"Blimey, as if wasps weren't bad enough." laughs Mr Bricks as he stretches out the knots in his muscles and ties up the cut in his leg. "But you're right, Miranna. We're no longer a surprise."

[sblock=Actions]Spend healing surge for 6 points (it's not worth spending another for 1 point.)[/sblock]
While resting, Mr Bricks investigates the fire pot to see if he can make use of it.

"I've just 'ad a thought, are we sharing the cash evenly or are we just dumping it in one person's pocket and splitting our 'earnings' at the end?"

[sblock=Takings]I've just added the spare dagger, sling bullets, fire pot and wasp bottle to my character sheet - I'm open to ideas about the cash.[/sblock]

 

[Rapida]

"It doesn't matter to me whether we split now or not and I'm sure we can trust our scout to hold it if it comes to that."


[sblock=Healing]If the local cleric would use healing words between combats rather than us just spending a surge we would probably be better off. Either way I spend a healing surge to heal.

[sblock=Mr. Bricks]From what you could see during the fight, the firepots simply ignited on impact. While the impact itself was relatively painless, the burning pitch could become quite painful.[/sblock]
[sblock=Healing] My understanding was Shayla already suggested a few 5 minutes stops to use her healing words. so assuming you did that everyone is at full with one healing surge by my count[/sblock]

 

[Rathan]

[sblock=OOCdid I actually loose HP... do my normal HP get effected when temp HP's go away like a barbarians rage does in 3.5?..... or is my character fully healed and just expended his temp hp when wounded last?[/sblock]

"I'm happy to hold the dough, 37 silver right? Just don't let me forget it." Mr Bricks says with a wink.

[sblock=ooc] Original post edited to include notable loot list. I'll let you guys RP a lil and post the next part before bed tonight[/sblock]

Cheysuli Sage

Chey hefts her backpack and looks around at the group. "I agree with Miranna, we should definately get moving; we do not want to get caught by another ambush in the dark! By the way, does anybody have any clues as to who or what this Shadraxil is? The more prepared we are the better."

"I'm happy to hold the dough, 37 silver right? Just don't let me forget it."

"I have no qualms with you holding my money, just be mindful that you do not spend it for me!" Chey winks at Mr. Bricks.

 

[ukingsken]

Following Miranna and Cheysuli's advice, everyone takes a short break allowing Shayla to work the blessings of her god upon them. Rested and as hale as possible the group sets out again toward Maoleth.

The walk is uneventful and you all have time to ponder the days events. Who or what is Shadraxil, who are the shadowed oness, and why wee kobolds, normally content to harass only those who came near there homes venturing forth and attacking armed patrols.

Your thoughts are brought up short as just after sunset you approach the walled compound surounding Maoleth. Several small farm houses dot the surrounding hill, but they appear dark and uninhabited.

In the name of the Platinum Shogun, state your name and business! Comes the cry from atop the wall, a deep resonating baritone voice lending weight to the command.

 

[rumleech]

[SBLOCK=OOC]Who's the diplomat amongst us - not Mr. Bricks, he's better at lying than being convincing with the truth. As it is, whoever answers Mr Bricks is watching the wall to see if he can see who spoke and if he does to note their reaction to anything we might say.

Perception +1 bonus from Shayla (1d20+8=15)

Insight roll (1d20 + 6=8) (darn!)
