[IC1] Pool of Radiance

[hafrogman]

Kylest looks quickly over the various items gathered from the hidden holes and alcoves, but keeps glancing back towards the doors, and the only path out.

"Gather everything up, there will be time to deal with it later, I hope. Dirtan, did you say the scrolls could get us out of here? What are they?"

Aylor Creegan

"Lets take those weapons and potions with us too." Whispers Aylor, "They might prove to be useful to us later. "

 

[Mista Collins]

"It looks like we are going to have to fight our way out!" Selvaggio calls Intrepido in close and looks back to the others. "I can summon some help, but I don't know what we will be up against."

 

[Thanee]

“Most of these items have been stored here once to aid in the defense of the temple. Many of them should contain information on how to use them. As for the scrolls, maybe you can decipher them? We should still have some time, and it would be good to know, what we have at our disposal.”

Eldwyn

"I'll have a look at the scrolls. I'd like to try out some of those weapons as well if it comes down to a stand up fight. My brother halfling and I will be able to put the smaller ones to use." Eldwyn will set to work on the scrolls having some facility with both divine and arcane magic.

 

[hafrogman]

"Well, you take a look at the scrolls, see if any of them could be useful. I'm going to have a listen at the door."

So saying, Kylest draws his sword and creeps towards the northern temple door. He pauses just inside the door, straining his ears for any voices or footsteps outside.

While sneaking towards the entrance, Kylest realizes, that it might be possible to actually get a view on the surrounding area from the somewhat precarious walkway ahead.

The dwarven scout can hear some orcs talking, they seem eager about something, and a bit angry about another thing. Lacking the knowledge of their language, however, that's all he can discern.

Elmus notes, that he can make use of a small dagger or short sword, but his eldritch power is probably more useful.

Meanwhile, Eldwyn tries to figure out the magic written down on the ancient parchments, but he soon realizes, that his knowledge alone won't get him very far. With a few simple guestures, the halfling casts a spell to aid him in this task.

Eldwyn:

Eldwyn

Looking up from his work with a smile Eldwyn annouces, "These will be of some use to us should the battle go against us." He quickly shares his findings with the others.

 

[Bloodweaver1]

Aylor Creegan

"Good to know..." Approves Aylor as she looks from the magical weapons to the front door. "Question, how far do we want to push this counter strike?" She polls the question to the rest of the group as she looks at each of them in turn. "We still have the element of surprise with us. As I see it, we can either stay and cause more damage or retreat back and come back another day. Though the risk of them being more cautious would be high." States Aylor. "I think you all know what I would prefer, but its a group effort."

 

[hafrogman]

Kylest returns to the others for a moment, pausing and considering Aylor's thoughts.

"Well, we have accomplished Dirtan's mission, but we also set out to reclaim the temple as a whole. However, if were to fall now, the gnomish treasures would certainly be lost. I think for today we should focus on completing our first task, and then return to cause more havok in the future. For now though, our priority is to not be here anymore. I have no desire to overwhelmed or trapped here. I think I can get a view of what's outside from the walkway. Bide a moment and I will go see what I can see."

Having said his piece, Kylest nods and sets off again to scout out the fron enterance, trying to traverse the walkway and get a view of the temple entrance without being seen himself.
