Constables of the 14th Ward

[xedr]

[highlight]"Let's get moving"[/highlight] says Darius, drawing his sword and moving very very carefully ahead. [highlight]"By the way, Alarion, thanks for pulling me out of that thing"[/highlight]

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion

"I could do no less, my friend. But 'tis Soulfetter whom you should thank, for both our lives. Your courage and might are unimpeachable, good Urgant!"

 

[Leif]

OOC, Where are we?

Once again, here's a map, and without those annoying heavy grid lines this time! That single dark square is actually a cursor! Guess I'm the last one to realize that, though.

The party is located down at D,36, fyi

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

SoulFetter

Alarion

"I could do no less, my friend. But 'tis Soulfetter whom you should thank, for both our lives. Your courage and might are unimpeachable, good Urgant!"

"You are kind to say so, though I'm certain any of our group would have done the same had it been I who was trapped by that foul thing.

Shall we be about finding the halfling? We've not been in here long, but already I long for the open sky and room to roam."

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion

Alarion readies his sword and shield, and makes his way north past Soulfetter, leading the group through the passage to the east.

 

[Leif]

The intrepid Constables file out of the room and proceed to the east in the passage where they so recently were engaged in a battle for their very lives. A vague sulfurous odor still bears witness to the recent presence of the Evil Outsider, and the monstrous ooze creatures' remains are still present, a few of the larger chunks of goop still exhibiting token resistance to the liquifying forces, though they are beginning to leak away, evaporate, or seep into the grooves between the flagstones that line the hallway. The boots of the party splash softly through them, and an occasional "ching" is heard as someone kicks a copper piece. Wally pauses to snatch up a handful of coppers, and line his pocket.

The party soon reaches an intersection of passageway. The only sign of life of any sort is a faint cricket chirp coming from some distance down the branch of passage leading to the east. Correction to map: Raul should be one square back from the location shown.

Light Sources! I seem to recall Darius sporting a sunrod fastened to his helmet and somebody, Moru I think, carrying a bullseye lanthorn. Are these correct, and are there any others?

 

[xedr]

Looking carefully both ways before they enter the intersection, Darius says [highlight]"I would guess that the control room for those doors is straight ahead"[/highlight]

 

[Lou]

Raul's light

Light Sources! I seem to recall Darius sporting a sunrod fastened to his helmet and somebody, Moru I think, carrying a bullseye lanthorn. Are these correct, and are there any others?

OOC: Raul is carrying a sunrod in one hand. It was lighted back in the hallway while looking for the secret door.

Hearing Darius' intention to move forward first, Raul asks, "Wouldn't it be better to clear the area to the right first? We'd hate to get flanked while Rahvin is feeling so poorly.

If you really want to move forward first, I'll clear the area to the right after we establish that the area in front is clear."

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion

"I believe our ascetic friend is correct, master Darius. Let us indeed explore the souther passage before venturing to the... control room, you called it?"

 

[jkason]

Moru Sen, human conjurer

Light Sources! I seem to recall Darius sporting a sunrod fastened to his helmet and somebody, Moru I think, carrying a bullseye lanthorn. Are these correct, and are there any others?

(OOC: Actually, Moru used a sunrod, too, and gave it to Retbi to hold--in his jaws when he isn't chittering away; othewise one assumes he has the dexterity to pin it between his paws since it doesn't really require manipulation of any kind)

"I'm all for no ambushes," Moru pipes up. "Let's go a bit the other way and see if we can clear it easily before we head back."
