The Banewarrens

"Pssst... Morden. I believe this orc is a ... she," says Krug.

"So should we explore through the hole?" Krug peers in trying to see what he can make out with his darkvision. He'll also check for traps.

Six charges of the wand (and the laying on of hands) restore Verakka and Malikar to full strength.

Krug examines the hole in the basement. His modest familiarity with stonework and his knack for searching suggest that umber hulk claws made the relatively new tunnel. It ranges from 6 to 10 feet high, and stretches west beyond darkvision and hearing. Despite the lack of braces or supports, the tunnel seems quite stable.

To Titus 'Thank you for your aid, friend Priest, I owe you my life.'
To Krug (grinning) 'You keep attracting the flies and I will keep eating them, friend.'

Verakka wonders what Gods have cursed him...since entering this Damned City, the only thing he has hit in combat was one of his allies...
 

"Well that was interesting. May I suggest we keep moving. Especialy if there are umberhulks here." Fallon walks down from the ceiling. He walks up to Verakka, "Very impressive. Keep up the good work." He says to the scaled one.

"Um.. Umber.. hulks", says Krug, gulping. "Now... all of us stay close." He had never encountered one of those before, but had heard myths about them. Bladale Stonespur had encountered one and was reduced to a babbling child.

Krug took a step into the tunnel. "Why... why can't he just turn up and said 'oh I'm sorry I lost my way exploring the tunnel you were looking for me well lets be off and here's the payment and an extra 200 gp each besides?'"
 

"Well, before we jump in there, I can help with a couple of prayers. I can help someone that doesn't wear enchanted armor and someone who doesn't already have enhanced strength." Titus suggests.

OCC: I've got a Bull's Strength and a Magical Vestment spell available - both with a duration of 5 hours.
 

Why don't we turn back? We haven't found the knight, of course. That's the purpose of our expedition. Have you forgotten?

After being fully healed, Malikar steps towards the hole and then kneels down, examining it. He then looks up towards his companions.

Do you think we should enter together, or send a scout? I have my own suspicions about this umber hulk tunnel. Umber Hulks do not, as a general rule, tunnel into houses of their own voalition. Either this particular umber hulk is a member of an organization of ill will, or it is no umber hulk at all, being merely an arcanist assuming umber hulk form.

Whatever the case may be, we have used significant resources against the orc, and we may wish to rest. However, I advise against this, time being of the essence in our quest. Also, we may wish to heal the orc, and interrogate regarding the destination of this tunnel, and any dangers we may encounter upon the way.

And yes, Titus, a spell to increase my already formidable strength would be most advantageous. Thank you for your generosity.
 


Titus will will move to Malikar and invoke a Bull's Strength on him at his request. "That should pump you up! Does anyone want the Magical Vestment enchantment? If not I will use it on myself."

OCC: +2 enchantment bonus to AC (if used for me it will only increase by AC by one).

As you can see, the umber hulk burrowed out of the house, and not into it? How did the aberration get inside to begin with? Is it a cat burglar?

Titus, after I am finished securing our prisoner, would you mind reviving the lady so we may speak with her? Malikar then checks to make sure her bindings are firm.
