The Heroes of Fannen-Dar

[Shayuri]

Mei-Ying looks at her slender, delicate-fingered hands and considers the words she'd heard. The people here were so...forward. Already calling themselves friends and companions, and they didn't even know each other. What use was a word when its meaning was so devalued?

But this was her world now, and its ways were her ways.

She followed Thomas to the trapdoor, and prepared to descend after him.

"The Tunnels Are Narrow. We Should Determine Our Formation Before Descending."

 

[Walking Dad]

"Who asks goes first. But I will be just behind you." Morgran says wit a grin.

Thomas goes through the trapdoor after Morgran. Once through he draws out his longsword and looks around for the rodents.

 

[Pyrex]

OOC: Is there light in the basement or do we need to create some?

 

[Camelot]

You descend the wooden steps, which look as though they have encountered both water and fire damage in the past. The only light comes from the cracks in the ceiling, making the room dim and hard to see in. In the middle of the room are two rows of crates and boxes stacked about five feet high. The moment MAIA steps onto the floor, a giant rat crawls out from under a crate, hissing and baring its teeth. You notice that several other rats lurk around the room.

[sblock=Initiative]To keep things moving, I rolled initiative for you. The order is: Boldo (22), Mei Ying (22), Thomas (16), Morgran (12), MAIA (10). I don't have the time tonight, but tomorrow I will make the map. When you are ready, describe your next most likely action, and I will describe the events in chronological order when I get back.[/sblock]

 

[Pyrex]

If no one has created a light source by my turn I'll activate a sunrod then move into melee.

If there is light by my turn, I'll move up and swat a rat with a Crushing Surge
Attack: (1d20+6=14)
Damage: (1d10+4=13)

 

[Bihlbo]

Boldo fires a bolt at a rat and bolts for cover.

OOC: Sly Flourish To hit and damage: 1d20+6=15, 1d6+5+3=9. If the rat hasn't acted in the first round, 2d6=7 sneak attack damage.

Morgran and Thomas are standing on the stairway. Mei Ying and Boldo are still in the broom closet. Boldo is first in initiative. Remember, you can move past your allies without penalty, but the stairs are considered difficult terrain.[/sblock]

 

[Camelot]

Upon seeing the dankness, MAIA takes out a sunrod, lights it by cracking it against his knee, and sticks it in his backpack, with the tip poking out.

Boldo's bolt batters the big mouse, and with a pitiful squeak it falls on its back, dead.

Boldo, you can move into the room to one of three spots: left of MAIA, up-left of MAIA, or above MAIA.

My view of sunrods is that they work like glowsticks; you crack them against something to light them up, and then they go out four hours later. There's no turning them off once you turn them back on. By sticking it in your backpack, you can have both hands free but still have a source of light.[/sblock]
