[UaVS] The Silver Door IC

[Serpenteye]

"A most reasonable request, I think," he says to the fish-rimming abomination before him. Turning away from Gentaria he adresses the Kua-Toa and nods respectfully; "We shall pay your toll."

"Jikull, Grolvus, I suggest you collect the fee from each boat and give these fine beings what they deserve." he says, giving 100 gold pieces to Jikull.

Vitrene speculates dispassionately to himself. This should allow us to get our most dangerous fighters in their midst while allowing the rest of us easy access to the shore, so we can get away from these vulnerable boats. If we should even decide to fight them, the toll is quite low and they are numerous. On the other hand they might well decide to attack us anyway if we give in to their demands thereby 'revealing' our weakness to them. If we refuse them we might intimidate them. On the other hand we cannot risk having to fight in these boats. We should strike first.

Enraela waits, eyeing them from her position in the boat. She keeps careful watch while everyone is busy struggling with their pockets and gathering the money together. Nothing about their adventure leads her to expect anything but being attacked at every turn. Her weapons are all within easy reach.

 

[Jemal]

Gentaria reaches into her pouch for the money, eyeing her companions and wondering if they are thinking what she's thinking. She readies herself to summon a swarm of vermin on the kuo-toans on land if her companions start to fight or are attacked.

IC: "We are going to have to get on shore to move these boats aren't we? I will need the neccessary funds to pay the toll these creatures require. "



OOC: Is there a shore nearby? Would we need to disembark and then pick up our boats to go around it?

 

[Dalamar]

"I don't have that much valuables with me, somebody must pay for me."
Arngen takes a steady pose on the boat in case battle starts.

 

[Uriel]

OoC: No, there isn't a shore, there is a Dam, with one end butting against the rock wall of the tunnel, and the other (left) side doing likewise, though there is a cave of some sort that connects with it.

Everyone post or email me with their available Money/cash. I can go through and check (I will), but I want to make sure that our numbers match.
I may be wrong, but I don't think that (after the Herb purchases) you folks have 800 GP to fork over to the Fish Men.Kitana, let me know the leftover from the 'Party Funds' after the herbs as well.
Still waiting to hear from Garyh/Brogark and Krizzel/Brogark as well.

I have crazy conflicting plans this weekend. I was
suppossed to go to DunDraCon, a local Gaming convention for the weekend, which means that I wouldn't really be able to post until Monday.
However, an old family friend has suddenly showed up (well, Friday afternoon anyways), leaving me in a lurch to play host (unless my brother comes over in my stead), in which case I'll be free to game. So, Fates willing, I'll be gone for the weekend, and unable to post. Man, that was a long-winded way of saying 'I might not be able to post intil Monday evening'.

 

[Serpenteye]

Ooc: I think I have 300 GP

How steep is the Dam? How dense are the poles? Does it look like it could be scaled? Or would it be possible to stand at its slope and fight/cast spells?

 

[Uriel]

OoC:Wrong thread, I know.
Ok... it's been more than 3 days since Garyh or Krizzel have posted...Kitana can ask Krizzel (Please)and I'll email Garyh to see what is holding them up.

 

[Jemal]

OOC: I'm still at 200, but I'm not going to part with any to these beasts unless my sister tells me to.

IC: Gentaria waits for a sign of some sort from her sister, but keps her Summon Swarm ready to call upon those hiding in/near/behind the Dam
OOC: Center the swarm on the Dam as close to them as possible.. It'll only bug them for a little while until they hit the water, but it's better than nothing.

 

[Krizzel]

Grolvus has zero cash

With a worried frown the bugbear stilled his oars and leaned back towards Enraela. "Mistress, we're exposed. We should retreat and then find a way to gain advantage," he hissed quietly in his rough voice. Grolvus had little doubt how badly a fight from this position would go for them, but he reached into the sack at his waist just in case, pulling forth a potion to keep at the ready...
