[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 7963597, member: 59816"] [B]The Swan's Nest[/B] Escella led the way to the Swan's Nest - where a pretty waterfall poured into the centre of a natural depression, creating a secluded pond. Here, a sequence of rocky landings and wooden ramps allowed for a gradual descent to the floor of the depression, where stood three statues and an elegant stone building whose door depicted a stylized setting sun. One of the statues depicted two swans atop a partially submerged rock in the middle of the pool. A statue of an elf hunter stood on the southwestern shore, and a nymph statue stood to the northeastern of the pool. The depression was twenty feet deep, with only one little path leading to the wooden ramps down. The Daggerfordains circled to the north-west, where they could get a look into the depression. There were orcs! One was very nearby on a wooden bridge by the waterfall. Another stood by the door of the shrine. Three more hauled rock and dirt out of the eastern wall of the depression - as if they were trying to get at something buried under it. A sixth orc stood in the middle of the depression, cursing at the others. Two vicious-looking dogs could be seen as well - one was finishing mauling the corpse of a swan, with feathers everywhere. The other was barking at the labouring orcs, to add emphasis to its master's curses. (There was a third, as well, out of sight, digging in the short tunnel that the orcs had dug as they tried to break into the crypts under the eastern ridge.) The Daggerfordians observed all this, before the sound of Tommi catching himself in a thorn-bush alerted the orc on the bridge that someone was above. He shouted a warning to the others. [spoiler="Vairar"]Vairar has been avoiding orcs for a few days. He managed to seal the tunnel from the Shrine to the Crypts in a way that made the orcs give up on it, but they discovered a little hole in the wall that had been made to let air into/out of the Crypt. They have been digging it out and working on breaking through the Crypt's stonework, both to get at you (they're aware you're in there) and to presumably, rob the Crypts. They are not quite through yet, so you have a round of free time.[/spoiler] [ooc]I will be back ASAP to post the round-starter.[/ooc] [/QUOTE]
