Rhun's Weekend Game - Dwellers of the Forbidden City - IC Thread

"Yes, lets go. Perhaps this invisibility will see some extra use if we press on."

She chuckles.

OOC: Direction? See post 179 above for choices.

Looking at the bog with distaste, Helios says, "Shall we head west into the city? Seems like our best bet."

 

[Kobold Stew]

"I am most comfortable in the swamp, but I suggest that we head for the ruins near the cliff face, unless someone has some other idea."

As he says this, he examines the three routes for signs of traffic and movement -- Yuan-ti tracks are more interesting than goblin ones, but both would be distinctive.

Sandor then turns to his wolf, and speaks under his breath "...unless you pick up the scent of the chld we are following?"

 

[Falkus]

Seril cleaned off his blade and resheathed it. Placing his longbow over his shoulder and chest, he joined Sandor in checking for tracks.

The battle over, Zeddicus walks to the fallen snake-man and picks up the falchion. Giving it a few practice swings he places it back. "I've never really liked swords that big." He mumbles to no one in particular.

Standing in the center of the intersection, he says to Helios. "I agree. Aside from Sandor, I don't think we'd do well in the swamp."

 

[Rhun]

Although you can't pick out individual tracks, there is obviously some amount of traffic that follows the road. Tracks lead both north toward the bog, and west toward the city proper. Wolf is unable to detect any sign that the chieftain's son has passed in this direction.

 

[Kobold Stew]

"Hmm. Look at these tracks. Nothing apparently heading to the cliff face. If the bog is out, it becomes a question of whether or not we head for conflict or try to avoid it..."

The Lizardman's teeth appear as his lips retract.

"I've eaten well, and I still say that the cliff face and the ruins will offer us something. Unless someone objects, let us head there."

Sandor pauses for a few moments, and [if he hears no objection] leads the way towards the ruins.

 

[Shayuri]

"Agreed," Talshia comments invisibly. "There may even be things of interest in the ruins quite aside from goblins and yuan-ti."

The broken road east ends after about seventy or eighty feet in a cluster of ruined buildings, shattered stone, and other debris. Weeds, creepers and other growth are present everywhere. Travel is slow in this area, the rough terrain uneven and hacing a tendency to shift beneath your feet. This area of ruins seems to end about fifty feet further on, quite near to the cliff wall. You don't see any signs of life or habitation.
