[Eberron] The Forgotten Forge

[Old Fezziwig]

The fighting stops at Plonk's yell. All is still, except for the occasional sound of the crashing water. [Listen checks]

Gannon:

Spoiler

You can hear low and wide plopping noises, almost as if a few people were trying to be extremely stealthy while wading through a pool of shallow water.

 

[Krug]

Plonk readies his crossbow, just in case. "I know you're down there! We'll... we'll be nice!"

 

[MadMaxim]

"They're coming closer. Ready yourselves. I believe our attacker brought some friends along." Gannon readies his morningstar and shield for another round of combat. "Drop your weapons, come out with your hands above your head, and we will not harm you!" Gannon says while he looks at Rawhide. "Please don't attack them before they've had a chance to surrender, Rawhide..."

 

[Ashy]

Rawhide looks like a child who just had his favorite new toy taken away. He frowns comically, "Awwwww, com'ON, boss! Dat's no fun...." He shuffle-kicks a the stone floor....

 

[Old Fezziwig]

You wait. And wait. And wait. Nothing comes. No sounds can be heard, save for the water crashing on the stone.

Gannon:

Spoiler

You can't even hear the plop-plopping of their footsteps.

 

[Krug]

"Do we follow?" says Plonk. "Perhaps if we shone some light down there... We know you're there! We can see you. All of you! We...we have cannons! BIG CANNONS!"

 

[Ashy]

Rawhide looks around with a puzzled look on his face. "Mes don't sees none, boss...", he whispers to Gannon...

 

[Knight Otu]

"We have cannons? Don't you mean Gannon?"

 

[MadMaxim]

Gannon turns toward Flawed staring at him angrily. "Well, I see you haven't heard about the concept of bluffing, Flawed, and unfortunately I don't have time to explain it to you right now. We'll take the issue up later, because you have something to learn about the world, I believe. No offense, of course." Then he turns toward Rawhide. "Let me just get a chance to pinpoint their position, before you go in, Rawhide." Gannon picks up a stone from the floor, makes a couple of gestures and speaks a little prayer to The Traveler (he casts light on the stone) and throws it down the tunnel past the valves in the direction from which the voices came. He then readies his morningstar and shield.

 

[Ashy]

"Otay, boss...", the shifter shrugs...
