Quote from: Drohem;748125OOC:  Where did you read that a flute whistle was dropped?  Also, several party members are badly wounded.  Beyla has -5 HPs, Shirl has -5 HPs, and Mergo has -2 HPs.  We need to heal up before we continue forward.  I think that Beyla is out of Heal spells after she healed Mergo.

(OOC - My bad, wrong group...was guards we hit earlier, this is all starting to blend together...will edit post accordingly...

2. Yes we are hurt, can heal either Shirl or Beyla for 2 pnts, tell me who to give it to, also, are we not pressed for time?? can we afford to wait? I was under impression a great child slaughter is about to happen, or did I read that wrong as well???

I bow to you as party leader, your call, just let me know.)

(OOC - Post edited...again, sorry...)

OOC:  LOL, no worries.  I thought one of the brothers was a cleric, but realized he's paladin.  Use his Lay on Hands on Shirl and then we'll move out.

(OOC - Whew, thought I blew it there for a moment...)

Hurmak "Lays his Hand" on Shirl for 2 points of heal...

Foromo and the boys look to Jolly...Foromo saying "What do you want us to do, and how do you want us to do it..."

Jolly says grimly, "if there was a time to use our flaming pots, it's now.  Foromo, Hurtag, and Hurmak will form the front line at first to give the rest us time to ignite and toss our flaming pots.  Then we draw our weapons and kill everyone left standing."

Foromo nods, and with the boys, makes ready...he hands over the pots they still have, bout 3 more by my reckoning...

Cautiously, carefully, you enter the tunnel. After a few meters you see:



The music is amplified somehow in this chamber to a thunder pitch, even drowning out the waterfall in this cavern.

You spot at least one guard...

OOC:  How far away from us is the guard?

OOC- The nearest guard looks to be some 25 feet away, busily working a large forge, just as in the picture. The platform above him connects to 1) a narrow trail that steeply climbs up to a larger trail which in turn branches into two paths; a rope bridge (where a guard is posted) crossing the cavern to a tunnel, and a larger trail which circles the cavern over to a cave entrance, and 2) a wooden ramp circling back and above your tunnel entrance to yet another cave opening.

So, in summery, the party has two guards to contend with, one near and one far. The party has three potential paths, one that circles back behind your current location (the wooden ramp to the cave), the branching path ahead which leads to either the rope bridge spanning the cavern, or the trail that continues on, leading to the cave.

Jolly motions for Foromo, Hurtag, and Hurmak to try and move closer toward the guard working at the forge before they attack him.

Hurtag leads the way...Can we get close enough for the kill???

Creeping up behind the warrior working at the forge you get within 6-8 feet from him and he is still busy at work.

Okay...

Hurtag sneaks up and finishes the job... (OOC - When Appropriate...) Rolls 21  (AC-Any) for 7 pnts dmg...

Hurtag slips up and gives him the knife. He drops with a groan that is buried in the din of both the wailing music and the waterfall's roar. You all crouch down...

The other guard, is there a way to him??

Foromo - you suspect that the easiest way to get at the other guard would be for someone to pull themselves up onto the platform and then up the trail and around the boulder to get to the guard:



But you would have to be pretty sneaky about it...
