Adauth: [sblock]The alarms in your head are gone, replaced now with static. Occasionally, the static is interrupted with bits of words or phrases, but they are generally unintelligable.[/sblock]

Milo: [sblock]The glowing green "threads" are still here, connecting you to all of the other characters (and them to one another as well), but they are a bit harder to see here.[/sblock]

Larris Human Fighter

Larris will greatfully accept some stew. "Much better than the rations I had tucked away." He grins and adds, "He who dies with the best food wins."

 

[Kelleris]

"Heh. And this would be the other reason not to go galivanting around out there before having a look around."

To Roth - "Thanks for that incredibly insightful analysis. I'm pretty sure they didn't expect us too, and I don't know if they know where to look for us either..."

Adauth helps himself to some stew and eats it quickly before standing up, now dry, and calling his armor and weapons back to himself. He makes a few passes in the air with his hands to warm up, and then casts his spell, studying the image for several minutes before doing it again to get a look at the inside of the shrine. Opening his eyes, Adauth describes the area to those gathered around the campfire.

"I think I can get us in there, though I'm not entirely sure what the mechanism is for. I haven't seen the like since I visited the Great Foundry of the Imperium." {OOC - But I'm willing to try to figure it out - a 32 bardic knowledge should get me something.}

"Now, next order of business. How experienced are the lot of you. We'll have to manage this carefully, since it looks like some of you are new to this sort of thing. I'm a fairly old hand myself, a soldier for many years and a wandering troublemaker for many after that. I can also speak for Ganshinji - she earned her name of Quickaxe. How many of you feel comfortable taking point, and how many will need protection. Be honest, please..."

{OOC: Ashy, is it okay to just have them read my spoilered description in this post?}

 

[LeifVignirsson]

You all can argue all you want about who will take the point and who will defend whom... I am going to go around and scout out the area a little more, make sure that there aren't any nasty surprises in store for us...

Grundy pulls out his sword and slashes it around a bit, a trail of ice following its motion.

As for my protection, I have Is Kyssa... I have Valandra and I have Hume... I think I can do just fine at the point...

Grundy nods to them all and starts to make his trip around the house, this time to make sure that there aren't any traps or whatnot...

Grundy (spot) 18 + 3 for spot skill = 21
(search) 8 + 10 for search skill = 18

This certainly is a strange building. Or whatever it is. But i'll bet the inside is probably warmer than the outside.

Kal will walk slowly around the sturucture or whatever it may bee looking for a way in.

Larris Human Fighter

Larris answers Adauth's question honestly but a certain tightness in his tone suggests he is offended, "I come from a long line of soldiers. I'm a fair hand with a sword and I've been in more battles than I can count. I've seen some strange things today and from the magic and such I've seen I figure I'm not up to the power of some of you. The things we are facing are new to me. But I avoided the waterbeast, was the first one dry and first to come up with something to eat, so I figure I don't need too much baby sitting." Finally he grins appearently letting go of what ever anger he felt, "but I've been a soldier long enough not to volunteer either."
OOC: 6th level.

 

[Mad Hatter]

Before Grundy goes out Ganshinji says: "Well that was interesting. It might be wise to scout around a bit while Aduath attempts his scrying. I'll come with you, ummm Grundy is it? We should travel in groups until we get a more definate impression of what is going on."

[Vendetta]

Wayne sits there eating a small portion of the stew and listening to the conversation. To the observant who understand human emotions, it is obvious there is a great deal of thinking and concern going on behind his visage... it seems he's about to make a startling revelation.

 

[kyloss]

Well I'm descent with a sword but by no means a master but have managed to pick up enough tricks to survive despite a few encounters with unmen and such I was mostly recently in the Sirens lands working as a mercenary, before that blasted line. As I am sure you can tell by my skin I am one of the bloodmarked though I am of no great power, in fact near as I have been able to tell I may have no real power at all save for this shall we say unusual complexion.
