The Whispering Cairn (Team Diamond Lake) - IC

[ghostcat]

Just when he does not need the distraction, Galyle hears footsteps tramping down the stairs. he quickly, grabs his bow, knocks an arrow, draws and aims at the stair. "State your name and purpose." he says in a firm voice.

 

[SJRSamurai]

"Calm down, name's Kendren" says the burly warrior as he enters the room. Staring at the pointy end of the arrow "Came to beg whatever lives here for some gold with this." he says raising his sword to make his point.

In exagerated movements the warrior sheates his sword and opens his arms to show he has no intention to harm the group. Looking at the group he then lets out an embarassed chuckle before his gaze meets Aria. Making no move for subtelity he stares at her for a few seconds with his mouth hanging open before finally managing to tear himself away to look back at the man with the bow.

"My guess is that you folks could use another sword and board, I know my way around both of those, former militia from Blackwall Keep." he says with pride in his voice, before making a sheepish smile.

Seeing a living human walk in and sheath his sword, Galyne relaxes enough to lower his bow. "Galyne" he says "Please bear with us. We have a bit of a problem at the moment."

With that, galyne goes back to counting "21, 22, 23, ..."

 

[SJRSamurai]

Seeing Galyne begin counting and guessing that the man is busy, he moves towards the others, in a hushed tone, to not disturb Galyne, he says: "What's the problem he's talkin' bout?"

 

[Shayuri]

"It's...kind of complicated," Aria answers. She gestures towards the stone tube. "We have a couple of friends down there, and we're counting to see when we should bring them back up."

Aria pauses, then adds, "I guess that's actually pretty simple."

 

[SJRSamurai]

The warrior nodded and then simply seemed to faze out for a few seconds before coming back to reality "How about we all head down there now, if they're in trouble, waitin' around here won't do any good." says Kendren as he heads towards one of the tubes "Which one is it, I'll go down first, ye folks follow me, agreed?"

[sblock=ooc]From Kendren's militia training that seems like the right tactical move to make, leave no man behind and stand besides your fellow men[/sblock]

 

[Shayuri]

Aria shook her head. "It doesn't work that way. The little...carriage in the tube only holds one person at a time. And if we bring it up to bring another one of us down, then it traps them down there until it arrives. We have it worked out. Best not to do anything unplanned or it could throw everything off."

She cleared her throat and added apologetically, "I'm Aria, by the way." She never met Kendran's eyes when speaking, staring instead at the floor. Just shy perhaps.

 

[SJRSamurai]

"Kendren, pleased to meet you." says the warrior and then adds in an apogelitic tone. "Sorry, about staring Lady Aria, I've just nev'r met someone like you before, in any case, I apologize, 't was rude of me."

Noticing that the lady is looking at the floor, Kendren smiles and simply states:"You should look me in the eye Lady Aria, ain't much to look at, I'll grant you that, still if anyone here should look at his boot, it'd be me."

[sblock=HM, Jules] Eldariel slashes at the creature; while he'd be content to simply scare it off, he's certain it's dangerous enough, having knocked out his companion, to warrant martial action.

As it swoops past him, he drops his torch and slashes at the creature, hoping to sever the cord between the eyes.

OOC: is it inside the Tube thing? Or flying up so I can't hit it a second time? If it is still within reach:

Eldariel then slashes at the creature again, going in for a second strike.[/sblock]

 

[HolyMan]

[sblock=OOC] No it missed hitching a ride and is within reach of your second round strike.[/sblock]
