MiPS Lost Mine Part II

[tuxgeo]

OOC: Party of five (5) becomes party of three (3)?

Eddicus responds quietly, "Your ears are better than mine: I heard no voice at all. Should I advance to the leading location where you heard whatever you heard, so I can hear something of the same sort if it should speak again?"

"Or could what you heard have been a mind-affecting influence, such as an illusion?"

"Could you see any indication of whether the tunnel we found connects to the area ahead?"

 

[Neurotic]

"It could be an illusion, mind-to-mind communication, a spell or whatever. It could even be simple deterrent. But the contact seemed real. Since we didn't really explore anything yet, I would go back and check the doors next to the basin then those on the right of the entrance. And I would feel safer if someone was left to guard that starting point so we don't get mobbed from multiple sides without a fight."

OOC: GameDoc said he is busy in RL, we could leave Vottr as a guard and when he comes back he can follow us into the complex (hopefully, we will leave obvious trail ) Or he could rescue us if the need arises.

The group cautiously reverses and returns to the cellar.

There are doors to the north of the cistern, on the north wall under the stairs and the door exiting the cellar on the east wall at the top of the stairs.

 

[Neurotic]

"Do we try the north door? These ones next to the cistern look little used and are probably pantry or something. But those under the stairs might lead deeper into the complex."

 

[Trogdor1992]

"You're quite likely right, though I do think we should at least poke our heads in there to be safe."

 

[mips42]

You're not sure what it is but something in the cellar seems different than it was before.

Eddicus holds the glowing pebble aloft in the cellar and tries to see what he can see. He looks at the cistern to check its level; he looks at the boxes and barrels on the north and south walls; he looks at the door on the other side of the cistern; and he looks at the stairs and the door where they had entered.

OOC: Perception [roll0]

He adds to Leonan, "The cavern you saw entended to the north a short way from where you stood, didn't it? Or was it a long way? Could this other door next to the cistern lead to a very large area between here and the cavern? If the distances were tight, then maybe we should check that door first so we don't leave a small unknown behind while we explore a big unknown."

 

[Neurotic]

"Ok. Ready your missiles, I'll open the door. I doubt there will be anything, though. I'd say we find a valve mechanism for the cistern or the pantry."
[MENTION=6801450]Trogdor1992[/MENTION], Leonan will open the door. If you have missiles, ready them, unless you want to open the door first.

Not really expecting anything (unless he sees something new, [MENTION=6746242]mips42[/MENTION]), Leonan waits only long enough to check that the fighters are ready to charge and everyone has their weapons changed. He then opens the door in staying behind them as he opens them so he doesn't get into friendly line of fire. Anyhow, he immediately pokes his head in, convinced it is safe. (unless, of course, the party starts flinging missiles inside as soon as he opens the door)

 

[Axel]

Brlo positions himself in front of Eddicus, giant crossbow loaded and locked. "Rest easy, bi'fella. Anythin'll af't ge'through me first. Jus' don'take m'head off."

ooc: good to be back! Lots of catching up to do...

Castagyr waits near the door holding his lance in his hands.
