Who Wants to be a Wayfinder? The New Class

Johan spots Midian and Whisper. "Greatings Midian, Lady Whisper," he calls out as he aproaches. "I hope your forays have been more successful than mine." Johan thinks about it again and shudders slightly.

As the heroes make their way back to the core of the city a commotion catches their eye. Well, it catches the eyes of most of them, the commotion, in fact, runs directly into Whisper as they move passed the entrance of a rather seedy looking tavern.

The tiny bug-man stepped back and looked up at the masked woman, uttering an apology, his eyes wide, his movements jerky and somewhat erratic (though you cannot tell if that is due to being a bug-man or if this is some sort of extra insectile perturbation).

[sblock]Know (Nature) to learn about the dromite![/sblock]

"Tel!" the dromite shouted, charging down an alleyway next to the tavern, "Follow me, I think I know where they are! We need to move quickly!"
 

Tel bolts out of the tavern, following the dromite. When he sees his companions he stops them and says

"C'mon y'all, this'n is Modrinn. He has some visions or some-such. He knows where there is some people in trouble right now, an' some ancient ruins fer later. He's tellin' me all about his las' two trips here. Should we go with'm?"
 

Midian

Midian jumps back a bit at the odd creature. Did it seem familiar somehow?

OOC: Knowledge (Nature) = 11+7=18. That get me anything?

"People trapped? Are they close by?"
 

[sblock]They say that a race of mysterious island dwelling insect-men live somewhere in the Thunder Sea, but no outsiders have ever found their hidden enclaves.[/sblock]

Moddrin stopped and turned back to Midian, motioning for the others to follow him as he continued moving down the alley. "I was in the bar and recieved a Sense Link impression. It can't have originated from more than a couple hundred feet away. Someone is trapped and, I think I know where...," Modrinn and the others came to the end of the alleyway, and face to face with a large wall of giantish construction.

"Its the old giant cemetary," Modrinn said, pushing the rather modern man-sized metal gate aside. The cemetary was quite large, its farthest most point abutting the outer wall of Stormreach. Large towering cairns inscribed with weathered giantish runes dotted the field. Most were tumbled or broken, all were composed of rocks the size of men. Interspersed amongst these ancient gravmarkers were more modern markers.

"In there, it has to be, in there."
 

Midian

Midian has a sudden flashback to the encounter with the sky pirates. Then he has the more disturbing image of that same encounter had the undead been giants. Midian gulps, though he keeps up with the others as they proceed.

"Um, Moddrin, are you sure the sending you received was from someone alive? I'd hate to go untrapping, well, something that's supposed to be buried, you know?"
 

"We should spread out and look for signs of disturbed earth and stone. If someone is trapped, it could have been due to a collapse. Let us hope it is not as Midian said. I do not relish the thought of fighting a giant sized skeletal wolf." Clutching his longspear in one hand, Vhir begins moving at an angle across the field.

OOC: Not sure if the dromite was indicating one cairn in particular. If he was directing us towards one specifically I'll head there. Spot of 8 and Search 5. Yes, I definately see my own feet and using both hands and a map I found my own rear. :p

"Now, step light...if thers's anything here fer' me to find, I don' want y'all covrin' it up."

Tel starts moving away from the others, looking at the ground for footprints, signs of stuggle, anything else he can get.

"Modrinn, you have an idea which direction t'go?"
 

Modrinn blinked and shook his head, his antennae wiggling. "No. All I know is that its near, it has to be."

"I don't even think there are any giants left here. They were probably all ransacked decades ago," he said, unconvinced, the thought of undead having not even crossed his mind up until this point.

Those who stepped into the cemetary got a better view of the newer smaller headstones. Words written in common marked most of them, the people of Stormreach must have started using the giantish cemetary as a place to bury their own dead quite some time ago.

[sblock]Spot and Search checks for everyone looking.[/sblock]
