[Recap]
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
After Fremea tells Dorhak about
the cave, she will make her way back to the cave.
Before going in, she will make sure her invis is
good and then case levitate on herself (EL1). She
will then move over to the guard, quietly and
quickly knocking him out and making sure he can
not make any noise. She would normally just slit
the throat, but that annoying Arawn get his voice
in her head about this might be an innocent. She
will have to purge that voice later.
GM: Ack.
From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
"Aye!" says Dorhak. "A good idea.
GM: Ack.
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Z'leyra responds to Dorhak "Yes,
I will talk to the horses...
GM: Ack.
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]
"If the guard manages to call
out an alarm I'm prepared to cast a
OOC: Unless told otherwise Arawn
would like to cast the Sleep Mist forward, to
catch the sleeping men before they rouse
themselves (assuming he sees they're in range).
He'll cast at max EL, boosted with Sidh Tongue.
GM: Ack.
From Dorhak: [Re: actions]
"We don’t want to kill the
human. We don’t know they took the
GM: Ack. So that's entire party inside. Cool :)
From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
[OOC: just got new/rebuilt
computer (Win10) & still waiting for the MSOffice
package to come from my brother, so not accessing
documents from old machine at this time, and
writing onto the email instead of the copy/paste
from written records of Game #8.]
Raddok falls into line beside Dorhak, as the dwarf
GM: Ack. Good luck on new pc!
From Pyan: [Re: Actions]
Pyan examines the ceiling of the
cave as they advance through it. No one ever looks at the ceiling.
Archery: Will it EVER be the same again? Wow.
GM: Ack.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Ma 3rd, 1636TH]
[Time: ?:?? am – Unknown]
Fremea gives her report to Dorhak.
"We don’t want to kill the human. We
don’t know they took the book. Besides, we can
always kill later. Make damn sure you keep the
guard quiet, Fremea. Sleep spell might work too, if you have such a thing."
"i want to do this quietly and quickly." Dorhak
looks over to Arawn and Z'leyra and says "can
either of you do something to keep the horses
calm and quiet? I don’t want them running off when we could put them to use."
"I want everyone to remember: they
may not be hostiles. We don’t know yet. Let’s
not take any chances of making enemies we don’t
need to make, but let’s not take chances of getting hurt either."
“We go in afterward, keeping Fremea
in front as long as invisible, followed by
Unali. I’m gonna want Z’leyra and Mournath in
front, Pyandalgor next to track, me and Raddok
next, Arawn and Kiet following up."
"Fremea will have to step back when
she becomes visible since her wing flapping will make noise."
"If the guard manages to call out an
alarm I'm prepared to cast a Sleep Mist into the
chamber ahead," Arawn informed the party.
"Aye!" says Dorhak. "A good idea. Do it!"
Z'leyra responds to Dorhak, "Yes, I
will talk to the horses...they will nicker in
response, but it shouldn't be very loud. I expect
that they will follow any non-violent suggestions I give them."
Raddok falls into line beside Dorhak,
as the dwarf had ordered. He will use both his
mining, underground survival I&II skills to study
the cave, to determine if passages and other
spaces have been created for what appears to
start out as a wide, natural cave, and to look
for possible weaknesses along the cave
ceilings/walls, possible half-hidden narrow side
entries, and signs of water seepage or pooling,
as well as the normal beasties to be found in
caves (bats, spiders & such). Seeing the presence
of the horses, he will quietly offer his Teamster
skills to assist Arawn or whoever to calm/steady
the beasts while in the area. He will sheathe his
mace & move shield to his back, if needed to help
with horses. He finds he is automatically looking
for oatbags, etc to help quiet the horses.
Fremea moves to mouth of the
cave. While talking to Dorhak on her report she
dug in her bags for a flask. Then tips her
dagger blade tip into it. Then places flask back
into her bags. She casts a levitate and using
very minor wing use to gently float toward the guard.
Unali surveys the cave and estimates
that it will be difficult for the group to enter
the cave and not be seen by the guard. If the
guard would be taken out, then things change.
Unali sees or rather hears Fremea fly off and
creeps forward to the rims of the cave and peers in.
The horses seem to be skittish and
disturbed by something. Unali considers throwing
a small stone in their midst might create just
the distraction to the guard she needs to enter unnoticed and get behind him.
As Fremea reaches halfway toward the
guard the horses suddenly skitter and shift from
left to the right toward the guard. They are all
looking down and to the left but not toward
Fremea? At this distance they couldn't have sensed her?
The guard looks the horses and
grunts. Stupid horses. He rolls to his side to
start to stand up when Fremea reaches him. With
deft hands she stabs the dagger into his neck at
the main artery. But its done so fast like a
insect bite. The man grunts and grabs his neck to
inspect the bug and slumps forward. He rolls
onto his back just as he tries to speak but no
words escape. Fremea grins that worked faster
than expected if only she can mass produce that poison.
From the other side Unali slips past
and isn't seen by Fremea. She peers between the
horses and sees the man down, mouth open so
Fremea must've got to him first. She crosses to
the right to peer around the corner.
The others quickly enter. Raddok
quickly discovers the cave is natural and there
are signs of bear past hibernation like flakes of
fur and claw marks on walls.
Z'leyra moves to stop the horses from
trampling the guard and asks them to calm
down. But their excited words seem to indicate they were scared by some snake?
Pyan enters and examines the ceiling
to understand it is a natural cave with
stalactites. But the cave is dry with possible
water erosion being centuries in the past? Pyan
squints and can barely make out clefts and holes
where bats probably live at night. But now none
exist – probably scared by these people. Thea
rocks seem to be limestone and basic
basalts. But nothing fancy so probably means
this is not a worthy mine if it is.
Now with party inside Unali peers
around and sees about 4 others on the ground mats
lying down. There is a single candle half burnt
down flickering. The sleepers are about 12-15 feet away.
Pyan's ears perk up. He has heard
that sound before a snack. A crack. Branches or
limbs breaking. Behind him he turns to the cave
entrance. As Arawn also perks up hearing noises with his keen ears.
Dorhak stares and wonders why they
are now looking at the entrance to cave? Then he
hears a low grade whistle like a bird.
Then flickers of flame appear from
outside! Dorhak curses could they have walked
into a trap? Not leaving a sentry outside? Those flickers look like torches.
Dorhak and Pyan peer outside in
between the bushes that block the entrance. Sure
enough there are a half dozen torches from left
to right side. All inside the thick forest but
one which is in the open. Holding that one torch is a man.
A voice is spoken loud and directed
to the cave it seems. But the language no one
seems to understand. The voice bellows again.
Unali watches as a sleeper stirs to
the voice. If this was a trap why are they sleeping?
Then the voice changes language,
“come out and surrender and we'll allow some of
you to live! You trespass in our lands we are in our rights!”
Raddok looks at Dorhak as Dorhak
realizes the language is Dwarf elder!
Indeed Dorhak peers at the man
holding the torch and realizes he is only 4 or so
feet tall. But if he is a dwarf he is a weird
one as he has no beard! No sane dwarf would be alive without a beard!
Pyan looks at Dorhak for options.
The echoes from outside bounce off
walls of cave. The one stirring raises up this
elbows just as Unali gets near. He doesn't see
her but panics. He shouts out a few words – just
as Unali knocks him out with her dagger.
Unali doesn't understand the
words. But Kiet does as a shiver runs down his
spine. He glances at the paralyzed guard and
goes pale. His eyes, eyebrows, features, chin
and hair. Kiet pales as he realizes the words
'wake up! They've found us!' are in his native Lemasan!
