The Forge of Fury

[HolyMan]

The group sets out for Stonetooth again in the morning. They are joined by the dwarf Hinderpick as he was heading in the same direction anyway for reasons of his own.

They reach the first level of the old dwarven hall and give it a quick re-search looking for orcs. But none have returned possibly due to the death of their leader Ulfe the Ogre.

Readying themselves in the room with the stairs they start down the narrow flights ready for whatever this dungeon can throw at the...

The narrow crevasse winds down quite a long ways, twisting and turning. The floor has been cut into hundreds of shallow steps, but the walls and ceiling are still natural rock. About 60 feet down a rushing stream spills down from a narrow crack to your left and crosses the stairway, disappearing into a narrow, winding tunnel to your right. The rill is only about 2 or 3 feet wide.

Continuing passed the small wet stones the group continues down following Auris's floating electric motes.

The descending fissure opens up aburtly into a very high cavern, with a ceiling easily 40 feet or more overhead. The stairway continues to wind down, descending a ledge along the north wall of the chamber. A fast-moving stream about 5 feet wide runs across the floor of the chamber and disappears under a low stone overhang to the south, while larger passageways exit to the southeast and northeast.

? = are your hp correct in the RG says +4 feat but no 5th lvl feat listed - if the feat in question is Toughness then it should be +5 hp, and your Fav class bonus says +4 but don't see where you used your 5th lvl fav bonus.

??= not sure what your character carries as you move through the dungeon but will update when you let me know- thanks.

[sblock=Perception DC23] Looking about the cavern then to the ceiling you notice tiny winged creatures lik the ones you fought before resting on the ceiling. They in turn have seen your light and are stretching their wings ready to take flight... [/sblock]

[IronWolf]

Sabern steps carefully over the wet stones as he works his way down through the narrow crevasse. He keeps his crossbow ready, his shield slung across his back and his mace hanging heavy from the loop on his belt. The cool, damp air almost feels refreshing as he descends.

Sabern's eyes scans the reaches of the cavern as the group moves slowly down into it. Hearing a very slight rustle his above he glances up, his eyes peering about the cavern's ceiling and spots the familiar winged creatures the group had encountered several days ago.

With a distinct click of his tongue Sabern alerts the others and motions with the end of his crossbow towards the ceiling as he then takes aim. Exhaling as he squeezes the crossbow lever he lets a bolt fly through the air up towards one of the winged creatures striking it solidly in its body mass.


[sblock=OOC]

I think I covered everything properly... Since at least three of us have been adventuring for awhile I assume the tongue click Sabern makes is enough to alert them that something is up.

[Maidhc O Casain]

Gerlari half draws his bow and puts the arrow in the general direction of Sabern's warning, but even his superior night vision is unable to perceive the threat . . .

 

[HolyMan]

OOC: Just make a Perception check WD and see if you can.

 

[Walking Dad]

OOC: Nat 20? No. Will take total defense if he sees nothing.

 

[Bihlbo]

Hinderpick, armed with his rune-etched battleaxe, cautiously steps down the wet path and spies movement in the black corners of the cave. About to shout, Hinderpick checks himself when he hears Sabern’s warning click, then moves forward and readies a deadly strike against the unknown creatures.

[HolyMan]

Crossbows at the ready Sabern and Backle quickly take out two of the creatures. The other two fly around the ceiling before swooping down and towards the group.

[sblock=OOC] Nice shooting, btw. And that was a surprise round so you could only do one action figured the shot would be it. TOP of round 1 Gerlari and Backle are at the top of init. This might be a short fight LOL.

Know arcana to identify as these are magical beast. [/sblock]
