Shackled City - Chapter II

[Majin]

OoC: So guys, anyone want to take a stab at which direction the party will go or are we still waiting on a response from Verbatim?

~

The two half-elves smile nervously at Althron, and share looks between themselves as well that could express the notion that perhaps coming down here was not such a wise move.

 

[Verbatim]

ooc: Sorry all...got caught up in the New Year's rush and am trying to settle back down again...

IC:

Zeric kept his tongue still as he reached out and shook the half-elf's hand, keeping his grip in check as well. As he released the dandy's hand, he heard the elvish woman speak and watched as she drew steel and offered it to him.

"I appreciate the thought, but keep your steel close to you. You are liable to need it more than I in these close quarters."

Turning to face Raven, Zeric pointed to the tracks on the ground.

"Which sets look fresher to you?"

 

[Manzanita]

Raven

OOC: I'd thought Raven had headed for the next J door, but now I'm a bit confused. Is Dhes' map updated? We went through the J door in the SW didn't we? If so, How about the J door just after we came in?

 

[hippocrachus]

OOC: I admit, I also thought we went back to the first J door. Majin cleared that up though... We might as well just follow the tracks since we're here.

 

[kirinke]

ooc:
one way looks as best as any, at least until we get our hands on a skulk and persuade him that it's in his best interest to cooperate with us.

 

[Majin]

OoC: Yes you guys went to the other 'J' room door. It was the one with all the chests with basically nothing in them. The map is not up to date tho. I will harrass Dhes to do that today when I talk to him. Currently the party is in the eastern set of tunnels by the room east of the 'J' room in question.

 

[Manzanita]

Raven

Raven will search for tracks as well (search +5). If they find some, and can follow them, she will want to do that. Otherwise...

"Perhaps we could head West. There seem to be many doors that way. Perhaps some of them will open with this key. I agree that the skulks are probably behind this, and we want to find them."

 

[hippocrachus]

Considering the whole matter resolved, Orpheus waits for Raven's take on the tracks.

 

[kirinke]

Alinis nodded in agreement. "I doubt that the skulks are directly behind the kidnappings. They do not seem brave enough to have done this on their own. But that means they will at least have some valuable information on who hired or threatened them into committing the crimes,"

 

[hippocrachus]

"Don't underestimate these things, we don't know anything about them. Cowards are always more dangerous than the brave," Orpheus looks up and says conversationally.
