Wrath of the Righteous

Blessedly, the morning comes quickly and without interruption, although it leaves you wanting more sleep. No attacks are made upon the party and everyone sleeps soundly. You prisoner seems tired and sullen, keeping to himself, but for a few mutterings.

"They want their precious, stupid conformity and order. I bet it was a shock to find their idols turning their backs on it," he says to no one in particular.

"Great, not just a cultist, but a mad one," says Horgus. "But were I a judge, we could deal with this filth quickly."

Anevia retorts, "Mercy must stay our hands. We have a prisoner, and with mortals, honey buys more words that vinegar."

"Mercy must not blind us either," says Aravahnial unironically, "the world doesn't always work the way we want it to Anevia. It takes mighty deeds to bring someone back from the depths of demon worship. We must keep him in the dark and not get attached to him. I have seen too many try and win these people back from the darkness only to succumb themselves. Let us move on so that we can save what little is left on the surface!"

[sblock=occ]Ball's in your court guys. The dwarf is still stable but in critical condition. If he can be brought to positive hit points you can move him risk free, or you can try and move him before hand, but he may start dying again. You can ask any of the NPCs for their thoughts or aid. Aravashnial is the only one actively pushing his desire to get moving and not get attached at this moment, the other two seem to be taking a more wait-and-see attitude. [/sblock]

Calloh, half-elf Bard 1

"This being a new day, I can use my healing power upon the dwarf, if we think it advisable to do so," says Calloh.

Traits: 1. Riftwarden [Campaign Trait] 2. Courageous 3. Anatomist

History: Calloh was born to two adventurers, his mother was an elf champion and his father a human wizard. They were both Riftwardens who adventured into the Worldwound on a secret mission soon after Calloh was born. They left their newborn son with trusted allies, perhaps knowing that their odds of returning were slim. In any case, they met their doom in the Worldwound. Not long after their departure, the foster parents that they had chosen for their son noticed that a mark had appeared on the inside of Calloh's right leg – The Sign of the Seeker's Spiral. [Riftwarden Orphan Trait bonus of +2 on Concentration checks.] The mysterious circumstances of his parents' disappearance sparked an insatiable curiosity in Calloh. When he grew up, he was so intent on making new discoveries and learning new things that he almost seemed fearless when it came to new places, experiences, people, and creatures. [Couageous Trait bonus of +2 on Saves vs. Fear Effects.] Now that Calloh has fully come of age, he seeks to learn the destiny of his parents, hoping against hope that he may somehow find them alive and be able to bring them home safely. For his last trait, Calloh chooses Anatomist, which gives him +1 on rolls to confirm critical hits.

FYI -- Calloh is advancing as a Bard with an eye toward gaining levels in a PrC later. Arcane Archer and Eldritch Knight are his PrCs of interest at this time. Arcane Archer requires him to have a BAB of +6, which he would either obtain by being Bard3 Fighter4 -- CL7, or Bard2 Fighter5 also CL7. Eldritch Knight requires at least one level of fighter and 7th level in bard, so CL8. Or, Eldritch Knight could be pursued by adding a third class, sorcerer to the mix, making Bard2 Fighter1 Sorcerer5, which is also CL8. If he shaved the bard level off he could do that at CL7 as well, but when the third class enters the mix, Calloh will face some XP penalties that will probably make it cost-prohibitive. Realistically, then, we're looking at Arcane Archer at CL7, Bard4 Fighter3. Let's hope that this game continues in good health for a few more years, then!

"Heal him," Shayuri says. "The decision to bring him has already been made, and it's the only way to make him able to move that doesn't involve spending more time down here." She looks around at the others. "We'll keep him bound, gagged and under guard. So long as we're vigilant...it should be enough."
 

[section]Jorgun Revendka, Male Human Inquisitor 1
Jorgun steps up to the dwarf, checking his bonds and placing a makeshift gag in his mouth.


"It was my decision to save the demoniac so it is my responsibility to supervise him," says Jorgun as he kneels down toward the dwarf. "I will ensure he does not trouble us as we walk through this labrynth . We will question him when we're in a safer position." Light begins to glow from Jorgun's hand,which then spreads to the dwarf.

"Aye, Jorgun, if you'll see to the Dwarf I'll do my best to watch for surprises. Should you need a respite from his care let me know and I'll watch him." The Motherless looks around at the others. "Everyone is ready then? What's our direction?"

The Dwarf cries out as Jorgun heals him, and the Inquisetor feels the madman resisting the spell!

“What tricks have dreamt up tis time! No matter how much you make it feel like life, I know that cannot be!”


Eventually you get the dwarf moving and into the tunnels. A steeply inclined path leads upward to the north, its walls lined with numerous nooks, handholds, and dozens of iron pitons that have been driven into the walls long ago. After a 60 foot climb, the floor levels out again. On foot, you travel quietly, apart from the dwarf’s ranting and Horgus’ grumbling, for another half an hour but then another quake hits! Parts of the roof start to cave in and threatening to knock you to the ground.


Reflex and Acrobatics checks everyone please.

Jorgun does his best to keep both himself and the dwarf up and moving despite the ground moving beneath both of their feet.
