Chapter #5: Adventure #5 The Hermit's Riddle

[ravenn4544]

Asad exclaims “then what are we waiting for?” He proceeds to the next cave and peers inside. He looks for any tracks that offer a clue as to possible inhabitants.

Benham Iskandar

The sha'ir will look to see if any tracks lead toward the other caves as he sends Jafar for another spell. Can you bring back a Web spell for me, Jafar?

The efreetkin shrugs before disappearing.

[Dram]

Anuzal- I can go scout ahead looking for danger. Which cave is closest? Rashad could your genie point the way to the closest cave. Moves to the woodline towards the closest cave.

[GreyWolfVT]

Rashad looks puzzled "I've no genie I'm no Sha'ir Anuzal. However the next cave is right there." he poi nts at the second cave not 30' ahead from the cave they currently stand in/in front of.

Anuzal - I meant Jamal.

[Monsieur Rose]

Dubb

"Let's move on to the next cave. I think it's likely there are more dangers ahead. Tread carefully."

Dubb looks at the gathered group. "If we have to deal with more of these beasts, maybe we should consider arming some of our better fighters with weapons that can hurt. I can offer my shield, as it seemed to wound the creature."

Cave # 2

This cave appears to be empty save for the large pile of human bones, belonging to the unfortunate travelers sent to deliver Mahara’s food. In the pile of bones you do see some glimmering things 272 gp and a garnet scattered among the bones. It appears the creature that inhabits this cave is not at home currently.

Actions?

[ravenn4544]

Asad looks at the loot greedily"Some one grab that. I'll search" He searches for any other doors or exits.

[GreyWolfVT]

Searching reveals again no corridors doors or passages just a simple cave that apparently animals or werehyenas live in.

[Cwreando]

Abrex

Abrex moves with the party and if no one else gets the coins will grab it up so it's at least secured for the group.

Abrex says, "If someone wants to secure the loot go ahead. If not, I will. Let's finish searching and keep moving. Stay Alert."

Abrex keeps his sword and shield ready and his head on a swivel.

[ravenn4544]

Asad grunts in acknowledgement that no other enemies wait to be defeated in this cave. He moves to the next one sword in hand.

[Dram]

Anuzal leads the way to the next cave. Weapons ready.

[Bluehorse]

Emma

Retrieves both her blades and hearing Dub's logic she offers up the small but magical Jambaya should someone want to borrow it against similar situation as the werehyena. Someone less clumsy should take this for now, but I want it back when we are done. I don't like being unarmed... despite having this old one.

[Storm11]

Jamal sores into the sky (well slowly levitates at the rate of a stair lift) to observe the whole bake below for any clues whilst Alara is off scouting out another levitate spell

[GreyWolfVT]

Cave #3: More Werehyena's

The 3rd cave is hidden at the end of the valley behind three large boulders. The cave appears bare at first glance, except for humanoid and goat bones scattered about. Then the group notices a female human near one of the boulders she is attractive and has a soothing, melodic voice. "Oh fate smiles upon me adventurers have come to save me from those terrible hyenas." she says. She acts very upset "Oh but wont you come help me my brother and nephew are trapped by those terrible beasts follow me I'll lead you to them. You'll help me wont you?" that soothing melodic voice has everyone ready to go help her.

I'll need reaction rolls for everyone should just be a CHA d20 roll plus whatever reaction adjustment you have.

[Cwreando]

Abrex

Abrex pauses for a second but losses his wits.

[ravenn4544]

Asad notices the women and her beauty. He lowers his sword and approaches with a smile. "Well, well, well.. Fair Maiden. You seem to be in need of some mighty company! Fear not! Fate has sent me to you!"

[Zeromancer]

After securing the valuables from the second cave, Ameer traveled with the rest of the group to the next one. So far they had not found any sign of this hermit, and the scholar began to wonder if he hadn't fallen victim to an attack himself. Perhaps his bones were among those they had seen strewn about one of the two caves they had already searched. When he happened upon the woman, Ameer was immediately suspicious. The werehyena they had encountered had proven to be frightfully aggressive, yet this rather unremarkable woman appeared to be no worse for wear.

"Asad, hold." he commanded, as he saw the mercenary plod forward.

Wisdom Check [1d20] = 10 (comfortably under)

Ameer then noticed Abrex moving forward, glanced at Asad again, and back to Abrex one last time. "We have to restrain him." he said to Asad.

[Scott308]

Benham Iskandar

You are lucky you haven't been hurt. Now let's go rescue the others.

Wisdom Check (10): [1d20] = 11
Just missed.

[Dram]

Anuzal- Seeing the beautiful lady in need of aid. Could this lady be the one we heard last night?
