Hollow's Last Hope [IC]

Through a dry throat and mouth, Cyryn whispers "Worst.....day......ever.".

ooc: Well, so much for any party damage! Everyone is now at full strength! hero4hire, thanks for noting the casting of those two spells on Jared's sheet.

Jared's goddess again faithfully answers his prayers, and soon his companions are hale and hearty once more. Cyryn awakes as though from a deep sleep, with not a scratch on him. This does not stop him from complaining, however. The contusion on Hakkara's arm, a legacy of the strange, animated cauldron in the witch's hut, also is no more.

Soon, the party is ready to make way into the monastery without further delay. Breaking camp, the group proceeds toward the dilapidated structure.

The old path that leads up to the ruins ends about 50 feet from the monastery. Before entering the yard, the path passes between a pair of old stone statues. While one of them is little more than rubble, the other is relatively intact. The 5-foot tall statue is incredibly worn but it can still be made out as a dwarf holding aloft a great stone hammer. Moss and creeper vines cover most of its surface. Underneath the vines around the base an old dwarven inscription can still be seen.
[sblock=Jebbo and Cyryn, dwarven language]The inscription reads, “All praise, [this part is defaced].” Unfortunately, the missing name has been scratched off and is no longer legible.[/sblock]
A few lone razorcrows roost atop the tower and caw nastily at those who have entered their domain.

Your actions?

At the lull before entering Loricallior extends his dragonmagic enhanced keen elven hearing to note if there is the sound of anything besides the crows this morning.

Loricallior smiles broadly "Welcome back! Saved from the jaws of certain death, I'd say it was a great day."

 

[Insight]

Hakkara notes the bashed down doors forming the entrance to the monastery. "No sense waiting around here," she announces and starts towards the doors.

When within 20ft of the doors, Hakkara draws her bastard sword and awaits her companions.

Loricallior doesn't hear anything else.

"Seems someone doesn't like the patron of this monastery,"Cyryn says as he gazes upon the inscription.

Cyryn studies the structure, looking for any signs of a hidden observer in the windows of the upper stories of the building.

After scanning the building, Cyryn says to the others, "It appears that the wall crumbled to the right. Shall we take the front door only or should a few of us try and move in through the rubble? If something sinister is waiting for visitors we might be able to flank them."

"What does it say? If you and Jebbo want to take the right I'll go with Jared and back up Hakkarra."

 

[Azgulor]

"All praise, such and such. The name's been scratched out."

Stringing his bow and readying an arrow, Cyryn inclines his head towards the right side of the building. "C'mon Jebbo, let's try the road less traveled. And hopefully the road less watched."

OOC: When/if Jebbo's ready, Cyryn will stalk around the side of the building to the crumbled wall and attempt to enter that way. (Move Silently)

Jebbo nods, and follows Cyryn into the ruins. After a moment or two, Jebbo quietly says, "It's good t'have y'back, Cyryn."

[sblock=OOC]Yeah, I'll follow Cyryn, Move Silently and Hide and such-and-such, and when we get inside (assuming it's dark), cast light on one of my daggers (which I will keep drawn, thank you very much). That is, unless Cyryn wants total stealth and darkness.[/sblock]
