Re: Action Thread
The party is standing before the moathouse, with the drawbridge down. Let me know how the party proceeds. (including going in, exploreing some more, or heading back to town to discuss the issues with the townsfolk.

Re: Action Thread
Eichar will inspect the drawbridge and the area immediately in front of it. Does it look like anything human or otherwise has passed by?
Re: Action Thread
Vax moves up quietly to stand next to Eichar and will keep a sharp eye and ear out on the courtyard beyond the drawbridge; his sling readied with another bullet; just in case something came out towards them....
"See any tracks?", he asks the man in a quiet tone...

Re: Action Thread
Fendor, the elf ranger/cleric, will join Eichar, adding, "I noticed earlier tracks of human folk, maybe the signs of four or more. It had appeared that the main gate is where tracks entered or left, most going to the east and only a few towards Hommlet. It seemed that someone or something had occasionally been keeping an eye on the moathouse, kind of like what we were doing at the time. Any idea what lies to the east?acererak wrote:Eichar will inspect the drawbridge and the area immediately in front of it. Does it look like anything human or otherwise has passed by?
[OOC: Would any of us know of any interesting markers, towns, or places of interest to the east within say a couple days march?]
The cleric/ranger seems not to know how gracefully to end his verbalized thought and continues, "You can't be too cautious here, I say. Those frogs were unexpected. If I were a betting man - err, betting elf - I would figure on a kobold ambush, seeing the broken walls and rubble.

Re: Action Thread
You do see footprints coming in and out, there is a courtyard inside,
you see a few things of note.
The chains to the drawbridge are broken, there is no way to raise it.
The actual bridge is in ratty shape, there is planks over the wood, and the gates are battered open. Whoever was here before had one heck of a battle.

Re: Action Thread
Vicroar will attempt to retrieve any serviceable arrows from dead frogs.
Re: Action Thread
Eichar, figuring he is light without armor on, will cross the drawbridge doing his best not to make noise. He motions to the others to cover him as he crosses. If he successfully crosses he will peer into the courtyard utilizing any concealment that available to shield himself.

Re: Action Thread
Fendor waits just before the makeshift planks over the drawbridge ready to charge to Eichar's side - if necessary - or to cautiously attempt the crossing if waved forward.
Re: Action Thread
Keeping his loaded sling in his right hand, Vax pulls out his mace and holds it in his offhand and whisperes to Eichar. "Stick to the planks friend Eichar....I feel they must have been placed there for a reason."
With that, he too cautiously waits to see if anything reacts to his companion's crossing....

Re: Action Thread
you find ...2 arrows that are useable.
Eichar
You see a courtyard, there are bootprints leading to some stairs. There is a tower next to the courtyard, and stairs leading up. you would have to go into the courtyard to see more.
The rest of the party.
Eichar carefully walks to the doors. He is not attacked at this time.

Re: Action Thread
If Eichar gives a wave forward, Fendor will cautiously cross over the the drawbridge on the location of the planks and provide another set of eyes to checking things out.

Re: Action Thread
Vicroar, having retrieved 2 arrows, will slide quickly and quietly across, arrow nocked, to join Fendor, Nalin & Eichar. Once there, he'll glance at the interior, then find a spot behind Fendor against the wall aside of the opening, fixing his gaze to the rear. Frogs gave him the creeps, and he wants no more surprises from outside. Already we have 3 pairs of eyes looking inside.
Re: Action Thread
Cerun drifts calmly across the decrepit drawbridge, keeping to the planks as the others before him. Glancing about, he searches for indications of what inhabitants might be dwelling within the structure -- aside from the bootprints, that is.

Re: Action Thread
Vax followed his companions; sling and mace in hand; alertly keeping his eyes and ears open for any signs or sounds of danger...

Re: Action Thread
The party sees stairs to the North East, and to the South west is a old tower. The courtyard is about 60x60. You can see footprints going up and down the stairs.

Re: Action Thread
Fendor will use his ranger skills to study the tracks.
OOC: did they seem similar to the human tracks of at least four persons that he saw before?
