Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gray Shade" data-source="post: 2679352" data-attributes="member: 32340">Brabinger and the horses let inRealizing he still had the wide-angle lenses of Penfold's Precisionating Perceptivator down, he rotated the glass disks and snapped into place the narrow-focus lenses.  The search of the area then proceeded more smoothly.It seemed to him that he counted at least (and not many more than) a dozen sets of heavy boot prints.  The beings who left them were all much larger than my master, and still a bit larger than myself, as well--probably about six and a half feet tall and over 250 pounds.  Either very sturdy humans, or Hobgoblins or Orcs, perhaps.  Either way, they had done quite a bit of woodworking in front of either gate, and had moved between the gates and in and around the fire tower.As he worked on removing a brace, he could tell from the shoddy woodworking that it was probably Hobgoblins or Orcs.I, meanwhile, waited patiently with the horses.  As the mist-like rain began to drizzle down, I pulled my traveling cloak close.  After several minutes of holding my position, the wooden wall angled to one side and opened inward while my master, puffing for breath, and wiping rain or sweat from his brow stuck his head through and waved me in.I led in the horses and stayed between them to keep my master's hands empty.  "Sir, I say, I just remembered that we were ordered to stay out of the upper levels of the tunnels.  Presumably exactly what the Grig was describing to us."  My master, of course, understood that I was merely pointing out a fact and not that I offered any kind of admonishment or command.  We had disobeyed many a condition and rule before in the process of the Delve, which my master and I both understood, despite what may have brought us to any given situation originally, was the true purpose of our being in any given situation.  Reiterated simply, we both understood: All conditions were secondary to the Delve.*     *     *OOC: Which lenses will be your "default" choice during the adventure?  I assume the ones that increase your Spot (at least, until you need darkvision).</blockquote>
