New Heroes Arise IC

[Jemal]

It is somewhere in the early to mid afternoon, though with the cloud cover that just means it's hazy instead of dark. Jillian begins moving throughout the ruins, Hoegar watching her back as the others move in behind them move slowly, generally checking out the place above grounds.

The general sense of evil and foreboding is all around, though it gets no greater, and you find nothing of any note, most of the buildings left are nothing but a set of walls, and Jillian finds no signs of any traps or hidden secrets.

By the time you've finished scouting out all of the above grounds, Rocheleen returns from looking around the forest area nearby just in time to meet you in front of the entrance to the stairs going down.

"There are a few clearings nearby, but nothing sheltered other than these ruins." She says to you as she approaches.

 

[doghead]

Somewhat taken aback by the casual way in which the others just wander down into the grounds, he shrugs, mutters something under his breath and carefully follows them down the slight slope to the grounds of temple with his two dogs flanking him. After a careful search of the grounds Hoegor returns to where the others are gathering around Rocheleen.

"There doesn't appear to be anything unusual around the grounds, and no other ways in or out except for the stairs leading down. I still think the safest place to set up camp would be in Temple building. It will provide protection from the wolves and we can guard the stairs. So long as we can clear everything as we go down, Rocheleen and the horses should be safe behind us. If we can't clear everything, then we return to the surface and relocate the campsite.

"Thats just my suggestion," Hoegor adds awkwardly, obviously trying to strike a concillatory tone.

Deirdre sighs as she looks over the rubbles. "It's not so much as a bad place strategically spoken. It's just the aura of this place. I don't feel comfortable at all. Rocheleen, how large are these clearings?"

 

[doghead]

"Aye. Rocheleen has seen both sites. Perhaps we have the wrong of it, it is Rocheleen's decision to make. She will be the one staying with the horses."

 

[Guest 11456]

Jillian nods.

"Well then! Let us figure this out and get moving. I'm ready to get out of this unceasing rain."

 

[doghead]

Hoegor glaces up as if he had forgotten about the rain, then turns to look at Rocheleen.

 

[Guest 11456]

The small halfling nods to Hoegor and then turns to Rocheleen with a smile.

 

[Jemal]

"I'ld feel safe in either place, but would prefer to be as close to the stairs as possible. Lodging the horses in here will give them.. and myself.. relief from the rain, and I have faith in Master William's abilities, he has said the top most levels are safe, so I will stay here." Rocheleen says as you all turn to her "The only question now is whether you want to wait for tommorow or start your search of the lower levels."

 

[Thels]

Deirdre sighs: "Okay, we'll build camp here. In that case, we defenitely need to make sure the upper levels are clear before we make the night. Is everyone okay if we head down today, spending some of our remaining time of the day." Deirdre looks at the others, waiting for their decisions.

 

[doghead]

"I agree with Lady Silvereyes. We should use what remains of the day to confirm what is below, and that it is secure. We need not all go. Some could stay here to help make came and keep an eye on the stairs."*

*OOC: Those that are not here perhaps?
