Feint Whispers Chapter #5: The Excavation

"Heh, paladins come through and bring the necromancer and his house down, only to create the perfect playground for anyone else who wants to raise the dead. Anyone else unimpressed?" Norri asks as he starts to scramble up the pile to get a better view of the place.

Jericho shrugs, "They had their hearts in the right place, at least, even if they is a little overzealous... course if they had ol' Jerchio with them, I would have burned it all to the ground!"

"Still it adds a distressing twist to our hunt for the blacksmith, as there is no telling what might be coming across our path." Whitney says as she checks her crossbow and slides it into it's saddle scabbard.

"That probably be a wretch, from some deep part of hell," says Bhartus. "And to it the creature returns," the dwarf concludes.

Bhartus examines Tarowyn's wounds to see if he's in need of further healing.

"Wretch is certainly a good name for it," Tarowyn says as he sits down and rubs the sore and numb areas of his body. As Bhartus healing energy infuses him, the elf says, "Thanks for that, priest, and thanks to Moradin as well. I may not be cured but at least most of the aches have subsided and the feeling is returning." Standing, he continues, "Let's get out of this fell clearing."

OOC: I think Tarowyn took 23 total, with the 8 healed that leaves him 15hp down.

Tarowyn: a small set of keys rest near your feet where the dretch was banished.

Norri: you see the evidence of battle as the clearing is littered with dead. The rubble of the keep itself seems most likely devoid of anything of value. On the otherside of the keep however, near the edge of the clearing, a door, possibly the entrance to a cellar is visible.

Tarowyn: a small set of keys rest near your feet where the dretch was banished.

Hello? Hello? What's all this, then? Amen. Tarowyn thinks to himself as he spots the glint of metal on the ground. The elf bends down to pick up the keys, then stops, remembering the last thing he picked up here and what happened right afterwards. "Hey Jericho, I found some keys over here!" the archer calls out to the D'orite across the clearing.

"Wretch is certainly a good name for it," Tarowyn says as he sits down and rubs the sore and numb areas of his body. As Bhartus healing energy infuses him, the elf says, "Thanks for that, priest, and thanks to Moradin as well.

OOC: I think Tarowyn took 23 total, with the 8 healed that leaves him 15hp down.

Bhartus passes Tarowyn a potion of healing. "Get thou healed long-ear. And no running ahead!"

 

[Tokiwong]

jericho moves towards Tarowyn's side, "Oooh nice key elfy, any idea where it goes?"

 

[Festy_Dog]

"There might still be something intact in this place," Norri calls down to the others, "Seems a cellar might have gone by unnoticed."

Norri points out its direction to the others.

"Wonder what a necromancer keeps in 'is cellar... a dungeon per'aps?" Norri suggests.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

"Never understood the need for a dank dungeon myself.. most of the mages I've studied with want a nice tower with a orchard around it or a nice breezy chalet to study in."
