RESTARTED - Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Campaign (tToEE) - PART III

Dara

“Well, I have no practical experience with that kind of magic, but in theory the circle should hold it even if we attack it, unless the circle itself gets damaged. I assume, that the summoner knew what he was doing. It certainly looks like it. The problem is, the magic won't last forever, maybe a few hours, maybe a few days still. But if we leave it, eventually, it will get out of it and then we might face it under less favourable conditions.”

 

[Legildur]

"Leave well enough alone, I say," says Kurt. "If it be trapped there then it can't harm us. The longer we tarry, the longer the defenses have to converge on us, for if Coraine is right in that it was trying to delay us, then that is what they are doing right now. And I don't want to meet them where they expect us to be."

 

[Rhun]

Trevor searches the steps ahead of him, and the walls to either side, but doesn't discover any concealed portals. Just the trapdoor set in the ceiling above, easily reached by walking up the steps.

"I can find no way out of this place, except yon obvious one there," says Trevor pointing up at the trap door above.

[sblock=Rhun]As far as 'accuracy' of the rumor Trev spouted is concerned, well, it is just a rumor, and Granny Champlaign surely was no Summoner, either! [/sblock]

 

[Legildur]

Kurt nods in satisfaction. "Thought it might be a decoy," he mutters. "Up?" he asks quietly, looking to the others.

[sblock=Leif]
Ha, so you think! Guess who the BBEG is going to be? Granny Champlaign in all her Elemental Evil Summoning glory!

[Scotley]

Verdis

The warlock concurs, "Up." He is looking over his shoulder even more than usual with thoughts of fiery demons on his heels.

Trevor sighs, "I always go where I'm told. Well, sometimes, at least." Unless somebody else moves to do so, Trevor begins moving up the stairs, searching quickly as he goes. When he reaches the door he will listen carefully.

 

[Rhun]

Trevor gains the top of the stairs, and presses his ear against the trapdoor, listening for any sounds from beyond. The rest of you wait patiently behind him.


OOC: Hope to have a better post up tonight or possibly tomorrow depending on how the rest of the night goes.

COMBAT - Surprise Round

As Trevor presses his head against the trapdoor, listening for signs of enemy above, you all suddenly hear an evil cackling sound from behind...a voice that is assuredly not the demon. A short verse of arcane words follow, and then a powerful stroke of lightning zips down the narrow hallway, electrifying you all.

You all try to jump out of the path of the blast, and most of you succeed; Ragnok and Daran take the full brunt of the powerful stroke. Your bodies all twitch and shudder, but you manage to shake off the worst; except Dara: she looks as though she may fall at any moment.

As your bodies convulse, spark and smoke, you manage to turn to regard a tall slender man standing behind you. He sports a bald head and short, arrowshaped goatee. He is well-dressed in plush black silk robes lined with silver-white ermine fur; the robes themselves have glyphs and such stiched onto them, in fine silvery thread. The man grins evilly at you. "Kneel before the might of Falrinth!" he cries.


SURPRISE ROUND; Initiative Count below goes into effect on Round 1, which I will post shortly.
