Kyalia

Kyalia nods and enters the mine.

 

[Evil Ujio]

The entrance to the mines is a gaping maw into the deeper earth.

Beyond the makeshift encampment are three abandoned structures sitting next to the entrance of the mines. An old mine cart lays on it side in the entry way, and the place looks to have been abandoned for some time, with trash, and broken debris littering the area.

The sky crackles for a moment with light and six seconds later a thundering boom lets out as the sky begins to pour rain down on the party. Jim makes a rude gesture to the sky with a laugh and he and his cronies take cover in one of the larger structures.

There are a total of four structures out in front of the entrance, Jim and his three friends went in the closest one which also happens to be the largest.

Kyalia

Kyalia turns to Laurel. “Can you make out any tracks inside the entrance?”

 

[Endur]

Laurel looks for tracks in spots where the rain isn't hitting.

 

[Ranger Rick]

OOC: I assume I am closest to the structure that Jim et al. run to?

I also run to the door, slowing enough to let them enter 1st, I stand in the doorway, look (spot +5) than back out of the door to view my comrades.

 

[Voadam]

Enthalus will move into the mine entrance but not deeply in so as not to interfere with the tracker.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Saxon follows the others into the cover of the mine, mentally checking the spells he had prepared in anticipation of coming difficulties. He gets Mzarem to work in helping Laurel pin down some tracks, and stands back as much to help himself think as to give the trackers space to work.

Mzarem aids another. Survival +1 (+5 when using scent)

Laurel gets a total of 18 for her Survival check, including +2 from a successful aid another from Mzarem, she finds tracks for 10 humanoids leading into the mines.

One of Jim’s men looks at Dolan with a scowl, “Hey fairy, either get in or get out stop following us around, if you is too scared to go inside then say so, if not get the hell away from me. You is giving me the creeps,” the rest of the thugs laugh uneasily but give Dolan a hard stare through their laughter.

Jim speaks, “Go easy on the fairy; he is just scared of the rain.”

The rest of the party gathers at the entrance, which leads to an uneven corridor that travels some sixty or so feet into the earth at a slight slope. Water from the rain streams down deeper into the darkness and a flash of lightning illuminates the makeshift tracks for mine carts inside the mines.

A loud screeching bellow sounds from somewhere deeper in the mines; akin to a beast but also having a distinctly metallic sound to it. It dies down quickly and is replaced by the pitter patter of rain.

 

[Ranger Rick]

"Boo"

Dolan leaves to join the others.

 

[Voadam]

A loud screeching bellow sounds from somewhere deeper in the mines; akin to a beast but also having a distinctly metallic sound to it. It dies down quickly and is replaced by the pitter patter of rain.

"I think that was a mining cart engaging on its tracks. I will summon some light for us so we can proceed into the dark." Enthalus uses his mastery of true speech to magically cause his armor to glow and illuminate their path.
