Maag

"Not magic? Yer sure?" Maag eyes the box again. "Maybe I will 'ave a look at it den. But not right now. Right now I am too knackered to mess wiv it".

Hake Hake sees the warning from Moriartus, then observes the lack of reaction from Jorly, Raven and Dougal. Noting their stillness and sudden fascination, he raises his shield to block his eyeline. Next Hake looks to the side and rear for any sizable tree to take shelter behind. "Shield your e...

Maag Maag looks at the platinum coffer from several angles, looking for any kind of lock. "I 'ave a very particular set of skills dat would be of use in openin' dis box. 'owever, der first step in der process is determinin' if it is trapped". " 'avin' observed der box an' noted dat i...

Exactly!

Gyb

Gyb is now more confused. Peppy seems to be who he says he is. But the mouse is strange. Very strange.

Maag Maag stares at the brothers for a few moments. Still outwardly calm, he calculates if he should rip off Grimble's arms and strangle Grumble with them, or the other way around. Then Maag bursts out laughing. "Rip you off?!!! , he says. " 'You are jokin', right? 'ave you actually paid ...

Wes

"Here." Wes uncoils his rope and begins to pass it forward. He stays at the rear to belay the others

Wes doesn't step onto the icy bridge. He braces himself against the end of the bridge wall, getting ready to jam his feet against it if folks start to slide.

Wes "Strange", says Wes. "I thought there would be some creature around here". "It makes me think there's something around here scaring them off. I don't think the dragon is coming out here to snack on a hare or a fox. So I'm thinking there's something bigger or more threat...

Hello and welcome, Kruk!

Gyb

Gyb frowns. "Gyb heard a roar. Gyb is sure".

"Thirty years is lots of time to talk about. Gyb thinks the Keep would be the best place for talking. Nothing in the Keep is roaring."

Gyb takes a few more steps back, hoping this will encourage everyone to follow.

Maag "Der is no point in shoutin' about stuff", says Maag. "We will just end up standin' ere in ten minutes wiv nuthin' solved". "Maybe it is sumfin' simple. When we came in 'ere der first time, der was a star pattern. Den when we came back, it 'ad changed to der controls. ...

Gyb

Gyb stands a bit further back. (slightly more suspicious - Int 8 ) "Gnome-father. A strange place to run. Danger here more than gnolls, yes?"

Good luck!

Maag Maag looks at the void and frowns. Then he turns to the others and says "Yer know, 'e is pretty smart, even for a pointy 'ead. 'e 'as probably got a plan for dis. When we woz out on der island wiv der minotaurs an' der killer trees, 'e even managed to wander round on 'is own wivvout getti...

Hake

Hake watches, curious about the inhabitants. The scene seems peaceful enough, but the warning from Moriartus makes the hair on the back of his neck stand up.

He looks around for a place to take cover should the ravens swoop to attack.

Maag Maag presumes he's safely outside the vault. He waits with a coil of rope in his hand. If anyone is desperately lunging for the exit but looking like they might not make it, he throws them a lifeline and pulls hard on it. Sorry. Thought I'd posted a "Maag stands there and doesn't do much&...

Wes Wes raises his eyebrows. "I hadn't considered that the king may be playing us falsely". "As for the bridge, I see two problems: firstly, it might be trapped or just in poor condition. Tlatchga and I both have gifts of magic that can Detect Snares and such. That ought to help at l...

Gyb

Gyb takes a few steps back and raises his javelin. "Something pretending to be the gnome-father? Or the gnome-father has magic?" He looks at Bugs for confirmation.

Wes

"You know," says Wes, "The Shalm has given me the gift to Predict Weather. I don't think I'll be using that gift today".

He turns to Tlachtga. "I don't know about you, but I'm beginning to miss the sight of trees".
