Turn 12 The tunnel of ....

[Zed]

[OOC firstly - nope Barbs cant wear plate. If they do they loose some of their capabilities like fast walk]

You examine the claw marks carefully and determine that what ever made the whole was going into the tunnel. Once inside the passage this is confirmed, and as you head westwards you cannot help but feel like you are following some huge beast.

The tunnel runs straight westwards. It is around the 5ft mark rising and falling a few feet here and there as you follow it.

After an hour or so you have walked straight for a mile or more without any turns or additional passageways. Suddenly ahead a darker pool of blackness gives way as you walk towards it to reveal, in shadows and flickering light a passage or opening in the north wall. However the passage continues westwards...

Actions?

 

[Raving]

Stop Look Listen,

I know my tunnel way code

 

[Kegs]

Thak will follow the will of the group and hopes the rouge is a good one!!

 

[Medivac]

Hmmmmm Bamoin looks cautiously at the dark opening , hoping that his half elven sight will penetrate the dark resesses....... [almost pron]


[ooc : what I want to look out for is signs of someone or something passing in either direction]

 

[Cullhaven]

"hmm dis look like a wyrm hole to me...they very bad places in all de tales I heard about vem. But then - where dere is a wyrm there is always mountains of gold..."

Her face lights up as visions of treasure hoards dance before her eyes. and she sings under her breath:

"'The ringing gold, the glow-red treasure,
The rings will bring you to your death.'
The Hero was unmoved by this:

'For every man in fullness of time
Must descend to his death.' "

 

[Kegs]

"Mountain of gold?" Thak whispers to Siggi, "Many Ales and Wenches and fine scalemail can be bought with a mountain of gold "he grins.

Let us collect this horde or die in battle trying my friend when the time arises.

 

[Kegs]

"Ho! Bamoin" Thak whispers, "What do your Half elf eyes see?" He peers into the gloom towards him.

 

[Medivac]

[ooc : don't know m8ty think he's on holiday or working hard ]


Bamoin peers a little harder in the hope of getting some kind of information ..........

 

[Entropy]

Arak comes out of the daze he's been in for the past several hours, and starts waving his fingers to detect for magic

[ooc sorry, finally got to a proper internet connection ]

 

[Zed]

[Back from Malaga tonight. Next turn goes out Thursday or friday but i really need an indication of plans - do you want to check north or continue west?

ill post out what you see/hear though to give you a better chance]

 

[Kaerwek]

(ooc: Any scratches or telltale marks of a lair entrance or similar? If not, I say we go into the intersecting tunnel (i.e. north))

Kaers

P.S. Generally I dislike leaving possible hostile creatures behind me, and I like exploring

 

[Zed]

it definately looks like it was carved by whatever carved the tunnel you have been following..

 

[Cullhaven]

"Cant we scout each one a liddle way? "

(OOC: I cant remember if Barbs can scout or not - if anyone has a pdf of the players guide I wouldnt mind a copy and I know Kegs would too.)

 

[Zeus]

(ooc: not that i'm playing, but am i right in thinking that the creature your following has dug this entire tunnel? if so, i'd guess it to be quite large... so there probly isnt much chance of it quietly sneaking up on you... although it might be able to come through a wall at you )

 

[Raving]

Knok thinks aloud that what ever made these tunnels can move a lot quicker along them than we can, annd if we are caught in them and fail to stop it we will be jus a red smear on the walls and floor.

And still keeps a very open eye out

 

[Medivac]

I think we will head into the dark passage

 

[Cullhaven]

"Does any of you finger twiddl... er... CunningMen have any magics that can see waht went here?"

 

[Entropy]

"The realms of magic are both mystical and mysterious. Question not the powers of the clairvoyant, lest ye be struck down by knowledge of a fate concluded all too soon."

 

[Kegs]

Thak scratches his head, "Huh?" he looks to his brother. Thak will follow the will of the group.

 

[Kaerwek]

Belwar starts chatting enthustiacally... "Oohhh I like reptiles, especially if they've got wings. They're nice to study, never had any proper chance to do so at close distance but I've read about them in books. Dragons, I think they're called. Varying in size, beautiful to behold, yet dreadful to meet, sharp claws and even sharper fangs, fabulous digestion... Damn it, I've always wanted to study them closely... I say we go into the dark tunnel!"




Kaers

(ooc: er, exactly how wide and high is this dark tunnel entrance measured in feet anyway?)
