[IC] The Trouble at Durbenford

[Lazlow]

[sblock=OOC]Any arrows on the bodies? Gil's running short.[/sblock]

Gil roots around and finds quite a supply of arrows among the bodies.
[sblock=ooc]There are at least 60 or so on the bugbears here.[/sblock]

 

[Lazlow]

"Jackpot!" Gil says, returning with his arms full of arrows. "Who needs missiles?"

[sblock=OOC]He'll split the arrows up evenly with whoever needs them, just let me know.[/sblock]

Ruathen takes the vial Gil was examining, holds it up to the light, swirling its contents, and finally pulls the stopper, briefly sniffing the contents. Wrinkling his nose, he replaces the stopper and hands the vial back. "It's a potion of Spider Climbing, alright. Smells like pine tar and arachnid secretions..."

Jasper stands up to heal anyone else who needs it with the wand.

"Thank you kindly, good cleric," remarks Padraig as he accepts the offered healing magic. "I carry one healing potion in my pack, but I think it would be best to conserve it for use in an emergency situation only."

Padraig helps himself to some of the bugbear arrows, then listens to the rest of the group decide which course of action is best (strategy requires some wisdom, which has never been his strong suit). He also looks on in wonder as his companions with magical abilities discuss the items found on the bugbear with the strange, exploding-ball necklace.

 

[Dichotomy]

With the group's wounds tended to, Konstantine steers the discussion back to task. "'Worms in the apple,' you say, Jasper... I think you're likely right. In fact, given the way our host has acted, I'd not be shocked to learn that she had simply ignored other beings entering. That suggests at least two things. First, we, thankfully, need not attempt to get by the deva somehow (not that I know we could, in any case). Second, we are going to have to be wary of more danger. Let us hope that the wounds just healed have taught us a lesson."

The bard scratches his chin and ponders aloud. "However, I don't know how to proceed. Should we continue down the path we happened down first? Or should we at least give a cursory examination to the other wing?"

"Should we continue down the path we happened down first? Or should we at least give a cursory examination to the other wing?"[/color]

"Maybe we should at least just poke our heads in the other wing, just in case we might miss something of great importance, but with the intention of proceeding this way. After all, it's probably not a good idea to let the bugbears spend too much time regrouping."

"That sounds reasonable. We should see what's there, if only to deal with it later. Who knows how many reinforcements those bugbears can muster up?"

 

[Bloodcookie]

"I agree. Frankly, I don't relish the idea of a pitched battle in these fragile surroundings. Especially against foes who think nothing of tossing about explosives."

 

[TiCaudata]

"Alright, let's go see what is in the other alcove, and then come back to finish these bugbears off. The cleric begins across the main hall.
