[LPF] Silent Tide

[Maidhc O Casain]

[sblock=OOC/Initiative]The main reason I was keeping you all in initiative order even though you weren't actively fighting was so I could keep what was happening when straight in my head for the separate threads. If everyone is moving together I think we can keep the action here and allow free-style posting, until there's an actual combat. That should allow us to pick up the pace a bit as well. I'll let you know when it's time to move back to individual threads, based either on your actions or on being about to enter combat. Sound good? If anyone has better ideas feel free to chime in; if not, let's keep the action going!

Charity and The Navigator have headed 'round and up the stairs in the SE corner - just need to know what Corbin and Robert are doing.[/sblock]

"Sounds like a plan" Robert says following his companions."How many of those ghost thingies have you encountered and slain?"

 

[airwalkrr]

OOC: Sorry, a bit delinquent in posting. I need to get bavk in the habit of regularpowting.

"I will stick close to Charity and assist her. But we should all br close together. This place is clearly meant to confuse us with this magical fog. While haste is important, we will do the city no good if we are separated and die."

OOC: Corbin keeps up with the others, morningstar in one hand, shield in the other. Since he had longstrider active his speed is currently 35'. He should have no difficulty keeping up.

The group makes its way up the stairs, sticking tightly together now. At the top there is a trap door; grain dust drifts down as Charity pushes it open and pokes her head up and into the granary's main storage area. The room is filled with piles of grain, most of them significantly higher than Charity's head. There doesn't appear to be any way to navigate around the vast chamber.

[sblock=I'm confused]
Mowgli, I'm not sure what you mean by there being no way to navigate the chamber. Do you mean there is also fog and we can't see well, or that the piles of grain stretch to the wall and there is no path through, or something else?

[Maidhc O Casain]

[sblock=OOC]The entire floor is covered with piles of grain; it's possible, I guess, that something that didn't have to breath could be making its way through the piles, but there's no way for the party to explore the room - it's simply piled too high. There is no fog here.[/sblock]

"We only got one of the beasts, Robert," Charity comments, as she reaches the top of the stairs and sees little more than large piles of grin. She looks at the room with a critical eye, before turning around and heading back down the stairs. "They don't seem to be here. How about we go back to first floor and keep following the wall, see what turns up? I figure there are more since this weird fog isn't letting up."

[sblock=ooc]Continuing lots of chatter as I look at the piles of grain for movement. Assuming I see none, turn, go back down stairs, turn east, head to the wall, then turn north.[/sblock]

"That plan is agreeable to me," Corbin says, heading down the stairs and following Charity and the others. He keeps his morningstar and shield ready, darting his eyes back and forth to watch his flanks.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

The group does an about face on the stairs and makes it's way back down and around, retracing your route and using the wall for a reference. Soon enough you find yourselves gathered on the east wall of the structure, peering into the fog and plotting your next move.

[sblock=OOC]I'm making some assumptions here - primarily that for now you'll be sticking together - and posting a "group move" w/ my best guess as to your desired positions once someone posts their movement, primarily to move things along a little by not waiting for all four of you to post "I'll go along with the group" at each and every step. If anyone wants to break off from the group or would rather I not make that assumption just post to let me know. Otherwise, feel free to post speech and RP as desired.

A couple of other notes - though it feels like forever, it's only been a couple of minutes you guys have been inside. And it's been long enough since I asked that I've forgotten the answer - what are the light sources?[/sblock]

The temple guard continues, pushing herself to continue as quickly as possible, "Let's see, I think some sort of divider wall here-ish or so… around it…" Shooting glances back at the group as she presses on, making sure nobody is getting left behind, she continues, "All I can figure is to finish sweeping out in this fashion, hoping we find the last of them, then report back to the old man and the White Cloaks."
[sblock=ooc]Charity is double moving as best she can with the environmental restrictions, so long as it seems others can keep up. She's following the right wall, although if memory serves there is a spur coming up… just go around and continue. Her light source is an Ioun Torch. One of the joys of having a partial adventure finished. [/sblock]
