Feint Whispers Chapter #4: The Hallowed Hills

[Mirth]

OOC: Restocking my arrows. Man, should have gotten that Quiver of Ehlonna last time. Guess it'll be next on my list.

 

[Tokiwong]

Jericho rests until it is time to leave, he is solemn and pays his respects to the fallen priests... but more determined to find Brother Durham, alive...

 

[Festy_Dog]

Norri takes some time to chill out. Wandering the halls of the monks' residence and soaking in their way of life. He takes some time to fix nicks in his armour and adjust the string on his crossbow before they go back in.

 

[Krug]

Bhartus tries to ask around if the priests know what creature could have did what it did to the two brothers. After that, he will reenter the tunnels.

The party rests and restocks during the night as the bodies of the young acolytes are given a ceremonial burial in line with the secret rites of the Order. Upon Bhartus' questioning, all the brothers confess ignorance as to what could have been responsible for the removal of the Brothers' blood.

Early next morning, the Fists reenter the cavern, making their way back to the cavern with the Fungi. A short while after entering the southern exit, they come upon a domed shaped cavern, some 80ft in diameter, with the ceiling rising 25ft over their heads. A chasm (10ft wide) stretches across the center of this cavern from east to west, splitting it neatly in half. Overgrown stalactites and stalagmites clutter the chamber near the periphery of the torchlight, making it seem like a pair of giant, open jaws.

Tarowyn and Bhartus: Near the center of the room across the chasm you spot two orcs standing near a campfire, both armed with javelins, which they raise to attack.

Grunts can be heard past the light of the torch, coming from the south side of the cavern.

Initiative: Tarowyn, Orcs, Jericho, Whitney, Norri, Bhartus.

 

[Tokiwong]

Jericho growls, his blade and shield already, ready, "Hmm orcs, this should be interesting eh, elfy? Lets kill them till they are dead!"

If the orcs are far enough away, then Jericho will use his shortbow, but if they are within 30 feet he will move 20 forward and ready an action to attack if one of the rocs gets into range of his sword.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Whitney unlimbers her crossbow and takes aim, either at any orc that looks like a missile shooter or a caster, then any potential flankers.

 

[Krug]

"Perhaps we should try to keep them to the chasm," says Bhartus. "It sounds like more of their fellows will be joining them soon!"

Bhartus will fire his crossbow at the orcs.

 

[Mirth]

"Perhaps we should try to keep them to the chasm," says Bhartus. "It sounds like more of their fellows will be joining them soon!"

Bhartus will fire his crossbow at the orcs.

"Good idea, priest," Tarowyn says as he lets fly with two arrows, one towards each of the two orcs. "Maybe you or Whitney can hit a bunch of them with a big spell."

 

[Festy_Dog]

Norri moves forward quietly, trying to find a stalagmite for cover from where he can see their opponents. He raises his crossbow to his shoulder and lets a bolt off at the closest orc.
