[LPF] Crypt of the Everflame (01)

Tyrien, Half-elven Archeress

Tyrien shrugs, "I am not sure who caused things to stir up."

"When we arrived... I am not sure how much time has passed, but it must be a few days at least if you are here now."

"Anyway, things were definitely not as they should be and this goes way beyond playing some pranks on the ones sent to complete their rite of passage."

"I was knocked unconscious and only woke up when you opened the door to find me. That's pretty much it, I have no stolen treasure and only the possessions I had when I came into the crypt."

She looks to be petulantly miffed at the accusation.

Gragnor looks to Kalgor in help with the argument because it is not his strong suit, but gets none.

"Irrelevant. Let's rescue the 'other' girl, and get out of here!"

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC: So, what's it gonna be? Anyone gonna try to talk Kalgor out of his gallant - but potentially disastrous - drive to press on before resting? Or will you continue to plumb the depths of the Crypt without rest?

Tyrien, Half-elven Archeress

Tyrien looks at the recalcitrant man, "If this place is full of zombies and skeletons running around, what makes you think she is still alive? Those exploding creatures looked more interesting in eating our brains than taking prisoners."

She is all for rescuing the other girl, but there is some explanation missing.

"You know what we need? Some holy water. It would certainly help if we run into more undead, which appears to very likely."

"Sir knight, you are quiet. What have you to say?"

OOC: Tyrien cannot convince him IC, not in her nature. I think, Iosef is the one to do it and probably should be leading this expedition being a Paladin with his higher charisma and diplomacy. I say, go ahead and use up the LoHs.

Iosef thinks for long moment, his features torn with indecision.

Finally, he speaks, "Tyrien is right. The girl has been lost for days. Unless she found somewhere safe she is long dead. We will rescue her or avenger her as we can, but we won't get anywhere without rest - our strengths are nearly exhausted. We should return to our camp site and rest before resuming this exploration."

OOC: edit - I'll channel +ve energy - everyone gets healed 2d6.

Anaerion was happy to hear the news of rest, although facing a grim option o losing the girl. He was going to argue that they might have ended up dead as well if they carried on, but Ty beat him to the punch. "Lead the way Iosef."

Tyrien looks a bit sheepish, "Umm... do you guys have any spare camping gear and provisions?"

"I ah... did not bring mine inside and have no idea what happened to them."

Kalgor and Gragnor

"There are pillows near the entrance."

Kalgor gives in, heading the paladin's words and follows the others back outside to rest for the night. Before getting past the first room on the way out, "You up for a recon sprint little one? You're just going to be poofing out soon anyways." "You know the hangoverr from that hurrrts." "Yeah, but we will be able to fight better tomorrow. And if you find a safe route to the girl, we can turn around today." "Alrrright."

Kalgor turns to his party members, "We have a trick up our sleeve." "Rrright. We. Surre. No sleeves herre."

"We are going to lock Gragnor down here, blocking or locking all the doors as we head out. That way, little should come to us outside while we sleep. Once we are outside and ready, Gragnor is going to scout through down here as far as he can, telling me what he sees, without running into something. Once he does, he is going to either run past it real fast, or make a smoky escape. At least tomorrow, he will have more information on where to go." "One of these days, you get to play cannon fodderrr." "Hollar to bail out before something can get to you. Just try to get as far as you can. If you can find the girl, we can turn around." "Well, get it rrright and adjust my head bandage. Don't want to have anything glowing."

Once the black panther has his black bandage fitted on, he goes over to a shadowed corner of the room to lie down and sinks into the shadows to wait.
[sblock=ooc]Gragnor stays in the room south of the big circular arrow trap. Lock or nail shut that door, and any others on the way out.

Once outside, Kalgor describes a map while someone else writes it down. Gragnor will use his mental link (any distance) to describe where he is going. He will stealthily sneak +7 with Darkvision and +12 Perception, to map the dungeon. Once he encounters something, sprint past if there is room (double move 80'). When in danger, he says "goodnight" and Kalgor dismisses his friend as a standard action. Gragnor will be moving through on only 5 HP because of the extra distance factor, and will not engage an opponent. May backtrack if there are other branches to run down.

GM does all the rolling silently and give a finally tally map for "next day's" use.

OOC: Got it. It'll take me a bit to think/run through it - hopefully tomorrow AM I'll have it done for you. The night passes uneventfully, so while I'm working out Gragnor's scouting expedition you guys can pick your spells for the next day (everyone is now fully leveled). Kalgor's STR Damage is healed down to 4. I have everyone except Iosef at full HP, and Iosef at 37/46 after the channel and the night's rest.

[sblock=OOC]Mowgli, I am going to spend 4 DMC to level her up again. By my calculations she will be at 3435XP today. Can you double-check? I will record things on her sheet and level her up.[/sblock]Tyrien looks at the pillows and shrugs, "Okay.... Food and water?"

After hearing the plan, She waves to Gragnor, "Bye-bye, Kitty."

"Once we get it mapped out, then we should lure the undead creatures into areas we can systematically destroy them. If we are going through all this trouble, might as well use the information to our best advantage."
