Yttermayn's "Saga of the Dragon Cult" (IC)

"Then move faster with your stick, sorceror. I'll like to find Grok, if he is alive, while I'm still young." protests Tuk, and pushes John forward.

 

[Amaury]

"Huh? What do you see? A trail?" asks a puzzled Rosalia who checks around.

If she sees something she will resume her search more on the defensive now.

john twists aside and the attempted shove from tuk is nothing but a glance off his sholder. he kneels down where he sees the foot print and points it out to all whow wish to see it.

Armed with John's revelation, Rosalia has a much easier time spotting Grok's spoor. (ooc: Assuming everyone has followed along) Back up the 10 foot cliff, back through the tunnel, and northwards through the first massive cavern with the pool of water in the middle is where the trail leads. The signs that Rosalia has been finding at some point stopped being definitively from Grok and started looking more like drag marks by the time they get to this area.
This is the large, dripping cavern that the stirges inhabited. In the northern half of the space, the floor rapidly gets steeper and rougher. Rivulets of running water form a deeply grooved delta pattern on the slope with the point of the pattern uphill from the party beyond the EOD. The trail Rosalia has been following leads up that way, but the going looks rough and no party members have been up there yet (except maybe Grok).

"So the 'Clay' Grok came from this pond. Go figure..." comments the mercenary, looking at the draggy patters of the footprints.

"Indeed... Let us proceed carefully, it will be difficult should we need to fight whilst climbing that slope."

 

[Amaury]

EDIT"Hum, boys, I think I'm on to something.. see the steps.. look.. hum they kind of change.. not Grok anymore.. so we're following the trail of whatever creature took the appearance of Grok.. but, it still doesn't tell us where the poor Grok is!" half complains pretty Rosalia.Seeing the steeper slope she requests a rope to tie around her waist. She looks for something above her to throw the rope around. If she does, she throws the rope around, and gives the end to someone to ensure her as she climbs up.
Obviously cautious and listening to her surrounding, she will expect someone to follow her closely with a source of light.careful my girl.. careful..

ooc: if no bit to throw rope around, she'll still go up. climb +1 if needed.

 

[Scott DeWar]

John will follow Rosie to continue supplieing light for her to follow the trail. he will tie onto the rope as she has as well.

OOC: Guess I should have specified: The slope is uphill, may want to edit your post Amaury...

ooc: Edited.
