That might be better than having to fight the whole group, killing more possibly charmed innocents.
I like this idea, worth a try. Or breaking a window... I would really rather just continue and hope for the best, too.

I posted under the impression that the potions would be used to revive the wounded.

Bo will help carry them if that is not the case.

Nah, I was pretty convinced that nothing good was going to happen either, but I was hoping it couldn't go to much more wrong though. ;)

Yup. On it!
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.

I was betting on the healing potion side. Inferno seemed to hint at it pretty hard, saying that looked like healing potions then giving us a reason why an evil priest would have healing potions. :)

AleBelly's been traveling.
And his latest orders for Pelias encompassed two rounds of action (heal Urdur, and follow Grothnak).
So I will move things along. Thanks. :)

I don't like the quiet and how we are spreading ourselves out!
Hopefully we aren't playing into the DMs hands. :D

FYI, this is my absolute favorite race ability I think. Whenever I go the gnome Ill/Th route, it's one I try to use as often as possible, often to great effect!

"...they can also communicate with any burrowing mammal."

I never even noticed that. Yeah, that's a pretty cool ability.

My next character may be a gnome assassin/illusionist if the DM will allow it.

OOC: Is there a window in this room?
Room 14 has large stained glass windows, as per here:
The torture chamber is candlelit and empty of human life. There are large stained glass windows, luminous from the full moon, and two shut wooden doors that lead from this grisly, hellish spectacle.
Room 17 has high, small windows, too small to fit a human.

People say that it is good to get back to your roots every now and again. :D

So, I will soon be making my annual pilgrimage down to the promised land in Lake Geneva Wisconsin.The very place where every one of these games that we all love so much originated.

That's right.......it is time once again for GARYCON!!!

I will still post if and when I get the time, but my usual rate will be considerably less than normal for the next 5 days or so.

I will be back once the excitement (and the brainfuzz from all the Spotted Cow) wears off. :lol:

Moved this to the OOC thread:

He doesn't think it's moved in the seconds that he's observed it. But it's hard to be certain. The flickering candlelight makes the shadows jump with a life of their own.

Goblin room 15 is empty? I'm hoping it is. We don't need more enemies at this point. :)

It's empty. Will fix my post to clarify that.

This must be the bunk room of the goblins that were killed in the bell tower stairwell.

It looks like Grothnak entered a room that is access via secret door. This might be a good place to hole up against the townsfolk, who I doubt know of its location. We might also want to break a window (if there is one) to suggest we escaped that way.
