Vengeance in Mornonas

[DarkMaster]

Solomon goes down the stairs. He evaluates that he went down about 30 feet deep. At the bottom of the stairs he sees some kind of roughly finished (like a mine) tunel that has a slight slope going down. He moves forwards staying hidden between the imperfections of the wall and moving as silently as possible (move sil 7+7, hide 8+7)

After about moving 30 feets in the tunnel he sees about 50' feet in front of him some kind of tall wooden door (about 10-20'high difficult to judge from the distance and with the angle and 5' wide) lying against the right wall on it's side.

He also see a few rats walking inside the tunnel. They quickly run away when he approaches them.

Solomon Kreel

Does it look like the door was once part of the temple? Either way, Solomon will continue. He reduces his speed even more, keeping an eye out for trip wires and pits.

 

[DarkMaster]

As Solomon carefully approaches the door, it becomes clearer that this was never a door of the temple, more a bunch of planks nailed together.

He continue to approach it very carefuly watching for any traps (search 9+1) As he is about 15' feet from the wooden piece the ground drops under him (reflex save roll 10+5) and he isn't quick enough to push himself aside. Solomon falls 40' feet, falling he has time to see about 10 dagger on spikes pointing up, a body is empalled on a few of them. (dmg fall 16, spikes 3 threathen attack 20, 21, 13 dmg 1+1, 4+1) With an amazing luck the body under him cushion his fall and saves his life. A dagguer scracht his torso, another slides on his armor but the other went all through his left leg.

Solomon

"A bridge; not a door" he thinks as he falls. "And they've taken it to the other side." Solomon takes a breath and tries not to scream or cry out as he hits the bottom. He figures his friends will be along momentarily, and he'll be able to see the light coming and warn them.

He stands carefully and looks around his trap. Are the daggers salvagable? Is there another body beneath him? Does he think he could climb out?

 

[DarkMaster]

OOC the dagger can't be used they don't have handle. The wooden spike could be cut but they would be hard to handle. There is another body, half decayed, probably an orc similar to the one he fought recently. Yes he could probably climb out.

 

[Manzanita]

Solomon Kreel

Solomon will not try to climb out yet. He'll keep an eye out above. If he sees light, he'll call out to the others. He'll use his heal skills to bind his own wounds in the meanwhile.

Xavier Roces, Servant of Heironeous

Xavier ponders what to do about Master Conrad and Co. as he walks the balconies with Jt'trialiala. But despite the attention that he gives the problem, he doesn't come to any satisfactory resolution. He does, however, decide that it is time to return Jt'trialiala to the Baron's castle.

"Well, I think that I have seen enough. Shall we go?"

If she agrees, he heads down stairs and to the front door, which he pushes open (assuming that he can.) He steps outside, pausing for a moment to enjoy the sunlight and consider the area in front of the church. He selects a couple of places where he might ask some questions about what has been happening here lately - shops or taverns would be his first choice.

If Master Conrad wishes to be more forthcoming, now would be the time to be so.

 

[DarkMaster]

About a minute after his fall Solomon starts to see the light coming from the stone held by Dai.

 

[Ferrix]

Dai follows the hallway, holding Solomon's light up to see.

Solomon Kreel

"Ho! Ware the pit!" Solomon shouts up, cupping his hands around his mouth.

Assuming the others can lean over and see him, he'll shout up. "I have a rope. Let me throw it up to you. It should reach. I'll tie it around myself and attempt to climb up the other side of the pit, towards the wooden bridge. If I fall, try not to let me fall again. Or is there another way around to the bridge?"
