The Forgotten Forge

[DEFCON 1]

The bright light from Gretchen's sunrod bounces off the walls of the tunnel, lightening Pohl's face just enough to cast some eerie shadows around his nose and eye sockets. Giving no indication whatsoever that he's been able to follow the shifter's tracks to this spot, he faces the goblin and returns a malicious smile back down at him.

'No... that is quite all right... you've done more than enough. I don't know WHAT we would have done without you. You can just toddle off on your way now.'

And with that he raises his hands and makes a "shoo shoo!" motion with his downturned fingers.

 

[DarkMaster]

The goblin turns around and starts running down the corridor back to where you came from.

"If that's you want, then I am out of here, good luck on your way up" He quickly dissapears in the shadow of the sunrod

 

[Delemental]

Tai will ready her spear and shield, and make sure her holy symbol is at hand. "Well, shall we?"

She will wait for someone else to take the lead, and the follow cautiously, keeping her eye out for trouble.

 

[Guest 11456]

Grechen : Female Shifter Rogue 1

"I will lead. That way I can search for anything that might SPRING out at us."

Grechen gestures by exploding her fingers outward from a fist while thrusting her hand up to emphasize her words. She puts the torch into her right hand and starts searching. She begins moving forward slowly while searching for traps as she goes.

 

[DEFCON 1]

'Straight 100 feet... down a flight of stairs... cluster right in front. Who has Geldem's journal? We need to compare the symbol on it to the seal that is holding the passage shut, according to the Lady of the House. Lead on Gretchen...'

Pohl will follow the shifter as she advances down the tunnel then down the stairs... keeping half an eye on the tracks left by the other shifter... more for his own amusement now than for any usefulness.

Zanick 'Zane' Marcela, human wizard

Zane will smile to Tai "Well do you wish to take last place or third my'lady?" and will go with the other position (3rd or lass). No matter which he sets Nicadema, his Raven to watch their backs...

 

[DarkMaster]

Gretchen reaches the stairs without finding anything (roll search 2 +5). The narrow passage leads to a staircase that descends deeper into the tower. With each step down, the odor of mold and sewage becomes stronger, and you can hear liquid sounds increasing in volumes as you descend. The stairs becomes very narrow and the group his forced to march in a single file. The stairs turns right and then continue lowers. Gretchen can see what seems to be water 5 foot in front of her down the stairs. (search 4+5) She doesn't find anything in front of her.

Pohl can still see the track in the dust.

Zane and his familiar don't detect anything behind the group (roll spot 8+2)

 

[DarkMaster]

One other thing Gretchen notices a grate in the water blocking the right access to the sewer.

 

[Delemental]

Tai will take he last position, in order to keep the other three in sight, and also to act as a buffer between the recently-injured mage and anything that might jump them from behind.

 

[DEFCON 1]

The light from the sunrod plays off the walls at the base of the stairs, and Pohl glances around and notices the grating blocking the right side of the sewer. The aroma throughout this whole area turns his stomach just a bit but he tries to ignore it as best he can.

'Well folks... our path to the right is cut off. What say we try the left? No reason to try and force our way through a passage when there's a perfectable acceptable and accessable alternative, wouldn't you say?'

Pohl will glance down the left side of the passage, and if the sewer is tubular, will use the bottom arcs of the walls to determine how deep the water seems to be. If it's only up to his knees, he'll step forward into the sludge, then turn left and start moving slowly down the sewer passage.
