THE DUNGEON: (1) Out of Whistle

[GoldenEagle]

Taklinn looks at the box that is being handed to the group then looks to Takote. "I...uhhh....think he should take it".

Taklinn will lead the group to the portal. Is there any recent activity on the path (tracking)?

Taklinn surveys the Road to the Labyrinth Portal. There seems to be little traffic there, as oppossed to the roads leading elsewhere within this Realm and to the Portal to the othe r2 connecting Realms. There is a spot near a small creek that looks as if Travellers/campers have used it often. A small pile of dry firewood sits near a burned out firepit (the ashes are cold). Several trees line the area, the plums look fairly ripe, as if nobody had camped here in a few weeks at least (you can harvest 6 meals worth of Plums, about 2 dozen fruits, although you may want to leave some for other travellers?

The Portal is a few hours walk from the campsite, once Day breaks.

If you want to camp here, let me know a Guard order, the night is about 7 hours long at this point in the Year.

OoC:Chauzu, are you going to DunDraCon? It's in San Ramon next weekend, I'm taking the weekend off from work to go, along with my RL gaming buddies (we don
t play much, thus I play on here now instead). It would be cool to meet /play a game with you.

Aska looks around. "Well, if we're camping here, I want first watch. I can't stand broken sleep." She then goes and picks some plums off the trees, and starts eating. "Ahh. Real food. I haven't had this sort of stuff since I left Toril."

 

[Chauzu]

"Camping here tonight is fine by me," states Takote, picking a plum. "I will take second watch. I will just take a slight rest until it is my turn."

Taklinn looks at the box that is being handed to the group then looks to Takote. "I...uhhh....think he should take it".

Takote agrees on taking it.

OoC:Chauzu, are you going to DunDraCon? It's in San Ramon next weekend, I'm taking the weekend off from work to go, along with my RL gaming buddies (we don

OOC: I'm not sure if I will be going or not. I have an essay to work on and track practice. Which day is it on again? Saturday?

 

[Uriel]

The plums are perhaps the most delicious thing that you have eaten since coming to this Gods-Forsaken Dungeon...

OoC:The Con is Friday through Monday, I'll be there Sat,Sun and maybe early Monday.
I'm easy to spot, not many guys with long blue hair in all black at game cons...scratch that, not too many guys with Well-Done blue hair...and about 200 pounds of miniatures and D20 books.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Kaz will spend some of his awake time searching the area for lost or dropped things. I'll take last watch. I can't study my spells if my sleep is broken.
He wanders over to Takote and asks, So when are we going to open it? The box is calling out to me. I want to know what's in it.

 

[Uriel]

The Box seems to have no visible openings, having a uniformly smooth sueface all around.The Edges are raised, being some reinforced metal (Taklinn thinks it made of some high grade Steel, or perhaps an alloy containing mostly steel).

The capmsite grows more chill as evening grows on.
A brisk wind from the South cuts through the camp, causing the leaves of the plum trees to rustle violently.

It is late in the Night, near 3am, and Taklinn is on Watch.
The Dwarf peers into the Gloomy night, something is out there...
A Pair of Baleful yellow Eyes appears, mesmerizing in their intensity. Taklinn feels the effects of some Magic hit him, though his innate Dwarvish Resistance fights it off. The others sleep yet.

OoC:GE, you have a partial action, the Thing is aprox 30 feet away, the eyes are about 8 feet up. Your Darkvision shows a long sinewy form, Dragonlike, though something is wrong...there are Wings, a horned head...but a few too many Legs.

Action?

 

[GoldenEagle]

"Wake UP..We're bein' attakked!" the dwarf rages as he draws his shield closer and begins the dance of death with this creature.

Taklinn moves into to melee with the creature, attacking once if possible.

 

[Sixchan]

Aska tosses a little at the noise "Uhh...huh?" then she opens her eyes "Uh. Oh. Shards." She gets up as quickly as she can, and seeing as she's not in armour, casts Inflict Serious Wounds (OOC: which I don't think I've used yet, right?)

 

[Chauzu]

Waking up to see the dwarf combating a shadowy creature, Takote quickly draws his weapon and moves up next to Taklinn to fight.
