Delsenora

"I do not mind resting for my prayer to Eilistraee. However I would like to point out that when I

pray, I usually dance in a meadow, under the stars. It is usually around midnight when I do so. I am unsure

as to what will happen if I pray to the Dancing Lady right now but am willing to give it a shot."

Resting, Planning & Prayers

Having come up with a plan of sorts for the remaining room the group clears the ferret trainers room moving the dead orc body. The ferret remains in it's cage for a while after an hour or so it comes out acting confused, and a bit timid seeing the other ferret it comes over and tries to "make friends" after a little while Delsenora's ferret begins to play with the other ferret it is then that you notice it is indeed a male ferret of the giant variety. The rest of the time goes uneventful in the way of patrols or unexpected encounters. Delsenora finds that even in the confines of a cavern dungeon her prayers are heard and answered. Weston too finds that his prayers are answered and he is able to get his healing spells. Everyone feels like their wounds are not as bad as before the rest others find they have been able to recover spells and energy for those that are not arcane or divine spell casting types. Having rested up the group makes way back to the northern hallway where they come to the corner that turns and goes west to the final door they have been able to locate. Having hopes the captured priest is in that room they decide how best to proceed forward with their "plan". Haribal remains in the rear of the march and tries his best to stay out of the way but help where his skills are able to.

Actions?

Delsenora casts another Aminal Friendship spell!

Urtesi

After healing, resting, praying and having a quick bite from the rations, Urtesi resumes his position in the marching order, as the party approaches the end of the corridor. The priest offers his mirror again to the thieves scouts, in case it is possible to use it. He backs off a bit again and stays quiet, so that noises from the other side of the door (if there are any) could be heard easier.

Edit: haha I don't have any rations. Trade for rations anyone?

Delsenora


Delesenora will gladly share any rations she has with anyone who wants some. (She has a lot actuallly on purpose for just such an occurence)

Egon

"I have 6 days of rations left (just ate 1 ), so if anyone needs any I have no issue sharing."

Delsenora

"If anyone else needs healing I have one healing spell available."

Elanriel

Elanriel has nearly as many rations as Delsenora but will happily share a meal with her new-found Drow friend before returning to her place at the rear of the marching order.

Before doing so, if Delsenora is still planning on going ahead with her plan to deceive the Orcs, Elanriel will mutter awkwardly to her to, "Be careful."

Xlore readies himself looking a drow as much as possible. Delsenora are you ready?Pulling his cloak over head.

Delsenora

"Give me a minute to change my attire, Xlore," comes her cheerful reply.

She exits the room and enters another to strip down then taking clothing from her pack, and a

strange looking whip, she dresses herself accordingly. Now she looks the part of a worshipper of

the Spider Queen. Tucking her symbol of Eilistraee into her tunic, she walks back to the room and joins the others.

"I am ready now, shall we?"

Talrand finishes his preparations before gathering his possessions. "I'm ready to go, please be careful you two I've heard some orc can be incredibly cunning."

While the preparations are still going on, Urtesi laments his lack of rations and is surprised to receive several offers to share food almost immediately. He gratefully accepts a ration from Delsenora who happens to be closest and assures her that he will certainly pay back the favour. However, he also takes time to caution her. "I advise you to only go ahead with this when we are sure that there are only a few orcs present. And none of their leaders."

When the party eventually reaches the door, Urtesi offers his mirror if it can be used to spy into the room and also suggests listening at the door carefully.

Haribal chimes in about food "You know these orcs had to have stored food somewhere. What was back in that small room near the entrance?" the halfling asks about the "store room" that nobody checked.

Urtesi

Orc food? The priest's mind flashes back to the dwarf head on display not unlike a hunting trophy. "T-thank you, Haribal. That is a good point, we'll be sure to check the store room when we go back to the entrance."

Delsenora

"I keep extra rations for just such occasions where I can help someone. It is my pleasure to share. This isone of the things I do as I travel,

I share with people, those more in need than I. You don't need to pay me back, ever.

Drow Farce: Trying to Fool Orcs

Delsenora & Xlore prepare to try and fool some orcs into believing they are "evil" drow here to enslave them or are least work with them. Everyone else takes refuge in the ferret trainers room (room 6) with the door cracked open to hear if trouble arises so they can rush to aid their friends. Before opening the door Xlore gives another listen at the door. Xlore hears two different voices conversing in orcish however one of the voices is a deep resonant voice different from normal orcs. Xlore passes the information to Delsenora and she nods then they proceed to open the door. This room differs from others you have seen it is large and fairly clean, with wolf fur bedding at the far end, a table of cleaned and polished weapons, a small chest, and even a large earthenware bowl with an urn of water by it. Sitting at the table is a bugbear, and an orc is is standing in the center of the room. From the conversation in orcish Xlore manages to make out this much. The bugbear is a representative of a distant tribe that the orc chief wants to help with the attacks on Stallanford and villages around it. The orc here is just flattering the bugbear and saying that the chief will see him shortly, he hopes he is comfortable, and so on. The orc and bugbear notice the door has opened and turn to see Delsenora and Xlore standing there both reach and draw their weapons and begin heading towards the two until they realize Delsenora is no mere elf. The orc and bugbear pause and say something in orcish "What are you doing here Drow? Do you wish to help us with the attacks on Stallanford and the villages near it? Or do you have some other business here with the chief?"

Map: Actions?

Delsenora

The Dark Elf glowers at both the Bugbear and Orc "My business is with the Chief" she replies in Orcish.

She makes a point of moving her hand to the whip sh enow has at her side, eyeing both the Bugbear and the Orc

"Today is your lucky day" she purrs "ON any other occasion I would have whipped you dead or turned you into a Drider

for addressing me!

This day I have important matters to discuss with the Chief so I will let it slide this once. Be thankful to whatever god you pray you still live.

Bugbear the bugbear glares at Delsenora "Me and my tribe do not answer to you or your kind. Try as you might you wouldn't succeed in making a drider of me." he has a stare down with Delsenora waiting to see who backs down first. The beast flexes his muscles and holds his weapon still in both hands.

Orc The stare down is broken off by the orc in the room "The chief wasn't expecting any drow. What did you say was your house name?" the orc asks giving a look like a child being caught by their parent in a lie.

Delsenora

Not really knowing any Drow Houses and understanding they wouldn't get any farther with the ruse,

she whispers back to Xlore in Elvish "The jig is up, fight!"

She prepares to cast the spell Command

Initiative for Command Spell [1d10] = 4

Her command is Sleep on the Orc

Egon

Egon will be listening at the cracked door for anything that sounds like combat and will rush to their aid if he thinks fighting has started.
