CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Game (ToEE)

[CanadienneBacon]

Jinx casts a look at Sir Merrick, then at Zirat. Tugging on his whispy white beard, the gnome offers, "How injured are you? Or the rest of you, for that matter?" Jinx widens his question to include everyone. "I've cast the bulk of my better spells and could do with some rest, but could also see pressing on. Still," the gnome mutters a moment, "if we rest here for the night, we can let them brigands and their priests stew back in the temple. Only thing worse than preparing for a big battle is the disappointment of havin' to wait for it to start. How are you on spells, Aeron? Ciaran?"

 

[Dire Lemming]

Shoon frowns, still completely unconvinced that waiting is a good idea. "If they were planning to regroup with their allies in the temple, why then did they head away from from it? Has anyone yet found any sign of a passage that the escaped captain could have come here from? I am sorry but I do not understand the reasoning behind this decision to wait here."

 

[Dichotomy]

Aeron looks at Jinx. "I have some spells left, but not many. Which means that should we be injured, I would be at somewhat of a loss for granting healing. However, if it is best to press on, I am willing to do so."

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Jinx grunts and looks around at the others. "I ain't tapped out yet, but I'm getting there. If Aeron can't heal us, then the element of surprise iddn't going to do us much good if'n we're dead. I say we rest. We can work at weakening the cottage in the morning as a surprise for the bandits, should the ever return here."

 

[InVinoVeritas]

Ciaran closes his eyes and flexes his hands a moment. He nods as he reopens his eyes. "I am fine for spells at the moment, but I agree with Jinx that we should rest. We do not have the element of surprise. We never did. So, we cannot choose to catch them unawares. We can only hope they lose their focus."

He looks around, lackadaisically rubbing his stomach. "At the very least, we should stock up on provisions. If they abandon this place, then we have a camp. Come, I'll fetch some water at the well."

Ciaran heads out.

Zirat

Zirat gropes in the crates of provisions to see what is worth taking and what is worth leaving behind, he turns to Shoon and say.
My intuition says they are not expecting us to be here, in this cottage.
I say we regroup, rest, eat, and prepare ourselves to march on the demonic structure tomorrow. IF the brigands shall return we'll teach them some manners.

He grins and tap on his spiked chain

 

[Dire Lemming]

Shoon sighs resignedly and folds his arms, "So you are all in agreement that we should let them go about their mission unhindered... So be it... I cannot defeat six men alone, so it seems my only choice is to stay here as well. If this cottage is as rickety as you say, master gnome, then it may not provide much protection against it's returning owners. I suggest that we wait for them outside, and then surround the cottage after they enter." he frowns slightly as he considers something, then carefully adds, "It may be a good idea to set some kindling or oil about the building in case they refuse to surrender."

Ciaran moves to the well, and finds a bucket and rope for lowering down into the thing. As he is pulling up a bucket of water, he notes something unusual...there is a ladder inside of the well.

Jinx eyes Shoon. "Nay, the cottage is perfectly fine. Old and somewhat rickety, but as you can plainly see," the gnome gestures around the cottage, "in good repair. Someone's looked after it well enough, and recently. Still, it's old and it's got its weak points." The gnome crosses his arms and stands fast. "I aim to sleep in here tonight. It don't rain in here and there aren't as many varmints. But if you want to sleep outside and catch yer death of pneumonia, go right ahead." Jinx winks at Shoon.

Day 6, afternoon - Cottage in the Woods

While you begin to set-up your camp within the cottage, you discuss your next course of action. Meanwhile, Ciaran has went to the well to begin fetching water for you and your mounts.

Inside the cottage, you manage to get a fire going again quite easily, using the chopped wood piled near to the fireplace. Bedrolls are laid out, and Zirat begins rifling through crates looking for food. Unfortunately, the champion is disappoineted, finding only hard biscuits, salt pork, and dried fruits and nuts.
