Ch. 3: Hell's Bells

[Rusty Tincanne]

I believe we've only found one location large enough to fit Risdac so far. Shall we head back there? We can tell Arex the sorts of things we have seen so far.

[Cwreando]

Arex

Arex says, "Lead the way......Information is power my friend and I need all the information I can get.....especially considering where we are..."

[Zhym]

Malibran heals Odilo (+20 HP) and a newcomer appears from out of nowhere. You greet him with only a little suspicion—a person appearing from thin air is far from the weirdest thing you've seen today.

The conversation turns to plans for rest and recuperation—and locations for same.

Back beyond the door from the ape room, Rool coalesces back into solid form.

Malibran welcomes Rool back, "Master shadow returns! Anything of import in the room beyond? We should consider finding a place to secure and recover our strength and bring our new comrade up to speed!"

[Zhym]

Rool is not back yet. He is in a dark room past the door from the ape room. The rest of you are roughly 100' away in the corridor leading north from the big room.

[Norjax]

Rool Diov, Shadowmeister

The crime boss senses his body form returning from gaseousness until his feet are firmly planted on the floor. He makes his way to the door and feels around for a bar or lock, then tries to open it.

[Urson]

Tanner

Not trusting much of anything about this place, Tanner paces the area, prepared to defend the group.

[Scott308]

Risdac Egargi

Hmm. Just doing a quick headcount here, it appears we are one short. Did something happen to Rool? Why did he not return with the rest of you?

[Zhym]

Risdac wonders why Rool isn't with the group.

Away, in another room, things happen.

The stones of the ship creak. Far off in the distance, you hear the vague moans and screams that form the sonic backdrop of this horrible place.

Norjax, please check your private forum.

[Rusty Tincanne]

Odillo looks at the others, a worried expression on his face. Maybe we should go check on our friend first.

[Urson]

Tanner

Definitely. We're in enough danger as a crew. We don't need to leave a man behind to be... whatever.

[ravenn4544]

Malibran nods "We leave no one beyond...Do we know where he is or do we wait a little longer?"

[Scott308]

Risdac Egargi

If you know where he is, we should go. You should all go, anyway. Is there room for me? If not, I'll stay down below again.

[Zhym]

Odilo suggests going back to check on Rool. Tanner agrees that you should not leave him behind. Malibran concurs, but wonders if the group knows where Rool is or should wait a little longer. Risdac tells everyone that they should go, even if he himself is too giant to go with them.

But no one actually goes anywhere yet.

Dice roll.

[Rusty Tincanne]

Zhym, I'm still wondering if Odillo needs to rest before gaining any spells, or if he remembers the remainder of his spells from pre-death. Odillo will stay behind with Risdac if he is without spells.

[Zhym]

Oh, sorry. I'll say Odilo still has his spells.

[Rusty Tincanne]

Oh. He would have led the way already.

Odillo struggles to his feet. Come on then. He asks for a boost up to the ledge.

[Urson]

Tanner

The cranky old warrior joins Odillo.

[Zhym]

This may be too nitpicky (or I may have forgotten an important detail), but how are you getting back up to the ledge that's about 35' above you (IIRC)?

[Rex]

Xale

"Risdac can you lift me high enough so I can grab the edge of the ledge?"
