The Princess "Wow. This place must have been something to see in its heyday. A bustling city of mages. Do you suppose anything is left?" She tightens her coat and looks around at the nearby towers. "Surely it's been picked to the bone by scavengers." The Princess says this, but ...

Bugs

He looks to the others for wilderness advice. "Should we call out now? Gnomes are fine with tight spaces and areas that others avoid. That place looks rather welcoming to me."

Kainaxarthos

"Down it is, then. Good idea with Crestos, Belloc. Hopefully, she finds it empty. Or is the owl male?"

Kain boosts himself back up and sits on the edge, waiting for Crestos to return.

The Princess

The lack of jubilant noises from above suggests that staying below is just as productive, so she will find a place to sit and await the return of the upstairs people.

Cassius

"GORMUNDEL. GET YOUR LIZARDS UNDER CONTROL." Cassius still can't hear over the ringing and tries to yell over it.

Kainaxarthos He nods at Drest then remarks. "Ok. At least the first step is solid. Excellent progress." He looks down into the darkness and sighs. "These are going to be a bear to climb back up. Not a chore to be done while fleeing." Kain pauses. "What's the plan? Are we go...

Cassius Having skewered the two lizards in the hall, he returns to the chamber to continue his reptilian genocide. He immediately spots L2 in combat with Lt. Dan and Sai. Cassius strikes out at the lizard. Initiative: [1d10]=1 Yay! Longsword 1 +1/+4 vs undead (17): [1d20+4]=15+4=19 Longsword 1 Dama...

Kainaxarthos Kain turns around to slowly lower himself onto the step three feet below. Making sure it is really a step and not an illusion. "Thanks for the lights." He pauses when he sees Drest still at the gem. "Drest! Leave it! A lone large gem with no security is a fake and most l...

Bugs "Ok. Which way is up?" Bugs is getting confused with all the up-and-down talk. Left and right are hard enough. At least with those he can use his hands. "I don't think Da would go to a sometimes tower, besides, it's just as far as the keep. I think he swam with the current."

Acme In the moment or so after the shell explodes, Marvin looks at the group and smiles inwardly as they all know what to do without his orders. As the ringing lessens, he calls out orders out of habit. "Roker is exposed. Get back in here while we find who shot him." Acme tries to get a s...

Zuul

"You had him at fight. He would be glad to do so. How do we start?" Zuul looks over at Clark. "They mean the Imperialss, right?"

Kainaxarthos "Don't touch it. With anything." Kain pauses to explain his reasoning. "This place was noticeable from a distance because of the lights. So the Matron and the dwarfs would have seen it, and they both had boats. Therefore, they decided not to come here or take the gem the...

The Princess

She hangs back with Wes, interested in looking at the papers as well.

Bugs He studies the cairn with optimism, trying to figure out how Peppy could have made it. "Maybe he used mossy stones because he was in a hurry." Bugs looks back at the river, trying to determine which way it is flowing. "Did we go downstream? Isn't it easier to swim downstream?&qu...

Kainaxarthos

Kain will follow Drest, eyes peeled for action. "Trust nobody we find. The snake men change shape, right?"

Cassius He continues his attack on the remaining lizard after Zan douses him with the water. Longsword 1 +1/+4 vs undead (17): [1d20+4]=1+4=5 Longsword 2 (17): [1d20+1]=12+1=13 Longsword 2 Damage (sm): [1d8+7]=4+7=11 (L): [1d12+7]=2+7=9 Longsword 2 (17): [1d20+1]=15+1=16 Longsword 2 Damage (sm): [1...

Bugs

He nods in agreement, quiet with concern about his Da. Bugs starts looking around for signs of foot traffic.

Bugs Bugs does his best to catch Keya up on the gnoll deal along with Haldric. "Yeah. Gyb made a deal that a group of us would meet the gnolls at the caves in five days. Or nights. I think. Then we would all attack the unremarkable dead. Like Haldric says, it was a pretty good deal at the time...

The Princess

"Yes. Let's check out upstairs before we expand outwards. Quietly, I think."

She points at the papers. "If we find any writings of interest, let's go upstairs to discuss." She glances at the portal. "It may be more private."

Kainaxarthos "Good, good. Let's hurry along then." Kain nods at Cyril, understanding the sensation he feels. "Nice to meet your Skavi, Magda. Sometimes I envy the companionship the arcane arts provide. And then I go do foolish things." He is eager to get away from the structure ...
