Chapter 03: Minn's Mound
Re: Chapter 03: Minn's Mound
Thanks GW. The image code has to come first in the description, otherwise it won't work. That's what puzzled me at first. Now Thorelf's character sheet has his picture on it ![Smile :)](https://www.unseenservant.us/forum/images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Re: Chapter 03: Minn's Mound
Thorelf places himself closer to Ox, who is currently searching the wall section at L1, (while hatching plans to go outside).
Ox definitely works out that there is no secret door on the L1 wall. Norbold rolls his eyes at all this, sneeringly commenting "ooooooh, hoping for a reward, are you?" - then suddenly holds a piece of his lunch to the flame of Thorelf's torch. It looks like his old Ansgar's Autopathy is resurfacing again....
Korin has seen it all happen before, so after fortifying himself with some good dwarven grub, he leaves the mouldy antechamber, goes through the narrow, slightly downward-sloping entrance tunnel and exits the mound. He walks 40' eastwards along the bank and plonks himself outside the next unexplored opening in the mound, standing by for the others, who are all still inside the antechamber - although Ox has now also begun walking towards the exit, with Thorelf in tow.

Korin "Thorelf might wanna tie yer horse up were we left ours." the dwarf points off where they hid & tied off their horses.

Re: Chapter 03: Minn's Mound
Thorelf ties up his horse among the other horses and joins up with the rest of the gang outside opening three, stick in one hand, lit torch in the other.
"Boys... *looks at his team members one by one* let's do this."
With that he moves towards the entrance and tries to get a look at the inside.

Re: Chapter 03: Minn's Mound
no-one can see any horses at the place on the other side of the river towards which Korin is pointing. But that area is, after all, quite overgrown with many trees, which may explain why the horses aren't visible from this side of the river.Korin"Thorelf might wanna tie yer horse up were we left ours." the dwarf points off where they hid & tied off their horses.
Re: Chapter 03: Minn's Mound
Thorelf asks Korin to lead him and his horse to the spot where the other horses are tied, before entering the next entrance. If they find the horses, Thorelf ties his horse among the others and returns to the next entrance.

Re: Chapter 03: Minn's Mound
just to clarify Korin was just pointing in a general direction not pointing directly at horses that were visible, after all that is the point they are well hidden/concealed.Nordbo wrote:no-one can see any horses at the place on the other side of the river towards which Korin is pointing.

Korin nods and takes Thorelf to the spot they hid their horses.

Re: Chapter 03: Minn's Mound
Korin leads Thorelf and his horse into the water and they start heading for the other side. After a few steps, they notice that the river is flowing too strongly - it will be difficult to cross to the other side unaided, without getting swept away. Crossing would best be done using a rope, some raft etc - much like the stuff used for coming over the day before.
Re: Chapter 03: Minn's Mound
"Oh, you tied your horses over on the other side? I came that way." Thorelf points in another direction, away from the river. "Maybe I'll just tie my horse on this side anyway."
If Korin accepts, Thorelf takes his horse back to the openings and ties it just outside, then heads for the next entrance again, stick in one hand, torch in another.

Re: Chapter 03: Minn's Mound
Korin rejoins the other 3 with Thorelf then heads in behind Thorelf to the 3rd entry in the mound.

After having a bite to eat Norbold, isn't feeling so lightheaded and nervous about the symboled floor corridor, now that they are not messing with it currently.

Re: Chapter 03: Minn's Mound
From all the post-lunch posted actions, I make it out that Korin and Thorelf, with Phoenix immediately behind, have moved up to a point outside the next opening to the west (the 'third' opening), ready to enter, while Ox and Norbold are still inside, in the mold-covered antechamber.
Just a recap for your info, there is a 12' long, 5' narrow north-south passage between entrance 2 and the antechamber, meaning: the antechamber does not open directly onto the river bank. Not ultra-critical, just in case you want to note this on the map.

Re: Chapter 03: Minn's Mound
Thorelf moves into the opening until he can se more than is visible from the outside.
"Ox, Norbold, are you coming along? There's a treasure to be found!"
Clarification for game flow purposes: Thorelf moves into the opening as per above regardless of how many team members are behind him![Smile :)](https://www.unseenservant.us/forum/images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
