Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Campaign (ToEE) - Continued

[Dire Lemming]

OOC: Um... you mean 'south and to the west' right? Left is east because we're heading south. The stairs are to the west, or the right.

 

[Rhun]

Okay, so what is the plan? Up and out, or wait for the enemy to find you so you can try to capture someone?

 

[Voadam]

"Go up but keep moving around. We'll see if we can find a few unawares rather than wait for the bands of readied reinforcements to regroup and come upon us en masse."

 

[Rhun]

You continue your withdrawal, up the stairs and into the western vestry of the Temple Proper. All appears as it did the last time you were in this chamber. Broken furniture and housewares lay strewn about, though the dust on the floor appears much more disturbed then before, as if many feet have been moving between stairs and door leading to the chapel.

 

[Dire Lemming]

"So..." Shoon mutters, staring at the door to the chapel.

 

[Dichotomy]

Aeron, breathing heavily from the burden of his armor, looks at the others.

"We have captured no one. We have, I pray, harmed them by killing their brutes. I think it would be folly to venture back in to capture one before we rest. But, it may be prudent to see if they have the folly to follow us out of their stronghold."

 

[Rhun]

Ping!

Actions? Plans? Hopes, dreams and desires?

 

[Dog Moon]

"Perhaps we should find defensive positions and wait a minute or two to see if any of them have followed us," Deren suggests. "Then, if nothing happens, we can leave. If someone does come out, then we have the jump on them and perhaps we can take one alive."

 

[Dire Lemming]

Shoon shakes his head vehemently. "How many more times do you think we will be allowed to do this? Four? Five? Ten? We need to at least get a prisoner this time, or we may as well give up, and I will not give up. We can wait here for them to come, but if they do not, I am heading down there again and getting a prisoner, alone if I have to. Every day we delay is another day those we are supposedly trying to rescue suffer."

 

[Dog Moon]

"I completely agree," Deren tells Shoon, "That we need a prisoner. First we need to make sure we can live through another encounter with these denizens. All we were doing is making sure we're not outflanked, correct? This plan of ours isn't working, charging down, hoping to find a prisoner without any plan. Perhaps we need to think of a more...subtle...plan, at least until we have gotten our information."
