Paths of Legend - Tragedy at Silvergard

[crazy_monkey1956]

Tarkesi chuckles a little at Estelle, "Oh, no, no, no, of course not. I just meant that the cavern opening could fit something the size of a dragon. You know like a...uh...well, nevermind."

 

[Yttermayn]

Aohdan looked to be feeling better, enough so that he was able to rejoin the conversation. "Uh, yeah. I'm not really thrilled at the undergroung idea, but I don't really see a better tactical alternative." he said unhelpfully.

Noticing the look and movement, Alaric quietly asks Corath "What's wrong? Don't worry about Iphithis, he's probably just upset about something. I don't know what, but we'll probably see him again before we leave. Well, perhaps, anyway."

Corath looks in the direction Iphithis left. Alaric knows Iphithis. Perhaps I can learn more from Alaric. She turns her attention toward Alaric. "Of course."

Her gaze shifts to the halfling known as Tarkesi. He sounds familiar, too. He is also a link to the half-elf. I can stay with this group and still find the Voice. She confidently settles herself to listen to the conversation, offering no input to what's been said so far.

Assuming the rest of his companions agree with the tunnel route, Johen asks Tarkesi:
"Well.. it looks like your tunnel route is our prefered option.. how long will it take us
to get there and do we need climbing equipment?"

 

[Jemal]

Throughout it all, William just kind of stood there, his head swimming a little.. it had been a while since he'd drank, and it seemed to be bothering him. That language, though.. something about it nagged at him... (Know: Religion 13)

 

[Helfdan]

Valen knows something important just passed between Corath and Iphitis, but he does not think it is germane to the mission. "Master Tarkesi... I am assuming one of you can guide us to, or point out on a map, the location of this tunnel. But... is it guarded? Do you know if Lord Velestri left any wards?"

After mulling it over in his thoughts a bit, William realizes that Iphithis and Tarkesi were speaking in Celestial a moment ago.

Tarkesi continues in his conspiratorial whisper, "Climbing gear..hmm...I don't know. Maybe. The tunnel was done as far as the excavation and being able to get in and out goes...but finished as in easy to get through...that I'm not so sure of. Norali will be able to guide you there. As I said, it was really rough last I knew so I don't think any wards or traps or anything like that were put in...at least not during Velestri's time. If there's anything there, it was put in after we evacuated."

Tarkesi stands and straightens out his shirt a bit, saying to Norali, "You'll be allright with this bunch?"

The younger halfling replies quietly, "Yes, uncle."

"Good, because I must be off. I must see what sort of chaos has ensued with Miraki trying to stuff two dozen Tals into my little house. Any last minute questions before I go?"

 

[Arkhandus]

"Hm. Any of you got a rope, grappling hook, and some spikes or anything like that? I can't climb very well at all, and I can't really afford a slew of climbing gear myself. I suppose this tunnel's our best bet. Tarkesi, thanks for the information." Alaric responds.

 

[Helfdan]

Valen bowed his head in thought. At least one thousand orcs. A secret, hastily built secret tunnel. No wonder they sought professionals for this mission. "Only one thing, neighbor. Do we have access to a map of the barony, and if possible, of the mines?"
