The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VI

[Verbatim]

Ayden smiled as he pulled the thin chain shirt away from his body as he faced the elvish archer.

"I hardly consider this bulky, but I do appreciate your worry. While I know that I do not possess the same skills of Master Dunstand, I do think I can manage well enough with the savages that dwell down here."

Turning as Teleri spoke to him, Ayden nodded simply at her words.

"While I do wish my words assured you more than they appear to Priestess Teleri, I hope that when the time comes, you will see that the doubt was misplaced."

As he prepared to turn around, Ayden was surprised to hear the Morninglord's priest speak in his defense.

"Thank you Master Sarlis, and may the Morninglord continue to grant you the wisdom to seperate the light from the shadows."

Teleri shrugged. "I hope you are right Ayden. But forgive me for being prepared for the worst,"

 

[Verbatim]

Ayden smiled at the priestess and nodded his head in understanding and acceptance.

"With all that we have been through, I could expect no less."

 

[Majin]

Moving south through the storage room you pass through a short portion of the cave that is strewn with matted strips of stained and filthy mushrooms and rags, possibly bedding for a large number of creatures. Leaving that, you enter in a much larger chamber.

The eastern wall is worked smooth and decorated with a cracked and crumbed relief image. The image depicts a river running through a desolate land filled with emaciated humanoids with heads bent back screaming or buried in their skeletal hands. A huge stone doorway is set in the center of the wall. The massive stone door hangs ajar, and a sickly gray light pulsates faintly within the room beyond.

Guarding the door here are 6 grimlocks. Each of them wears scale mail and carries a steel shield, along with their customary battleaxe. Not sparing a moment, they rush to attack.

Initiative:

Teleri - 20
Grimlock Temple Guards (6) - 18
Calenthang - 17
Ayden - 16
Sielwoodan - 15
Sarlis - 14
Drogo - 11
Broddy - 11
Dunstand - 10

As the grimlocks charge towards him, Ayden brings his hammer to the ready, dropping the sunrod to the ground at his feet to give the others the best light he can.

"You have chosen the path of darkness and you shall pay for your sins. Prepare to reap what you have sown..."

 

[DarkMaster]

"Damn creature, they attack on sight, leaving no time for negociation. If death is what they choose, death they'll get. But there still might be a way to prevent another bloodfest."

"Prepare to face Kelemvor, he probably won't be forgivefull as I am. If you Drop your weapon NOW, none of us will have to go through this painfull process, at least for today." he says with a strong and sure voice.

Rush Diplomacy +7 (+17-10).

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo

"Six grimlocks; no problem." thinks Drogo. He telepaths Rex to advance and protect Calenthang's flank. If Drogo can get off a clear sling shot, he will. Otherwise, he'll slip his sling into his belt, prepare his sheild and spear, and move to attack, attempting to defend anyone in trouble or being flanked.

 

[kirinke]

"SCREW DIPLOMANCY!" Teleri shouts and adding injury to insult, let's fly with an arrow at the nearest ugly grimlock. And as per her usual tactics, she'll switch to swordwork once she can't fire anymore arrows.

"There is no way anything that produces that kind of light can be good!" Teleri shouts to the others.

ooc:
Teleri got a 20 on Init? Woah. RUN! I tell you. RUN!

 

[Velmont]

Sielwoodan just pull the string of his bow to let fly his arrow straight at one grimlock, he quickly take another and try to plant another in him.

OOC: I'll move back if I am in contact with one before starting to shoot.

 

[Mimic]

Broddy will pull out his crossbow and take a shot at one of the grimlocks.
