Legacy Of The Deep (Pt. 1) - Escape From Zanzer's Dungeon

[Chauzu]

As you all enter the room, you see an assortment of ranged weapons racked on display on the wall:

2 Longbows
3 Light Crossbows
4 Shortbows
5 Slings
5 Javelins
1 Flask of Holy Water
3 Flasks of Oil
3 Throwing Axes
2 Daggers
10 Darts
3 Quivers of Arrows (20 arrows each)
4 Cases of Bolts (10 bolts each)
2 Puches of Bullets (10 bullets each)

Inside the room, you can also see a straw bullseye target [marked T on the map] hanging on the wall next to the door. Just like the previous room, this room contains small, hissing torches to lighten up the room.

[EDIT]
So far, everybody has the following XP:

Aamon = 100
Celpher = 100
Geramon = 206
Lucian = 125
Morn = 306
Raven = 306
Sydney = 306
Tanarel = 306

Aaman

Aaman scoops up a sling a dagger (edit) and a bag of bullets from the pile of weapons.

"I'm an Uthgardt," the gray-skinned man says. "I'm all for getting out of here."

 

[Manzanita]

"ah...I yet live" Raven mutters to herself. Then she shakes off her morbit thoughts & turns to the others. Her brow wrinkles as she hears axel's little speech. She approaches the newcomers. As she passes Axel, she pats him on the back. "Nice Halbert work back there." She smiles.

She extends her hand to the newcomers. "Greetings. I am called Raven. We were all prisoners, headed for the ice mines & certain slow death. We have chosen a quicker death in combat, bringing down those who would imprison & kill us. We are leaving this place. Many of us are then coming back, though, for vengence against this Zanzer Tem for his affrontery on our dignity & freedom. I hope you will join us on this quest, as you have also been wronged by this man. Can either of you fight? Or heal? Several us of have urgent need of healing. There are more weapons in the room from whence we just came."

She wipes her blade on the dead Gnoll's clothes. Then selects a throwing axe, a small shield, a long bow, & a quiver of arrows for her use. She discards the bastard sword in favor of a long sword & small sheild.

Aaman

After shaking Raven's hand, the tattooed man looks at the assemblage. "I am Aaman Darkrune, and I agree it is better to die free than live enslaved. Slavery is not a natural thing."

Aaman looks to see if there are any wooden shields not in use.

 

[Wippit Guud]

Celpher seems to ignore Axel as he reaches down to take the whip from one of his former captors. Giving the 'leader' a sideways glance, he snaps the whip at a target with a skill that far ourdoes Axel.

"You've yet to prove your leadership qualities to me."

Celpher turns to the rest of the party, "Just call me Pyrite."

Hooking the whip to his belt, Celpher picks up a crossbow and two bolt cases, and waits for his 'leader' to continue.

OOC: Gotta love exotic weapon proficiencies

EDIT OOC: is anyone using purple? trying to find one not picked yet

 

[Yellow Sign]

Morn will take a moment to bandage his wounds. Looking around he says "How badly is everyone hurt and who still has their healing potion?" Morn shakes Aaman's hand. Greetings, I am Morn, student of the arts of mind and body. It seems we are now brothers in arms against the evil of this place and it's master. Do you know what lies beyond that door. Morn points to the door on the east wall.

[OOC: I have taken 5 points of damage of my starting 12.]

Lucian

C"You've yet to prove your leadership qualities to me."

"Or to any of us, friend Pyrite," murmurs Lucian, in a voice carefully calculated not to carry to Axel. "Welcome, both of you, to our assemblage. Your strengths make our group more formidable than before--why, I dare to think that should we continue to amass comrades as we go, we shall soon outnumber our captors completely. Should that not happen, however, it is obvious that our best chance lies with unity and acting quickly enough that we can take them unawares, before they can prepare suitable countermeasures. Do either of you have healing skills?"

 

[Wippit Guud]

Celpher

"Although I have the potential, I've yet to discover the secret," says Celpher, "With luck, perhaps the necessity may inspire the ability."

 

[Zhure]

Aaman

"I have some healing spells at my beck and will heal who I can."

Aaman offers to heal whichever three look the worst.

 

[dddawson]

Lucian

Lucian beams. "Ah, so now we have healing as well! Splendid. Well, that is certainly worth taking some time for, at least for those most heavily wounded. We must balance the need for remaining able against a future need even graver, though. Tanarel, Raven, what say you? Should our new comrade use his magics upon you?"

[OOC: These will be 1d8+1, right? Do we want to use the spells in cases where some of it might be wasted?]
