Theglid won't take any items, he's encumbered enough. If Carling had any money, it should probably be split up.

If we're going to do this, I think the "let them close and then attack" plan sounds good.

Theglid will get ready to draw his mace (assuming he's already holding his shield).

Ugh okay well I'm not fighting twelve bandits. Give them Carling's things?

I just got an email saying the Blueholme Journeymanne rules PDF was updated. Not sure if it's just minor clean-up or if there's rules changes, but I'm about to go download it.

Theglid

Theglid will say a few words over the body, commending his soul to St Ygg for protection.

Okay let's get back to town.

Theglid

Fane, you climb up first and ready your crossbow. I will go last.

I just noticed you said that Theglid was pulling food from Carling's pack. That "he" in my original post was ambiguous, sorry. What I meant was Theglid was going to cover Betdas while Betdas grabs the food and attempts to distract the beetle. So basically Theglid is just standing there de...

Theglid Pretty sure it's time to get out of here. Theglid will head south out of this hallway, ready to stand by Betdas as he tries to buy the beetle off with some food. He will also set down his torch and hold his shield in that hand (mace in right hand, shield in left). Hopefully this works, beca...

Theglid

Theglid continues to forcefully brandish his holy symbol.

Back, I said! St Ygg commands you!

(another turning check. If this doesn't work, I think it might be time to smack it )

Theglid

Theglid presents his holy symbol and says to the skeletons, In the name of St Ygg, I order you BACK!

(turn undead check, you can roll for me)

Theglid

Theglid will use that time to search for what could have triggered that door. Using the torchlight, he scans the area for any switches, tripwires, plates, etc.

Theglid

He will follow Betdas if we are turning north. Might as well check this out first before going down a long hallway full of doors and turns.

Theglid Theglid picks up the torch, and readies his mace in the other hand. He nods his assent to Betdas. Let's move carefully. Something tells me many of the bones here are recent additions. Marching order from earlier in the thread: "Carling suggests we scout in the following order Wick and ...

Theglid

Theglid sees Wick's motions and decides to go down the rope. He will use Carling's spiked/looped rope, rather than the original rope attached to the rickety tripod.

Theglid

Theglid nods at Wick and Betdas. I can spare a torch.

He drops his torch down the hole, but takes another one from his pack first, in case it goes out when it hits the ground... Or in case the hole has no bottom.

Theglid will cautiously enter the chamber and sweep the torch to try and illuminate anything that might be waiting to attack Wick.

Theglid I agree with Betdas. Boldar, hide yourself just inside this entrance. We'll enter the tomb, but will not go too far without coming back for you. I can carry the torch. If we are proceeding, Theglid lights one of his torches, and holds his mace in the other hand. He is good with the suggested...

Well then, I suggest we use the time and see what we can accomplish.

I vote we move at normal speed to whichever barrow we want to enter, then switch to exploring speed at the entrance/inside. What does everyone else think?

Agreed. Why waste time sifting through the remnants of other expeditions? Perhaps we should investigate the entry to this tumulus (10) for any clues as to its occupants? Theglid turns to Boldar. Sir, how long to you plan to remain in the field today? I trust we had better leave this place long befo...
