The Four Lands - The Great North

[Scotley]

Bertrand

His tools quickly stowed and his glowing flail held high, the would be burgler transforms into a warrior once more. "Shall we continue forward gentlemen?"

 

[Rhun]

Vadric hoists shield and sword, and gives a nod to his companions. The knight rushes forward into the chamber before him, shouldering the door open, Warsong's silvery-gold flames lighting his way...

 

[Dracomeander]

Finnian stays alert for trouble as he moves to cover the party's back. He strains his senses outward to try to determine if the noise the group has made has alerted any possible threats.

Sailing North - The Storm

For Vadric, Bertrand, Finnian and Anniston
[sblock]Vadric rushes in followed by the rest of the party. Once in the forward hold the party discovers three large crated perhaps 3 feet wide by 7 feet long by 4 feet high. The crates are heavily chained to the deck. Nearby dead rats can be seen about the room.[/sblock]

For Jaroth
[sblock]Petition the spirts of sky and air for their assistance seems to have given Jaroth a little better control of the storm brewing before him.[/sblock]

For Finnian
[sblock]Finnian is more distrubed by the total lack of noise than any noise itself[/sblock]

Bertrand

Bertrand moves about the room where he can see behind the crates. Do the chains seem designed to keep something inside the crates or prevent them from being opened from the outside? Speaking to the others he asks, "could this be what has our Captain so nervous?"

 

[Rhun]

Vadric grimaces as he looks over the chained crates. "Is it just me, or do those crates remind anyone else of coffins?"

 

[Rath Lorien]

"Coffins or not, we must determine what is in these crates." Anniston begins looking for a way to open one of the crates.

"We must be on the look-out. It is possible that whoever owns these crates may have been magically alerted when we broke the locks and entered this room."

 

[Dracomeander]

"Uh, guys. Something is really not right here. When we were trying to figure out how to get through the gate, I could hear rats scurrying and scratching around down here. Even if we disturbed some of them into silence breaking the gate, there should still be some in the far corners that I would be able to hear. But all I'm hearing is total silence.
"Bertrand, how recently do those rats look like they died?"

 

[Rhun]

Vadric casts a look at Anniston. "What do your sense tell you about these crates, my friend? Are these the source of the evil you sensed?"

 

[Rath Lorien]

Anniston cautiously and carefully extends his senses to see if evil emmanates from the crates.
