CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Game (ToEE)

[Voadam]

"The tunnel is narrow enough that they cannot overwhelm us with numbers."

 

[Dichotomy]

"I am in agreement with Sir Merrick. Our concern is not our skill. It seems plain that Sir Merrick and Zirat are both more accomplished warriors than most that we have found within. Rather, our concern is sheer numbers. The cultists have been unfortunately successful in gaining recruits."

 

[InVinoVeritas]

"Good, then there is our plan. If we can control the tunnel, then we have a place to return to. We should start there, and approach the temple from that direction."

 

[Voadam]

"Agreed."

 

[Dire Lemming]

Somewhat annoyed that the others have once again ignored his words, Shoon chimes in. "Do we not first need to find out whether that tunnel actually leads into the temple? The lead bandit's actions seem to say it does not."

 

[InVinoVeritas]

Ciaran, resonding obliviously to Shoon's tone, continues, "Which is why we need to examine the tunnel. If the tunnel leads solely between the cottage and the guard tower, then we have a path we can take between the two. The cottage becomes home camp, and we take the tunnel to the guard tower. That will get us close to the temple without ambushes along the way. Then, we enter the temple by crossing the courtyard between the guard tower and the main building--if we have to, or we enter via some undiscovered path from the tunnel.

In any case, we keep our camp away from the temple, and maintain a way to reach the temple without being ambushed along the way. If that's what you think we should do, Shoon, then I will agree with you."

 

[Dire Lemming]

Shoon does a double-take and looks as he listens to Ciaran. "Yes, that is a very good idea! Now we are planning. We just must to be careful around the cottage, I would not trust it to stay up after we so carefully trapped it to fall down."

 

[Voadam]

Agreement fairly all around Sir Merric stands "To the cottage then to explore the tunnel." He leads the party out.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Shoon looks back at Sir Merrick, confused. "Uh... would it not be much more efficient to enter the tower and examine the paths from there? Surely if there is more than one tunnel they would intersect somewhere under it. If we are to head for the cottage now, when the temple itself is right in front of us, then we had best retrieve our mounts and gear bring them there as well."

The "courtyard" of the Temple compound is deserted, despite the feelings you all have of being watched. You make your way to the broken tower, and it too remains deserted. If those dwelling within the Temple are aware of your arrival, they aren't making any overt moves to alert you.
