Weed, when you come back on-line give me a DC 15 Will save.
back
"Borvius had: +1 agile breastplate; +1 ring of protection; +1 amulet of natural armor; a finely crafted +1 greataxe; potion of CMW; 500 GP of coin and jewlery."
Is that what you meant?
To Tarvoth:Fair enough . . . I understand your thoughts. With a smile, But I'm also interested in staying out of my hometown's jail. It seems like the ledger might be good enough once we get it decoded. Regardless, I am glad we've avenged your family.
Dar will wait to hear what Weed and Turran think regarding which path to take. He goes along with majority after equipment is dispersed.
Well, there can't be much left. We've taken down the big cheese.
if everyones ok....i can try out that axe.....otherwise im fine with the items going to everyone as above
Borvius was a tricky fellow....i wouldnt be surprised if there isnt something afoot....keep your guard up...how about exploring the rest??
"Looks like I've been outvoted, well let's get this over with, lead on gentlemen."
everyone ok with me taking the axe? i will give up my sword for anyone interested in it
As described, the hallway ends in a 'T' intersection; the skulk and the archer went off to right passage. Both passages run for 20' (5' wide) and then make another turn; the left passage leads downward but the right passage leads slightly upward.
weed takes the axe and feels the weight in his hands....a couple of test swings....
and looks about....at borvius corpse...not trusting things as he sees them....
Dardanius accepts Weed's offer:Never was my first choice at the armory, but I'll take an enchanted weapon over a common one any day.
Suggested marching order: Weed, Dar, Turran, Tarvoth?
Once marching order is decided, Dar will detect evil down each passageway.
Posting for reference: 1 LOH left, Full HP.
Weed doesn't see anything more sinister than a dead body. Dardanius gets no sense of evil down either the left or right passasgeway.
I sense evil in both directions, comrades. I suppose up might be best?
Rearrange marching order to put Tarvoth in middle? Weed, Turran, Tarvoth, Dar?

Per the previous post, Dadranius senses NO evil in either direction.
Maybe Dardanius is MC'd! ;-P
Dooohhhhh
my mind is tweaked....who is who....weed gazes with suspicion at everyone
“My guess is up is out. If we want to leave let’s go back the way we came.”
Maybe Dardanius is MC'd! ;-P
Yes, Tarvoth, I agree. I want to confirm an exit, even if we decide to descend too.
lets continue...see what else we find
Weed leads the party up the slow steady climb of the right hand passage until it he gets to the turn. Looking around the corner he can see the 5' wide passage continues for at least 30' (he can't see further than that from this position).
weed shares the information with the party quietly
Dardanius will detect evil again both behind of and ahead of the party (around the corner).
He also helps look around:
Dardanius does not get any sense of evil. The party sees the scene previously described.
weed moves forward....cautiously.....
Weed moves forward...cautiously...
After about 10' of progression up the hallway he can see the vague outline of an iron-bound door an additional 20' in the distance.
Looks good to me
check floor area for traps....no more damnn trapdoors....
Weed does find a trap right before the door area.
Unless anyone has brighter ideas, I suppose we can try to trigger the trap from afar?
Dardanius attempts to understand what the trap will do:
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Dardanius' untrained mind has no clue as to how the trap might work. Just thinking about it could set it off!
“Looks like we need to turn around unless someone can disarm the trap.”
weed scrutinizes the trap....mumbles...and blows on his fingers...lets see....
Weed gets his tools out and in a few short moments easily disables the trap.
forgot about MW tools....dex...thanks for pointing out
“Who is opening the dooe?”
weed opens the door
Working it from the 'soft' side, Weed is able to unlock and open the door. The hallway beyond runs straight for at least 60' and continues to slowly climb.
Dardanius keeps moving and detecting evil ahead and behind the party:
back up eh....hmmmm....do we clear the other side....??
“Keep an eye open for the damn skulk, I will reiterate my desire to get out of here soon and in one piece.”
The party follows the tunnel for about 10 minutes before it opens up into a thick copse of trees just on the outskirts of Belric. This is one of the last free-standing groups of trees near the town and is generally used as park, and widely perceived as a 'peace offering' to the druids and other wood lovers within the Arthfell Forest. The entrance to the tunnel is cleverly concealed in a large granite boulder. The edge of town is about a quarter mile away.
ok....back to check out the other tunnel....or do we have a different plan in mind
I had the same thought, Weed. But I do think we should try to confirm if they escaped through this way . . .
Dardanius Looks for tracks:
Dardanius and Weed find fresh tracks that they would guess are from the two fled assailants. Both sets lead back to town.
ok...they have fled....do we track them....put an end to that skulk she-b&#!$ that has been plaguing us.....or finish up here....we can always return after...im good with whatever party decides
I'm of two minds: worried that these tracks will go cold and worried that they might dispose of the evidence behind us before we are able to return. I certainly don't think we should split up. Turran? Tarvoth?
“I think I’ve clearly stated where I think we should be going.”
ok Tar...lets do as you say....perhaps later we can sneak back in this way and see what we find if the opportunity presents itself....Say Tar....do you perhaps remember that passphrase we came up with??
