UaVS-Yrtchull's Return...

[Vendetta]

Vorath skitters quietly to the mouth of the cave and pays close attention to the vibrations within the vary ground itself trying to determin if something lay within the cave.

(Vorath moves silently, looking and listening for any sign of danger. His tremor sense allows him knowledge of anything touching the ground within 60 feet. The cave is halfway up the wall, right? He should be easily able to climb it with his spider climb ability and if need be, will let down a rope for the others)

Nurin follows the two Githyanki. He keeps his eyes out for trouble from the rear as much as from front or sides. For a priest he rarely prays for more than his spells each day but this is a rare occasion. Nurin whispers a psalm from the dread book of Vhaeraun.

 

[Uriel]

Nurin follows the two Githyanki.

OoC: There is only 1 Githzerei. No Githyanki yet...
For the record Nurin,Cambrech and Yrtchull are Drow,Teretha is a Tiefling,Rith'Arnis is a githzerei,Vorath is a Duergar(with Insectile teplate],Urftuk is an Orc(with reptilianTemplate).

IC

Vorath moved past Yrtchull, signalling for the Drow to halt a moment, as he easily climbs up the wall towards the cave. Likewise, Urftuk moves forwards, using his talons to easily scramble up the cliff-face after the Duergar.

At the opening of the cave, Urftuk puts a hand on Vorath's shoulder, saying softly ' I smell Derro...but they gone now,.'

Vorath remembers seeing Derro inthe attack on the Wizard's Keep. Perhaps they had recently occupied this cave...

Down below, Cambrech notes that a careful climb would result in a slow, if easy ascent.
<DC 10 Climb>

Cambrech methodically makes his way up.

OOC:Take 10 on climb check.

 

[matthewbajda]

Yrtchull waits for all that are going to make their way up and into the cave, looking each one over as they pass. as much to guard as to see what sort of beings he has cast his lot in with. as the others climb the wall to the mouth of the cave yrtchull makes one last quick search around the forest to see that they party has been followed. when the others have passed, he makes his way cautiously (take a 10 to be sure) up the sruface of the wall. once all are inside he drops a globe of darkness over the whole to keep it periodically hidden from anyone that might make their way by with a torch.

once inside, and under the impression that the cave is secure...

" as you all may or may not know, Cambrech and i have certain interests that we would still like to persue. If any of you would wish to join in aiding us you will be compensated for your help. i know some of you would like to go back and hunt down the wizard in the castle, but that my prove fatal seeing our present state. i sugget that we first set up watch and get some rest before we make any final decisions as to what out plans are. i would like to be well prepared the next time i face my sisters again, so a bit of scouting would not hurt in the least. i can then savor the victory all the more. i will keep first watch for those that want to rest. we can either volunteer or draw straws to see who the next watch will be."

i wait for a response.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Where Cambrech goes so do I. Says Nurin and he floats up the cliff. (his fly spell probably still active for this feat.)

 

[Uriel]

The cave scouted by Vorat with Urftuk at his side in case of trouble, the rest make their way up the cliff-face to the cave.
The whole affair isn't particularly impressive, going back maybe 20 feet, though there is room for all to get some rest in relative comfort (relative to a Dungeon cell anyways...).

At Yrtchull's speech, urftuk says (predictably)'Urftuk go where Master Fera..where Yrtchull go.Kill Sisters when Master say so.' Te Orc seems very interested in the chance to whet his vengeance upon the treacherous Ferach sisters.

Since he doesn't need any rest immediately for spell replenishment, Urftuk sets up the first watch at the cave's entrance (he does have Scent as well...).

Vorath and Yrtchull easily provide the rest of the vigilance required for the others to gain back their much needed power, and all gain rest <Heal 8 HP for rest>.

OoC: All, please replenish/pick your spells and post them in the OoC thread.

 

[Thels]

Teretha follows the others at a short distance into the cave, looking for a spot to rest, preferably in between Rith'Arnis and a wall, a little away from the drow. In Gith, she asks him: "I'm not too enthausiastic about sleeping with the likes of him, but it seems like we don't have much of a choice. Let's just hope the best of things." Addressing the whole party, she adds: "Ahh, it seems like we finally can get some muchneeded rest. A lady needs her sleep to retain her beauty."

 

[Fanog]

The Githzerai leans against the cave wall and listens to Yrtchull. "I will be blunt and say that I care little for your sisters, or for any compensation you would offer. The wizard, though, will feel my blade. He has made enemies of all of us here... We will settle on a plan tomorrow."

As Rith'Arnis setttles in a low crouch, he speaks to Teretha. "My ring does not work yet, I will need sleep tonight. Trust me , I wil wake you when it is needed." The githzerai folds his blades into his lap, resting his arms on them. He closes his eyes, but remains awake for a while. As he is satisfied that he will not be betrayed, he starts concentrating on his body, purging the weariness of their escape and refilling his reshaping the power that his mind holds.

 

[matthewbajda]

agree

Yrtchull nods his head solemnly at Rith'Arnis's words and takes a spot on the cave floor next to Urftuk. He removes his great sword and lays the blade across his lap. concentrating on it from what it seems. content to pass the night in the cave rather than in the stench of a dungeon cell, lays his head back against the wall of the cave and closes his eyes. what will the next day bring. will they take time to hunt down this mage to get revenge? will they be strong enough a force to deal with his magic? what does it matter anymore. He is away from both the castle of the mage and the reach of his vile sisters. He could start something anew... only tomorrow would tell. for now getting rest was the main concern.
