Sinister Spire(con't RBD)(Orsal Judging)

BigB · Jan 9, 2008

Phoenix begins her swim across to dry land, the force of the water in this area has made impossible to walk and difficult to swim and she quickly goes under.

Rowan ties the rope to himself and to the raft.

Phoenix reemerges above the water and makes it across to the other side as she pulls herself onto dry land Rowan begins his swim. As he does so the raft begins slowly drifting back down the tunnel toward the well and Rowan quickly is submerged under water and fights to regain the surface, for 2 rounds he makes no progress but does resurface and begin swimming to the other side making it in 2 rounds coughing up water as he climbs to dry land suddenly he feels a tug on the rope as the raft has reached the length of the rope in its drifting with the slower current.

Rowan tries to pull the raft over to where he & Phoenix stand.

Phoenix8008 · Jan 9, 2008

Without a word, Phoenix gives Rowan a hand pulling in the rope to get Lookspring to the shore. When the raft is near, she kneels down at the edge in front of Rowan to reach out and try to help Lookspring up onto shore safely. After he's safely grounded, she'll quickly start pulling armor out of her Bag of Holding and getting her own put on.

Rowan and Phoenix pull on the rope and the raft rides the water back to the faster current and is suddenly pulled downstream with the current taking Lookspring on a wild ride over the rough water. With concentration born of and the look of someone facing their worst nightmare Lookspring clings to the raft for his life not relenting his grip until Rowan and Phoenix pull him onto land.

As Phoenix retrieves her bag she finds the snake coiled among the wood making up the raft.

Lookspring identifies the footprints as medium humanoid and discovers there are at least 4 sets only one being wet.

Rowan smiles at Lookspring and gives him a gentle slap on the back. "That water won't hurt you. It's the living dead you need to be worrying about!"
With that, Rowan plants the sunrod in the wet ground and begins putting on his armor. Once he's all geared up, he's ready to continue following the footprints.

"Wherever they're going, is probably where we want to go as well."

Rowan will help Lookspring track.

OOC: So the tunnel to the north is the dead end where the guard badger was chained to the wall, and the tunnel south is where the cleric had a room right by the deep tunnel we didn't go down? And the wet footprints from here are leading down the tunnel to the south, right?

After helping Lookspring ashore, Phoenix makes sure to help pull the raft out of the water and rest it against the side wall so they can use it later. Once her armor is back on, she ignites her mindblade so she won't have to waste time doing it later. After Lookspring and Rowan finish checking the tracks and they're ready to go, she takes the lead heading down the tunnel following the footprints. With a whisper she says, "Remember to keep your ears open. If there are more of those invisible dwarves we don't wanna be ambushed again, so stay together too."

Lookspring with Rowans help believe the tracks to be human wearing light footwear, much as a sailor would wear.

Correct

Staring down at the footprints, Looksprings eyebrows crease in concern. He checks the tracks again as if not understanding what he is seeing. Tracing the edge with one nail he mutters aloud, "Humans... I thought we were after dwarves and snake men..." He straightens up and turns to face the other two. "On our way home the last time, those sailors that were attacking us, they spoke like crazy men and said we were doomed if we returned. Do you think they are helping the snake men?" Turning back to the darkened tunnels he fingers his bow string. "Either way it won't matter, maybe I'll run into that thieving sailor again" He gets ready to lead the way down the tunnels, hiding and sneaking in hopes of getting the jump on whatever is ahead of them.

Lookspring will go out in front to spot and listen for any enemies up ahead if you would like. If you go for it he'll probably go about 30' out in front and hide and sneak ahead of the group.

If not, then he'll stay in the back and watch the rear.
Spot and Listen are +8
Hide is 13, Move silently is 12
