CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

[Boddynock]

Coraine beckons Otto forward.

"Otto," he says quietly, "can you check the door over there to see if you can hear anything?"

 

[Legildur]

Kurt rests his longsword on his shoulder as he waits for Otto to clear the way.

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

Verdis watches to the rear, his crossbow held ready.

 

[Rhun]

Otto skulks quietly over to the door, and presses a pointed ear against the thick hardwood. After a few moments he moves to rejoin you. "I heard voices, but they spoke in a language I could not understand."

 

[Boddynock]

"All right, we'll hold here for the moment. Otto, we need your particular skills again. Can you check around the corner over there," - he indicates the corner to the north - "to see if there's anyone there within earshot? Look out for traps," he adds ruefully.

 

[Legildur]

Kurt stands still, sure in his own mind that nothing Good lies behind the door. He whispers a quiet prayer to himself and what will likely soon become close combat with those that would do Evil.

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

The warlock shuffles his feet and tries to get ready for another fight. He grips the crossbow so hard his knuckles turn white and then realizing how tense he is, forces himself to ease up and take a deep breath. The breath sounds loud in the quiet hallway and he gets nervous again. With a sigh, he thinks to himself, Damn, I think I like it better when we don't know the fight is coming.

 

[Rhun]

Otto moves forward, sliding along the wall as he makes his way north. Reaching the corner, he leans around and looks to see what lies beyond. A moment later he creeps silently around the corner, and out of sight...



I'll get the next post up tonight, since my books are at home, and I'm at work.

 

[Rhun]

Several minutes pass while you wait for Otto in complete silence. The still is suddenly broken by cry of surprise from around the corner where the halfling disappeared, followed by a heavy thud and an audible crunch. Then you hear nothing.

 

[Legildur]

"Come on!" hisses Kurt to the others, conscious of the door and the likely encounter behind it, as he rushes to the scout's aid.
