Highway to hell

[Alethan]

Cilian whispers, "If anyone has any oil, I suggest you get it out. Now."

[Rhonon]

Don`t look at me, I don`t have any. I suggest calm retreat and better preparations... says Osric and backs up slowly, concentrated on his feet, to make as few noise as possible.

[rredmond]

Nope, just my sword and dagger, says Tub, and I'll keep them out for now.

wp are they all around us, just in front, or just in the alcoves?

[ravenn4544]

Sorry for delay - had to travel unexpectedly

[1d20] = 7

[ravenn4544]

"It's just a bunch of fuckin' rats - no sense in getting in a bind over that, eh? we'll step on 'em if they get to annoying!"

[wolfpack]

you only see the ones in the alcove near you in the torch light. shadows are moving on the outskirts of the light all around.

[Argennian]

Whilst his companions debate the apparently looming rodent menace, Viktor sets down his bow and removes his pack to dig out another torch & his only vial of lamp oil. Once done, he'll quickly put his pack back on, sling his bow and light his torch from Cilian's torch.

"What's our play then, guys? We moving back to the stairs?" he asks nervously.



OOC: sorry for the lateness, Wolf & team. Work went ballistic again & I got hit with another nat 20!

Q: who has the other lit torch here, other than Cilian? Thought it was Scythius in the lead, or maybe Serg? Dose anyone else have a light source other than the torches?

[Rhonon]

I am nearly out of spells. Maybe we should find a place to rest soon but I'd like to know how big this gravethingy is. How about you other guys?
says Osric...

[ravenn4544]

Confirming Scy has a torch lit (not sure how long left).

"If we rest, we'll need to go way back to daylight as our torch supply I don't think will last for that long - or if we can even start a fire down here with the corpse-leavings in this crypt.."

[Rhonon]

Maybe on the base of the stairs is enough space for the smoke of a fire. I could try to put a lightspell on a few Stones or stuff. It could maybe work as lightsource then, which we are going to need anyways...

[Argennian]

"Let's fall back then, lads," Viktor iterates as he begins backtracking towards the stone stairs.

The young churl-deputy keeps his vial of lamp oil and lit torch to hand and ready for immediate deployment, and is careful to move ever so slowly, so as not to accidentally entice a reaction of the negative sort from the verminous rodent hordes apparently gathering.

[Alethan]

Cilian cautiously retreats with the others.

[wolfpack]

The party returns to the base of the stairs the squeaking of the rats left in their wake.

[Rhonon]

That was a lang way down, lads... Say an exhausted Osric. The priest of Thor sinks in deep meditation and conversation with the god of thunder.

[wolfpack]

Are you going to bed down for the night?

[Rhonon]

That would be a good idea, regarding spells and healing...

[Argennian]

OOC: is resting here to give Osric a chance to re-up his spells cool with everyone? If so, should he cast any remaining CLW spells on the most injured of the party before praying for more?

Wolf: confirming that the rats did not follow us back to the stair?

[Alethan]

OOC: My only concern is light. We are very low on light sources. Honestly, we're low on everything - we came pretty poorly prepared.

[Rhonon]

He actually IS out of spells but he could bring a lightspell on stuff after the rest. We would have light for 8 Turns then.

Honestly, not sure that's nearly long enough...
