Dorian moves towards the open hall, taking up a guarding position hammer ready.
Dorian looks at the door and then at the rogue. Wanna look this over ...in case. Then to the others he says ask Meepo if he knows whats on the other side.
Looking forward to continueing
Truth have a great time
Dorian looks at Yusdrayl for a bit, then turns heading out of the throne area noting under his breath... But remember - your welcome ends when your task does.”...a fine point that.
Dorian whispers to Nee. Ask her highness if shes seen the 4 of them. certainly they came through here.
Dorian tucks his hammer into his belt, but makes sure it can be pulled easily then advances, behind his dragonkin guides.
Dorian continues to not let show on his face what is in his head. Hes like a coiled spring. one wrong move and he is ready to take it to the Kobolds. He stands rock still though.
Dorian met the Kobolds gazes with an even flat look, not hostile, but straightforward no fear. He waited for Nee or Temerith to talk
Dorian hears Jacq's advice and a low grumble escapes his lips and he mutters after Aye, sounding more a swear word than an agreement.
Dorian stands...glowering....'grumpy like all dwarves' he thinks and *harrumphs*
Dorian scowls and proceeds to where Silvash is indicating, ever wary and ready for combat.
Dorian glowers at the quavering Kobold and grumbles Have a care. Kobolds are sneaky bastiches. His eyes darting around.
Dorian moves a few steps into the room looking at the cage and a glance at the crying figure in the blankets Have a care. Somethin escaped here. It might still be here. He started glancing at the ceiling and around the room, hammer and shield at the ready.
Dorian moved into the room and walked around the perimeter of it, examining the stonework...
Dorian stands next to the door that the rogue is listening at, ready for whatever may occur.
Dorian strides forward and pauses looking at the doors. Lets be seein what noises we hear behind em.
Dorian moves back to the center of the room and looks at both doors. and says, Aye Silvash, we go on. I be ready
Dorian moves closer and inspects the runes...Are they dwarven?
Dorian says to Silvash. wanna get dat door opened dere Silvash?
after they pull Dorian out of the hole, he tucks the hammer in his belt loop and grabs ahold of the rope with both hands, making his way carefully across the mess of masonry.
Ooof! ack! exclaimed the Dwarf. At the bottom of the hole he looked around after hearing the squeaks. He stands, shifts the shield ready the hammer and looks around. I be hearin more a dem squeakers
glancing back at Jacq Dorian said. Aye they came this way. This collapse, it na be new. Old. and da masonry leaves space fer da quik of feet ta walk trew. Clumsy uns like muhself mayhap da problems. das all. More like trippin ya know with that Dorian took a few steps into the courtyard trying to maneuver between the blocks. and a big boot got caught in a crack and he went down.
Dorian looked over the rubble in the courtyard while he scratched his beard.
Nay, we canna leave those younguns to fate. We need to try and find them. I suggest we tie rope to each other to cross the courtyard, to keep us from being lost to a sliding rocks
Dorian, now 5 feet behind Nee looks along the battlement, relieved they didnt have to fight the unusually large bat. He waits for them to advance before beginning to move across the ground.
I think the rubble is in the courtyard and youre making a path through it.
Dorian lets Nee past him but he closes the distance as well and looks around from his vantage point at the courtyard.
Yeah except jacq doesn't want to carry a lantern. She mentioned we could use it. And if Nee is carrying one, let's keep Jacques for back up. Dorian has darkvision. I think silvash and lanliss have lowlight.
Dorian says, Ive got 10 torches in my pack. take one ane someone in the middle can carry it.
aye I can be your back up.Silvash. 2nd it is
Agreed. Anything to speed the game along and make thinks interesting are both a big this up in my.book.
Dorian nods when Lanliss asks about treating his wounds. he says I knows Rats can carry diseases. Can ya get a sense if this one did?
Dorian takes a walk around the perimeter of the ledge after putting his armor back on. His vision shifts into the familiar gray spectrum of the underdark as he looks around. What's out in the darkness,? Is the path onward apparent?. The stone stairs ...do they look stable?
Dorian shouts up to the others prior to their descent. don't be forgettin to lower my armor, shield and pack As he checks his wound and then looks over where they landed.
Dorian unties the knot around his waist and then moves over carefully brining the jammer down on a sleeping rat...then does it a second time. ((Any rolls needed?))
((No it does not. so thatd be 14 to hit and 5 damage))
Dorian shook his foot to get the rat's teeth out of his boot, as he swung his hammer again a wild swing that may have landed a glancing blow. Then he grabbed at the knot, trying to loosen it so he could get out of the rope before his comrades were coming down on his head.
Dorian, still with the rope tied around his waist. looked around and saw two of the 4 rats drop to the ground, did they just fall asleep? He shook his head...magic...hed never get used to it. The other two jumped at him snapping with their jaws. One sunk its fangs into his leg. Ack ya dam bastich he pulled the warhammer out of its loop and struck at the offending rat, then put his back flat against the wall so there was less chance hed be flanked. glancing up, he saw Silvash and Nee coming down. It would take them a few.
Drat and double drat oh great and powerful obermind. You foiled my plan to evade rat bites lolol
((First round Dorians AC10 after he's gone he's ac11. Can he shout before his action ?))
Dorian looks at the group. lowers his shield to the ground, and removes his scale mail. Then he looks at the others. Once I be down, pull da rope up an send me armor down to me so I can armor back up whilst you uns come down. Then looking at the others. he continued This'll be slow going, but better and safer then falling and he pulls the rope completely up and ties it off to his waist ...a pause and he adds who follows me. Jacq is last. Temerith 5th. Nia howz about you 2nd? Silvash you 3rd, Lanlis you 4th? That work ok? Temerith pull the rope up and tie my pack to it as well as the others, and lower it to us before you come. unarmored, with only his weapons he grips the rope and starts down the knowing the rope is tied off and will stop him...eventually.
Dorian tries to determine how far they would have to descend the rope before bringing his pack closer to the pillar. Then he rests a hand on it. Fine dwarven stonework this. It looks aged, but its stood the test of time. This rope is good also. I recommend none of us climb down with packs on. We can have four go down, then the last two send the packs down tied. and then they come down.
Dorian drops his pack and walks over to the pillars looking them over checking the strands of rope and peering inside (+2 for the pillars because it's stonework)
For giggles I put him in herolab as well. Did you know Iron Spikes arent Core either? Changed them to pitons. took out the mess kit just to see how it was sitting with the backpack. put things in the right containers hed have them in, then dropped the back pack on the ground. posted that. in his profile. It was a good exercise. Thank you
and as the adventure goes on torches, spikes, food crossbow bolts will be used too ;) Oh I know. Thats part of the fun of actually worrying about encumbrance is playing that part
Light Crossbow cost-35 gold Enc- 4lbs
Total Enc: 118 lbs without backpack: 72 lbs Enc: Light-0-76/Medium-77-153/Heavy-154-230lbs
Yes i did forget to watch the gear associated and a kit was so much quicker. Though I think as you already pointed out the mess kit is probably the only difference in it. I believe the balance was available in core. With his back pack, Dorian is at medium...so expect him to be dropping his back pack a lot so he doesn't have to take a -3 during combat
Dorian looked at Jacq. Im sure we an pitch in at get ya some. ...whats dat ya sayin about cows diein? Mayhap we should see ifn it has ta do wit da ravine afore we go. Ask da farmers yanno. |
