Q'Barra: Facing Truth Chapter 2

[Yeoman]

"Keep going! We'll barricade the entrance to this floor once we escape. Darrick, Ducerne, it's time for you to fall back."

 

[Shayuri]

Trebuchet considers, then decides.

"I will block their pursuit."

A ball of roiling flame discharges from his arm and rolls lazily down the corridor towards the fighting undead.

Kaelan 27 hp 1 damage healed 7 DR remaining

Kaelan seeing his comrades fleeing, decides that discretion is the better part of valor. He pulls away from the corpse, and moves down the hallway, standing next to Catherine. "Apologies Captain, I don't know what came over me."

Sepoto bounds pell-mell down the corridor, the sounds of his companions fading behind him quickly after his last shouted warning. Coming to a sudden halt, he belatedly realizes that the only sound he hears is his own quickened breathing. Now alone in the darkened catacombs, he spins quickly around in time to see the brilliant, blossoming orange flame of Trebuchet's spell.

Shaking his head, and planting his calloused, flattened palm upon his forhead, he makes to run back the way he came, when Catherine suddenly appears. Wondering what is keeping the others, he exclaims with a wry smile upon his face,

"It seems our retreat goes much the same as our battles!"

 

[Pebele]

(Assuming that Charles will also retreat...)

Ducerne dispatches the rotting corpse, and then holds ground while he encourages Trebuchet and Darrick to retreat.

Once he is satisfied that the group has gotten back a safe distance, he is the last to join them in the large chamber with the staircase. He sheaths his sword as he approaches. "They are not following, yet. I suggest that we exit quickly and rest for the night. But, as Captain, it is obviously your call." He looks to Catherine.

 

[Yeoman]

"Help me barricade this door with whatever we can find, and then we'll figure out what to do."

Once the door is blocked with whatever they can find, she continues.

"Now we don't have to worry about anyone coming to join us. I say we head on down to the barracks area and make camp for the night. We can patch the rest of our wounds, and attend to Kaelan's issues, then make a fresh assault on the lower level in the morning. Agreed? And from now on when I say to withdraw, please do it immediately."

 

[EvolutionKB]

Kaelan

Kaelan's shoulders slump. It could for being reprimanded by Catherine, or for the trials of the day finally catching up with him. "I believe a little rest will do us all good."

 

[Shayuri]

Trebuchet pauses, then nods stiffly.

"As you wish. My damage will require my attention over the night. Some of the work may make noise. It may be best if I have a secure location away from the others while I perform these repairs.""

 

[Rookseye]

Sepoto nods in agreement with Catherine, but eyes the barricaded door warily just the same.

"Captain-Catherine, if it is in agreement with your wishes, Sepoto will take the first watch."

 

[EvolutionKB]

Kaelan

"I would second watch, but I'm afraid Catherine would pin me down and make me rest," he says with a grin. With that said, Kaelan begins arranging his bedding as best he can in the room.
