Not With a Bang, I: Its Own Reward

[LazarusLong42]

With a majority indicating they intend to move on, we'll plan for y'all to do just that. My guess is that Nojin's planning to toss those rocks down one corridor, then go down the other, or something like that? Casar, let me know what you're planning.

Sam: CLW roll 2+1=3 points healed.

Manzanita, note that you now have two of those potions. In fact, since you're going to search the other body near you, you find:

2 potions of CLW;
10 gp, 30 sp;
One small handaxe--it appears to be very fancy--and a small dagger as an apparent backup, but that very plain looking;
The goblin is wearing leather armor, also quite fancy, with several patches of interesting needlework. It, too, is small-sized.
You also find, oddly enough, a small book tucked into the goblin's inner pocket. You glance through it quickly, and it appears to be some sort of journal, written in Goblin. You can read date headers printed at the top of each entry; the last entry was for yesterday.

Rybaer: Where the heck is Trinket, lately?

Let me know which corridor y'all're planning to head down.

Rybaer: Where the heck is Trinket, lately?

[ooc: I seem to recall telling him to stay outside and keep an eye on the entrance or something like that. Didn't want him coming inside and getting into trouble.]

 

[Sam]

Grunlor

Sam: CLW roll 2+1=3 points healed.

"Och, that helped. I'm still feeling a bit of pain though. Is there any other healing to spare?"

(OOC: Currently at 6 of 12 hp)

 

[Manzanita]

Arkan

Arkan works quickly, but calmly, pulling out her emty sack from her backpack & filling it with the coins. "We can divvy these up later. Need more healing, Grunlor? Here's another, go ahead & take these two, while you're at it. Keep one for later. We should remember to take this leather armor on the way out; it looks interesting. Can anyone detect for magic?" Arkan will also take the fancy looking handaxe as her second melee weapon. After standing, she will open the book and start reading the last day's journal entry, if necessary, letting the rest of the party pass her before following them.

 

[Rybaer]

"Yeah, I can detect magic," Grinder says. "Just once, though. We might want to wait until we've got all the potential loot we're prepared to haul out in out in one spot before I go casting the spell."

"Find anything useful in that book?"

 

[Casar Couer De' Lion]

"Bah no need to be messen with any books or loot, there be goblins to slay."


Nojin than pockets a couple stones and storms off in some direction taking the lead.


OOC: Laz do you by chance have a copy of my character, I lost the version I had when my harddrive decided to fry itself.

"Yeah, I can detect magic," Grinder says. "Just once, though. We might want to wait until we've got all the potential loot we're prepared to haul out in out in one spot before I go casting the spell."

"Ahem, let me remind you, that your's truly is also able to detect magic," Baril says. "And unlike them disciplined wizards, I can do it many times in any given day, if needed. With all respect to Grinder and his abilities, of course," Baril says smiling to the dwarven evoker.

Baril casts detect magic and goes through the loot found so far.

"I also suggest, that since Tuli is wounded and I haven't got a scratch yet hiding behind your backs with the lantern, she should hold the light so I can be more useful in combat using my shortbow."

Baril hands the lantern over to Tuli with a look on his face, that he's not going to take no for an answer. The bard is worried about Tuli, who's already been struck down once and next time there might not be any healing spells available, like Brevin told.

Casar: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=58342 Your character is about halfway down the thread.

Baril casts detect magic, if a bit haughtily. The potions and the scroll light up, but nothing else, which causes Grinder to chuckle softly. He then hands the lantern off to Tuli, who accepts it with a look.

Arkan skims through the last couple entries in the journal, but nothing of consequence stands out, except the fact that the goblin (now deceased) was well-read. The entries merely detail his thoughts of his activities over the last couple of days, which have included hunting for food, and trade with a nearby goblin hold. There is some talk of "converting" the goblins in that hold, though to what and from what they are to be converted is not apparent.

Grunlor (I assume) downs another potion. He can feels cuts and bruises mending as he is restored to full health (roll 6+1=7).

Nojin, tired of waiting, takes his rocks and heads down the right-hand corridor (OOC: chosen randomly). He sees light about thirty feet ahead, but nothing else obstruct his vision.

OOC: I'm going to assume marching order is now:
Nojin--Grunlor
Baril--Brevin
Tuli--Grinder
Arkan

Unless someone tells me differently So, do y'all continue down the right-side corridor?

 

[Manzanita]

Arkan

"Nothing in the book that I can see. I'll read it more later." Arkan slips the book into her backpack, makes sure the CLW potions are readily accessible in her belt pouch, readies her bow and arrows, and follows the group down the hallway. She lets them get a few paces ahead to allow her better listen & spot checks behind them.

 

[Zerth]

Baril wields his shortbow and follows the frontline fighters, staying about 10 feet behind them.
