Paths of Legend: The Sunless Citadel (IC)

[Arkhandus]

Vardok packs up his rope and takes a minute to get Krek under control. The dog was riled up by the rats and the swinging around on the rope, so Vardok had to struggle to get the dog to behave again on the ledge.

Finally, the dwarf takes out one of his torches, and, when everyone else is ready to go down the stairway, lights it. He brandishes his mace after passing the torch to his left hand. "Anaywun wanna carry mah light? Ah'd ratha be free ta scout ah-way frohm it. Ah c'n see well inna dim light, jes' not in total dark."

Darik takes a moment to take in their surroundings. He then reaches for the dwarfs torch and fits it into his shield hand behind the protective device. He then draws his blade and moves to follow the spider.

"We had best be careful. It's hard to tell what is down here with us." With that, he follows Merenita as she is clearly best suited to lead right now.

OOC:
If there's a problem with him having his shield and the torch in the same hand let me know. This is just something that we always used at the table. If so, and somebody else would rather carry it, that's cool too.

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

Given that there is enough light from torches, Lenya will head to a position in the front ranks of the large group, where she can protect the others best with her fighting talents.

Kael stands near the rear of the group, allowing those to pass before him so he can take rearguard. His eyes attuned to dim light he knows he's well equipped for protecting the less martial members of this group. He attempts to think of something to say that might be helpful or useful in the coming situation, but nerves begin to creep into his thoughts, worries of the unknown, of the dark. He's an elf, born and raised in the woods. Cold in the winter yet bright, warm in the summer and brighter still. But underground, well, it just made him uncomfortable.

With his bow out and his sword loosened in its scabbard, Kael makes eye contact with any who hesitantly look behind them, giving them a reassuring nod despite his own misgivings.

OOC: You can hold an item in your shield hand with a light shield or a buckler, but not with a heavy shield. As long as Darik isn't using a heavy shield (EN World is still being slow or I would check his character sheet), he's fine.

 

[Scott DeWar]

Delber is not carrieing anything. he can carry the tourch and still cast a spell. he will stand in the middle so as to make the torch's light most useful. . . if that will work?

 

[Max]

"I can see fine down here. You want me in front, where the torch light won't be as strong?" Kelset asks. He's not too worried about where he is in the order. He will switch to mace and shield, putting his crossbow away.

 

[Arkhandus]

Vardok and his dog follow behind Kelset, about 10 feet behind. Vardok draws his mace and short sword in anticipation of another fight.

 

[maddmic]

Darik nods and motions for Kelset to move in front of him. He doesn't like others going before him, but he realizes that there are others better suited than he to navigate the darkness.

OOC:
He does in fact have a heavy shield. oh well. I suppose if nobody else will/can carry it, he will carry the torch until combat is needed.

Delber will carrey the torch as he needs only one free hand for spell casting
