Arm (AC 14, HP 18) Thursday October 20th, 2005 6:01:52 AM
Arm advances so that he has a clear shot at the beast when he is able to strike at it.
Wilfire Ironhouse d20+7=25 Thursday October 20th, 2005 7:57:51 AM
Wilfire pulled out his holy symbol and started casting. "ANIMUS ARMA!" he called out, and before him a spritual flail appeared.
Directed by Wilfire's left hand, the flail began to spin and move towards the strange creature. (hit AC 25)
Shadow [AC 21/18 HP 20/20] Thursday October 20th, 2005 9:51:24 AM
Shadow drops his glowing rapier and draws his bow hoping that he will not need his hand to hand weapon.
DM Scott (for DM Kathy on Vacation) d20+4=11 d20+4=16 Thursday October 20th, 2005 10:05:00 AM
Kadaz and Conner connect their swings at about the same time. The creature gives out one burst of sound and collapses in a heap from the great amount of damage. As some of the group moves towards the dead creature another one drops from the ceiling headed straight for Evan, but like it's counterpart it also misses. A second later the whole group is plunged into darkness. At the initial moment of darkness no one can see a thing.
There comes a high pitch sound that does not bother the group, but it is eerie and not a usual sound.
Conner [AC=22; HP=44/44] d100=31 d20+10=28 d8+6=14 Thursday October 20th, 2005 10:21:20 PM
Conner strides towards the spot where he saw the creature fall and swings down in the dark [% miss chance = 31 beats 50; Hit AC=28 for 14 HP]
"Sing out your position so we aren't hitting each other" he calls out to the group.
Evan d20+1=15 d20+2=5 d8+3=11 Friday October 21st, 2005 5:57:07 AM
(errr, what happened to my post from yesterday?)
Evan reacts instinctively, swinging both axe and sword at the creature that fell next to him. (these numbers include a -4 for darkness, sword hits ac 15, axe- 5, sword dam- 11)
DM Scott Friday October 21st, 2005 9:44:55 AM
OOC: Because of the server being down I will not post today (and let everyone catch on the post I made yesterday). We will catch a break because of the server going down for almost 24 hours.
Kadaz [ AC21, hp 53] Friday October 21st, 2005 10:23:40 PM
Kadaz look around using his darkvision to see where everyone is standing. "That was a magical torch I threw and it went out. Something out there covered it" he says softly to the others.
Arm d20+4=23 d20+4=9 Sunday October 23rd, 2005 6:01:53 AM
Arm pulls out one of his sunrods, activates it, and holds it aloft...hoping to help out the group by doing so. In the meantime, he searches the area for trouble (listen=23, spot=9).
Mira (AC 13, 22 HP) Sunday October 23rd, 2005 11:55:25 PM Strange, thinks Mira, the Sundrod should be good for a while longer.
Then an idea dawns on the sorcerer, and she puts a hand to her temple as she focuses past her party and into the void. She focuses her energies on detecting the presence of any magical auras. (Detect Magic)

Listen=23
DM Scott (for DM Kathy on Vacation) d20+4=21 d4+1=2 d4+1=4 d4+1=5 Monday October 24th, 2005 9:55:21 AM
After what seems like an eternity (but really only just a few seconds), the group sees a flicker of light further along the cavern. (Where Kadaz threw the everburning torch they suddenly realize.) Then Arm brings out another of the sunrods, just as Evans misses with both of his attacks. Conner had strided in and connected with a mighty blow that takes the top part of the stalactite creature off. It does not move. Just then another of the creatures drops right on Kadaz and starts wrapping it's tentacles around his throat. (dmg=6).
Shadow [AC21/18 HP 20/20] d20+2=14 d20+2=22 Monday October 24th, 2005 9:57:14 AM
Shadow still not sure of everything that has gone on tries to see if he has a shot with his bow. He suddenly realizes that he probably would hit Kadaz, so he chooses to scan for other creatures. (listen=14 spot=22 nat. 20)
Wilfire Ironhouse d20+4=15 d20+7=12 Monday October 24th, 2005 10:50:57 AM
Wilfire uses his dwarven darkvision to perform a quick and dirty scan the roof (spot 15).
Next he nods his head in the direction of the creature on Kadaz and lets out a grunt, while drawing his holy symbol from the chain around his wrist. Instantly his spiritual flail responded, flying off towards the stalactite creature (hit AC 12). (move action)
Not pausing to see if his weapon hit or not, Wilfire started casting once again.
"AUCTUS AMPLIO!" he called out, and instantly Kadaz body started to grow in size.
OOC- cast enlarge on Kadaz.
Kadaz [ AC21, hp 47/53] d20+9=15 Monday October 24th, 2005 5:37:54 PM
Kadaz starts to reach for his throat and quickly realizes that with a shield on one arm, and an axe chained to a guantlet in the other, he can't really do much about the creature gnawing on his throat. And on top of that, he wasn't really expecting to grow!
He shakes the shield off his left arm and tries to grab the thing while growling "Somebody help me!" If he gets it off he'll throw it to the ground and stomp on it.
(To Hit: 15 + bonus for size? damage
Conner [AC=24; HP=44/44] d20+4=17 d6+4=5 d100=85 Monday October 24th, 2005 10:12:55 PM
Unable to see the fighter adopts a defensive position, his spiked shield over his head, just in case another of the strange creatures drops from above (Fighting defensively Effective AC=24, Hit AC=17 for 5 HP, made 20% miss chance). Conner slowly makes his way back towards where Mira and the others were, hoping to find some light.
OOC Conners attack is a shield bash should a creature drop on him from above - I've taken the -4 to hit for fighting defensively
Mira (AC 13, 22 HP) Tuesday October 25th, 2005 1:32:04 AM
The sorceress is confused by the malfunctioning of the sunrod. She uses one of her spells and tries to re-light it. (Cast Light)

Arm d20+4=15 d8+3=10 Tuesday October 25th, 2005 5:53:28 AM
Weighing the odds, Arm chooses to help his friend. Dropping the sunrod, he swings at Kadaz' tormentor (attk: 15, dmg: 10).
DM Scott (for DM Kathy on vacation) d4+2=5 Tuesday October 25th, 2005 9:54:18 AM
OOC: Sorry Mira, I forgot about your detect magic. I will go back and post from last round for Mira, and then on to the next round.
(Previous round)Mira looks around after weaving her spell to locate any auras of magic. She sees what the group has as far as magical auras (I do not have all the character sheets, so I will assume no one is keeping anything from the mage.) She then notices that the creatures are showing that they are magical, but the two that are dead have their auras fading.
(This round)Wilfire's magical flail misses the creature that has attached itself to Kadaz. Kadaz in the mean time shakes off his shield and tries to get a good grip on the creature to pull it off. He however does not get a good enough grip on the creature and his hands slip off when he pulls. Arm swings at the creature and misses. Kadaz suddenly starts to grow larger, but this might have been a problem becasue the creatures tentacles are wrapped around his throat trying to choke him. With his sudden enlargement it cuases him to not be able to breathe at all. (dmg=5) He starts to feel light headed from lack of oxygen.
In the meantime, Mira brings forth light once again from her sunrod. Conner and Shadow do not see anything else in the vacinity that poses any threat, other than the one creature still attached to Kadaz's neck.
Shadow [AC 21/18 HP 20/20] d20+4=21 d4+2=6 Tuesday October 25th, 2005 9:56:17 AM
Shadow will drop his bow and draw his dagger. He will move over to where the creature is attacking the giant Kadaz. (If Kadaz falls over unconcious, Shadow will try and cut the tentacle off that is choking his comrade.)
(to hit=21 dmg=6)
Kadaz [ AC21, hp 42/53] d20+9=13 Tuesday October 25th, 2005 5:31:45 PM
Kadaz waves his axe wildly in his right hand around trying to catch a breath. He grabs at the creature with this left hand and tries to pull it off. (to hit 13)
Evan ac 18 hp 24 d20+3=6 Tuesday October 25th, 2005 5:56:23 PM
Once Evan can see again, he drops his weapons as he leaps towards Kadaz and tries to grapple with the creature in an attempt to try and pull the tentecle from his throat. Unfortunately, he does not seem to be able to get a grip on the creature.
Conner [AC=24; HP=44/44] d20+10=17 d8+6=9 Tuesday October 25th, 2005 7:25:47 PM
As Conner re-enters the light he sees the creature wrapped around the dwarf's head and the obvious peril that follows when the dwarf enlarges. He swings at the creature despite the danger to Kadaz, knowing that if the creature is not removed it will surely kill the guardsman [Hit AC=17 for 9 dmg].
[OOC Creatures magical darkness should be unaffected by Mira's light Spell or the sunrod - it isn't clear to me if I can actually see Kadaz and the creature or if I am just guessing the position based on his muffled gasps]
Arm (ac 14, hp 18) d20+4=20 d8+3=7 Wednesday October 26th, 2005 5:55:40 AM
Arm again swings at the creature, again hoping not to hit Kadaz. (attk: 20, dmg: 7).
Wilfire Ironhouse d20+7=22 d8+1=6 d20+7=18 d10+6=9 Wednesday October 26th, 2005 8:03:35 AM
Wilfire's spiritual weapon attacks again (hit AC 22) as Wilfire moves closer and starts casting again.
Meanwhile Wilfire closes in and swings hard with his flail (hit AC 18, damage 9)
DM Scott (for DM Kathy on vacation) Wednesday October 26th, 2005 10:08:04 AM
OOC: Actually the initial darkness (2) of them would have canceled out the light spells and the sunrods, but the Mira had cast another light spell after the cancellation.
The group converges on the creature attached to Kadaz and mutilate it trying to remove it from him. The creature lands on the ground in multiple pieces from the all out attack from the group. Kadaz staggers a little, but he does get enough air in his lungs not to pass out. He is however quite large for a dwarf (the enlarge spell still in effect). The group looks around and listens to see if there are any more of the creatures, but they do not find any evidence of anything (other than the three dead ones).
"Where to now?" Shadow asks the group.
Wilfire Ironhouse d8+3=7 Wednesday October 26th, 2005 1:54:56 PM
"Me apologies Kadaz" Wilfire started. "Miscalculated me use of deh magic. Figured a weebit more size would 'elp ya git dat ugly thing off'ya."
"Maybe dis'll make ya feel a wee bit better" he said as he started casting.
OOC- burn endure elements for cure light wounds. heals 8 on Kadaz (the bonus should be +4 not +3)
Kadaz [ AC21, hp 50/53] d20+1=13 Wednesday October 26th, 2005 5:04:52 PM
Kadaz gasps and fills his lungs. He kicks at the creature on the ground out of anger. "Wilfire, thank you very much for the healing. And yes, a bit of warning before you make me big would be appreciated." Kadaz picks up his shield from the ground and fits it on his arm, once again ready to fight. He looks around for trouble, this time making sure to look up. (spot 13)
Conner d20+3=13 Wednesday October 26th, 2005 7:19:50 PM
Conner relaxes as the dwarf manages to shed the battered remains of the creature and draw a breath. "I had no doubt you would overcome the beast" he grins impishly at Kadaz as the words escape his lips.
With a quick scan of the ceiling, Conner points to the direction of the whispering from before and suggests they move on. [Spot=13]
Arm d20+4=8 d20+4=5 Thursday October 27th, 2005 6:00:37 AM
Arm claps a hand on Kadaz' shoulder, which is easier to do now that he's larger, and says "Stout heart, my friend. I fear we have many more challenges before us before we're done here.". To the group, he says, "Aye, let's investigate the source of that whispering and be done with it.". He looks around furtively before moving on (listen=8, spot=5), but hears and sees nothing.
Evan ac 18 hp 24 d20+8=12 d20+6=18 d20+9=14 d20+9=29 Thursday October 27th, 2005 6:05:47 AM
Evan kneels and scoops up his weapons as he scan the area, including the cieling for whatever made the lights go out. With weapons in hand once again, he begins to move forward. (listen-12, search-18, spot-14, track-29 nat 20))
Shadow [AC 21/18 HP 20/20] d20+2=4 d20+2=10 Thursday October 27th, 2005 9:08:33 AM
Shadow looks around with the group, but does not spot anything. He will search the creatures to see if he can find anything. After doing that he will move back and get his bow and rapier (which he finds is no longer glowing). "Do we continue on this way?" he points in the direction they were headed.
DM Scott (for DM Kathy on Vacation) Thursday October 27th, 2005 9:11:22 AM
Shadow searches the creatures while the rest of the group scans the area for further dangers. Both are for naught because there does not seem to be anything with or in the creatures and there does not appear to be any more signs of other creatures.
The group starts back around the outside of the cavern. The travel another 30-40 feet when they see two tunnels that exit the cavern. When they get closer everyone now can hear the faint whispering, but they are not sure which tunnel it is coming from. (The group can tell it is coming from this area though.)
Wilfire Ironhouse d20+4=5 d20+8=21 Thursday October 27th, 2005 6:02:47 PM
Wilfire listens closely to the whispering, trying to discern if it sounds like spellcasting. (listen 5, spellcraft 21).
Kadaz [ AC21, hp 50/53] Thursday October 27th, 2005 7:12:28 PM
Kadaz looks around, his nerves tingling. "Pick a tunnel, Shadow. You probably have the best hearing. Just follow the sounds."
Arm d20+4=7 d20+4=17 Friday October 28th, 2005 5:57:17 AM
Arm tries his best to help Shadow decide which tunnel to take, hopefully with better results (spot=7, listen=17).
Evan ac 18 hp 24 d20+8=20 d20+9=10 Friday October 28th, 2005 5:57:25 AM
Evan glances at Shadow to see which tunnel he will choose then moves to the entrance of the other tunnel, listening and searching the ground for tracks. (listen-20, track-10)
Shadow d20+2=21 d20+2=10 Friday October 28th, 2005 9:49:26 AM
Shadow tries to determine which way the whispers are coming from and see if there is any other indications. (Listen=21 Spot=10)
DM Scott (for DM Kathy on Vacation) Friday October 28th, 2005 9:56:03 AM
Both Shadow and Evan indicate the whispers seem to be coming more from the second tunnel. Shadow indicates this and looks at Evan for support on whether or not the Ranger can tell if that is the right tunnel based on his tracking ability. Evan is not sure, so Shadow moves the group into the second tunnel. They follow the tunnel for about 20 feet when the all of the group start hearing the conversation. It does seem like conversation and not spell craft, so the group continues on.
About 50 feet down the tunnel the group spots a sharp turn to the right, and the talking seems to be coming from just around the corner. Shadow approaches quietly (but not sure because there does not seem to be any light coming from that way in the tunnel) and peers around the corner. He is right because there is no light coming from that direction (only from behind which he notices flashes his shadow on the far wall).
Shadow Friday October 28th, 2005 9:57:47 AM
"Well, I think the whispering/conversation is coming from around the corner. I do not think we will surprise anything or anybody because there is no light source back that way, and our light source probably gave away our presence. What do we want to do?" Shadow asks the group in as quiet a voice as possible without whispering.
Conner Friday October 28th, 2005 9:04:05 PM
"We could just introduce ourselves" suggests the fighter from his position near the front of the column.
Evan ac 22, hp 24 d20+8=27 d20+9=20 d20+10=23 Saturday October 29th, 2005 6:40:12 AM
Evan quietly moves up to the corner and hides, keeping his attention in front of him while the others decide what they want to do. (isten-27, hide-20, move silent-23)
Kadaz [ AC21, hp 50/53] Sunday October 30th, 2005 8:50:15 AM
Kadaz whispers to the group "Conner's right. It could be the others up there, those that hired us. Be embarassing to attack them."
Mira d20+2=9 Sunday October 30th, 2005 8:01:54 PM
Mira follows the others towards the strange whispering. She tries to listen (Listen=9) but the conversation of her companions distracts her.
Wilfire Ironhouse Sunday October 30th, 2005 11:33:23 PM
Wilfire is careful to hang back, so not to give away the groups location with his loud armor.
Arm d20+4=16 d20+4=6 Monday October 31st, 2005 5:56:11 AM
Arm agrees, "Aye, the best course of action is to move forward.". He does his best to try to see what they are about to confront in the meantime (spot=16, listen=6).
DM Scott (for DM Kathy on Vacation) Monday October 31st, 2005 9:45:45 AM
Evan moves up to a spot just short of the turn and hears someone say, "Would you be quiet. You are going to bring those things to us and we will all be dead." Then he hears someone else try and muffle a sob.
Evan motions to his companions to move around the corner. (OOC: sorry Evan but felt you would move them along) The group moves around the the corner and once light is brought to the scene the group sees a makeshift camp. There are blankets spread all over to form areas to sleep, the smell of the human waste is undeniable, and there are about seventeen people gathered very close together at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel does not go any further and dead ends at about twenty feet from the turn.
Conner d20-2=13 Monday October 31st, 2005 5:23:20 PM
"You won't have to worry about those beasts any longer" Conner pipes up in as friendly a voice as he can muster. "Kadaz here looked after them!" Conner flashes the assembled throng with a toothy grin before sheathing his sword to show that he poses no immediate threat. [Diplomacy=13]
Kadaz [ AC21, hp 50/53] d20+1=10 Tuesday November 1st, 2005 5:49:33 AM
Kadaz turns the corner and stands back from them. He looks carefully at them, watching to make sure this is not a trap. If all looks ok he will resume watching the rear, making sure they are not surprised. (spot 10)
Evan ac 18 hp 24 d20+9=14 d20+8=14 Tuesday November 1st, 2005 5:56:51 AM
Evan smiles to Mira as the group moves into the tunnel then nods towards the group. He knows she'll be able to charm them into relaxing so he moves back to the entrance of the tunnel to keep an eye out while the others deal with the refugees. (spot-14, listen-14)
Mira d20+5=15 d20+2=22 Tuesday November 1st, 2005 7:50:52 AM
The sorcerer advances until she is with those up front. Holding the sunrod aloft she volunteers, "could we be of some assistance to you? Escort you out of this place?" (Diplomacy=15) She looks from face to face, trying to get a fix on the mood of the people. (Sense Motive=22, nat 20!)
Shadow Tuesday November 1st, 2005 9:44:45 AM
Shadow moves forward to see how many people are actually here. He will let the others deal with the people once we find out if they pose no threat. He does move away from the smell, and wonders why it has not drawn the creatures to them.
DM Scott (for DM Kathy on vacation) Tuesday November 1st, 2005 9:49:25 AM
"We are hiding from those monsters, they took Frank and Charlie." One of the closer men says. He seems distraught and malnurished. Looking around the group notice that all of the people seem to be very distraught. Remembering the events in the city above the group can guess that these people fled with no real knowledge of what would be down here. Mira senses only that the people want to survive.
They shake their heads in agreement when Mira suggest that they get escorted out. The group starts to gather what few belongings they have to move out with the group.
Wilfire Ironhouse Tuesday November 1st, 2005 10:47:25 AM
"Anybody hurtin?" Wilfire asked aloud, as he moved towards the camp. "A healer I be, so lemme take a look at yer."
If Wilfire found anyone with grave injuries, he will heal them before escourting them out.
Conner d20+3=17 d20+2=22 Tuesday November 1st, 2005 4:59:24 PM
Conner stays near the front of the group and keeps a careful watch for any new dangers. He re-examines the ceilings of each area they move into, just in case they missed any of the strange tentacled creatures.[Spot=17, Listen =22, Nat 20!!] "Does anyone know what those things were?" he asks.
Arm d20+4=15 d20+4=19 Wednesday November 2nd, 2005 6:00:42 AM
Arm shakes his head at Conner's question, "I have never seen one, but I have heard stories of them...I cannot recall what they are called at the moment, though.".
While the refugees make ready to leave, Arm keeps an eye out for trouble along the return path. (listen=15, spot=19).
Kadaz [ AC21, hp 50/53] Wednesday November 2nd, 2005 6:23:59 AM
Kadaz takes his turn to ask a question of the refugees. "These monsters, what did they look like?"
Shadow d20+2=19 d20+2=22 Wednesday November 2nd, 2005 9:45:31 AM
Shadow will take the lead once the group has the refugees ready to leave. He will keep an eye out for any more of the creatures. (Listen=19 Spot=22, nat. 20)
DM Scott (for DM Kathy on Vacation) Wednesday November 2nd, 2005 10:00:34 AM
One person steps forward and says, "We have one person injured over here, and all the rest of us are just hungry and tired." He will show Wilfire to the woman that looks to have hurt her ankle and has a cut above her eye that has been crudely bandaged. Wilfire will apply some healing magic to her, and finds out a simple curative spell suffices to take care of her minor wounds.
The group starts heading back they way they came with the group in tow. The group stays relatively together and they are very subdued as the group makes it's way back through the caves. They do not spot anything or hear anything as they pass the various tunnels.
They finally make it back to the entrance cave and the group suddenly starts to talk again. "We have made it." is the overwhelming feeling from the group of refugees.
Mira Wednesday November 2nd, 2005 11:39:23 PM
Mira will volunteer to lead the way out. Holding her sunrod high overhead to light the way, she tells the group to use the light as a reference. The sorcerer retraces the steps the party took, using the chalk marks on the wall for guidance.
When the party regains the entrance of the tunnels she turns to her mates, and enquires, "should I use one of those scrolls the other group gave us to let them know that we are out?"
Evan ac 22, hp 24 d20+9=12 Thursday November 3rd, 2005 5:53:57 AM
Evan frowns slightly and signs to Mira, Aren't we going back in? There could be more people down there. He keeps a watch on their backtrail as they escort the people out. (spot-12)
Arm d20+4=22 d20+4=10 Thursday November 3rd, 2005 6:03:06 AM
Arm voices for the most part the same opinion that Evan did, "Mira, we MUST go back...I can't believe that this was the only thing that we've been paid to do, as this was much to easy, more or less. There's a LOT more area for us to explore, and I say we do it.".
He then keeps an eye on the way they came for signs of approaching trouble (listen=22, spot=10).
Kadaz Thursday November 3rd, 2005 6:49:13 AM
"Mira, I don't think we need to use the scroll yet. Let's just go back and search some more." Kadaz opines.
Conner Thursday November 3rd, 2005 7:43:29 AM
The tattooed fighter nods his head in agreement with the others. "Now that you are out of the tunnels, you should head for one of the temples. They will look after your wounds and help get you settled. Can you get there on your own?" he asks the assembled survivors once they reach the surface.
Wilfire Ironhouse Thursday November 3rd, 2005 8:30:01 AM
"Me votes fer goin back in... pronto!"
Shadow d20+2=18 d20+2=20 Thursday November 3rd, 2005 10:36:43 AM
Shadow will let the rest of the group deal with the refugees, and he will keep a watch out for anything coming from the other tunnels. Responding over his shoulder, "I think we should continue searching the tunnels." (Listen=18 Spot=20)
DM Kathy Friday November 4th, 2005 2:36:35 AM
OOC: Sorry everybody. I just got home, and I've got to be in to work at 6 AM tomorrow, for a 12-16 hour day. I'll have to do my DM post over the weekend. Apologies for the delay.
Arm d20+4=19 d20+4=14 Friday November 4th, 2005 5:56:31 AM
While waiting for the group to either head back into the caves or otherwise, Arm keeps an eye open for trouble (listen=19, spot=14).
OOC: Let me be the first to welcome you back, Kathy!! Never fear, the game's still in good hands, and we're all still alive. ;)
Wilfire Ironhouse Friday November 4th, 2005 4:03:08 PM
OOC- Excuses, excuses Kathy ;) But seriously, welcome back!
P.S. I'm moving tommorrow and I likely won't have intenet for a few days, so I might miss a post or two.
DM Kathy Saturday November 5th, 2005 10:09:04 PM
One by one, the townsfolk climb the knotted rope, and stand blinking in the square. By the time you climb out and join them, most are weeping--some with relief from being rescued, others in shock or grief at what has happened to Plateau City while they were underground. All express their gratitude to you, and it takes a bit of time before you can extricate yourselves from the handshakes and hugs.
You manage it at last, though, and prepare to make your way down into the caves. As Arm said, there's a lot more to explore down there--and there's still a possibility that something within the caves could present a danger to the city.
You climb the rope back down, then follow the high-ceilinged tunnel back to what you've come to think of as "your" cave. Three passages still extend from it. One, you now know, leads to the underground cathedral, with a few side passages you haven't entirely explored. The other two passages remain completely unexplored.
So....which way will it be?
Arm Monday November 7th, 2005 6:06:05 AM
Arm looks around and says, "I think we should be as thorough as possible with this. Let's go back to the cathedral and finish those side tunnels first. That way we'll be certain that we've looked everywhere.".

Kadaz agrees with Arm. "If we leave some tunnels unexplored we may miss others lost in the dark."
Conner Monday November 7th, 2005 8:06:27 AM
Conner takes his place near the front of the line. "Agreed, lets return to where we last were and continue to explore the area as methodically as possible."

"I will follow what the group decides, but lets make sure that Evan takes a look to see if there are any tracks down those other tunnels." Shadow suggests as he once again takes his place in front of the group. (Spot=7 Listen=5)
Mira Monday November 7th, 2005 3:26:24 PM
Mira takes up position near the back of the group. "I'll provide the light and mark our route like the last time," volunteers the sorcerer. "I've got another Sunrod or I could hold a lantern...or whatever," she adds nonchalantly, trying to hide her concern over going back down into the dark tunnels.
The woman stiffles and involuntary shiver and draws her cloak tighter about herself. When the ranger passes by to take the lead, she gives his arm a supportive squeeze.
Evan d20+9=10 d20+9=12 d20+8=18 Monday November 7th, 2005 4:02:09 PM
Evan pauses next to Mira, smiling encouragingly to her as she squeezes his arm. He holds out his axe for her to see, reaches out to touch the sunrod, then touches his axe. An eyebrow quirks in inquiry.
Evan moves to the front and quickly leads the group back down to the cathedral, his eyes scanning the tracks on the ground as well as listening for any odd sounds. (track-10, spot-12, listen-18)
