'The Perilous (Chapter I, II, III, IV)

[UniversalMonster]

Delmar casts guidance on Belok's Masterwork lockpicks, and then follows it up by a dispel magic targetted at the trap on the door. A silvery sheen of white light plays over the door briefly and then flickers. Delmar thinks it probably worked.

Belok goes to work feeling for the tumblers inside the lock after first trepidatiously touching the door. The spell seems to be supressed, since there is no shock.

After about a round of fiddling with a pick and a strangely curved wire, Belok hears the faint click of tumblers sliding into place.

The door swings open. The wooden mannequin perks right up and goes to hold the door for you. Inside it is dark.

 

[Tonguez]

"Good work friend Belok!" Sher grins stepping up as the door swings open.
He wears his armour and has his hand ready upon his crossbow just incase something leaps out from the tower.

Peering into the darkness he allows his eyes to adjust to the lowlight trying to see what ever it is that is waiting to greet them...

 

[Lobo Lurker]

Thane, Rogue/Fighter

Unless one of the spellcasters casts a light-making spell, Thane ignites a Sunrod and leads the way, holding it in the same hand that his buckler is strapped to. His very large sword is held in the other hand as he checks out the room.

"Lets go everyone. Unless anyone has a better idea, I think that my armor will protect me from most of the physical dangers we might meet, therefore I should go first."

Thane also slips on the platium ring that Delmar urged him to buy... just in case, he thinks.

 

[Gideon]

Phelen, Halfling Blue-gel-face

ooc:I'll use Synesthete to feel sound giving me a +4 to Listen checks.
Suddenly Phelens face is encased in a soft blue gel that quickly dissipates. Phelen takes no notice as he slinks in the doorway after Thane. Phelen heads into the tower with a big grin on his face like he can imagine nothing more interesting than doing this right here, right now.

 

[Elocin]

"Alright good job Delmar and Belok, congratulations to the both of you," as Liliana gives them a good slap on the shoulder for a job well done. "It seem nothing can stand in our way as long as we work together. As they always taught me, good teamwork can surpass any obstacle." Thinking to herself that breaking into a mage's locked tower, now this should be a lot of fun. I will have to remember to be somewhat careful where I put my spells as I am sure there are things that can go boom a lot better than my spells, which mind you could be exhilarating, to feel this rush once more, HUZZAH!!!!

"So in what order do we want to go in? I suggest that Thane and Belok both go first side by side (when we can) that way we have good protection and I am positive that there are more traps in here that Belok can easily overcome. Then I would suggest Sher in the middle as he can easily do battle or bring the hurt to our enemies from afar. Then I think Delmar and I can bring up the rear side by side as we are great at long distance combat with our spells and if anything sneaks up on us from behind we are more than capable to hold them off long enough for Thane to come to our rescue. How does this sound to everyone?" Turning and looking at Thane for approval, as he seems more than capable to lead this combat group. At which point I draw my scimitar with my right hand and make sure my buckler is strongly attached to my left arm so my left hand is free to cast spells.

 

[Scotley]

Belok Half-Giant Rogue/Wizard

Grinning at his success, "Thank you friend Delmar, if you ever tire of the temple you'd make quite a rogue I think." Belok nods at Lilliana's plan, "front rank it is." He starts forward Glaive in hand looking out for traps.

 

[Gideon]

Phelen

Phelen waves at Lil "Um...where do you want me? I would guess middle to back."

 

[Elocin]

Liliana Fighter/Warmage

Turning and looking at Phelan with a alarmed and embarrassed look on my face. "Horus forgive me, how did I ever forget about you Phelan. Yes y all means if it pleases you and you would not mind I would suggest traveling in the middle of the pack. With your skills if you were in the middle you can reach out to any enemy within site and smite them down." Mentally smacking herself in the forehead, how on earth could she have forgotten a friend?

(OOC: Whoops sorry about that Gideon, I knew I was forgetting something this morning but for the life of me I couldn't figure it out. What I am suggest is this arrangement of walking down any corridors:
10' corridors
Thane Belok
Sher
Phelan
Delmar Liliana

5' corridors
Thane
Belok
Sher
Phelan
Liliana
Delmar

Any thoughts?)

 

[Tonguez]

Sher steps aside to allow Thane to move in with Belok and through the door as front rank. He grins at the tiny oversight of their smaller companion as Phelen makes his protest and Lilanna her apologies

"T'is all good" he whispers to Phelen "I'm sure that your heart and your whistle will capture our lady's attention even if your stature fails you!"

Entering the tower he grins at his own small humour and grips his crossbow, his senses peeled for any sight or sound...

(ooc PS where's the Manniquin?)

 

[drdevoid]

Delmar

Delmar will take the back, unless Liliana really wants the back, in order to protect the mage from behind.

Delmar nods appreciatively to Belok, "Well some say I'm a bit unorthodox to be sure. Anyhow it certainly won't be the last time we use that combination, Belok. You'll have to help me think of some more ways we can work together." He turns to the group, "And no forgeting Phelen- lest you treetoppers start stepping on me!" he winks in the halflings direction.
