"Where?" Alduin is confused after some time. "Of course, we check everywhere! Leave no spoil behind and challenge or threat to linger."

Alduin lends a clever grin even in spite of the frog-spit and grows twice his size before bringing his falchion down on the frog.
Alduin slides by Marlak, and hurries to attack the frog's tongue. "Prepare to hold your breath Bicor."
"Gods have mercy on your souls!" Alduin calls as he grows again in size and swing down over the barricade.
As the Troglodytes let loose their javelins, Alduin takes the opportunity to try and lay one low with his falchion
Then he heals himself "Praise Erastil!"
Alduin clamors in up to the middle of the barricade and shouts "Quit your smelling" before doubling in size and reaching over to attack either the injured one or one to his right or left.
"Gwagh! So rancid!"
Alduin pushes the door open in a grandiose fashion.
Slow but eager Alduin sets the pace heading up to the 4th floor in the lead, casting guidance on the ascent.
Get well soon Cook, and congrats Kala, hope it stays good.
"Think its time to head upstairs."
"Well if no one wants these scrolls I'll carry them until someone does. Anyone need the healing? Where to next?"
Round 1 Alduin drops his pretty great ax and draws his morningstar before entering the room. He keeps a safe five feet away from the burning bones.
Alduin waits for everyone's satisfaction that no one will be answering the door anytime soon before grabbing the largest ax off the rack and going to work at the door. In short order the door collapses to splinters.
"Locked is it? Anyone want to take a crack at the contraption before I chop it to bits with one of these weapons in here?" Alduin looks to retrieve an ax from the weapon racks in the room and perhaps a morningstar if there is one. If no one can manage the lock without force, Alduin is more than willing to brute force it open the might a sharpened blade.
Curse work and its ability to keep us from adventure! :)
Alduin stands ready to move into the next room as soon as he is sure the javelin trap wont go off on him.
Alduin moves up to the Trog target and attacks with his falchion
"I'll see he gets a proper spanking Bicor! Draw his attention!" Alduin moves up to Bicor's target and attacks with his falchion
"Haha! Good show! This hunt is nearing its conclusion, pray that you have few regrets."
Alduin moves through the door, takes a whiff and then moves along the wall to position himself about ten feet away "Smells like rancid frog legs in here." Then he just stands there on the other side of the door, his armor slowing him too much to effectively do anything for now.
"The matter is resolved, let's not question reasons in the heat of now. Let's press on."
The lizards fleeing leaves an opening for the Erastilian zealot who is all too willing to exploit the misstep.
Though it would seem his charge left him out of position.
That's supposed to be a falchion. Not Flacion :P
Alduin was anticipating trouble and charges the creature as it shocks Bicor
Alduin enters the room and keeps to the opposite wall from the lizard and then readies a charge if the creature attacks. "Is it trained or should we just move past it. It guards nothing, and could be more trouble than it is worth."
"I never thought I'd hear that cause for alarm in my travels. Ah, what a thrill, the unexpected."
Alduin aids Bicor in opening the door.
"I do no dabble in the arcane." Alduin shrugs positioning himself close to the door Marlak is investigating, readying his sword to meet whatever wait inside.
Alduin sets to looking for the easiest way up, preferably where there is an outcropping or set anchor point on a higher floor to lasso or utilize.
"Looks like we have a climb ahead of us. Anyone have a grappling hook or climbing gear?"
Alduin cuts the cocoon down and slips the collar off the dog. "The owner will be heartbroken at the fate of the dog, but this collar will give them closure." "Let's move on!" Alduin heads toward the other room across the way in the abandoned tower.
Alduin sets his fists to his hips, throws his head back, and lets out a mighty laugh. After a long laugh and a mighty inhale Alduin wipes a tear from his eye and looks around.
"The Man They Call Malak, look out!" Alduin says moving past Malak and up to the spider. "Haha, I'll give you battle you pest!" Alduin hacks at the spider with his orcish half, all power no finesse or skill with the falchion more than a base familiarity.
No need, Erastil will provide." Alduin casts a light on his sword and then asks Erastil to Guide his next actions before pressing forward into the tower. +light
"Deal! We'll just take some written directions and head for the tower that hasn't been burned down, fallen over, and sank into any swamps. Easy enough to find, but getting there is just part of the story. There will undoubtedly be wildlife from the surrounding area that will have trespassed and established potential lairs. Not to mention the possibility of undead and angry spirits."
"No question there! It is certainly too perilous. The gods bless us this day, for what else would bring a capable team together such as this one! Among my chief weapony are surprise, fear, ruthless efficiency, and almost fanatical dedication to Erastil! In a pinch I can channel positive energy to the living."
"You're in luck Bicor! There are many a spankings to be dealt out in the unexplored tower. Surely such a task completion will lift your banishment."
"Greetings Marlak! Are you an enchanter by any chance? I could use a man that can summon forth fire without flint or tinder, for I have it on good authority from the old man in scene 24, that there is a tower that needs exploring."
I somehow landed on this character build. With a monk and inquisitor we're not a far cry from a themed party already. :)
'Let the hunt for the secrets to the unanswered problems that plague humanity begin'
"Fear not, the number of crickets about has me confident that there are no spiders." Aluin says reassuringly as he waves his large bat to him and hands it an alchemist fire befor it to carries it flying overhead.
Alduin returns from the stables wearing a wooden mask and accompanied by two horse sized wolves, and bat. A ravern sits perched atop one shoulder and a rat sniffs at the air on his other. The mastiffs are missing though, left to the care of the kennel master. "Let's be quick about it then. The orcs have been a thorn for long enough. Let's be rid of them." [Ooc]Ready to go as well.[/]
Alduin is quiet for a time as his dogs walk along side of him, "I would reserve speculation on any plan or prioritizing targets before we have our bearings. I suggested we start with scouting our way to the rendezvous, not to secure it, but so we aren't lost in enemy territory when the fortnight is over. A small unit shouldn't draw that much attention, especially if we don't tarry long."
"Weather is favorable, long lines of sight. This won't be easy given the time and size of the area. Surely we should start by trailblazing to the rendezvous and working our way out from there. I'll see to having supplies for noting landmarks and enemy positions. My mount will be handy in spotting positions well enough in advance and will certainly give us the opportunity to strike where they are weakest. Alduin returns Ainoa's smile, although with a worried look. "Hope we won't be needing rescue any time soon."
"So did we want plan anything or should we just wing it then?" Alduin asks of no one in particular as he looks up at the sky. His eyes scan the horizon noting the shifting winds and foliage positioning before he moves into the town to secure his companions' things from the stable.
Pmed you Malleus.
