Party of five. Day 1.

[mariusm]

Day 2, 16:00.

Smaller folk scatter in all directions at the approach of the shifter barbarian... Skakan seems alarmed by the sudden movements of the party. Please, please my big friend, keep your anger for the creatures of the light (Being a bit partial to dark places like all goblins!), let me take some of that silver off your hands and I will show you the way to ADVENTURE! ".

The various traders and merchants are all starting to be more interested in what is happening at Skakan's table than their own. The activities of Uri is starting to attract attention...

Morphain

Morphain hands over the 60sp and says, "Thank you. May the sun never touch your eyes."
He turns to the rest of the party and says, "Lets get our own shifter back and get going. the sooner were started the sooner were all rich."

 

[ShaggySpellsword]

Adal walks over to Uri and says "Come freind Uri, we have negotiated a guide that will enable us to complete our mission. Let us go."

Day2, 17:00

The party walks for a while and then Skakan points out a narrow passage that leads to a staircase that descends
deeper into the tower. With each step down, the odor of mold and sewage becomes stronger, and you can hear liquid sounds increasing in volume as you descend.

The passage that you need to enter is very narrow, only 5' wide, forcing the party to walk in single file.

The marching order will be as follows unless someone objects: Uri, Adal, Morphain, Aronsetash, Buckler.

Party gold is now 102gp.

Morphain

Morphain keeps his cloak wrapped tightly about him. "Ug. I hate wetness. Especially not wetness I can't identify."
The Changling Sorcerer keeps his eyes pealed for signs of the supposed Clawfoot dinos in the sewers.

 

[ShaggySpellsword]

"In case Morphain's suspicions are correct..."

Adal concentrates for a moment, manifesting both a blade and a shield before continuing.

"I imagine this path will be frought with danger. We should be ready for it."

 

[Morpheus]

Uri draws his his shortspear and walks carefully-picking his steps to avoid anything that looks
hazardous to his health.

Day2, 17:00. Surprise round.

As the party slowly descends the stairs into the sewer they get to a bend...

Spot Checks:
Uri: 3 + 0 vs 18 (Failure)
Adal: 10 + 5 vs 18 (Failure)
Morphain: 19 + 1 vs 18 (Success)
Aronsetash: 15 + 2 vs 17 (Failure)
Buckler: 18 + 2 vs 20 (Success)

Only Morphain and Buckler can act during the surprise round.

As Uri and Adal pass the bend and descend into a wider tunnel Morphain and Buckler spot something hiding in the shadows! A warforged strikes from the shadows, his rapier piercing the air with deadly efficiency. "You have the provost's journal," the warforged says. "It's not a question. Give the book to me, and you can live to see another day. Refuse, and we will make your deaths slow and painful."

A shallow trench, about 2 feet below the tunnel floor, runs down the center of the tunnel, carrying sewer water from east to west. A thick grate allows water to flow from the east, but is otherwise impassable. Metal iris valves, evenly spaced along the tunnel walls, open at regular intervals to dump more water into the tunnel.

From where he is standing Uri can see two shifters a little way down the tunnel, he is sure one of them looks like the shifter from the Rat's Market!

Initiative order after the surprise round:

Adal (Init 16)
Warforged (Init 15)
Shifter 1 (Init 15)
Buckler (Init 13)
Uri (Init 12)
Shifter 2 (Init 9)
Morphain (Init 8)
Aronsetash (Init 6)

As the Warforged will act before Morphain and Buckler he took a swipe at Morphain with his rapier... missing him barely with the rapier poking a hole in Morphain's cloak!

Actions please.

OCC: White areas are floor, brown areas are walls, green areas are water.

 

[Morpheus]

Uri embraces the anger that wells up inside and charges the nearest of the shifters.
OOC: Raging and charging shifter #2.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Morphain

"GAAA" Morphain cries as the blade cuts his clothing. As a sheer reflex he uses his magic to shrink himself.

ooc: Use Reduce person on himself.
