DK1: Veiled Thorns (Moggthegob Judging)

[pathfinderq1]

Jehen moved around the tunnel openings carefully for few moments, pausing now and again to examine some point in closer detail. Then she straightened up, and gestured down the center path. "It looks like most of the traffic through here leads this way, so that seems the most likely way in for us, if we want to continue- and like it or not, I believe we were told that time was of the essence. So, shall we continue, or withdraw? Or perhaps step back this way, which seems unused, to see if anyone shows up to check on the doorbell and watch-bats?"

OOC: Looks like, if we choose to continue, we'll have Jehen and Kaz up front- with Jehen checking the route, and ready to step back if it comes to a fight, with Fourbee in the middle, and Alton and Raekz taking rear guard. That sound good for everyone?

 

[serow]

"We are already here, might as well take the next step onward," answers Raekz.

OOC: Sounds good.

 

[Dirk Nightbreese]

ooc; Jehen spoke true on the ASAP nature of the mission. Additionally, I'll wait to advance until everyone has their say though, and you guys actually pick a way to go. good stuff though, and I really enjoy this group and the game. Keep rockin'!

354b is content to go whatever way the group decides. He will walk with his sling drawn and ready (9 shots remaining).

 

[Dirk Nightbreese]

ooc; which tunnel is the group going down first?

 

[serow]

OOC: Let us cut straight to the chase, time is of the essence.

"This way then, shall we?," Jehen said quietly, indicating the more heavily traveled center passage. "But let us stay alert- who knows what other greeting parties may be about..." And with that, she set off down the passage, her attention focused on the way ahead. Almost instinctively, she kept close to the side wall, so that the lantern did not cast her shadow ahead.

OOC: Onward!

 

[Dirk Nightbreese]

Forming up, the group moves down the most well traveled center tunnel at a slow pace, expectant of any danger that might rear it's ugly head.

Upon squaring up with the entrance, Jehen's bullseye lantern reveals there is a bend to the left in the rough hewn tunnel about 30' ahead. As the group gets nearer to the bend, all those with noses and respitory systems start to smell the familiar scent of horses and their droppings. Fourbee is alone in not realizing what the scent might me about what's ahead.

ooc; actions?

 

[serow]

"Well... either we've struck jackpot, or we're all just going mad. I hope that scent is some sort of magical distraction, otherwise we seem to have gone the wrong way. Jehen dear, is that real horse dung in the air?" Raekz asks, wrinkling his nose a bit.

 

[pathfinderq1]

"What kind of fools use horses in Sharn?," Jehen muttered, mostly to herself.
"I'll take a look- try to not wait too long if I start screaming," she added. Then she moved cautiously forward, sticking close to the wall- she trusted to her magically-enhanced vision, leaving the lantern back with the group.

OOC: As noted, she will move forward carefully, right along the wall up to the corner, then take a careful peek around the corner of the wall. Move silently is untrained, so only +1- if possible she will take 10.
