Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Reprise, IC03

[Scott DeWar]

Kerlan studies the item and then breaks out in a grin. "It seems to make you more charismatic for a short time. Here you go Capizzio, I think you need this the most." He is obviously suppressing a laugh.

With a twinkle in his eye, Capizzio accepts the offer item, "really? hozit work?"

 

[Leif]

OOC: DeWar, see post 245 for the identification of the item. At least, I'm guessing that Kerlan will tell him?

IC: The Wizards trek a bit more to the west, the hills becoming a bit steeper and more rugged. You begin to see small fissures and caves in the rock, and then, as Ty and Fran round a corner, they suddenly halt in shock and pull the party back behind the shelter of the corner: "Orcs," they both say.

 

[Scott DeWar]

OOC: Kerlan has not officially told him yet,so I will wait

Kerlan explains to the others how the item works as they travel.

At the sighting of Orcs he whispers, "Finally. How many are there and is it their home or a group out on their own?"

 

[Leif]

The Wizards are walking along a wide shoulder of a cliff, with a not-too-deep gulley on your right (north) and a steep slope upwards (70 degrees?) to your left. The top of the rock to your left is about 12 feet above you. As you crest a hill and begin the downward trek to more pleasant meadows in the distance, you see a finger of smoke rising from a cave cut into the next hill before you. Just going into the cave, the lookouts Tylara and Francheska spotted what just HAD to be three orcs.

 

[Scott DeWar]

the "Archeologist" instantly becomes alert to the announcement of orcs. He moves back a few steps to keep hidden, then asses the clift side above his head.

[take 10] (climb +5) for 15

he care fully checks foir handholds and slowly (1/4 movement) moves quietly up the racky face [take 10 ?] (move silent +7) for 17.

OOC: if i need to roll the move silent, then let me know

Tylara

"I think it may well be a lair. They have a fire in a cave and there are at least three of them."

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

"So what preparations do we need to make? Let's get ready and be about our business!"

 

[Leif]

[sblock=OOC, Dewar]Taking 10 is fine this time. Appears to be sufficiently successful, too![/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

Tylara

"Well, first preparation I plan to make is watch out for falling rock...climbers," says Tylara quirking her eyebrows upward in Capizzio's general direction. "After that we need to discuss our approach. If we plan a direct assault then I suggest we cast up all the defensive and buff magic we can."
