The gnome positions himself at the opening of the door, so as soon as the larger warriors get it open even a crack he will be able to see inside.
With a nod to the dwarf Agromite starts moving along the north wall intent to make his way across the room to the opposite door. When he gets the the opening to the north he pauses to make sure there are no surprises before he moves across.
After the brief battle Agromite stands to the side as his companions quickly take stock in the spoils of their efforts. Glad to see that the larger ones finally have some weapons that will be useful the gnome ignores the loot for the moment. Plenty of time for that. And hopefully better hauls, these picken's are slim! Seeing the elf move toward the door in preparation for continuing on, Agromite joins him and checks as well.
Taking advantage Grumthar's tactical move the gnome swallows his fear and lashes out at the wounded rat. The coordinated move is a success, Agromite's sword cutting into a sensitive spot.
Rats....I HATE rats! Agromite readies his weapon. "Let 'em come to us, could be more in the corners. Don't want to get overwhelmed....." The gnome hopes he does not sound scared, but its hard for the longshanks to appreciate just how big these vile things look when youre gnome-sized.
Agromite, meine gnome Freund, vould you inspect ze door, Ya?" "Still not sure what youre saying, my large friend, but I better check out this door......." Its hard to tell from the gnome's expression whether he is serious or he is just messing with the northerner.
"Should we seek out Orghar and the orcs or avoid them? There may be something to be gained from seeking them out, if nothing else their supplies, but they may have more information as well." Agromite takes the offered meat gratefully and immediately rips off a corner with his teeth. "Normally I'd say avoid orcs, but wandering aimlessly around this place seems a quick way to get ourselves dead." "Any information is better than none."
The gnome lets the others continue the parlay while slowly inching his way around.
Gobble gobble!!
Bloody hell, thats a big boy! Peeking around the corner and seeing the ogre, Agromite quickly considers his options. A smirk crosses his face as he comes to a decision. "Hey, big fella!" the gnome snaps his fingers and a small burst of light goes off right in front of the ogre's face. Not waiting to see if the beast is distracted or not Agromite tumbles into the room in an attempt to set himself up for his next attack.
sorry Ive been posting light.....laptop is on its deathbed so I stuck w just iPhone for a while.
Agromite, briefly missing the silence as his companions plod around the new chamber, positions himself near the doorway to be ready if any surprises come at them from the direction of the water.
works for me
Agromite is very impressed that his longshanks companions have finally learned to move around without sounding like the bards at an orcish wedding festival....until he realizes that there is unnaturally no sound at all. He stays to the side of the impetuous warrior while others check the pillars around the room. The waiting is the worst.....
More than happy to let the oversized human take point this time, Agromite follows two steps behind and to Einar's left.
The gnome walks up to the door and cracks his knuckles, cringing at how loud the sound is in the still corridor. He works beside the elf to make sure the door is not trapped before the group opens it.
Agromite follows the elf, hugging the opposite wall and also attempting to stay quiet.
Cursing under his breath the gnome takes off down the hallway, his legs pumping quickly but simply too short to gain as much ground as his longshanks companions.
The gnome can only watch the battle, grinding his teeth that his size is a limiting factor here and resolving to do something about that when he can...
Knowing that his limited arsenal will be of little good against flying creatures, Agromite stays toward the back of the group. HE readies his weapons to aid anyone who is attacked by the beasts.
"One is as good as any, but that doesnt mean everybody pick a different one!" the gnome's leg pump as he jogs to catch up with Jamadar and Einar. "Great way to get us all killed......" Agromite will look down the northern passage but stay put until the others catch up.
"Not sure what's scaring me more....how creepy this place is, or that Im starting to understand that guy......" Once the area is clear the gnome returns to stealthing his way down the hall to continue exploring.
Agromite looks around the room, the gleam in his eye quickly fading as he sees what they fought for. "Well, THAT was worth it. Theres got to be something here..."
Agromite tries to stay calm as the rats swarm around him, but he can't help but notice that the gap between him and his companions seems to be widening. He takes a careful step backwards from the two beasts in front of him before trying to take advantage of Einar's position by striking at another one. His strike is again on target but this time it lands more solidly and draws more blood.
"Yeah! What he said!" The gnome dives forward, partly to escape the predicament he's in but partly to set himself up in a better tactical position. He dodges and rolls his way across the floor before popping up to his feet to flank one of the rats before striking at it. His aim is true and his strike lands but the rat ends up with barely a scratch.
Seeing that there is something in this room, Agromite trusts his small size will keep him unnoticed as he slips into the room. Keeping his back to the wall he takes a few steps away from the doorway to clear a path for the others. and to be ready to find an opening......
heading out for the weekend with no access to the boards......Agromite will continue to stealth ahead checking for traps etc
will be here and waiting.
Leaving this morning for a week of Scout camp with my son. The place has spotty reception but I will try my best to keep posting from the phone (which might make accessing that huge roll20 map a real challenge). feel free to bot me as needed.
The gnome cannot help but chuckle as well. "And we've barely scratched the surface of the depths of this place." "Going to be a LONG delve........."
Agromite shakes his head. "Keep it for now, I'll let you know." Once the party is back in closer formation the gnome moves stealthily ahead.
Agromite doesnt see anything but trying to stick to the shadows and prepare for the battle to come.
Agromite creeps to the east and peeks down the corridor to make sure there are no surprises on the way.
The gnome can only shake his head at their strange companion's habit of forging ahead. He waits for the group to decide on a direction then continues to search for traps and triggers along the way. Ones that einar did not already bull through that is.
I'll be away from my pc for a day or so, feel free to stealth/search/scout as appropriate.
"More careful would be good. This is going to be the quickest trip ever if we dont!" Taking a breath and readying his weapon, the gnome carefully approaches the doorway.
Knowing he is mostly ineffective but not sure what else to try, the gnome takes another swipe with his shortsword.
If no risk:
Not sure his weapon is the most effective but not willing to let these vermin overwhelm his companion, Agromite moves in to strike at the little beasts.
If risk: Not sure if he can strike at the vermin without hitting his companion, Agromite moves into position to act when they are clear.
cooking steaks w Burning Hands spells?
"Little gnome, vould you like to check zee room for traps before ve go on?"[/b] Agromite nods. "Sure makes sense to be cautious........." He stops short, mouth agape, as the archer strides through the door lit up like a nice bright target for all to see. The tiny trapfinder lets out an exaggerated sigh before following Glade Wolf into the room.
The gnome makes a face as the butchering begins. "I'm not exactly into 'finery'" Agromite says, "But....I'll leave that to you, I think." With a shake of his head Agromite moves off to explore the area a little more.
Seeing the creature reposition for another attack, Agromite takes the opportunity to roll across the room in hopes of getting a tactical advantage. Once he gets into a flanking position he attempts to put that advantage to use as he strikes out at the creature. His tumbling puts his aim way off however and the strike does not even come close.
"What the- !!" the gnome lets out a shout as he dodges to the side.
Reacting on instinct, Agromite slashes out before attempting to put some distance between himself and the creature.
We need to stay together. I think we are asking for trouble by splitting up. Agree....the gnome is NOT going to be wearing the red shirt or walking too far away from the captain!
Agromite looks up at the tall human and gives a grin. "Keep the 'torch for the moment, Einar my friend. Let's start seeing what there is to see around here....." The gnome slips quietly through the open doorway and stealthily moves to the left, staying close to the wall as he gets a better sense of his new surroundings.
Agromite shoulders his way forward to help examine the body. "You guys are going to end up like this if you keep bulling forward like this. Rumors are that this place is filled with TRAPS......." Letting his words (hopefully) sink in, the gnome makes his way over to the newly revealed door and begins checking it.
