[IC] Return of the Runelords

[Scotley]

Teodor shrugs, "Down is fine with me too. Shall I scout ahead?" He makes his way to the head of the stairs to lead the way down.

 

[Neurotic]

"I can see in the dark, boy, but I'm not really stealthy. How about I follow you out of the light range, but I can warn you maybe before you step into something in the dark? Not that I will see very well through the light."

Drath offers
"I am too old for all that creeping and crouching, but my eyes and ears are still sharp."

Stealth; Perception: 1D20-2 = [5]-2 = 3
1D20+11 = [19]+11 = 30

OOC: @Scotley down where? My understanding is that we have nowhere to go...we can return to the cabin...or did I miss something?

 

[Guest 11456]

Deciding to leave the closed door the group heads to the stairs. Looking down the stairs you can see, from the light of your lantern, that the stairs descend for about 25 feet and then makes a right turn.

 

[Neurotic]

"I'll check the turn, then you can go with the light to scout, Teodor."
Drath goes down the stairs and peeks (not really stealthily with 3) down the corridor.

 

[Guest 11456]

Drath goes down to the landing and finds that the stairs continue down for about 30 feet before turning to the right again.

 

[Neurotic]

Drath motions for others to come down and, once they start, continues to the next landing

 

[Guest 11456]

Drath goes down to the next landing and finds that the stairs continue down for about 25 feet before opening into a chamber. He can hear the faint sound of conversations up ahead.

 

[Neurotic]

Drath returns to the others telling them about the conversation heard
"Your show now, Teodor, my boy"

 

[Scotley]

"Time to sneak," he whispers with a nod to Drath. He moves forward slowly and carefully trying to see who is talking or maybe overhear a snatch of the conversation without being detected himself. He is as good as his word as he moves smoothly and quietly from shadow to shadow with nary a sound, hardly seeming to disturb the air around him.

Stealth and Perception additional +4 to overhear conversation: 1D20+10 = [19]+10 = 29
1D20+7 = [11]+7 = 18

 

[Guest 11456]

Teodor can hear several people discussing how boring guard duty is. You estimate that 3 to 5 people are involved. The voices are coming from what is at the end of the stairs.

 

[Scotley]

Teodor eases back a bit to report. "Sounds like 3-5 guards, just grousing about guard duty." He looks to Drath, "could I trouble you for the healing you offered before we attack. Assuming we will attack. What other option do we have after all?"

 

[Neurotic]

"Same as before. Barge down there and try to make them surrender. I have only one healing spell. If you're seriously wounded maybe you should stay behind this time?"
Drath looks over the group.
"If someone falls down there, I can of course heal you, but magic is faster in case of critical injuries. I asked above so I could patch you up without magic."

 

[Scotley]

Teodor nods, "I'll stay at range this time then I think and try not to get stabbed again." He sheaths his blades and readies his crossbow for action. "Let's do it before one of them decides to come upstairs for some reason and spoils our surprise."

 

[Guest 11456]

Remember that Audrahni gave the team a wand of CLW to use, it still has 10 charges. The team also bought a full wand as well. Audrahni also gave the team six vials of holy water. Shendra originally had these items but we will assume she passed them to Drath.

 

[Scotley]

OOC: i had forgotten, thanks!

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Michael suggests that someone use the wand to heal them back up to full health before attempting the ambush. He then whispers, "Alright, Drath. I'm ready to charge down there if you are."

OOC: I'm back.... had a long last few weeks. Just had my first day off in some time.

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Welcome back. Teodor needs some of that healing for sure.

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: Not sure how much a wand heals...I assumed minimum level needed to make the wand, but it may differ a bit. Base rolls are 7 and 6 so adjust accordingly for casters level.

Spoiler: Healing

Healing wand for Teodor and one more if someone needs it: 1D8+5 = [7]+5 = 12
1D8+5 = [6]+5 = 11

 

[Guest 11456]

It is 1d8+1.

 

[Neurotic]

It is 1d8+1.

So Teodor / @Scotley heals 8 and one other who needs it heals 7 (if no one takes it, Drath will)
