IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part V

[o3caudata]

Eskard's eyes immediately tense. He spins his sword slightly in his hand, but holds his ground.

[sblock=oc]Dodge v the dude. Ready a Non-lethal attack please. +9 [with penalty] / 2d6+8[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

As the man lunges at Eskard's sword, looking to, apparently, grab it, Eskard deftly turns the flat of his blade into the man's head. He immediately drops to the floor, breathing heavily.
[sblock=OOC]For the sake of not wasting time, I'm going to assume the conditions would trigger the ready.

11+, hit, more than enough non-lethal damage[/sblock]

Erdolliel stays hidden through the ordeal and then proceeds to open the door and sneak through

"He may wake up before we get back. We might want to tie him up, as bodies have a tendancy to dissapear in this place." Bazrim says as he points at the unconcious man, and turns back to the door.

 

[o3caudata]

"We're not leaving him here. Eskard, carry him if you can, drag him if you must. Let's go. Kushnak says definitively, before turning to follow Erdolliel.

Eskard bends and lifts the man, testing his weight and decides to drag the man as he goes.

[sblock=oc] Eskard'll drag the guy unless he manages to weigh less than 156lbs. [/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel, still sneaking, opens one of the double-doors to the next room.

Much of the floor of this ruined chamber has given way, revealing a large stagnant pool of water below. Rusted spears and broken swords break the surface of this pool throughout the room. A framework of soggy timbers that might have once support the floor still stands, stretching out across the void.

While the room seems to continue around the corner to the right, from this angle, it cannot be seen.

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel cautiously moves forward to see around the corner.[sblock=oc]Keep hiding +13, Move silently +13, and search the timbers as she goes to make sure they are secure and not trapped +14. The searching should slow her down to the point that she doesn't incur any penalties to hiding or moving silently, but if for some reason it doesn't, she'll move slow enough to not get any penalties.[/sblock]

Bazrim looks for signs of light down at the open space in the wall while standing near the doorway. He then gives out a little snicker when he realizes that whoever might be around that corner probably noticed the light from this door opening.

 

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel moves out, stealthily searching, to the first piling. But as soon as she gets there, the elf gets an intense sense that... something is out there. She cannot discern what or where, but she knows she isn't alone.

 

[o3caudata]

Kushank gives a worried look to the timbers as Erdolliel moves out onto them, before retrieving an item from his pack, and casting a spell on Eskard.

As he does, he says, "This will allow you to....fly. Go with her, and bring her to us if anything happens."

Eskard obliges him happily, testing his new found mobility while he waits for Erdolliel to move further out.

[sblock=oc]I fail.

Fly on Eskard with the extend rod. 14 minutes of fly. 60ft w/good manuverability.[/sblock]
