sonofab&*#%!! fan out, he may not have gone far
suiting action to words, Gotin starts looking in all directions
add 2 if he's nearby and invisible
K'leck blinks in confusion. "Where little man go? Is no fair teleporting away!" He looks around scratching his head.
Most likely failing to see anything, he looks at his companions expectantly, pulling out an apple to munch on.
Ezra frowns and also attempts to look around.
"I don't see anything..."
Flynn looks around in confusion.
Shadow. Seek.
It appears he is gone. I guess we are at square one again.
Khron punches a fist into an open palm. "Damn slip'ry wizards," he complains. "Now 'at, lads?"
Now? now we do one more check of the mausoleum... who's entombed here, anyway?
are there any legible plaques or memorials anywhere outside or in?
and we know where he was headed, but where did he come from?...
Flynn, let's you, me and Shadow work on backtracking Kathal, maybe find out what he was up to before he came here. It could give us some clue of what his plans are.
Ezra, Yorrick, try to find out the history of this tomb, anything at all could help us get past that stone door. K'leck, please go with them on the off chance they run into trouble.
Khron, I know you're no mason, but before we separate I think we should have one more look at that door and you're probably the best dwarf for the job.
Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Concerns that this is an awful plan?...
leading the way back inside, Gotin thoroughly examines the sarcophagus, SPECIFICALLY
Amazing! I can see my reflection
Khron follows Gotin into the mausoleum, giving the halfling a short look as he admires his own reflection in the sarcophagus' facade. "Yer a loon," he chides. He then sidles up next to him and tries to inspect the structure.
Ezra ponders about the significance of the Tomb's History.
I share with the information with everyone else... perhaps they know more?
Yorrick nods at the info.
To Gotin I agree, once we are done here, I will attempt to backtrack the wizard's path.
K'leck nods at Gotin's plan, still munching on his apple. He follows Ezra and Yorrick about, keeping a lookout for possible threats. "I wonder why he not come back with big, hulking troll friend. I bet he not run away."
Khron follows Gotin into the mausoleum, giving the halfling a short look as he admires his own reflection in the sarcophagus' facade. "Yer a loon," he chides.
no, I'm just shockingly pretty. You wouldn't understand...
He adjusts his hair and licks two fingers before sliding them over his eyebrows. He checks his profile, winks at himself and attempts, once again, to inspect the sarcophagus.
alright, boys! one last thing and then when can move on to tracking and research. Let's open 'er up!
Yorrick stands aside and let's the muscle bound folks deal.
he cast a dimensional door spell. That means he is either quite powerful or quite rich. A shame we didn't collar him
K'leck stretches and tosses the remains of his apple outside before pulling out a crowbar again to try to open the coffin. "Maybe Glifdore have other ideas of where to find disappearing man."
weapons ready, boys. i suddenly have a bad feeling about this
As K'leck is picking up his crowbar, a clank comes from the door. A quick look in that direction shows a hunched over Payk entering the mauosoleum. When he notices the eyes on him, the half-elf quickly rights himself, shuffles to the wall and leans against it. He plays with soe grass between his fingers because casually feigning, "You might not want to do that."
and why is that?
"He'll kill you if you touch it."
Who? And how do you know?
enough of your childishness, Payk. Speak plain. Now, what are you talking about?
"Count Glavius; that's his lost love. He doesn't want anyone disturbing her at all; and he's made that quite clear."
Count Glavius is the current regional ruler. When Andoran came under common rule, the respected count, one of only a few of the previous nobility to stay in rule, was elected as mayor of the region, though he kept his title as count. The Count though, has not been since in public in over a century. He is said to communicate with local authorities, but that information is always more rumored than confirmed.
This was built per something already existing...not sure what that means...
be thatas it may, the wizard Kathal seems to have been using this place as a hideout and has apparently been hosting an orc for company. I think that's a far more pressing concern, don't you? you know, with the whole zombie plague and all?
and what are you even doing here, Payk?
he approaches
"I followed Kathal here, wanted to see what he was up too. "
i see
either way, I'd like to have a look in that box. K'leck, would you lease continue?
Ezra stands back and goes by Payk's side, shaking his head. "This is not going to end well at all. Payk, if worst comes to worst, at least you know that I wanted nothing to do with this."
chuckles and shakes his head whatever you want, Ezra. All of you, if this ever comes out, it was my idea and I acted alone. Open please.
The Toragian leans back against a wall, arms crossed. He keeps a keen eye on the goings on, but chooses not to stop Gotin and K'leck. 'Sometimes ya jus' gotta let folk do dumb thin's...' he muses to himself, worried that they might be biting off a bit more than they can chew.
"Is Count sure love even still in coffin? If run-away man responsible for zombie men and he live here, maybe woman already disturbed? Would Count know this thing? With magic maybe?" K'leck looks expectantly at the spellcasters, who must clearly have all the answers through their magical connection to the universe.
Ezra strokes his beard. "Remember, there were traces of divination magic. He might have been scrying in the area, so if you're going to do this, do it fast."
