"I think we have little choice: the manor it is."

I wait for Reinert to scout the garden, remaining just inside the door of the temple, wrapped in both of my cloaks, but still shivering occasionally, more from distaste than genuine cold.

Jarrad nods his head. "The manor it'll be," he says.

From the garden, you can see the manor below.

The manor is an "H" shaped building, very long and low. It seems to be built of granite. The exterior looks like it has stood up to the elements better than the temple. Unlike the temple, all the exterior windows have solid-looking, if rusty bars across them. It looks as though it was made to be defended, though it's no castle.

You can see the orcs and goblins at opposite ends of the manor. There is a cluster of orc-guards in front of the entrance to the northwest wing, and a trickle of orc traffic between there and the barracks, a little north-west of the manor. There is a somewhat larger cluster of goblin-guards in front of the entrance to the southeast wing, and a cooresponing trickle of goblin traffic between there and the stables, a little to the south-east.

Ther terrain around the manor is rolling with great patches of grasses and weeds and scrub growing all over. A depression, some sort of little ditch or break in the ground, starts a few hundred feet southwest of the manor and runs almost to the southwest wing.
 


Reinert

OOC: Manzanita = Poto Knezer & most of my subsequent posts will be under this nic.

Since we are veiwing the manor from the "North door", then I assume we're looking at the South side of the manor. Thus that ditch does seem like the best way in. Are we all in agreement? I'll lead the way by a bit. The dirt will be good for you Cat, it might get your hair dark again."

Reinert winks at the half elf.

OOC: No offense intended to Cativo. Reinert is a surly bastard (with a heart of gold), just like his real-life namesake, Kenneth Wayne Reinert, 1943 - 2002. May he rest in peace.

Reinert

OOC: Bump. Hey. Where's our DM? I was enjoying this game. Reinert's heading for the ravine to scout out the path to the manor.
 


So, is it safe to assume you are all entering the depression and creeping in the mud to the manor? What is you marching, or rather crawling, order?

OOC: sorry about the silence, life with a one year old can be exhausting :)

I think the rogue should crawl first, then I should follow behind. The Cleric after that and what's left at the back. ;)

OOC: i understand. My bro has a 9 month old. cute little bugger though.
 

Reinert

Reinert has already started out in the lead, carrying his short bow in his hand.

OOC: I know. I have a 3 yr old & a 15 month old. I often type w/one in my lap. This is why I rarely put in a lengthy post.
