[PbP] The Heroes of Silleria

[Guilt Puppy]

Do you think they were smart enough to guess that Blackwing might be an arcane familiar?

"Smart? Seeing a bird and thinking it's an arcane familiar, that's not smart, that's paranoid..."

"You're right about keeping this door locked, though... Doesn't look like they've come down here from either side, so that's one less side for them to find out about. Kerith, you know how to rig up something like that?"

 

[MerakSpielman]

You all duck into the passage and shut the door. You can see no obvious way to lock it, but the outer face does look very much like natural stone. Unless the goblins suspect a secret door, you think it is very unlikely that they will find it.

Alexi: You try to question Blackwing more closely on the creatures he saw: Mistress, there were many of them. More of them than there are of you. You describe goblins to him, hoping he can tell you at least this much. It was hard to tell. Their skin was largely obscured by that metal stuff two-legged people wear to keep safe. Their voices sounded strange. I do no think they spoke the same way you speak. Does this help?


You are again in the humid, moldy entrance corridor to the lower levels of the Keep. You have two ways to go - further east along the northern corridor, or south from the fungus room.

"Smart? Seeing a bird and thinking it's an arcane familiar, that's not smart, that's paranoid..."

Heh, what was I thinking?

Grins sheepishly

Edit:You want to go south? Might as well clear the whole place out, I say. On the other hand, those plant creatures were pretty nasty...

Edit:Besides, I don't think we searched that fungus room, did we? I'm guessing it was a kitchen or dining area of some sort. What would they keep in Myrtolo's kitchen? Oil? Tools? A healing kit? Maybe even a decanter of endless water? Some good whiskey?

Xendengalis rambles on, but at the thought of whiskey, he starts to smile

 

[Thanee]

Thank you, Blackwing.

Alexi strokes Blackwing's feathers rewardingly, then turns to the others, while the bird takes place on her shoulder.

I havn't been in here yet, so I guess you better decide where to go... and I'll just follow you.

 

[Uriel]

Having obliterated signs of the Companions' presence from the enteryway, Norynth enters the Dungeon once again. He felt better than the Cleric thought he would at this point, though weakened still. Titus was trooping right along, but Norynth gave him a Heel command, telling him to stay with Alexi, thinking she was the one least likely to get into heavy combat (hopefully).
oving to the front with Gert, Norynth says 'I feel well enough to continue, especially if it's to lessen the numbers of Goblinkind upon the face of this good World. I saw we should rest for a few hours and then strike out again, but in here we should stay, lest any more know we are here.'

 

[Thanee]

I hope he doesn't bite...

Alexi winks at Norynth while patting Titus.

 

[silentspace]

Xendengalis moves up to take a position about 30' behind Norynth. Close enough to charge into battle, but far enough back that his clanky armor won't cramp Norynth's style. (At a door he'll be right behind or next to him). If Norynth took his shield, he grips his mace with both hands.

 

[Uriel]

OoC:Titus is a Bosten Terrier, so your ankles might get bit at the most, ok maybe a knee. Um, not that's there's a Boston or anything...
Norynth doesn't need the Shield, thanks anyways. He fights with either the bastard sword and a short sword or the bastard sword in both hands.

IC: Titus keeps a vigilant watch over the Lady-Mage, occassionally eyeing the black bird with interest.

 

[Guilt Puppy]

Oren claps a hand on Foran's shoulder. "Shall we take rear watch?"

He moves into position a few yards behind Alexi -- close enough to get to her defense in case of an attack from the side, but still far enough back that threats from behind will be troubled to get within striking distance of the caster.

 

[MerakSpielman]

I'm not getting a clear consensus on an actual course of action...
