Deepwater's Despair

[Erekose13]

[ooc:ah okay I thought when you said: "Ah ha, they took the tree road back... all the way back to the cave." You had literally meant that the tree road went all the way into the cave. my bad.

ps. Fluke's impatience is a character trait not a player one. I'm having a great time with the game so far.]

"We could just try to hack at them too, there are quite a few of us." says Fluke, really hoping for something more exciting to do.

Sargon frowns at Fluke's suggestion. "Attacking the vines would surely warn the occupants. They could lay into us with arrows. Let's head back a way and set up a camp. If they haven't come out by morning, we can review our options. Going back to town for oil might be a good one. If we have the cash for it."

*Tyralis shrugs.* "Enough of us are armed that I would think we could chop them apart easily enough. But fire might be a safer option. Clearly they were put there to deter entrance. Do the kobolds enter here, though? Do they have a pact with the vines? Or do they have another entrance?" *He begins to check for tracks to see if he can answer his own question.*

"I think they go in here. Alright so we wait out the night nearby then head back to town." replies Fluke acquiessing to the other's more cautious approach.

*The night passes quietly, without so much as a broken twig or hooting owl to startle you. As the dawn comes, you find yourselves tired and covered with dew, but otherwise fine.*

 

[Erekose13]

Waking late the next morning, Fluke brushes himself off and says, "So back to town? Hope these vines will burn when doused with oil." He then leads the crew back to town to the general store, purchases lots of oil and leads them all back.

Sargon grumbles as the fight is delayed. "I supose you won't catch me hanging out in a tree waiting for some kobolts to come by. Back to town it is."

*The general store keeper looks at the lot of you bleakly.*

"So, ye find anything of interest, or ye buying this oil jes fer burnin' the forest down?" he asks as he packages up ten flasks of oil.

*That done, and price paid (twice double, because of the town's situation), you head back to the same area, aware of the hungry bloodhawks this time. It takes you until nightfall to get back to the cave. All around it, the forest is quiet. You notice no additional tracks, though the large bones that were in the soil yesterday around the vines are gone now.*

 

[Erekose13]

"Alrighty then, lets get started. All this standing around and wandering back and forth from town is pretty boring work. Who wants to be the first one to toss some oil on those ugly vines? I'll toss my alchemists fire in after we've got enough on there. That should toast them up good." says Fluke eager to head in now rather than wait till morning.

*Tyralis swings his bow of his shoulder, and rests it comfortably in his offhand, stretching his fingers.* "I expect some wee folk might take offense to our burning - I'm going to keep an eye out for them, so they don't interfere."

*He pulls a brace of arrows from his quiver, and sticks them in to the ground beside him, then removes one of the two throwing axes he has hanging from his belt, and readies that in his main hand.*

"I think I'm ready."
