Shackled City - Chapter II

[hippocrachus]

"As if they didn't already," Orpheus retorts, giving the scribe a protective pat on the shoulder. He follows after Raven and Althron, absent-mindedly cleaning his teeth with his tongue.

Alinis makes a face at Orpheous. "True." she finally conceeds and follows them, keeping a firm grip on her bow.

 

[Majin]

OoC: Will assume you guys check out the other direction of the tunnel to get things moving again.

Half-made kegs, tables, bookshelves, and chests clutter this dark, 10-foot-high room. Most of these unfinished works have been pushed against the outer walls, making room for four cots in the middle of the floor. Two workbenches covered with carpenter's tools flank the north exit. A few rat bones litter the floor.

Laying prone on one of the cots, apparently sleeping, is a small, humanoid figure that fits the description given to you earlier of the other creature to accompany the skulks with their kidnappings in the world above.

 

[Mimic]

Upon spotting the sleeping figure Althorn abruptly stops walking, stealth was definately wasn't his forte and he didn't want to wake the sleeping creature, if it was even really asleep. Gesturing to Raven to circle around it to cut off its escape route Althron will wait until she is in place before advancing again.

 

[Manzanita]

Raven

Raven will circle silently, trying to cut off any escape, then wait with her morningstar poised, waiting for the others to enter.

ooc:
humanoid figure? what species is it? Been so long....
Oh, the rouge's gallery thread seems to have been lifted by a kender.

IC:
Face grim, Alinis creeps up on the sleeping critter, intending to capture it alive. (Move Silently +7, Raven should be able to help too as she's a rogue.)

 

[Majin]

OoC: Rogue's Gallery thread looks fine here. Perhaps you should check all of your subscribed threads. It's in there.....

 

[kirinke]

OOC
Will do. Gotta expect a few bugs here and there no?
*Gets out her can of virtual raid and goes hunt'n

 

[hippocrachus]

OOC: Blarg. I have to search the messageboards for our threads, my user control panel won't load...

Orpheus watches the women slink-about and draws his bow, preparing a shot if things get uncivilized.

 

[Majin]

Alinis manages to get to the creature and jerk it awake as she grabs it from behind and holds it steady. Startled, the small figure thrases about suddenly as it looks wildly around trying to catch its bearings.

Seeing the creatures face and full profile now, Elyas easily identifies it from his readings and the description Keygan gave earlier as being what is called a 'Dark Creeper', the other species known to be working with the skulks in their kidnapping raids.
