Redclaw's Eyes of the Lich Queen

When Talas rises, and hears that Bregan is gone, he merely shakes his head. "I am not sure if he had the stomach for this anyway. The way he was suspicious of our sponsor made it difficult for us to get this far. Hopefully now that he is gone, Sur'kil will be a little more open with us. Not that Bregan was a bad companion." Talas looks around, "I just hope he lives to see home again."

"Kason, you take point when we get to the temple, scout ahead, but not too far ahead. Like we said there is a dragon about and some blackscaled lizardfolk as well." Talas hefts his flail and shield. "I am ready."
 

The party carefully makes its way back to the temple. The bodies of the dead blackscales are still in the well inside the temple portico, and there is no noise coming from the building. It looks as if nothing has disturbed the area since you left yesterday.
 

Hedowin, Mage 5, Hp: 21/21

As they near the entrance to the temple, Hedowin chants,"veneficus loricatus"

He is briefly surrounded by a flash of light, then it dissapates into him.

"Well, I'm glad to see the bodies out here have been undisturbed. Lets take a quick peek to see if the wolverine and bodies in that area have been undisturbed before heading to the other end -- I wouldn't want to leave any enemies to our backs...."

You're pull'n my **** about this dragon thing, right? Mess with the new guy and all that? You know lizardfolks, probably just keep big lizards for pets. Like dogs. Get in a tussle everything seems bigger. I know how it is.

After they get to the temple Kason surveys the carnage. Maybe you killed most of them... and the rest've run off.... Kason's tone is doubtful.

The Brelish suggests a simple system for communicating.
One birdcall if they're supposed to come to help him "fight something"
Two if they need to get down and stay out of sight because something is coming
Three if he's stuck and can't get back but doesn't need help "A patrol is coming by or what have you.... sometimes it'll take fifteen or twenty minutes before they head off. Don't go jumping the wand and starting anything 'til it's in our best interest...

... but if you hear you know, fighting or something, or it sounds like I'm being eaten, or whatever... then... just come, right?
"

Once every signals they're ready the rogue heads off into the jungle. Into the rotting dragon's lair. Sur'kil's doubling my pay for this one.

Chevri slept soundly, curled safely in her bedroll at the base of one of the larger trees. When morning arrived, she woke slowly, languidly, and glanced around the campsite with a the trace of a faint smile on her face- while yesterday had been a terrible and traumatic experience for her, a night's sleep had done wonders to restore her naturally sunny outlook.

But her smile, and much of her optimism for the day faded quickly as she realized that Bregan had left. She went through the ritual of her morning prayers quietly, and when that was done she ate only a bit of her breakfast. Even as they packed up and got ready to return to the temple, she kept glancing almost wistfully off into the tangled jungle, as if she might see the other shifter returning...

As they moved out, she faded to one side of the pack, moving through the tangled brush with uncanny grace, her senses attuned to any threats.

OOC: Anybody need any healing before we move in?
 

Hedowin, Mage 5, Hp: 21/21

"This guy can't be all bad, if he's willing to go off by himself in front." The mage thinks to himself.

He narrows his eyes slightly,"Unless he is some sort of imposter and is seeking to strike a deal with the lizards out of our earshot. Besides, what sort of newcomer would behave this way -- putting themselves in harms way for a bunch of strangers... I think I need to watch this fellow closely. He's either insane or a simpleton. Possibly a combination of both, I suspect."

"Does anyone want to carry the spear we found in the last room? I figured out that it bears a simple enchantment to its balance and sharpness."
 

Talas 42/42hp

Before setting out, Talas inspects his wounds once more, to make sure they hadn't reopened while he slept. They were good, the shifter was better than he had imagined.

Upon the newcomer suggestions of signals, Talas agrees. "Sounds like a decent idea. Drekahad and I are not the quietest in all this armor, so I expect trouble to find us rather quickly."

Upon reaching the temple portico, Talas begins an incantation, first touching himself, then Hedowin.

Chevri looked around the group, checking each of the others. then, finally, she reached over to take the weapon. "If no one else wants it, I will use it. I'm not much of a warrrior, but it seems inauspicious to not put an enchanted weapon to use." With that, she slung her light shield across her back to use both hands for the spear.
 

[sblock=Kason] You quietly make your way into the temple, and there you discover that everything is just as the others described it to you. The wolverine is still alive, chained in the corner of the room, and the blackscales are still sprawled in death, or piled into wells. Most of the treasure in the vestry has been removed, however.

You also locate the secret door and discover a small passageway that returns you to the main hallway.[/sblock]
