Malvoisin's Savage Tide, Act 1 - There Is No Honor

[Malvoisin]

The old man fishes out a few copper coins and tosses them in various points about the deeper part of the water. He listens for any reaction and watches to see of the coins drift. "Lets see if that thar do anythin'."

Col's coins elicit no response from the placid surfaace of the murky water. They hit the water's surface with a 'plunk', then sink lazily out of sight, nothing more.

 

[Rhun]

Anar shrugs at Col as the coins do nothing bu sink beneath the water, and then turns around and heads back to the doors they had passed. Again, the rogue presses his ears against the doors, hoping to get a clue to what lies beyond.

(Anar, Listen Check)
Anar kneels down at the base of the latest pair of double doors, and listens closely. At first, he hears only silence. But then, a chill runs down his spine as he picks up an all-too-familiar sound...shuffling steps, and low moaning. Definitely more undead! The echoes of the damp tunnel play tricks on Anar's ears, making it impossible for him to tell how many of the zombies lurk beyond the doors.

 

[Rhun]

Anar stands and backs away from the door. "More of those zombie things," he says with a shudder.

Keoni considers the door, rebalancing the dagger in his hands and raising up his shield a little bit higher. He closes his eyes for a moment, trying to calm his nerves, focusing on the Storm Serpents. They have seen him this far. . .

"Perhaps swimming is not so bad?"

 

[Legildur]

"Perhaps swimming is not so bad?"

Bael sighs. "If we knew it lead somewhere, I'd agree with you," Bael says as he scratches a pointed ear with the tip of the stave of his longbow. "Do we secure this area? Or head back past where we came in?"

 

[GwydapLlew]

Chongo frowns at the pool as he moves to take up position near the entrance to the room ... just in case the Walking Dead find their way to the dead end. "Chongo think that having wall to our back help us. We know attacks only come from one direction. . . Or Chongo close, bar door while others look in pool."

 

[hafrogman]

Keoni shrugs at Bael's comment.

"It was an attempt at a joke. I have no wish to drown in a cave that never surfaces. Still, the walking dead have proven formidable foes. It only took a pair of the things to nearly bring down one of our own. However, we may not have a choice."

He gestures to the door in front of them.

"If we are to rest, I would wish it to be in a room with a door. If we can survive another encounter, perhaps we could barricade ourselves inside, instead of attempting to keep something else from escaping."

 

[Voadam]

"I'm a fair swimmer and I can conjure my own fey lights. I can dive into the unknown and scout out where it goes. The last time I swam through an underground pool, however, it opened into a dragon's lair and I became her apprentice for a decade. That's where I learned the light trick I did on Vark's man, by the way. This one is not wide enough to encompass one as large as Matsu Dargus though so this should be different."

 

[Rhun]

Anar

"The pool, then? And if it proves to be of no use, then we can try the zombies? We can always crack the door a bit and peer in...try to see how many there are."
