The Gatekeepers of Xendrick (Inactive)

Go to Map.

"What is happening?" Saronis watches each individual not for sure what is going on, with the appearance of the minotuar and the new figure.

Have I already seen this minotaur or is this a new one?

"I'm still a bit lose but that Medusa her name is Harash, she came after the Gnome and ended turning Pauwell Bas to stone, if we follow her to Kyhber's Gate he can be cured" Erdath says to Saronis.

"No, wait, she turned him to stone! Either fix him now or suffer the wrath of my blade!" Saronis says as he pulls his blade.

"Well, supposedly this potion" Cil says holding up the potion the half elf gave her "is the cure form what afflicts the wooden Gnome. As for Pauwell, I'd personally be impressed if he were returned to his original condition, as a gesture of good will as it were."

Harash looks at Saronis and chuckles. Uldor stands down, these are important guests to whom we invite strongly to come with us. The Minotaur moves to the side to let Cil and Saronis in.
Atstone looks at Cil and says What half elf ? And where did he get the potion

Saronis stops to think for minute and then puts his blade away. Harash chuckles softly to himself. Uldor the minotaur enforcer moves out the way then back to the entrance of the Tavern.
Atstone is still looking for answer from Cil, when Harash starts to speak.
Sora Maeyna has made it known to my mistress, that she has need of your services. Cil, my mistress dispatched me to find you and to encourage you to come for a meeting. Also recently the Sora Katra sent word to bring a an elf that is your company to the meeting as well.

"Yup that's right, it is all catching up to me again." Saronis says with resignation.

"Right! I have your "invitation" right here. As for the half-elf and the potion...your guess is as good as mine, but his comment to me led me to believe that he's working for one of the hags as well."

"So, when do we leave?" Erdath says.

We can leave now, but we must travel fast. The Watch should be any minute. Please put these rings on and we shall be teleported to our base, Uldor will carry your friends. .
Harash holds his hand out.

Saronis takes the ring, puts it on and grabs Harash's hand. "What we do for fallen friends, I would hope that each one of us would do the same, if it comes to death or such situations."

As Saronis says his words, he flashes out of the Tavern. Harash then says What brave person is next?

Tucking the potion back into her pouch, Cil extends her hand "Brave? No, I call it terminal curiosity!"

Erdath packs his things and takes the ring.

Saronis you find yourself in a dark room. Soon you here, two thuds about 15 feet from you.
Cil you find yourself bouncing off a hard floor made of rock and its dark.
Erdath you appear on feet, you notice it is dark all around you.

Then in dark...the voice appears...
You need to prove yourself by finding your way out..

"Why do I have to prove anything? Reveal yourself." Erdath shouts and takes his crossbow and cast Light on it.

Saronis pulls his sword and is ready to act if necessary. He looks around the room with Erdath's light. 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 Spot Check.

Coil waits for the globe of light to appear then rolls into the darkness bordering the edge; watchful and silent.

Hide 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

The light from the bow shows a rock floor and further dark ness up ahead. The width of the cavern is 20ft and the ceiling cannot be seen. The air is extremely warm, and the smell of sulfur is thick. There is small breeze, coming from up ahead. The rock seems to be smooth cut and the walls are smooth and glass like.

Well first Saronis will take a swing at the wall to see if he can break, shatter, or scratch the wall also to take some frustration out.
1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 Slashing damage.
"I really hate this, one destiny, two we have to prove ourselves, three a lot of death and destruction. Destiny means villians and heroes, lucky us."

So is there a wall behind us? So there is only one way to go, besides up?

Map1.
Here is a map of the area as you go I will open it more. If you guys know a better tool let me know!

"There are two paths, what should we choose?" Erdath says. The small breeze and sulfur smell are from different paths?

Cil emerges from the darkness, "I would say follow the breeze..."

The breeze comes from both ends and so does the smell

Cil gets a plus 2 to rolls because of the backstory of PC.

"Then Cil you lead the way, I will be just behind you" Erdath says and load his crossbow.

when you guys move far I will update the map.

Cil gets a plus 2 to rolls because of the backstory of PC.

sry been visiting with family

Just this area of Sharn

"Oh well, nothing ventured nothing gained, follow me!" Saronis takes the lead with blade in hand, moving into the passage 15 feet ahead.

As you move down the tunnel, you hear a vague noise off in the distance. Everyone make a Listen Check

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 Listen Check.

I attempt to move silently to get a jump on what ever is making the sound, 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7 Move Silently Check. Though I think about it and see if the group is following, if not, I turn around and join them behind Erdath.

Listen 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13

Erdath follow Saronis silently Move Silently 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Erdath moves and he does the light moves with him. The group notices the sound going moving away from them. On the floor the group sees a light rune.

As the party moves forward, Cil tries to keep the shadows.

Hide 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Move Silently 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Listen Check 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

So what is the marching order?

It seems that Saronis is in front, with Erdath behind him with light spell on his crossbow, and Cil keeping to the shadows likely in the back.

That order makes sense to me:)

There is a red rune ahead of you..that glows softly in the dark..
Have you guys logged into the map yet?

As the rune's light fill the darkness..The darkness around you feels ancient.
[occ]What guys want to do[/ooc]

"Hey Erdath, what do you make of the rune?" Saronis asks and moves to the side so that Erdath can come up and take a look. "If not we should let Cil take a look at it first before we move over it, it could be a trap."

Erdath try to find out something about magic in the rune Spellcraft 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

DM Ashman have you sent the invitation to the map? because I have not received anything

Cil edges out of the shadows and approaches Erdath as he examines the rune. She patiently waits for any explanation he has before she attempts any investigation herself.

Apon examination Erdath notice the rune is spell imprint, it is very ancient "Passwall" mixed with another spell that is harder to gauge.

There seems to be a erie feel to the air around the group... Up a head there is a new scraping sound.

"Appears to be a passwall but is something else that escapes my analysis, move forward with caution, perhaps is the output or maybe something is coming towards us" Erdath says.
