Tolenn give Ceirn a look and holds her fight hand in a fist up to her chin, then extends her index finger towards all of the other gnomes impaled on the barrier. As she does she silently counts, 1...2...3...
Tolenn's nose twitches at the familiar smell of death, commenting "It would seem our gnomish friends bit off more than they could chew..."
She nods at Astrillith's perceptive observation, "indeed, someone or thing lurks behind yon barricade..."
Tolenn nods and leads the way, lantern held high, peering at the walls and floors and ceiling ( if visible ) for any other gravity traps or somesuch...
Yup I agree. Apologies for my absence, going through some stuff...
As the others discusses the relative merits of having someone look ahead for dangers, Tolenn gazed upward , then downward, trying to acertain just how she missed the gravity trap and door, then she looks over, "Huh, what? Oh, yes, let me check ahead..." She fetches her lantern and moves forward...
[oox]Sorry for my absense...nice idea GM! :) [/ooc] Satisfied that her piton was shouldering some of the burden and the Vondal and Astrillith's muscles were up to the task, Tolenn looks upward, wondering aloud what she'd been thinking since the trap sprung, "How did I miss this?" The then appraises the wall and leaps up , climbing up to where the grappling hook had grabbed purchase.
Tolenn easily crosses the distance to the trapped door, declaring, "Well done!" patting Vondal on one of his flexing biceps.
"Sure...here you go." Tolenn replies to Vondal, tossing him the ring she found.
Tolenn picks up the key, the walks over to fetch her lantern, casting it about the room to see its true dimensions. She then joins the others at the fallen armor, holding up the key, "Look, I found this key on the ground. Also, this fell out of the armor..." she says, taking the ring she found out of her pouch, showing it to the others.
Tolenn comments, "Pretty." as she tosses the ring up into the air, catches it and puts it into her pouch for later examination. She then moves to where she's seen the shiny glint before the armored behemoth has made its appearance.
Tolenn lets out a big breath as the metallic behemoth falls, she steps forward looking over it remains, then exclaims, "What's this?" She prods at the gauntlet, moving it over so she can see what gleams behind...
Tolenn's rocked by the armored figure's blow, and in the moments as she gathers herself, her comrades rain blows and magic down upon their foe! "right, " she mutters to herself, "It's slow, big...and really quick! And empty..." not wanting to get whalloped again for the chance to get behind it, she slides up beside Vondal and tries to find a weak spot...
Tolenn places the lantern on the ground by the entrance, so that it spills it's light upon the advancing figure. "Well...it's big, I'll give it that..." she comments to Vondal at her side. She bounces lightly , rotating her head a few times, rolling her shoulders. She'll wait until the creature is about 15ft away, then leap forward, daggers appearing each hand from somewhere on her body. She strikes with the longer dagger in her primary hand, then slides between the figure's legs to end up behind it!
Tolenn looks back at Vondal, "What? you know what that is?"
Tolenn sat with Ceirn, nursing her own drink. She'd been polite with with newcomers, but demurred at the offer of bathing with them. Perhaps, it was some of her more puritanical Neverwinter upbringing, despite her having dispensed with much of that during her time here in Waterdeep. She sees a few acquaintances in the crowd, most pale at catching her gaze, melting back into the teeming crowd. Smirking, Tolenn catches the eye of a fellow second-story-er, and with a nod to Ceirn, joins them in the corner. After sometime reminiscing with her old friend, she sees the newly-clean new friends emerge and joined them in retiring to their room. After trying to hydrate enough to ease her hangover, Tolenn joined the others in returning to the dungeon! After finding the door opener, she peers down the revealed hallway. Muttering, "Don't these places have torches lit in all of the stories?" She lights her lantern, and moves forward carefully...
Ok Trapspringer's Gloves and MW tools to me! Gonna catch up on the gameplay!
Hey there
Seems I have some catching up to do, if you'll have me back that is. GM? :)
Tolenn extricates herself from the amorous clutches of a partying halfling, sending the unfortunate fellow careeing back into the teeming crowd. She arrives in time to see the dwarf's annihilation of the elf's face, and the subsequent show down with her newly acquired companions, at least Vondal seems to be trying to be diplomatic. "As you can see from my glowering companions, " she said, waving her hand toward Astrillith , Ceirn and Olga, " their desire to sit with you is all-encompassing. Come, let us drink and eat and...well, see where the evening takes us. What are you drinking?" she finishes with her most winning smile.
Momentarily separated from her new companions by the raucous crowd, Tolenn weaves her way adroitly past other revelers. It's at that moment that she spies the very valuable real estate becoming available. She also sees others have done the same. With a feral grin, she sets off towards the prized table, utilizing all of her acrobatic skills to navigate around, over and under the other patrons in her way....
Tolenn refused to believe the gnomes were truly acting with altruism, and kept glancing backwards as they led the group back to the Well, half expecting a another group of gnomes to ambush them! When they arrived at the Well without incident, she pursed her lips, allowing herself a small bit of reflection, her time in the underworld of Waterdeep having jaded her opinions. She ascends with the others, and wordlessly hands over the fee to the Well tender. Her eyes widen at the mention of resurrection, knowing how dear that kind of magic can be. She nods to Vondal, "Tomorrow morning then, if you'll still have me along. I'll leave you to your rites with your friend. "[/b]
Tolenn curses under her breath as her dagger toss goes awry, but smirks with satisfaction when the charming dwarf assists the swarm in felling the ogre....right on top of the fallen Simon! Wincing in sympathy, she watches over the others as the extricate the unfortunate halfling and minister to his substantial injuries. Even from where she stood, she recognized the signs of Simon's death, pursing his lips, "too bad...he seemed a brave man, little, but brave."
Tolenn casually clears the pit and lands lightly beside Vondal, executing a neat pirouette around the sturdy dwarf, commenting drily , "Appreciate the offer..."
She nods at Vondal's observation, "not just one something...but two somethings...."
Tolenn eyes the interesting columns and what looks like piles of possible loot on the floor. However a glance back shows at least two of her new companions have turned back to assist the panicked Simon. With a sigh, she backs out of the smelly room, commenting, "I think we'll all go get'em..."
Tolenn feels her gorge rising as the smell truly hits her, but with a cough and a shake of her head, she resists the impulse to run away from the fetid air. She blinks as her scouting buddy run away from the smell, but shrugs, she can't really blame him....it is quite atrocious. Squinting her eyes in an unconcious reaction to the smell, she wracks her brain trying to figure out what might be causing the stench.
She moves forward commenting over her shoulder, "I'm no slouch when it comes to sniffing out traps...."
On the other corner, Tolenn advances, glances across at Simon , then back making sure the others are following. She thn advances, hugging the wall...
Tolenn crosses her arms and shares Simon's amusement at the other's commentary, adding her own ,"Do they usually chat so much...hard to do important work otherwise!" she says with a smile of her own.
Tolenn nods at the suggestion to move forward, commenting as she bobs her head, "At least the can keep a beat...." She follows Simon, her eyes watching the halfing with professional interest. She quickly determines that he's much better at this than her, and opts to help out instead of compete, whispering to him of any possible signs of traps etc she might see.
I'm here.
Tolenn nods to Ceirn, "I agree, wholeheartedly! ". She then turns to the other three as each give's their own version of agreement, her eye's widening in delight at the sight of Astrillith's snake. "I humbly accept your acceptance!" she declares, then turns back to Hellig, "My skills you ask? I must admit my career has flirted with the criminal element of this fair city..." she says, then chortles, "Ha! 'Embraced' is more like it! I've snuck, I've stolen, I've stuck, I've chivvied , I've seduced! And I've been pretty damn good at it all!" she says, smiling to herself at her own successes. As she was talking , she slowly walked in a circle, absentmindedly pulling blades from various hidden locations around her body, each time returning the blade to it's hiding place with practiced ease. Then , she stops, examining the dagger in her hand, looking up to the group, "But, that's all behind me! I seek grander things now! "
Tolenn looks to the others in the group, quipping, "Should I blush?" then she looks back at Vondal, "Cute...I'll take. Limber...you have no idea!" she says, then throws her head back and cackles, throwing a wink in Sister Olga's direction. "I think I'll enjoy our time together...that is, if the others agree..." she says, looking back at the others again, thin, pretty eyebrow raise questioningly.
"You came down alone? That is a dangerous act. We have ran into several people who did not do so well coming in solo. Were you looking to join us or continue on your way?" Ceirn asks as the others search the bodies. Tolenn nods, "Indeed, that was my aim. As I said, I sought to catch up to you from the main well entrance." She smiles confidently, "I've survived the underbelly of fair Waterdeep these last 6 years, I'm sure I help you survive whatever Undermountain throws our way." She cocks her head in Astrillith's direction, "Adoption a frequent occurrence for you group...whom shall I call Ma and Da?" she says , with a smile and laugh.
Ceirn decides the two retreating creatures are not an immediate threat and so looks back at the newcomer and says, "And who are you?" Stowing her bow, now that the threat was over, the woman straightens and rolls her shoulders, "I am Tolenn, of Neverwinter originally, now a staunch Waterdhavian. You are well met!" she declares. She stands about 5'6'', with a slim but powerful body. Exuding confidence and competence, she turns her own regard to each of the party, nodding, "Yes, you must be the latest group to venture down the Well. I had hastened to join you, but there was too much of a ruckus for me to do so down the Well. I had heard of another entrance in one of the 'Portal's chimney's and well....here I am." she says, spreading her arms and turning about. You all notice that the only weapons she seems to have is the bow she used in the latest melee. If she has any blades they are well concealed.
"My apologies for bringing those and that down upon you," she says, indicating the dead creatures, "My sudden entrance disturbed them mightily..."
Tolen moves closer still, her eyes on the large creature roaring at the 'fools'. With a little dance to her step she settles and let's fly...
As Vondal's axe sails of Tolenn's head, she comments in a conversational tone, "Careful where your swinging that...you might hurt someone."
She skids to a stop as she passes the group of people she tried to warn, noting that they weren't taking her advice to flee. "Either you're all fools....or you're confident. Confident fools I can get behind." she drawls, noting the numbers for and against were much better now. She advances toward the fracas about 10 ft, knocking an arrow as she does so. Targetting the 2nd closest humanoid creature, she let's an arrow fly...
Hello, hello.
Thanks, GM
Works for me. Love that scene!
Here's my rogue with the astounding attribute rolls....no fluffy bits. Plus I PM'd you about one of her rogue talents etc. So finalizing her will wait for your ruling on that! Thanks |
