Feint Whispers Chapter #4: The Hallowed Hills

[KaintheSeeker]

"Sounds like an able plan to me." Whitney says quietly.

 

[Krug]

Bhartus nods. "You stay up there, milady, and don't let the cat land on anyone's head as it comes down!"

 

[Tokiwong]

Bhartus nods. "You stay up there, milady, and don't let the cat land on anyone's head as it comes down!"

"I will keep her company Bhartus," Jericho pats Whitney's rump, "You just let me know when it is safe to come down and kick some arse... and don't you be hogging all the gory for ye self elfy, I gots some revenge and a reputation to maintain!"

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Whitney glares at Jericho. "I would think by now you would know better..." grumbles and walks away, Mist hissing at him as she takes a position further away from him. Mist's purring almost a low grade growl as the cat looks over Jericho.

Norri sets his crossbow against a wall and takes out his everburning torch.

"Shall I cast some light onto our situation?" he asks, motioning to toss the torch into the pit.

 

[Mirth]

"I can take the torch with us," Tarowyn says, indicating Bhartus and himself. "Once we're sure the area at the bottom is secure, we'll light it up for the rest of you."

OOC: Hmm. I was sure that halflings had low-light vision, but I checked and they don't. Doh! I edited my post above to relect that gaff on my part.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Norri smirks mischieviously as he passes his hand through the flame of the torch without it being burnt.

"Magic," he says with a broad grin, "It never goes out and can't burn you. Quite nifty I think, a bargain too, couldn't resist."

He hands it to either Tarowyn or Bhartus depending on who accepts it first. Then he picks his crossbow up again and goes to look down into the hole. He gives a thumbs up after he loads and shoulders his crossbow.

"We gotchas covered," he says.

Bhartus and Tarowyn: From your vantage point near the edge of the pit, you can see where the shaft opens at a depth of 30ft, but you are still unable to see the cavern floor.

OOC: Tarowyn and Bhartus should let me know when the decide to make the descent.

 

[Krug]

Bhartus lights a torch and throws it down. He will then make the descent first if everything is clear.

 

[jasamcarl]

ooc: guys, i would highly suggest you use a rope if you don't have one.
