[IC1] Pool of Radiance

"I am for it as well. Kylest? Lady Aylor? Elmus?"

 

[hafrogman]

Kylest nods and smiles slightly.

"It does seem like a beneficial mission, not to mention a little bit of extra incentive for us. It is always good to have clerics on your side."

[smallcaps]Fourth Chapter of the Pool of Radiance campaign[/smallcaps]​

1348 DR, Day 10 of Mirtul (spring)

The rest of the evening passed uneventful. Eldwyn had identified the remaining magical treasure they had brought back from Sokol Keep. Planning to sell the items, that won't see any immediate use, on the next day, and meeting with the gnome Dirtan to discuss any final details of their upcoming mission, the adventurers finally went to sleep.

During the night...

After the somewhat exhaustive day, sleep came easy, and everyone is in a deep slumber...

Kylest:
[SBLOCK]You suddenly wake up. Was there a noise? There, again. Faint noises. Shouts. Steel clashing on steel. More shouting. Something must be going on outside on the streets![/SBLOCK]

Selvaggio:
[SBLOCK]You suddenly wake up. Was there a noise? There, again. Faint noises. Shouts. Steel clashing on steel. More shouting. Something must be going on outside on the streets! Intrepido is already up and is pacing nervously around the room.[/SBLOCK]

Kylest sits bolt upright at the sound of a struggle nearby and dwarven eyesight pierces the gloom of his room easily. One hand darts out for his blade, sheathed next to his bed, even as he springs up and onto his feet.

He calls out to Kordunn and Aylor as he moves.

"Did you two hear that?"

[sblock=ooc]Is there a window in my room facing the street?[/sblock]

 

[Thanee]

As he stands up, Kylest looks around the room, but cannot see anything suspicious. Just the sleeping forms of Kordunn and Aylor in the other two beds, who turn around, slowly waking up now as well. Moving over to the window, the dwarf cannot immediately see what's going on, he can only make out a pair of city guards hurrying towards the harbor. It's apparant, though, that there are people fighting in the streets not too far away from the tavern.

Eyes darting around the room, Kylest picks out his boots and grabs them, taking a poke at his two roommates as he darts past them. He struggles, hopping as he tries to don his boots as quickly as possible.

"Get up you two, something's happening out there. We may be needed!"

Glancing reluctantly at his armor lying at the foot of his bed, Kylest grabs his sword and hurries out of the room, pausing only a moment to pound on his friends' door as he hurries downstairs and out to the street.

[sblock=ooc]I'm going to assume Kylest sleeps in enough clothing to be decent as he runs out. A pair of pants at least. But probably not in his armor. Technically no penalties for sleeping in light armor, but I just can't imagine it's comfortable.[/sblock]

 

[Voadam]

In his night shirt Kordunn is not quite his usual image of the dignified warrior figure but he grabs up his own magical sword without hesitation and heads out the door answering Kylest's call to duty. "Invasion?"

 

[Mista Collins]

Calming Intrepido, Selvaggio shouts to wake up the others as he is quickly putting on his boots. "Get up! Get up! There is fighting in the streets! Get up!"

Selvaggio puts on his belt that holds the loops for both his club and sickle. Leaving his armor behind he then heads for the door with Intrepido by his side.

 

[Thanee]

Eldwyn and Oog quickly wake up as Selvaggio calls out, wondering whether it is time for breakfast, they notice that it is still rather dark, and they still feel a bit tired. It must still be night after all.

 

[Scotley]

Eldwyn

"Did he say 'fighting in the streets?'" ask Eldwyn rubbing sleep from his eyes. He climbs out of bed and takes up his weapons and shield, but leaving the armor for now. "Let's see what is happening." He makes his way out with a clatter of weapons.
