New Heroes Arise IC

[Jemal]

There doesn't seem to be anybody down the stairs, and Deirdre can't detect any evil beyond the normal dull presence. What order are you going to go down in?

(OOC: Are Thels, Doghead, and Tailspinner the only Players left? Anyone know what happened to Batchie, Bruin, or Shaff?)

 

[doghead]

OOC: Looks like Hoegor or Dierdre first, with Jillian following with the lantern. The other "fighter should take the tail. Thels, which do you want?

Haven't seen any of the others on the boards for a while.

 

[Thels]

OOC: As a player, I don't really care. As a paladin, I'd prefer to be in the lead.

"Hoegor, can you take the rear, while I lead? If we stick close together, we can aid each other as soon as possible." after that, Deirdre slowly moves down the stairs, keeping her divine sight up.

 

[doghead]

Hoegor nods and drops back as the others start down the stairs.

"Keep an eye on the walls and ceiling so that nothing slips past us. We want to be sure that it is clear behind us."

Hoegor tucks the butt of his spear behind his shoulder, holding it point down so he can both turn and bring it up quickly. Should anyone care to look closely enough, they would see a small smile on his face.

If the passage widens then it may pay to move up front with the paladin, so longs as we can be sure that there is nothing behind us.

OOC: Cheers. See you in a week.

 

[Guest 11456]

Jillian nods to Hoegor and Dierdre, and then follows them in.

 

[doghead]

Hoegor gently *bumps* his spear butt against the back of his shoulder as they move down the stairs.

 

[Jemal]

OOC: Well, Jemal is back after about 2-weeks, time to update stuff.

IC:

The three brave souls enter the tunnel, leaving their companions above. After 20 feet the tunnel widens into a 10X10 room, completely empty. The corridor continues on in the same direction on the other side of the room.

Deirdre doesn't sense any MORE evil than she has been sensing, and none of you can see any signs of recent inhabitation. After another few minutes of walking, you come across a metal door, and the tunnel continues on into the darkness. Jillian hears some faint scuttling sounds from the other side of the door, and Hoegar thinks he can hear breathing, but isn't sure if its from inside the room, or from his companions... though he hasn't noticed it during the walk with them.

 

[doghead]

"I think I can hear breathing," Hoegor whispers to the others, "but I can't be sure.

"Check this room first?

"Lady Silvereyes in first, then myself? Or vice versa?"

 

[Thels]

"Well, breathing is good," Deirdre whispers, "It means no undead. I'm in favor of checking the door. We don't want any surprises. If you don't mind, I'll go first, since I could sense something about the nature of the opposition. I don't take it any of you knows how to check for hidden devices like traps, do you?"

 

[doghead]

Hoegor shakes his head.

"OK," again in a low voice. "You lead in, I'll hold the door."

He turns to their companion.

"Jillian?"
