[LPF]Treasure Hunt

[Ehdge]

Ehdge offers tea to anyone who cares for some and finishes his own. He packs up his bedroll and checks his gear and armor to be ready for whatever the day may bring.

OOC: Ehdge is prepared to clear away the debris blocking the hole in the wall and begin exploring behind it once the rest of the party is ready.

Marcus, having spent the night with his back against the wall near the cave entrance yawns and stretches as he wakes to the sound of conversation amongst his fellow travelers. He stretches after standing and crosses over to the fire and sits down.

Tea sounds good to me. Thanks.

He watches the Elven maiden pull her spell book from her backpack, blinks at it momentarily, then turns his gaze to the visage of Zaphyn. He then looks around at everyone else assembled, sipping at tea and enjoying the chance to allow his mind to be fully alert and his insides warmed by the tea. Once his tea is finished, he pulls his bow from his back and gives it a good look over before reshouldering it in an easily accessible position. He gathers the rest of his gear and gets himself ready, standing by the entry to the cave, eyes to the rainy world beyond, though his focus doesn't seem to be on anything particular.

OOC: Long day at the office. Oy. Anyway, will not post again until probably Monday unless I get a chance to be on Sunday. Everyone have a great weekend! Oh, Marcus will keep tot he back of the party if we move on, unless needed for tracking or some such goodies, until I return.

OOC: Not to be overly nit picky, but did Marcus really sleep with his bow strapped to his back while sleeping against a cave wall? I would think that would be both uncomfortable as well as risk breaking the bow.

Once finished reading her spellbook for the day, Fae'shiel stands up, and picks up her suit of armor that she had taken off and laid next to her the previous night. Once she has it in her hand she proceeds to take the time to don that armor properly so that it is in its proper positioning.

I'll need a strength check if you plan on knocking the wall down or a plan if you want to attempt a more quiet approach.

 

[Ehdge]

OOC: After clearing away the debri, how large is the hole that the Dire Rats came through?

 

[sunshadow21]

OOC: Large enough for a small creature on all fours to crawl through, i.e. just a bit larger than the size of a dire rat.

 

[Ehdge]

"Well guys, I think I can break through this wall, but it may be a bit noisy, so it could bring attention from anything waiting on the other side. I'm not sure that I know a better way to widen this hole though, so does anyone have any ideas?"

Ehdge looks around to his companions looking for a better idea or agreement with using brute force.

 

[DalkonCledwin]

"Why do we not first look to see if there is an alternative way beyond this wall that we can utilize?" Fae'shiel asks the others. As she says this she moves to search the rest of the cavern that they spent the night in.

OOC: Hell with it. I am just going to give up on the speech convention I had initially intended for Fae'shiel. Remembering to speak in Thee, Thou, and Thy's all the time when talking for Fae'shiel is a pain in the rear end. Especially when it is not something I naturally do. Also, take a 20 on perception to search the cave, resulting in a 22.

 

[sunshadow21]

There does not appear to be any other way of getting into the structure. The one you have was not actually intended; the rats made it by happenstance.

 

[Artur Hawkwing]

Marcus stays by the entry way until everyone starts eying the rat sized hole that Ehdge uncovered. He eyes the small size and looks at Ehdge, amusing himself with the thought of the swordsman trying to ram himself through the hole.

I would dare say that moving the debris around probably would have attracted anything close enough to hear us and get to us before we could get at least some of us to the other side to meet them. I could lay on my side and shoot an arrow through there and see if I hit something if you think it might help.

He gives a bit of a wry, comedic smile.

If we don't find anything better, this may be the way. Unless we want to risk what's left of the storm and try to go up to the tower the old fashioned way.
