Excursion to Gronar's Tomb (Full)

[Animus]

Congrats on getting married (well soon, anyway). I'll NPC him when needed to keep the game going. And as far as that goes, there will be an update a little later, now that I have free time.

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Congrats, I wish you both well.

OOC: I thought I was going to do this last night, but I fell asleep .

With your new companions accompanying you, you go down the passage to the right. About 200 feet down, you come upon a door. On it is the same sigil that was on Gronar's journal. On the door, there is some writing in gnomish which says (highlight only if you know gnomish or have a way to figure it out): Here lies Gronar the Great. If you do not have the proper key, do not attempt to go beyond this point.

Actions?

"Okay Grotz, what does it say? Is this the place?"

"mind if I give it a try?" purrs jem."it says that this is the tomb of the late great gronar and that we should approach with the utmost caution.... we have the key, right? she raises an inquiring brow.

 

[ShaggySpellsword]

Lyran looks at the door, unfamiliar with the language written upon it. "So, what do we expect to be on the other side of this door? Will violence be involved in dealing with it?"

As he asks his new companions this, Lyran readies his shield and loosens his cold iron longsword in its sheath.

 

[Animus]

I just remembered Strahd won't be around until Sunday, so here we go.

Taking out the notes from the meeting, Grotzkoshter examines the door, then mumbles a few magic words, and the door glows softly. You hear a click from the door.

"Well, that sounded promising. Unfortunately, we don't know what might be inside. It has been sealed for a very long time. I would guess we can expect the usual tomb inhabitants. How should we adjust our positions to include our new friends? I am still going to be most useful in the second rank."

 

[ShaggySpellsword]

"I am very low on healing magic at the moment, so I will be of little use except as a warrior. If the undead are waiting for us at the other side, I may be able to keep a few of them at bay...either way, my sword and shield stand ready, willing to be used in the front ranks or wherever their employment will be deemed just."

 

[IamTheTest]

Ash readies his Scimitar and Shield.
I have a score to settle with what lies on the opposite side of this door. I will stand in the first rank.
