Let's Get This Party Started - IC

Grimrock nods and growls, "I'll go take look". He bows his head and mutters softly as he transforms into a falcon and wings into the air in the direction Mok indicated.

Murni nods at Grimlock and says, "we'll wait right here for you."

You fly up and over the rocks at a relatively safe height. From above, it is obvious that there is/were defenders above in the rocks. There is a series of 4 "blinds" (wooden and leaf-covered), two on either side of the pass, about 40' up the rock face. They wouldn't be immediately noticable from below, and would provide a good field of fire. It looks like both are accessed by ladder from the "up-mountain" side of the ravine - pretty noticable, but not until after the people below would have come under fire from the ambush.

Sigmund · June 07, 2010, 10:36:52 AM

Circling the area of the blinds Grimrock looks for a way to either bypass the ambuch area, or sneak up on the ambushers and turn the tables on them.

Lemme know if/what I need to roll.

Werekoala · June 10, 2010, 09:23:24 AM

Perception roll would be appropriate.

(Sorry for the slow pace, been sick all week - Dro, I sent you and "Mirror Kurt" a note in Skype about the game the other night, did you get it?)

Werekoala · June 14, 2010, 11:09:35 AM

((Waiting for Sig's roll on Perception))

Sigmund · June 14, 2010, 09:17:26 PM

Sorry, been working on a special project for work.

Die roll for Grimrock

Perception roll

You circle the area and notice almost immediately (thanks to the angle of the sunlight at this time of day (nice roll)) that there is a series of natural rock outcrops that you could climb from your side of the pass that would put you "over" the ambush site on the down-slope side. You could likely either make your way past the ambush and back down onto the path further up-slope, or attack them, your choice. If you choose attack, it would only be on one side of the pass, of course. The up-slope side seems to be inaccessible except via ladder.

((If you need a graphic I can whip up a map when I get home))

Sigmund · June 16, 2010, 08:18:52 AM

Grimrock circles once more to take a good look and fix the details in his memory and then glides back down to Murni's position. After landing he releases the energy tieing him to the falcon's form and chuckles as he bends down and grabs a handful of dirt. "Love doing that.", he growls, "Found a path up and over, past the ambush." He rubs the dirt between his hands and then adjusts his pack and leans on his stick as he eyes the others.

Drohem · June 17, 2010, 02:03:38 PM

Murni chuckles as well and says, "yeah, that does come in handy. Let's get to climbing then."

He turns to face Mok and says in a more serious tone of voice, "you're free to go, as I promised."

Werekoala · June 21, 2010, 09:57:04 AM

Mok looks at you, then to Grimrock, then back to you. He scratches his head.

Well, see, its like this. I'm not much liking the new boss, right? And his hobbos are pretty mean to us goblins. If I came back all alone, they'd be like "What are ya a coward" and stuff, right? So, yeah, they'd probably do things to me, you know, question me and stuff but not really, so, if you're going to do something to them and their boss, right, I might kinda hang back with you a bit, yeah?"

He smiles, or whatever goblins do that could be called smiling.

Drohem · June 22, 2010, 02:19:45 AM

Murni looks Mok in the eye for a moment before saying slowly, yet genuinely, "you can come with us. Fight with us and I will see you as an equal."

"What do you think?" Murni asks Grimrock.

Sigmund · June 23, 2010, 11:38:50 PM

Grimrock narrows his eyes as he glares at Mok for a minute, then grunts, "I think he's better off stayin' with us, but I'll be keepin' an eye on him."

Werekoala · June 24, 2010, 04:23:14 PM

Mok seems pleased "Yes sirs, I'll be square with you, right, so no worries!"

Sizing up the cliff, it doesn't appear to be too tricky - you both have some experience climbing, and it looks like maybe this particular route has been used in the past.

((Climb check please, just to keep it official))
