"Yeah, I washed out there this morning, and it was nice. Let me get me pack out of the other room..." Kerith begins to help Norynth toward that way, then stops, and turns back toward the group.
"Wait. Did anybody notice any ports on that side? I'd hate for the current residents of the Keep to see us or anything."

Nods at Kerith
If I recall correctly, we could barely see the keep from where we came in, it was several hundred feet above us. I don't want to underestimate the goblins, but I think we'd be very safe there. They'd need a spyglass and guards specifically watching down the cliffs to spot us. If we can find a safe way to scale the cliffs without being seen, we could reconnoiter the keep and get a better idea of what we're facing. Perhaps one of you has a spyglass? You don't? They are very expensive, I know. Well, even if we can't find an easy way up, if we stay at the bottom of the cliff, we should be safe from anyone spotting us. If we're lucky, we might even find a secluded grove of trees or even a small cave to give us some extra concealment. Either way though, nothing beats spending the night under the stars and waking in the morning to Pelor's glorious light!
(If we spend the night, I'll use cure light and cure minor to heal norynth up to 2 under, then spend the rest on anyone else - his dogs were injured weren't they? ooc game ruling: does cure minor heal 2hp because of my healing domain?)
Sniffs self
Argh! I should've washed too!
Pauses thoughtfully.
You know, maybe we could take a look at the portcullis mechanism. Perhaps there's a way to jamb it in the open position. If it works at all, after being abandoned all these years that is. I always like to keep an escape route open, especially if its the only one we have!

OOC: since we have pretty much a new group, and assuming Alexi is either already with us or will meet us if/when we camp outside, I'd like to suggest:
Marching order:
Point: Norynth and Kerith
Second: Oren
Third: Foran
Fourth: Alexi
Rear: Xendangalis
Make sense more or less? Maybe another option is:
Point: Norynth and Kerith
Second: Xendangalis
Third: Alexi
Rear: Foran and Oren
Any thoughts? I'm open to anything.

The divine power of Xendengalis cure's Norynth's physical wounds after 2 castings of cure light. You retreat to the small ledge outside the secret door for some fresh air.
(rolls for time of day)
It is now mid-afternoon and the cloudscape is fantastic, though the open sea doesn't offer much of a view itself. From this angle, it is impossible to see anything at the top of the cliff, including the remnents of the surface fortifications that you know must be up there. Every now and again, you imagine you hear faint snatches of voices from high above, but you cannot be certain. At some point Norynth thinks he smells a faint whiff of smoke, as from a cook fire, but again it passes without confirmation.
These signs, whether real or imagined, cast a pall over the evening and you converse only in low tones, and you feel it is too risky to have a fire.
You try to spend the night in the open, enjoying the sea air, but awake in the middle of the early night to find the incoming tide lapping at your bedrolls. Grumbling, you are forced to move inside, to your safe-room.
The following morning, Norynth feels better. His wounds are healed, but he is still not as hale and hardy as his usual self. You fear it will take some time to fully work the effects of the venom from his body, but at least he's in one piece.
(OOC: those of you who spent your potions rejuvinating Norynth, assume you kept them and let Xendengalis patch him up instead.)

Could've sworn this was the base of a cliff, not just a little ledge
Scratches his head.
OOC: Assuming Alexi is here...
Alexi, what do you think about sending your raven up to give us the lay of the land? From a good distance of course

Xendengalis kneels down and starts his morning meditations. You can almost feel him gathering the divine power of Pelor within him, to use in pushing back the forces of darkness.
