The Retrievers - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Cave - Room 1

After introductions are made and Reinn has been welcomed into the group you decide to investigate the cave a little more. Mainly you decide this so you can sleep safely at night, but some of you have other thoughts such as revenge and possible wealth. Carefully and trying not to make any noise you all crawl down the tunnel to the other room. After each of you make it with minimal noise being made you enter a rather non-descript cave that has a fire glowing in it. When your eyes adjust a little more you can see some burned husks which must have been the creatures Reinn was talking about. I guess his story of taking them out while being tied up was not just talk and your respect for him raises a few more notches as you now have proof that he is competent. You do see a passageway in the east wall that seems to be the only exit from the room.

Sten nods to the new recruit before they head down the small tunnel. Once down in the next section he says, "Should we continue exploring? What else have you seen down here, Reinn?"

Durnn, Earth Genasi Fighter 1

Durnn takes a look at the dead bodies. He takes his greataxe and pokes one of the bodies, mas if he were making sure they were truly dead. "Good job, Reinn. Toasted dog... so delicious. So, does anyone know what these little charred doggies are?"

As Sten brings up the possibility of continuing on, Durnn eyes the entrance. "Um, guys... not that I'm all for continuing down into the cave to flush out our little doggies, but I'm not to thrilled with the possibility of them flanking us, either. While Master Dren's suggestion of blocking the main entrance might take a bit of time and slow us down, I suggest at least one of us watch our rear at all times."

 

[Wilphe]

"Talon has had a bti of a fright, unless someone else wants to guard with him then I will stay behind and get a fire going."

 

[Mimic]

"This is a far as I have been in but I did hear more of them coming from that direction." He says nodding his head towards the openning towards the east. "But I don't know how many there could be."

As he talks he will move forward in an attempt to look down the other passage

ooc: move to 1112

 

[Harvey]

Durnn, Earth Genasi Fighter 1

As Reinn moves forward, Durnn moves to cover him. With his greataxe drawn, he will move to cover the entryway, in case something comes out to attack his new comrade.

OOC: Durnn will move to 1411.

 

[Scotley]

Mindal Human Scout

Figuring that the small passage will make his bow useless, Mindal readies his short swords and moves to support his companions.

 

[Erekose13]

Sten readies his gnomish hammer and joins the others near the exit (1310).

 

[Harvey]

Durnn, Earth Genasi Fighter 1

After listening to the entrance for a while, Durnn speaks to the group. "So, we going in?"

OOC: Listen check 1d20 - 1 = 2. OK, that didn't work well...

Chapter 2 - The Cave

As the party is deciding on what they are doing and slowly advancing towards the exit in the east wall, Durnn stops a moment as he thinks he heard something from the passageway. Shaking his head a little bit he signals that he was just hearing things as there is no noise coming from the passageway and he signals the group to continue. As he turns his head back around and make to go into the passageway he is shocked to see 5 creatures stalking out of the exit. He utters a short yelp from excitement as the creatures focus on him and both parties are frozen for a mere seconds as both groups can not believe what they are seeing. The creature in the back dressed in robes utters, "Something in Draconic - and you should not be able to read but there is no font in here that makes it so you can not read so I will just type some gibberish here!" You can only guess that this was some kind of command as the rest make ready to fight.

Brenden & Rienn[sblock]You surprisingly are able to understand the creature as it commands his minions to, "The uglies that have killed our brothers are back. Looks like we will eat well tonight now kill them all!"[/sblock]
