Bingo!!!
Search for secret stuff. Rolled a 2.
"One tunnel done. Let's go back to the intersection and check out the next one."
"That's better. Let's ride out."
Hudak likes talking about riding now. It's fun.
I be tinkin' dey wuz some type o' displacer bats. I could nae get me bearing on de beasts! I wanna be lookin' o'er dis place well....
Dravite doesn't find any evidence of displacer bats but he does find amongst the gnawed remains (some human in origin) a pearl ring, a surprisingly heavy sword of dull grey metal, a grimy hat, and coins adding up to 56gp.
[spoiler]Judging by the distinctive codpiece on his leather shorts, one of the corpses would seem to be that of notorious local bandit Shaz "Redshiv" Bilger. There's a reward of 500gp for evidence of his demise in Sandpoint.
"One seems as good as the other. Let's take..." Alwyn looks back and forth between the two tunnel openings for a few seconds. "... this one." He indicates the NW-ish tunnel.
"I know nassink."
What form of sword is it?
"Huh, nice ring. Bet we could get around 300 for a piece of work like this." Illes slips the ring on his finger for now and curls his whip up into a loop again. "Remind me again why we shouldn't just burn this hell hole to the ground before we are fighting a legion of undead plague bunnies next?"
"Burning the house solves nothing. Anything down here can climb out the well - and dig their way out of the rubble. Anyhing down here must be killed. Or killed again, depending on their state."
A bastard sword.
Tricorn.
It's adamantine, but otherwise doesn't look enchanted.
Don't have Kn: Local, but maybe Bardic Knowledge: 14+6 = 20 ?[/ooc]
The north-west tunnel leads down a twisting, narrow passage before it widens into a larger chamber. Beyond, the tunnel narrows down again, and a stange rumbling, sighing noise can be heard emeanating from it.
Illes crouches down over the gnawed remains and pulls out his everburning torch. "Huh," he stands nudges one of the bodies with a foot and says, "and that pretty much closes the book on the mystery of Shaz "Redshiv" Bilger. Remember that bandit hitting the road to Magnimar off and on for the last year?" Illes points down, "This is his ridiculous custom leather codpiece- far as I know there is still a reward of 500 gold crowns for proof of his death back in Sandpoint."
I don't see or hear anything.
"There! Goblins!" Alwyn shakes his head as he sets himself for a fight. "Are there any places that aren't infested by this vermin?"
Aww, sunsa....
“Undead goblins it seems,” agrees Elisile, aiming her bow at the lead critter.
Woo Hoooo!!!
Vethran 'hmphs' at the mention of the codpiece and the reward, oblivious to his surroundings until the others mention something.
Sorry, Missed both checks.
Initiative r6+2=8.
Hudak'll take D4.
1d20 7=12 initiative and surprised, standing by Elisile, just in front of her, protectively.
since he was lagging behind a bit to take the codpiece[/ooc]
Sorry for the delay, Elisile at F5 which probably puts Dravite at F4.
Lucky I rolled high on my spot check to see that goblin standing right next to me...
The little critters emerge from hiding, biting and scratching.
"Bah! Back to your graves, foul beasts!" Alwyn brandishes his greatsword at the screeching critters.
Elisile wheels about, drawing her thin bladed sword as she turns, and jabs it at the goblin-ghoul.
Elisile sticks the nearest goblin in the eye and it flops down. Alwyn once more invokes the dread might of Gorum and the goblins shriek and then explode, spattering everone in the room with reeking gore.
“Your faith is … expressive, Alwyn Agnarrson,” comments Elisile, wrinkling her nose and flicking a string of gory flesh from her arm. “Which way forward? East?”
The goblins detonate before Vethran is even aware of their presence. When the proverbial smoke has cleared, he stares in disbelief at the smattering of gore covering his robes but quickly composes himself and gives Alwyn and enthusiastic thumbs-up.
