Feint Whispers Chapter #4: The Hallowed Hills

[jasamcarl]

Tarowyn and Bhartus slowly climb down the pit and descend to the bottom of the cavern (using the rope), landing near the lighted torch.


Tarowyn and Bhartus: The floor of this roughly circular cavern is extremely uneven. Jagged chunks of rock raise some areas several feet in elevation, while other sections are pockmarked with deep craters. The remnants of several smashed coffins lie strewn across the chamber. The walls are only faintly visible at the very edges of your vision. The cavern is perfectly still.

Bhartus says, "Well I think we shall ask the others to come down." He uses hand signals to ask the others to descend as well, hoping the torch provides enough illumination for them to see.

Norri gives the others a wave after they signal to come down. He turns to his human companions.

"Well looks like we're good to go," he says, and since nobody used his everburning torch, he secures it into a strap on his backpack as he climbs down, hoping the light it gives to be of some use.

Upon reaching the bottom he takes out the torch out of its strap and walks around the perimeter of the hole, inspecting their surroundings.

Jericho waits for Whitney to go before descending himself, "Lets get a move on lass', we gots work to do."

Jericho draws his blade and shield, just to be safe.

 

[Mirth]

Tarowyn nocks an arrow and keeps it at the ready, moving just out of torchlight so that his vision will extend that much further as he scouts the area.

 

[jasamcarl]

ooc: just waiting for Whitney's move.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Whitney takes the offered place, going down with care. "I am surpirsed Jericho.. missing a chance to peek up my dress."

Slides down to join the others.

"Been there done that," Jericho mutters, "I have some manners..."

 

[jasamcarl]

Norri circles around the cavern, only to be surprised by four creatures hidden behind the segments of stone that rise out of the southern floor of the space. One decaying jaw bites into the halfling's shoulders as cold claws grasp at his, arms unable to get a hold.

Norri: You take 7. You feel your muscles tense up suddenly, rendering you unable to move (paralyzed).

Initiative: Jericho, Tarowyn, Ghouls, Whitney and Bhartus. The ghouls are located some 30ft south of the party (excluding Norri) and have very good cover behind the stalagmites.

 

[Krug]

"Back with you, foul fiends!" Bhartus shouts. He will try to turn the ghouls.
