[GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

[Fenris]

OOC: Wulf, no sweat, just trying to be being proactive in sending a roll. I don't want to undermine solomoncane either. I figured you could use it for whatevrr check you wished.

Joshua will move 5 squares down and 2 left. That should put him in line with Brigitta and next to the column. He wants to keep an eye on the party, but also watch back toward the entrance. He Skirts past the snake symbol with a small frown.

He mutters to himself "Follow a woman into the jungle and she deals with snakes. I've heard this story. It don't end well."

While Brigitta and Haskins examine the campsite, Teddy will head west, closer to the edge of the light. He'll try and listen for anything unusual.

Edit: Listen check sent. I actually got above a 10 (my first role above a 10), so I'm excited.

 

[Hjorimir]

Seeing or hearing nothing from his position Bill moves to rejoin the group.

 

[Fenris]

Haskins says "Are we through here Ms. Nielson?"

If affirmative, I will move slowly west allowing Teddy to move forward at the edge of the light as he wishes.

 

[BryonD]

Being as he's found his way into the dark, Hambrick will move toward the group as he can. I assume I have at least a bit more movement left this round. I'll also look at the campsite to see if I notice anything about age or anything odd that others may not have picked up on. Roll sent.

 

[Wulf Ratbane]

Haskins and Teddy crept west a little further. Haskins stopped next to a little mound of stones and held his torch high.

Huh, thought Teddy, listening carefully. He could tell from the echo of the others' voices that the cave did not extend much further to the west.

Joshua trotted quickly out of the dark and crouched down under Brigitta's lantern to study the strange campsite. He sifted through the ashes a bit and picked at the blood with his fingernail.

"A week... three weeks tops."

Bill suddenly realized he was alone at the opening to the inner building. He turned to rejoin the group. For a moment, he thought he caught a scent of something foul.

He quickly sidled up to the rest of the group. "Anybody else want a torch?"

Sorry, I forgot to move Teddy... assume he's standing at the edge of the torchlight.

Brigitta

Brigitta tries to supress the thrill of excitement and anticipation...to remain outwardly calm. She was right. There had been naysayers...but this site was genuine. Mysteries and secrets lay ahead...secrets of the arcane...secrets of power. She feels a strange warmth suffuse her body and drive back the dank chill. Her fingertips pulse once...tingling with latent power. She suppresses the urge to call on the power...to surrender to the calling...and stands instead.

"I concur, Mr. Hambrick. Whoever made this camp did more than stay here...they also conducted some manner of occult ritual. Based on what we have, I am not sure what the meaning of said ritual might have been...but it probably wasn't to make a love charm."

The corners of her mouth flick up at her own attempted humor.

"I suggest we redouble our wariness and stay in close proximity. Shall we continue our circuit of this area?"

She points west along the colonnade.

He quickly sidled up to the rest of the group. "Anybody else want a torch?"

"Naw thanks"

My intention now that I'm with the rest of the group is to stay near Brigitta (and her light) and keep a revolver in one hand and the other hand free and keep an eye out (SPOT as needed) for any threats.

to Brigitta: "Would'a like me to poke a look inta that nest there? Don't expect much is left."
