The Banewarrens

[Hammerhead]

Well, that settles it. Let's go. No sense to hide, either. Umber Hulk sense vibrations. Malikar leaves the captive orc in her place, content that his companion Fallon doesn't reek of evil. He then jogs forward into the tunnel, motioning for his companions to follow.

 

[Uriel]

Verakka looks the tunnel briefy, then he follows Malikar. The tunnel needed to be checked, no matter what the orc said about her companions leaving. Swords at the ready,the lizardman prepared to rectify his earlier inability in battle.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

After about six hundred feet, the passage splits to the north and the west. The tunnel to the north look quite freshly dug, and turns a corner after about travelling thirty feet north. No sound can be heard from either direction.

Direction, please. We need to establish a marching order as well.

 

[Uriel]

Verakka moves cautiously forward along the North Passage, sticking to the walls, swords out.

OoC:Move Silently, Hide, Spot, Listen as appropriate.

 

[Krug]

Verakka and Malikar first, Krug at the back with Titus,
and Fallon and Morden?

Krug looks up at his companion.
"A lizard in the party, and someone who walks like one. We should just set up a circus," says the dwarf under his breath.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Fallon has his Slippers of Spider climb going and takes to the ceiling. "You know Malikar. I would not have done that to the Orc." Fallon looks at Malikar wondering what would possess him to think otherwise.

[OOC: The reason Fallon walks on the cielings is so he can have a different view of the terrain. Like he would see a lurker above before anyone else because he is eye to eye with it.]

 

[Hammerhead]

Malikar turns toward Fallon, a look of confusion on his face. What do you mean? You should be ashamed of YOUR actions, threatening to torture someone for information. Appealing to reason and one's better side is a superior way than brute threats one would expect from a common thug.

Malikar then follows Verakka, swords drawn.

 

[Hammerhead]

I acknowledge that not everyone can live by my code, says Malikar, calming down. I shouldn't hold you to my standards. I'm sorry. It's just I really don't know, and...

Malikar turns again, curses the darkness and the foolishness of his companions, believing that their stealth skills will beat an Umber Hulk's tremorsense, and holds an unlit sunrod in his hand, sheathing his sword.

 

[Keia]

"But sometimes, Malikar, the people being questioned don't understand the 'superior' way and other options nee to be presented to get the point across," Titus explains, "Those actions wouldn't be carried out . . . it's called a bluff. Trust in your companions - they will do the right thing. They have in the past."

"Thank you for the sunrod light, Malikar." Titus says.

Titus will wait until Fallon and Morden proceed then head down with Krug.

 

[Hammerhead]

OOC: The sunrod is not lit. See text. I want to be able to light it in an emergency. However, I don't wish to ruin Verakka's attempts at stealth, futile though they may be.
