[PbP] Treasure Hunt - Emerald DMing

"Most settlements near the sea? Really?" Jarrad thinks a bit.

He goes with Cid's plans and starts breaking the weapons.

"Those are good ideas, Cid. Thanks. Let's get moving East then, leaving the half orcs & any surviving orcs.

"So, what did you guys do before you were kidnapted by slavers?"
 

You are able to stablize three of the orcs, they will are still uncouscious though. You break the weapons that you do not take. You leave Hafkris there as well. You continue east and after approx. 2 hrs, see what appears to be the temple:

The building before you was doubtless a beautiful temple in its day - two stories in height, crafted from well-fitted planks of dark hardwoods brought from the mainland. THe windows were spacious and cheerful, closed against the wind with brightly-painted shutters; a gate of well crafted wrought iron once stood before the large front door, and a trellis for well-tended ivy once leaned against the right half of the front face of the temple.

Today, after 60 years of neglect, the temple is a wreck. The expensive wood is old and pitted, cracked and decayed. The windows are all still spacious, but most of hte shutters are gone; the few that remain bang open and closed in the wind, or hang crookedly from a single hinge. The wrought iron gate is as intricate as ever, but rusted over, rusted clear though in places. The ivy once planed as decoration now covers the entire right side of the front side of the temple.
 

"I was a mercenary, simple as that," says Jarrad. "I don't understand why you want to save the orcs. Let them stay dead. They breed like rabbits anyway."

At the temple, Jarrad says, "A place for you to rest, priest. Offer me healing quickly, as the survival of the group depends on it."
 

Reinert

"Let me check it out, first. Be ready to come to my aid if need be."

Reinert will creep up to the gates, listen & look around. If he sees & hears nothing, he will attempt to enter the grounds through a rusted through portion of the gates. He'll keep his shortbow across his back, his club held w/both hands.
 


Reinert: You creep up to the gate. You hear and spot nothing. You pull open the gate and it squeaks loudly. As you go through the gate, you see the heavy wooded doors in front of you and overgrown, unkept gardens around you. You see nothing else of import.
 

Reinert

I'll motion the gang to follow me in. THen I'll approach the doors carefully, & listen for sounds within. I also examine the doors. Are they locked?
 


Capellan said:
I move up to the gates, keeping my crossbow ready.

"Mark my words, we're going to regret letting that damn half orc live."
"I thought we were to bring him with us, and allow me time to gradually convert him. Apparently not so, and as such, I'm gong to now see if my prayers will be answered."

Cid cerimoniously takes his eyes to the sun, and opens his heart. He prays for the gifts of his god to come to him now, twelve past his normal time of grants, in hopes to be able to heal the individuals he has taken under his stewardship.
