Igneous raises an eyebrow, "I'd hoped to no longer have to do such things since being a free dwarf, but I suppose if I must, I will... but uh, let's get closer to the city, it's not tha' most pleasant walking experience as you could well imagine".
"Excellent, back to town we go, but we will need to make sure we hide that signer ring. We might be searched as we enter town once more and to lose it to the guards would be to lose everything our employer is counting on I'd wager".
"My thanks Lizbit!"
Igneous grins at Ruhk, "Look, if the rest of you believe you should, you should, I just don't want to take any of it". Igneous will palm the ring for their employer. He turns to Lizbit, "I've been injured a bit, any way you can heal me my friend?"
"I'd say that's the ring, but we should leave the rest and lock up, I'm not here to steal the clients treasure after all, just what he paid us to take".
If no one can demonstrate skill to open the lock Igneous will smash it off with his mace.
"I'll pull, help me lads and lass!" Strength
Igneous attempts to lasso the chest. Survival
"Maybe we should rope and drag that sucker out now...."
Igneous grabs Anton motioning for Rhuk to grab Lizbit!
Reflex save -
"I could throw something at it?" Anton says, throwing a spike in his hand. Igneous shrugs, "Sure, try that, let's see if it triggers any traps or such".
"Maybe that old guy's ring is in there!" "Oh I agree. But I am wary of traps..." Igneous wrinkles his nose as he insects the area, wishing for the first time that he was a thief...
"Anyone handy with traps? If not, perhaps we can throw a rope over it and drag it to us..."
Igneous grimaces, "That was much harder than it should have been eh. Damned dead. Odd that the family crypt has undead right at the entrance, did they purposefully set the dead to roam to stop looters?"
Igneous swallows hard as the blade just misses him and swings his mace at the set of bones once more, losing his flank as the foe turns towards him directly! Mace Attack - - Damage
LOL, 4 terrible attacks in a row!
Igneous, cursing, gets back on his feet!
Igneous shuffles forward at the Skeleton that Anton attacked with a shuriken. Mace Attack - - Damage
"I can see but do the rest of you need light?" Igneous lights one of his torches and steps in, mace in hand.
Yes in deed, one of you now has the key!
Igneous pauses and feels around his person, "Hey! The key!" He uses it to open the lock confounding their forward progress.
As he searches he asks his companions, "Any lock pickers among us? I'd hate to just break in...""Are you worried that the undead will call for the authorities?" Glendal asks. Igneous grins, "No but I don't wish to damage property of the man that hired us, it's his family crypt".
Igneous will search for some sort of way to open it that perhaps doesn't involve a lock - Perception As he searches he asks his companions, "Any lock pickers among us? I'd hate to just break in..."
"Let's hope we're not ghosts in this crypt anytime soon". Igneous heads to the door and attempts to open it...
"Anton is correct, we haven't much time to dally as we have a goal to accomplish while here. We find ourselves short of allies, suddenly, and have something of great importance to retrieve, care to join us Glendal?"
Igneous raises an eyebrow, "Well met Glendal Knobstomper. Do you regularly patrol this site or are you simply out looking to rid the locale of threats such as these?"
Igneous nods and grins ever so slightly, "That went well, could have gone badly. These Ghouls are dangerous..." He frowns at teh downed Handsome, "Let's hope Handsome recovers quickly and we can keep moving".
Igneous stays the distance as best he can while attempting to finish one of them off completely, "We don't need them crawling after us, that's for sure". Heavy Mace -
"Miserable damned thing!" the Dwarf exclaims as this time, the Ghouls claws miss their intended mark. He strikes back! "Take that, go back to the ground from where you came". Heavy Mace -
The claw strike the Dwarf and he feels an extreme pain in his arm, he manages to pull way before... something... worse can happen!
Igneous strikes back at the one that clawed his arm! Heavy Mace -
Though his strike is a bit weaker than he would have liked.
Igneous grimaces as his shot misses, he drops his bow and draws his mace, swinging at the Ghoul that's closest to him. Heavy Mace -
"Dangerous indeed..." Move action to draw long bow and fire! Attack
"Uhm, did we know the way to crypt we're looking for?" Lizbit is less worried about whomever wields the shovel.
"Great, let's keep that that way!"
"There's someone here, with a shovel during the day. I presume they are working. Let's proceed with caution anyway". Igneous moves forward shying away from that area where he spotted the motion but circling towards our the object of our employers interest, his family crypt.
Igneous peers around at the cemetery looking for any sign of movement before he enters. Perception
"It's more of an investigation really. I am no longer working directly with the League of Lightning. However, if these grave robbers prove to be undead, we will instead arrest their activities".
"We are headed towards the south. Looking in on the state of the burial grounds, rumors of graverobbing there. Nasty business".
Igneous shrugs, "Well, that's one way to get his attention". He calls back out to the elf, "We have heard rumors of some dangers to the south? Have you heard of them? Perhaps more importantly, we wonder have you encountered them? A barter of information for information if you will?"
Igneous nods at Rhuk's commentary, "Better not to mention our destination at all, simply ask what's he's seen is my recommendation".
Igneous pauses and turns to Angoldil, "Fair Angoldil, do you see yon Elf? Perhaps you can make contact with him, see if he has seen any danger from the direction we're headed?" Igneous points out the elf he has spotted.
Igneous takes point as the party heads south to their destination.
Igneous leads the group in that direction, wary for danger even this close to the city.
Igneous smiles, "See you on the return Samuel". Igneous checks out the map once they exit the city. As he has been outside the city in this general vicinity he gets his bearings and tries to decide the best way to get to their destination while avoiding any naturally difficult terrain. Knowledge Nature
"Of course Samuel, no reason not to".
The guard nods and says, "Congratulations, my term of service won't be up until another year. As for news, there has been raids of Wild Elves from the Chondalwood on caravans of late. I think it may actually be orcs, but there is no proof." "Huh, any rewards from the King or his ministers for anyone who might aid in bringing these raids to an end or perhaps providing proof of who is behind them? Terrific! One year isn't too long after you've already done the first four. You will feel like it's over quick enough my friend".
"Excellent! My new friends and I are headed out of town for a bit. Any news from travelers you've heard that might be of interest? Oh and today is my first day of retirement, my five years with the League of Lightning was up yesterday. Time flies eh?"
--- Igneous will approach and call the guards by name adding, "Good morning Gentlemen. Lovely weather today eh? How's the day been thus far?"
