Paths of Legend - Tragedy at Silvergard (Vol 2)

Flight to the Plateau

Aleera is the last to join the group. She is quiet, offering a brief look of worry to Valen.

Norali bids the group farewell, "Don't worry, Johen, we'll find a way to destroy the Dagger. Good luck."

Abeil warriors pick up the companions and begin to fly toward the plateau. From this vantage point, the companions can see the entire Abeil valley. As they continue to gain altitude, they can see the mountain trail they took up to this point, winding through the treacherous slopes.

Finally, the group is deposited at the edge of the plateau. William recognizes the layout now that he's on the ground. The cavern he emerged from that held the magical flying vessel dock is off to the right about 100 yards. The mine entrance is further away to the left. Straight ahead is the ruins of the town, including the out of place building. Further than that, the ruins of the keep.

Once he recovers from a minor bout of nausea, Aohdan readies his longbow and peers pensively around their new surroundings.

 

[Voda Vosa]

Muzdum is, again, a burden for the Abeils. The dwarf didn't stop his continuous movement while flying, grumbling about his "unconfortability," and about the facts that make dwarfs not suited for flying. Once landed, the dwarf stomps the firm soil under his feet, and draw his crossbow, loading a volt in it. "Well,'ts time te mov' on!" he exclaims.

ooc: did the abeil queen have any information of value regarding the plateau/ruins?


Johen's natural suspicion and sense of paranoia leads him to have a private discussion with the Guard Captain or a Counsellor to the Queen. In essence, he warns them against Norali who seemed to behave sometimes strangely, be affected by something and suggests to get the Dagger safely stored in the Hive Treasure Room (or equivalent) and not left with Norali. He apologizes for his seemingly rude behaviour but explains the powerful nature of the Dagger and some of their previous encounters..

Outside, Johen checks that his belongings are firmly in place - yes he's worried! - and lets the Abeils lift him in the sky. He enjoys the flight and so does Highflyer who keeps on doing all sorts of acrobatic moves in the air.


OOC2: during our stay, Johen would have offered CLW so that everyone his at top HP.

 

[Arkhandus]

"Aye, but...who're you?" Alaric says, turning to the unfamiliar elven woman. Unlike the others, he doesn't sport any shiny new weapons, armor, or other trinkets, but he looks ready to go.

(ooc: okay, that's wierd...when I went to this thread, it took me to the previous page, which ended with Corath's entrance as an elven lady. Stupid forum didn't show me the *last* page.) -_-

 

[Helfdan]

Valen

On landing the gruff ranger readies his bow and promptly searches for tracks suggesting that humanoids may patrol this area. [sblock=ooc]Tracking:17/19vs. humans[/sblock]

OOC: Minor bump while we patiently await Jemal and shadowmask's replies.

Aleera, still uncomfortable with the abeils, brushes herself off after the winged warrior sets her down and unsuccessfully tries to suppress a shudder as if feeling bees crawling on her skin. She readies her longbow and stands near Valen, watching for signs of enemies while the ranger is busy looking for tracks.

 

[Amaury]

OOC: any information from the Abeil Queeney on the plateau/ruins..??

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

The abeil's knowledge of the plateau is limited. They never made contact with the community there when it was still a community ten years ago. When the orcs came surging across the mountains during the Shadow War, the abeil Queen said that the abeil simply abandoned their hive and built a new one after the dust had settled after the war. The plateau community was already gone by then.

 

[Amaury]

Johen lands relatively softly and almost disappointedly. THe flight experience was so exhilirating. Highflyer quickly lands on his shoulder.

The Tureni Druid waves off his Abeil companions and starts to look at their surroundings. His instinct is to search for some form of cover - quickly.

So he starts by checking his surrounding and proposes to his companions to follow him once he finds some cover.

There he asks:"So, anyone's got a plan??"
