[IC] Toward the Halls of the Nameless One

Quobbles mutters through his own rag.

"It's a good idea, but there's always the chance it's a creature or spirit of flame, in which case waiting will only get us smothered. Someone else take this hobgoblin and I'll scout ahead. I won't be spotted in this miasma."

Ari grunts an affirmative and pulls the Hobgoblin over to him, "Just keep your trap shut!", he hisses.

Quobbles creeps off into the smoke, spear at the ready.

As you move further into the corridor the smoke grows thicker. However you can begin to see the outline of several figures in a large room at the end of the hallway, the smoke seems to be coming from some sort of pyre. You can hear an agitated conversation over the crackling of wood and the roar of the fire.

Ari works hard to surpress a cough.

AndrewSFTSN · November 22, 2013, 03:25:54 AM

Quobbles creeps closer,crawling on his belly if necessary, until he can make out some of the words of the conversation.

Ari waits for something to happen.

OOC:

Sorry for the delay guys the last few days we have been expecting a baby and things have been nuts getting ready for him. My son was born this morning at 6 so give me another day or so to get home from the hospital and set up and then I will get this moving again.

Lying on the floor with a damp rag over his mouth, Father Donovan Nevalaps waits anxiously with Charlie, Brogar, Aiden, Ari, and their captive hobgoblin while Quobbles scouts ahead under the thick waves of black smoke that are billowing over their heads in corridor.

He quietly readies his mace and shield as he silently offers a prayer to Ouro, give us the strength to restore order to this forsaken place and bring the humanoids and Black Circle cultists to justice!

pbj44 · December 17, 2013, 02:55:08 PM

Ari glances nervously back at Father Donovan, "Whats taking so long???"

He then shakes the Hobgoblin and hisses, "Shut up that whimpering!!"

pbj44 · December 26, 2013, 12:22:33 PM

Sweating, Ari glances at Brogar, "Can you see anything?"

Arkansan · January 23, 2014, 01:37:25 PM

As Quobbles creeps closer he can begin to make out snatches of conversation. An arugment, gruff voices and softer ones, someone berating the gruff sounding figures for building the fire too large. Some of the figures may be hobgoblins by the shape of them, the others appear to be robed. You can't be sure but the smoke smells different as you get closer, almost putrid.

Ooc: sorry for the massive delay guys, I am back this time, ended up changing jobs, losing my internet connection due to my landlord being a jerk, and a few personal emergencies on top of that but things are settled for the moment.

pbj44 · January 23, 2014, 09:43:44 PM

Ari waits impatiently for Quobbles return.

Ooc: Good to have you back!

AndrewSFTSN · January 28, 2014, 02:28:23 PM

Quobbles creeps ever closer to the fire.

If it looks obviously built too large, and unstable, he will attempt to put the butt of his spear against the end of a load-bearing flaming log, and shove, fleeing as quietly as possible in the chaos as it starts to topple.

If it looks fairly stable, he will simply return to the group and report his findings.

Arkansan · January 29, 2014, 12:33:48 AM

The pyre seems to be rather shoddily constructed and while not minuscule not exactly average size either. With a bit of effort it might in fact be made to go tumbling.
