The Red Hand of Doom!!

[Rhun]

Duroin moves off into the trees, silently gliding across the forest loom. He fades into the shadows as he flits from tree to tree, approaching the keep.

Duroin moves off into the trees, silently gliding across the forest loom. He fades into the shadows as he flits from tree to tree, approaching the keep.

The Dwarf finds the stealthy approach fairly slow going, taking care to not step on twigs and fallen branches while off the trail. 40 minutes later he arrives at the keep's clearing at the top of the hill. (this is based on Moving silent at half-speed and not using the path which normally takes 20 minutes at normal speed)
The Old Keep is in very poor repair. The gatehouse is partially collapsed, as is a section of the southern wall. A small wooden building sits next to the remains of a long abandoned garden in front of the structure. The walls surrounding the keep are about 15' high, with a two-story tower looming in the southwest corner of the courtyard within.
Large boulders lie strewn amid the ruins of two watchtowers, and a massive humanoid skeleton slumps amid the ruins of the northern one. The skeleton still wears tattered fragments of hide armor and a large club lies nect to one of its bony arms.

actions for Duroin?

 

[Rhun]

Duroin moves to find a position to see through the collapsed wall and into the kepp's interior.


Duroin is most interested in determining if there are any sentries or such about...can he see any figures or movement?

 

[hero4hire]

Duroin moves into position for a better view but spies no setries posted or movement.

Kirrg finally decides to have a seat against a fallen tree, leaning back and resting his weary legs for a while. He screws his face at the slightest of noise his armor makes and smiles bashfully, "I got tired of waiting on my feet."

 

[Rhun]

Duroin frowns at his inability to detect any movement of sentries within the ruined keep, but continues watching for a few more minutes. He momentarily considered trying to cross the clearing to get a closer look, but decides that would be pushing his luck. Finally, he silently turns and makes his way back toward his companions.

"I hope that dwarf doesn't get into any trouble by himself -- remember the time we had to bail him out against those kobolds?" Virashil says with a smile on her face,"I swear, we can't take him anywhere...."

 

[EvolutionKB]

After Sir Jonathan finishes his prayers, he speaks to his two comrades. "Heironeous has granted me insight into the coming battle, I am ready to go." After about 60 minutes of waiting, Sir Jonathan starts getting physically worried. He begins a slow pace back and forth, between two trees. "I don't know what I do if he got himself killed out there. If he doesn't come back soon, I'm going after him."

 

[ethandrew]

Looking up from his resting state, Kirrg smiles at Jonathan, "You shouldn't worry. He is a strong warrior and has stealth the likes of which we are not capable of. More likely than naught, he is being extra cautious and thorough."

He closes his eyes and leans his head against the log, "Plus if we go looking for him, he won't know where we are."

"You are probably right, that dwarf has been known to slip into some of the tightest spots undetected. Something you don't exactly expect..." Her words trail off.

"You know, I'm no woodsman, but perhaps Jorr -- can you take a look at this trail and tell if anything has passed on it lately?" She says while looking at their guide.

OOC:

How much longer do I have left on my mage armor, if any?

I am assuming that we are not exactly resting on the trail in case someone was to happen along... say, 15' or 20' into the brush?
