The Retrievers - Chapter 2

[Erekose13]

"Well we need to get out of this storm. You say its really small eh? I wonder if we should try to widen it to get to where ever you heard this scream. There might be another way in, but I don't think we'll find it in this storm." replies Sten in probably the longest string of words you have heard him put together yet.

(ooc: waiting on the decision from the gorup on what to do, espcieally waiting for Talon/Pemberton to mention something if they are going to mention anything.)

 

[Wilphe]

OOC: I'm waiting on you to tell what Pemberton sees when he turns round. I expect it to be other than what is actually there though...

Mindal Human Scout

Mindal waits to see what the rest of the party reports before considering entering the cave. He doesn't want to get into a two front battle.

Chapter 2 - Cave Entrance

OOC: I'm waiting on you to tell what Pemberton sees when he turns round. I expect it to be other than what is actually there though...

(ooc: Right you did mention something about turning around and looking to see what was going on....ummm, again my bad....)

Pemberton is amazed at just how fast he can turn around and with expecting the worst, some hellish creature attacking the group from behind, already in the middle of eating poor Talon. He is somewhat dumbfounded at the scene he is looking at. There lies Talon at the feet of a horse he does not recognize. Talon is looking up at said horse with eyes as big as the moon and his body is quivering in fear, at a horse. With the fright that he gave you, you are undecided on whether or not to finish the job yourself. Walking over to help Talon to his feet you can see that the horse obviously belongs to someone as the horse still has a saddle on it and some other provisions. Going around to the other side of the horse you can see one small dart sticking into the saddle and another one sticking into the flank of the horse and the wound seems to be a few hours old. Something happened to this rider and it was not anything good....

OOC: So, if I have this straight, Sten, Kor, Mindal, and Durnn are over by the cave entrance. Pemberton and Talon are by the horses. Do any of the party by the cave hear anything to suggest something is going on by the horses? If not, then Durnn will probably not turn back to them, having the cave to preoccupy his attention.

"I'm game for going in to flush whatever is in there out. But if the tunnel is smaller than I am, I might have a hard time doing it." Durnn turns to Sten. "How do you suggest we widen it? Through some spell gifted by Grumbar, or through our own two hands? Either way works fine for me... I'm freezing out here!"

(ooc: everyone can make spot or listen checks to notice something happening by the horses, but becuase of the winter storm thier is a penalty, but just between you and me, its a horse. I am not THAT mean, well ok I am - snicker, but not this time. Otherwise you have it spot on.)

 

[Wilphe]

Pemberton looks at Talon, concerned that this horse might not be all that it seems...

"Talon, you okay? Get the others, I'll be here.", he looks at the horse, assessing it's condition and wounds and petting it softly, "So where are you from eh? Where's your master?"

 

[Erekose13]

"I had intended to use my pick and hands. I do not yet have the ability to shape earth, though it is within the realm of Grumbar." replies Sten over the sound of the storm.

Chapter 2 - Cave entrance

As the group is discussing what they are going to do about the cave you here some thrashing behind them and twirl around to see Talon materialize out of the snow.

"Ah there you all are, Master Pemberton would like to see all of you back by the horses. Here let me lead the way." With that he turns back around and takes a few steps and then waits for you to follow.
