The Closed Eye, part II (DM: covaithe, Judge: garyh)

[Dunamin]

Woe clears up... slightly.

“Keep on the move or wait to refuel; either way works for me.”

“Though I wouldn’t call our last scuffle overwhelmingly capable survival; half the team were on the ropes. I have no illusions that we weren’t cutting it closer than a blind old barber with the shakes trying to shave a bugbear.”

Woe takes another swig of rum and taps his fingers idly against the barrel.

“Still, I don’t mind a high-end gamble. We could scout ahead, take out isolated punk sentries given the opportunity, and stakeout the more hairy opposition until the team’s regrouped. Course’, it’s likely they know we’re coming now, and we might risk getting blown up again – no accounting for the trauma of seeing that scale of booze being wasted once more.”

As the conversation turns to matters tactical, Kathalia's face regains its usual vacant expression. The most she seems able to contribute is an occasional nod and 'uh-huh.'

"Hacker is the smartest gnome I know - if he says to stay in the cave, then let it be so."

"Hey, that rhymes!" she giggles, before changing to wolf form and sniffing around.

OOC: I'm just going to break the tie here so we can keep going - pretty much on the fence so I flipped a coin.

"Hacker is the smartest gnome I know"

Atreus turns around and stops as he hears this " I wish I could say the same, but that would be a lie " he remarks coldly

" if he says to stay in the cave, then let it be so."

" Very well " he says but doesn't return to the others "I hope your infatuation with the Gnome has noting to do with your decision...but that is none of my concern. I will travel alone then. If there is something you need, this is your last chance. I shall track you down when I return " and off he goes

OOC: I am sorry to split the group but Atreus doesn't trust Hacker and after this incident with the golem he wants to take precautions in order to survive this ordeal. He runs to town and back to buy the things needed by the others and himself.

ooc: Right, then it's Atreus going back to town for some shopping, and everyone else.... doing what? Exploring? Waiting around in the cave? Waiting at last night's campsite?

Woe suggests either waiting back at the former campsite or scouting out more of the cave, potentially taking out isolated guards they may come across.[/sblock]

 

[Atriden]

Bump!

 

[nerdytenor]

OOC: Perhaps we can play dead - there's lots of body parts to hide under with that golem newly dismembered... But I'm happy to keep moving also.

"Now that the sissy boy has vamoosed, let's go kill something," says Hacker, walking down the tunnel.

Yes, yes. He's spent enough surges to get to full health...

Go ahead and spring your blasted trap and roll your stinkin' natural 20's, covaithe!

 

[covaithe]

ooc: Ok, that's enough consensus for me to move forward. Now I just have to find some time!

 

[covaithe]

ooc: Sorry for the delay, folks. I've written myself into a bit of a corner, plot-wise, and I've got some brainstorming to do on how to get out of it.
