[PbP] The Heroes of Silleria

Kerith, still cautious, advances between the rows of tables, to get a look at the passageways on the right. Rapier is drawn, and buckler is on.

Aha, Alexi remarks more to herself upon entering the kitchen. She'll stay close to the center of the room and look around from there.
 

Xendengalis

Xendengalis will wait while Kerith checks down the passageways. If nothing seems amiss, he will help search the room, including inside the fireplaces.

OOC no actual fires, right? those are just graphics to let us know what they are?
 


Oren, not really gathering what the fuss is about, draws his dagger and footpads a few yards behind Kerith, pausing to look over at Alexi, his eyebrows raised in a "what's-going-on?" expression.
 

Upon noticing Oren's questioning look, Alexi says: Oh, I just realized, that this kitchen is pretty big, and there are rooms beyond it, which probably contain stairs somewhere. She shrugs and continues to look around.
 

(Yes, they are just graphics of fires to represent fireplaces. My selection of icons is fairly limited.)

Kerith & Norynth & Oren: The southern of the two passages extends out of sight. The northern one opens into a scullery, with piles of ancient dirty dishes piled next to a huge sink.

Alexi: The kitchen as a whole looks like it was quickly abandoned. Some implements are on the tables, as if they were set down in the middle of use. Some of the cupboards hang open. It's not disorderly like there was a fight, but disorderly like the cooks all took off in the middle of their shifts.

Xengendalis: Since there seems to be no immediate danger, you begin to search the room. You see a glint of something in the ashes as you approach the fireplaces, and then suddenly everything goes black.

Everyone else: You see a sphere of total darkness engulf Xengendalis (20' radius, centered on the central fireplace). Kerith, Oren, Gertrude and Norynth are positioned near the NE passage to the scullery, Alexi is in the center of the room, Foran, Michelle and Titus are hanging out somewhere near the entrance.

COMBAT BEGINS!

Surprise Round

Enemy(ies): attack Xengendalis (flatfooted), hitting for minor damage. Xengendalis feels the thing that hit him try to attach itself onto him as he is struck, but manages to fend it off.

Initiative:

Enemy(ies): 21
Michelle: 19
Norynth: 15
Oren: 13
blackwing: 12
Kerith: 11
Foran: 11
gertrude: 8
titus: 8
Alexi: 5
Xengendalis: 5
 

Alexi shouts: Back to the corridor!

She then moves back to the corridor herself and casts a Shield spell to protect herself against whatever creatures appeared within that sphere of darkness.

Curses, I don't have the Light spell! Something's trying to attach itself to my head!

Xendengalis will take a blind swing, then take a five foot step back, remembering that this will place him between two tables.

Edit OOC taking some artistic liberties with the head bit :p

Kerith, looking down the northeast passageway with Norynth and Oren, notices the piles of dishes, some of which have grown cobwebs. "Someone's got a lot of work to do when they return to the Keep."

"Nothing down there, it's just a sc- Xen, are you all right? Why is it dark where you are?"

Kerith moves toward the dark circle but not into it, standing outside 10 ft [square M3]. His rapier is drawn, and his buckler is fastened.

[All the lowest initiatives posting first - this is cool! Like Memento! :D]
