E1: Tomb of Chaos [Judge: Patlin] [Concluded]

[SlagMortar]

"We could, er, escort you out. Then, eh, you'll be ok. It's ... really, ah, not safe with us." Nars is uncertain why this slip of a girl would want to accompany them deeper into the cavern. He asks, "Erm, how much, er, of the cavern have you, ah, seen?"

 

[IcyCool]

Gorefoot shrugs at Nestiphae's words. "If you come along, stay behind Percy and you'll be safe."

 

[Manzanita]

Percy gives the gnome a sympathic gaze. "Yes. I understand. Those gnolls are pretty aweful and gross, aren't they."

"Let's try moving again. Nars, I want to see what's around that bend up ahead first. Ismael, can you guard the back. Nestiphae, you stay behind me. Gorefoot and Rodimus can go in front of us."

OOC: I don't think she knows any more about the caverns. If she does, though, Percy will be interested to hear her answer to Nars' question.

 

[SlagMortar]

Nars dutifully moves forward to check out what's around the bend.

OOC: Hide +8, MS +8, Spot +7, Listen +4

"Oh thank you." she gushes. In responce to Nar's question, she replies, "I.. I didn't see much. They brought me here after raiding our caravan. I tried to sneak out once, but the door is really squeeky and they caught me. I heard a lot of loud noises outside the door a while ago though." She follows Percy happy to have some protection.

As you approach the door at the end of the hallway you see a smooth, ancient tunnel branching off to the right. Moving down that tunnel Nars notices that the floor is lightly speckled with blood. The bloody footprint of a gnoll is also visible. Up the corridor a few paces the signs of a battle becomes apparent. With his exceptional sight, Nars sees a body crumpled on the floor at the point where the corridor turns to the left, about 15 paces from him.

Ishmael nods to Percy and takes up the rear with Courage (if there's enough headroom).

 

[Manzanita]

OOC: Presumably the bloody footsteps indicate the gnoll was going the same direction we are. Percy will remain silent & let Nars proceed as he deems appropriate.

 

[Erekose13]

(ooc: yes (to Ishmael) and yes (to Manzanita))

 

[Dalamar]

Rodimus does as he's being told. Not like there are better ways to get to a fight without probably getting overwhelmed at some point.

 

[Manzanita]

Rodimus does as he's being told. Not like there are better ways to get to a fight without probably getting overwhelmed at some point.

OOC: I don't really follow that, but perhaps its time Rodimus gave some advice to the party. Nice maps, by the way, Erekose!
