Emerald's PbP game

Reinert

"Criminy, crud, ogre sucking troll turds..." Reinert mutters as he tries to keep up with the faster, and longer legged companions. He does not falter in his pursuit of Richard, as best he can percieve him.

Kaltide skids to a halt as he exits the foliage.

"Hold up there, dwarf. He's probably leading us into a trap. Lemmie cast my other invisiblity on you, then you can go scout it out."
 

Reinert

"It can't be an ambush - he didn't even know we were here 5 minutes ago. If he hurry, we'll surprise them. If we wait, he'll warn them. Let's go!"
 

"Fine, have it your way. I'm going to be invisible, if none of you want it."

Kaltide takes a round to render himself invisible, then hurries on after the others, who are presumably ahead of him at this point.

"I'm kind of running out of spells..."
 

Cattivo keeps moving, pursuing Richard almost as fast as he can ... there would be no sense in getting ahead of the fighters, after all. That might get him bloodied and even dirtier than he already is.
 



After follow for another 100 yards or so, you can see the burial mounds more closely.

Sixteen ancient burial mounds form a ring on the grassy knoll below you. Each of the mounds has a round opeing that faces the center of the circle. Most of these opening are filled with rocks or a rotting wood panel, but one stands open. A burning torch is placed to either side of the entrance.

The grass around the entire area has been trampled down. A large bonfire blazes in the center of the burial ring. You can see several shapes moving against the flames.

Reinert: You hear Richard continue on straight toward the open burial mound without breaking stride.
 


Kaltide does some quick reasoning. Assume they're hostile. It's safer when you assume everybody's hostile. I am out of spells, so I'm not much good in a fight. I am invisible, and will be for another 20 minutes at least.

What the heck? I'm going to try out this "recon" business Reinert's been hogging. After all, if they didn't seem alarmed at the first invisible wizard sprinting past them, surely they won't mind another.


His mind made up, Kaltide sprints past the fire, the figures, and into the opening. Then he slows down to do a bit of recon and (hopefully) find Richard.
