[LPF] Into the Wilds Part 1

[Deuce Traveler]

Maenor drops the book, which falls with the splash he is expecting. It floats briefly before slowly sinking, but the disturbed ripples and waves created send up a whiff that smells like death and decay. You would guess that the water is somewhere between six and nine feet deep. As you watch, a dark shadow quickly floats over and passed the book disappears out of your sight. It would seem that something moves down there.

 

[Sezarious]

Regar smiles and laughs, jumping up and down! "I did it! It's a magically enhanced spear! Improved damage and accuracy! Haha!" He beams back at Snorri and then proceeds to the chest with a frown. "Hmm. Maybe he did. It's a shame we couldn't question him further. But ah well..."

He sighs at the broken vials in the chest. "You know, as a wizard, I never really had an interest in the Knock spell until now. Coming from the academy, where everything was provided, I never had a reason to break into anything. But books from old adventuring wizards, they always insisted on those utility spells. Now I understand why!"

Stepping over to Maenor, Regar watches as the man drops the book down into the well, the use of the light spell to assist the mans search intrigues him. "Well, this is a lot more fun than I thought."

For a moment, Regar stops and frowns at his recent down and up... Was he emotionally unstable? He WAS pretty young for an elf he supposed... Maybe this is why he used to get picked on? "Hmm" With a shrug, he moves back towards the centre of the room, placing his hands behind his back and begins to whistle casually.

"Hmm?" Regar looks back at Snorri a little clueless for a moment, waiting for the punchline, then realising he was about to create an awkward silence, snaps back into it. "Er-Eheh, yess I, er... Think so.... Lemme just..." He fumbles around in his backpack before pulling out his ink vial, and pen then continues searching through, looking a little flustered.... "I... Thought I had purchased spare... Parchment... I. Oh! This'll do!" Regar pulls out his spare spellbook, turns it upside down and opens it at the back. "Though i'm not trained in cartography, i'm sure i can do a reasonable enough job untrained."


With that, Regar begins preparation in mapping things out.

Brog Strongheart

Brog moves back toward the stairs as it becomes clear that there is nothing much further to deal with in this section, and takes up a defensive position in the most promising spot that is reasonably close to the group as quietly as possible while listening for other activity coming from stairs.

Stealth: 1D20+5 = [12]+5 = 17
Perception: 1D20+7 = [1]+7 = 8

OOC: I think the dice gods are trying to toy with me right now.

Maenor Thandgur

As the shadow passes over the light, Maenor shakes his head. "Nope. Not now, not ever." He abruptly turns and heads down the hallway bold as brass, seemingly oblivious to Brog's attempt at stealth. "Well come on! We shouldn't keep them waiting."

Kepli Stormborn


Kepli moved on after Brog and Maenor. The lizard followed along after a little encouragement from Kepli. Scuttle required encouragement of a different sort. The bird, standing at the edge of the well, tilted his head and stared down the shaft with a beady eye. The shadow passing quickly below startled him and with a loud squawk the seagull winged after the girl and lizard.

"My father always said, 'Sooner started, sooner done.' " She gripped her shortspear tightly in both hands and peered cautiously around.

One last long look down the well before turning to follow after Maenor.

[Deuce Traveler]

No one senses any trouble as you enter a cavern that looks to be used for storage. The cavern is stacked, floor to ceiling, with crates, barrels and boxes. All of the goods seem ruined by moisture, mold and time. Rolls of cloth rot in puddles, broken casks of wine litter the room, and spoiled foodstuffs sit in piles on the floor.

The stairs you came from descend to the east, while a new set of stairs rises to the north.
