S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Gold

[EvolutionKB]

Morph

Morph nods his head, "If you can take care of the scrying at least for now, that would be ideal, especially so close to our destination."

 

[s@squ@tch]

The dwarf's dragonmark glows brightly where uncovered by the plate armor, causing the goliath to shimmer briefly.

Afterwards, Morph still can make out the invisible disc trailing behind the large humanoid.

 

[Graf]

Canna do more tahday.
Hudder presses his lips into a thin line and spits on the ground.

He's uncharacteristically quiet for the next hour or so; following the group from the rear.

[sblock=Position]So I think the order would would be something like

Ganyon
Dreadnought

(middle of the party?)

Void?​

Hudder[/sblock]

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Void follows the party from the back, hidden from sight.
He is anxious to see if the mind flayer is among them somehow

 

[s@squ@tch]

The rest of the day passes uneventfully, as you head further into the dark recesses of the jungle of Xen'drik.

You note a marked increase in scorpions, however, coming across several scorpion mounds in small clearings.

Shortly after sundown, a makeshift camp is made. Ganyon leaves the group in order to hunt for dinner, leaving the rest of the group to figure out the sleeping arrangements, as Morph notes that they now number 9 people total, and his magical rope space only holds 7 (or 8, if the rope is not pulled into the space).

Lo-Kag speaks, saying that he will spend the evening under the stars, the large goliath has not been particularly comfortable in the enclosed space. Atop a mountain, or underneath one, is quite natural for his people, but a magical box felt more like a prison to him.

OOC: Sleeping and/or watch arrangements?

 

[Rolzup]

"I can take the first watch," Darv offers. "I'd prefer to sleep above, in safety, however."

 

[EvolutionKB]

Morph

Morph pulls out his rope and prepares to cast his spell. As the rope mystically climbs into the air, Morph looks around their camp. "Your Dragonmark did nothing to prevent the scying today. We are still being watched."

"I care not who rests above. Just know now that we are in drow territory now, and with intelligent foes lurking about we are even less safe than before." Swiftly, small barbs grow from the warforged hands and feet, and he quickly ascends the rope, much like a spider. Morph sticks his head out of the extradimensional space and speaks again. "Perhaps the shifter would stay outside as well. He might have the same reasons as Lo-Kag"

 

[Graf]

Hudder looks at Darv.I'm na' doubt'n yer bravery good scholar. Nor tha' spirit o' yer offer. But yer best up in tha hole. No offence tah ya, but any light'll draw them elves like moths tah tha' flame. An' inna dark wit'out darksight tha drow'll 'ave yer spleen fer a snack.

What's it gonna be Domoris? Wanna spot in the hole wit' us? Be a welcome break from bein' by yerself no?

[sblock=OOC]If Domoris says no then we're set. Hudder hustles everyone up the rope like he's their crotchety old grand mother.

If not then Hudder, who slept outside last night I presume, will suggest he and Ganyon each take half a shift.

He's pretty much set on only people with darkvision standing watch, and all spell casters getting a full nights sleep. Maybe yeh can cast without a good rest in yah, but I dunna see the need tah stress yerselves yet. This adventure's just begun. Let us old 'ands take care o' it.

An objective observer might expect that after the party experiences the dwarven nobles bone shattering snores objections to Hudder taking watch will fall off in the future.[/sblock]

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Realizing that his enemy is not the dwarf, Void Comes out from between the thick flora and introduce himself to the new comers.
I'm Void, hailing from the Githzerai people.
Turning to the others he speaks.
We must talk in private, where no scrying takes place, we are in great peril.
He looks up the rope and climbs it like a monkey.

 

[Shayuri]

Dreadnought looks up at the rope, then back at the others.

"I can stay outside with Lo-Kag," he offers. "I don't need sleep. I can watch over him, and sound an alarm if there is trouble."
