The Emperor of Solmaria

[Thanee]

“I hope we can get out of here without getting back into that mess,” Lenya says, while her face becomes more concentrated and shortly thereafter she starts an incantation and casts a spell (Prestidigitation, once again), using its power to clean herself and the others... again.

OOC: Since the rope was never really secured to anything I'm assuming however came last brought it with them so Shadowleaf could retrieve it?

 

[hippocrachus]

(OOC: heh, yeah you can have it back )

 

[Mithreander]

Past the orcs, the passage continues for a good distance, then opens into a wide natural cavern with a pool in it. Midnight takes off to find a ledge to perch on in since there are plenty of places to do so.

The ceiling appears to be rather high... at least 20' high. the chamber itself is circular, except for one side which appears to have been dug out.

In the middle of the large cavern is a spring of hot water (at least you assume it's hot, do to the steam imulating from it) with at least a half dozen people in it, orcs, humans, halflings and a single gnome.

Out of the pool, there are groups of people and kids. Some groups are mainly orc-kin, but one group is mainly human. thereare about 30 in all.

From one of the orc-kin groups, an orc comes over to the group with a smile on his face. "Kin*cough**cough*in! Welcome to da 'ole!"

Everyone here appears to be using the pool as a bath, on closer inspection, the spring itself is to one side, which is reserved for drinking. Must be a fresh water spring.

 

[Thanee]

Seeing the fresh water spring, Lenya doesn't hesitate, after ridding herself and her companions from the worst, to get some mundane cleaning as well.

 

[deadestdai]

Dylan was also quite relieved to see the hot spring, then scampered over to the pool and started to disrobe, in readiness of finally getting clean again!

 

[silentspace]

OOC: No elves, eh?

From one of the orc-kin groups, an orc comes over to the group with a smile on his face. "Kin*cough**cough*in! Welcome to da 'ole!"

Kinden grins widely, clears his throat, and extends his hand out. "It's Kinden, and thanks."

 

[hippocrachus]

Xanthas strolls away from the rest of the party, to an area not highly used, and takes off his "rustables." He enters the hot water, keeping an eye on his belongings, and scrubs himself of the sewer filth, looking forlornly at his new boots. Satisfied with his odor, he leaves the pool, collects his things, and walks around in search of anyone with information about a weapon supplier. Without his sword he feels naked; the mace might do the trick for some, but not for him.

 

[Thanee]

“So, are we actually on the right track, or are we completely wrong?”

Lenya spends a large amount of time to clean herself very thoroughly, trying to wash away the past hours of humiliation.

 

[Lichtenhart]

Darhaan follows greets the orc-kin with a thankful gesture of his head, but says nothing, then follows the others to the pool, eyeing the water with some disappointment.
"I think we are on the right track now, and at least now we have someone to ask directions to. Err... Miss Lenya, can I ask you a favor? Could you please use the magic you used before to clean me up a bit? I really don't enjoy getting wet. In return I'll hold up my cloak as you wash yourself, so you can have a little... privacy."
Then he notices Xanthas's wound: "Let me have a look at it when you're done washing Xanthas. Sewage and wounds make a very bad coupling."
