Vale will look at Elektra, "No. Why do you need a flask of acid?"
Stone heals the party.

Vale will take up a position behind the area of Grease, and readies for an attack. Kaven will actually do something. He pulls out a dagger and with Rapier and Dagger slices and pokes at the second Ogre. His Rapier poke exploited a critical opening in the Ogre's defenses.
Surprise Round Kaven waits for Vale to act. Vale follows Flynn and jumps on the bed opposite to the Inquisitor. Kaven follows Vale into the barracks.
Brandark sees nothing in the hallway. He does hear some kind of commotion coming from further down the hall. Vale looks and listens, "It sounds like it is coming from the Barracks. Second set of double doors to the right."
"Its one of the Kreegs. Nasty oversized Ogres. Cruel and sadistic, the lot of them," Vale says. He looks ar Stone, "Swap with me."
Flynn will not find any traps on the stairs. There is a room at the top of the stairs. Crates, barrels, and a stack of firewood have been smashed apart and heaped in a tangled pile in the corner of this room. There is a door to the South. When Vale reaches the store room he looks around, "They have ransacked the place." The party will not find anything of value in the debris to this former store room. Flynn checks the south door and does not find any traps. The door was partially open. Beyond the door is a wide hallway. Vale will convey the first doors you see. The first door to the west is the Infirmary, to the east the library. The second door to the west are stairs heading to the upper level.
"Lucretia," Vale ponders the name. "I never visited the place, but wasn't Lucretia the name of the owner of that gambling barge that caught fire and sunk?" He looks at Kaven. Kaven looks back with a shrug. "I think everyone assumed she died on the barge." Vale considers what just happened, "But if she was some sort of Magic User, anything is possible." Vale snorts in derision.
Vale will try to look hard through the secret door after Garrath makes his comment, "I'll be. I think it's the Fort's jail. But I never saw it like that before. I don't know why this woman would be here."
Vale moves again behind Brandark to get at the first Shocker Lizard. His swipe cuts into the first Shocker Lizard, killing it.
Kaven moves past Garrath to get a clearer shot. But the Lizard moved just enough to avoid the arrow.
Vale is incredibly brave, but he is not the smartest one in the bunch. He passes through the party to a position next to Brandark. Vale hacks into the lead Shocker Lizard.
Unable to see what is happening ahead of him, the big man takes a full jolt from the Shocker Lizards.
Vale shakes his head in disgust, "It is sad, but true. Not all Black Arrows are honorable folk." Vale looks down with a sense of sadness and shame. Kaven looks down as well.
One of the skeletons is lying on the floor of the crypt. All the other skeletons in the crypt are in their niche. All the skeletons wear a type of thin ornamental armor. There is nothing of any real value. There is also nothing that can be determined by the contents as to what happened to create a Specter. Vale will look at Garrath noticing the weakness the Specter has caused, "Let's move back and camp near the waterfall."
Vale senses the danger and moves into the room. He sees the ghostly form. He recognizes the ghostly garbs, "It's the ghost of a Black Arrow! I don't recognize him. And I don't know why he is attacking" Vale hacks at the incorporeal creature with both of his trusty axes.
Kaven moves in behind Vale.
Vale drops his bow, then moves up to the nearest Shocker Lizard drawing his battleaxe. He smiles and hacks at one of the Lizards. But his battleaxe glances off the Lizards slimy hide.
The other Black Arrow, Kaven Windstrike, follows behind. When he sees Vale's hack miss, he fires an arrow at the Lizard. But the bow is not Kaven's best weapon.
Vale looks up into the darkness, "Who leads up into the darkness." Vale looks at Kaven. Kaven shakes his head, "no." Vale shakes his head in disgust.
"It is only by good fortune that we made it to here undetected. We can gather the dead after we secure the fort." Vale says in a matter-of-fact manner.
Vale will speak up, "Commander Bayden once mentioned that there is a secret passage under the waterfall on the south side of the fort." Jakardros and Kaven both give Vale a surprised look.
Jakardos passes Garrath's spare clothes over to the dark skinned man with piercing gray eyes telling him that this may fit him better. Vale is almost as large as Garrath, "Thanks." Then he looks at Brandark and Garrath, "I have heard of the Heroes of Sandpoint." He shakes his head in recognition. He then continues, "The Kreegs killed my parents years ago. I have been fighting them nearly all my life. In the past weeks they killed my brothers too. I don't care how big a company we have, I am ready to go kill more Kreegs. Just give me a weapon." This maybe the most Vale has said in a month. Jakardos and Kaven both look amazed at Vale. |
