The Drow War Book One - Chillhame

[Evil Ujio]

If the cobwebs are only on one trail then we would take the other as people traversing the area would brush away or disturb the cobwebs.

The cobwebs over head are down both trails but the thickest concentration of cobwebs is round the lever mechanism that seems to control the points on the rails. There is little else here but the scant spider in the webs overhead.

Saxon's brow furrows, and he looks around concernedly. Not finding anything he looks to the others.

"Is anyone here familiar with the concept of 'scrying'? Because it feels as though we are being watched," he says, wracking his brain for what little he knows.

Mzarem pads about sniffing daintily at cobwebs, and plucking his nose away at any signs of movement.

Laurel replies, "This is a creepy place. Probably one of the spiders is watching you, hoping that you won't break its web."

 

[Voadam]

"It doesn't look like anything changed the switch here and I believe someone sent a cart down the track, the noise we heard earlier. There is that mining cart back at the entrance if we need speed to catch up to the one that went down first."

 

[Ranger Rick]

Dolan studders, "YOU mean get in a cart and fly down the mine willy nilly?"

 

[Endur]

Laurel replies, "I'm fine with riding in a mining cart, so long as its not slimy or rusty or covered in webs."

 

[Voadam]

Dolan studders, "YOU mean get in a cart and fly down the mine willy nilly?"

"Well it only goes one way since it is on a track." Enthalus smiles "Pros: it would allow us to catch up to the other mining cart whereas it could take a long time to do so on foot. Cons: We could come crashing into the whole tribe of hobgoblins and the mining cart could have been used for a purpose other than transporting the kids, meaning we might shoot past where they are actually being held. Although it looks to me like the kids were being held in the cell and the hobgoblins pulled them out when it started to flood, probably taking them down in the cart. It's a gamble either way, but my gut is for gambling on the cart. And if we crash into a bunch of hobgoblins I am sure they will not be expecting a bunch of elves, so if we are quick we can capitalize on their surprise."

"How many of use would fit within the cart?" Saxon asks, resting a hand on Mzarem's head.

 

[Evil Ujio]

"How many of use would fit within the cart?" Saxon asks, resting a hand on Mzarem's head.

From what you all saw of the cart it could fit 4 comfortably, up to 6 or 7 very cramped like... you will be standing though.

 

[Ranger Rick]

Looking at the cart than turning and looking into the darkness, than looking back at the cart, etc......"I would rather walk myself."
