sit, observing the entrance to the place, unsure of how to proceed, a cold breeze springs up around you. Thunder rumbles as lightning strikes nearby, and a cool rain begins to fall. The ravens that have been flitting about fly off to the northeast, and an eery silence settles over the compound, broken only by the sound of the falling rain.
 


Coraine has been silent, struggling to recover his equanimity in the face of such overt malevolence. Eventually he shakes himself, like a dog shaking off cold and scummy water, and moves over to the others.

"We need to scout around. Surely there must be another entrance to the place ... and the front door's bound to be guarded!"

"Why don't we follow those ravens to the northeast?"

As he says this, he tightens his grip on the axe in his hand, drawing comfort from the feel of glittering steel.
 

OOC: Hope I'm not finageling too much here, but I'll go ahead & get Doubleaxe onboard, in some shape or form. I'll roll a spot & hide check. whoops, I rolled twice. I'll take the first two rolls. Spot of 3 Hide of 7. I'll let you guys have the first glimpse...

Doubleaxe smiles as he spots the strange entry to the temple. The bandits he'd vowed to destroy were said to dwell within. He knew he had to kill many of these bandits. Only as a hero would he be able to lay claim to his beloved. And, of course, as a dead man, he would get nothing. How would he accomplish this mission?

As he thought, the large half orc, clad in his shiny new breastplate, squatted behind a bush, double axe in hand.

As the group decides what course of action they should take, they all notice a burly half-orc hiding in some bushes and overgrowth a few dozen feet away. He appears to be watching you.


OOC: Pretty much everyone in the party beats a hide check of 7.
 

Coraine whispers to Otto, "We're being watched. Can you come up behind that lummox and persuade him to come out? Just make sure you're not caught in turn!"
