TiCaudata's Mish Mash Campaign

[worthley]

"I'm probably the loudest of the group. I should stay back." Ava then reaches into her pack. "I do have this for light." As she pulls out a hooded lantern. "I just can't carry it, my shield, and have my weapon ready."
[sblock=ooc]sorry Di, I had a mind fart on your question[/sblock]

"I also have a hooded lantern, and a number of these torch like things." He says, pointing to a sunrod. "And i think the best place for me is somewhere near the middle."

 

[Dichotomy]

Angrod glances between Ava and Kote and scratches his head. "Ummm... So, are you carrying the light?" With the elf's shifting glances, it is not apparent whether his "you" means the woman, the old man, or both. It seems likely that Angrod himself isn't sure.
[sblock=OOC]If we use a hooded lantern, I'll be 60' ahead of whomever is carrying it.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

"You... uh... did want me to scout, right? I... ummm... can't do that well if I have to carry the light."

Angrod turns to Logan. "Were you askin' me? If, ah, you can, or... want to. Ummm... sure."
[sblock=OOC]Time for fun with hypotheticals...

If the group shows anything resembling consensus that it wants Angrod to sneak ahead, he will hide and move silently at half speed (15'). If there is no such consensus, he will instead take position at the front of the group and not hide or move silently.

If someone carries a hooded lantern or sunrod, and no one objects, Angrod will remain 65' (I changed my mind from 60 to 65) ahead of the person nearest the front of the group that carries such a light source. If, instead, we only have a torchlight, Angrod will remain 45' ahead of the person nearest the front of the group that carries such a light source. If, in the alternative, no one is willing to carry a light source, Angrod doesn't leave the room.

If anyone objects or has an alternate plan that they would like to implement, Angrod will defer.

To the extent that I have failed to cover something, Ti can use his judgment.[/sblock]

That's the way I see the group lining up. (Angrod will be 30' further forward, I just didn't want a long skinny map.) Kote will likely hold the lantern. Argue if you must. The hallway is 10' wide.[/sblock]

"This all seems a bit cumbersome. You see, i have this lantern, and i'll be using it to light my way. You, sir, say you are a good scout. It would seem to follow that you should stay somewhat out of that light. If any of the rest of you are also wishing to be scouts, though why we would want more than one i can not say, you should also remain outside my light. The lady Ava and I will gladly give one or both of you enough of a lead to scout to your hearts content, but i seriously don't think we need to spend the night bickering away about it. If we wish to simply stand around and talk, there are MUCH nicer things to talk about I am sure."

Confident now that he'll have some way to see, Angrod takes the lead and moves down the tunnel.
[sblock=OOC]As previously outlined.[/sblock]

Angrod stealthily leads the way down the passage. After a short hall filled with frescoes of battles long past, a chamber opens up. The only object of interest in this chamber is a statue at the far end. It resembles a sarcophagus standing upright, except that the head of the figure carved upon its lid looks distorted. A pair of batlike wings extends from its temples, and the thing seems to have tendrils instead of hair.

[sblock=oc]Angrod is the only one who can actually see around in the room.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Angrod stops sneaking for the moment, and hustles back to the others. "Empty room... But, ummm... There's a weird thing."

The elf goes back into the room. He first skirts around the outside walls, then makes a more thorough examination of the odd statue.
[sblock=OOC]Using autosearch on the walls. Search the statue. +8.[/sblock]

"Egh?" mutters Logan, obviously now out of his element.

"I'll keep an eye on the other doors while you look around."
