The Red Hand of Doom!!

Virashil, Sorcerer 5, Hp: 13/21

"So, do we spend the night here, or make camp along the way?"

"Also, Jorr, could you point out on the map where this tribe of 'Tree Giants' used to live?"

Jonathan thinks aloud, "Well if we rest now, Kirrg and Virashil are sure to have spells back in case of conflict. But the army may pass by the bridge in that time. If we wait to rest, we may be assaulted on the way there and not even make it to the bridge as weak as we are currently. I say we rest now, Jorr can leave and warn the town. We'll have to take a chance I think and hope that the army is running behind."

"I vote to spend the night down in the secret room below -- we should be safe there, but then again, if someone finds us down there, we would be in a very weak position. So actually, I think we should stay in the barracks -- I don't need much sleep, like you three, so I can take the second watch."

Kirrg frowns, ready to take off his armor yet again, "So many options, and now we get to go take out an old dwarven bridge? I hope Jorr can persuade the city to leave their homes or take up arms. And now we rest in the middle of what used to be an enemy's base, what some of the enemy still considers to be a safe location. This could be bad."

Sir Jonathan

Sir Jonathan listens to his companions voice their uncertainties. "Jorr, on your scouting outside the keep, did you find any sign of more goblinoids or worgs that could be in the immediate area?"

Once the grizzled man has answered Sir Jonathan speaks again. "I have to agree with Virashil. The chamber below the tower appears to be quite secret. If any enemies happen upon this place, they will probably be so mad about us killing their allies they may leave and try and find us. Perhaps we could try and make a fake trail leading off into the woods if that would happen."

Kirrg smiles wickedly at Duroin, "You did a good job hiding that door, now we get to use it once again. Maybe we can have Jorr place a rug or pelt over top the entrance before he leaves. As for hiding our tracks, I'm certain that there are many coming and going from here, especially from those worgs that just fled into Jorr's hands. I doubt ours will cause much of a fuss."

 

[Rhun]

"I vote for staying above ground, where we can watch who comes this way." The dwarf continues to tug on his mustache as he talks. "If someone does stumble upon the hole while we're in it, we will be in a bad position. We can stay in the barracks and maintain a double watch."

 

[ethandrew]

Kirrg nods, "While I do like the security of being below, it is too dangerous. I think Virashil and I need to regain more of our energies in rest. Jorr should head off to Drellin's Ferry right now, so probably Duroin and Jonathan, you will need to take turns at guard. I will apply some general care to you all, so just take it easy during our rest."

Kirrg will apply some Long-Term Care for double level hitpoints healed during the 8 hours. The checks are 16, 28, and 32.

I need a final decision on above or below for the night before I move you along. Does majority rule? Do you split up while you sleep? Do you post watch?

OOC:

If someone disagrees, please speak up now, but I think we will spend the night above ground in the barracks, with watches posted. Jonathan and Duroin are the best suited for 1st and 2nd watch because they do not need to recover spells, but Virashil can do it in a pinch, as she is elven, and doesn't require much sleep.
