"Argo doesn't have them, I do and sure. Don't you have the ruby from the red one too?"

I hand him one of the onyx gems. 

//I'm Dro by the way haha. Yeah I like this too it keeps me on my toes at work hahah, I've never used roll20, in fact, I have very minimal knowledge of it. By the way I like that you put your name in you signature I'm doing that too lol.//

(OOG Dro has the gems. lol And maybe. I have never really used Roll20 but would be open to it down the line if we can get all our ducks in a row. I do enjoy having this PbP because it gives me something to do doing my work day and it lets us build a story together slowly. Knowledge History or Religion check if you have it.)

"All will be explained soon, please hurry." He says as he nudges you towards the ladder. He laughs as he says, "The Wakening will find you, my friends."  He looks to the wall he created and starts to show fear. "If they catch you in here we are all dead!"

You can see cracks appearing in the stone wall. There are growls coming from outside, and a loud roaring that isn't unfamiliar to the party. It's a Firelord. If Dragconics are simple minded monstrosities then Firelords are the thing that they fear. Magically infused creatures with dark eyes that can snare a soul and arcane power that is terrifying to behold. They show no mercy, they have no fear. There are 4 Firelords in this country, Carnagith the Red, Brutalitus the Green, Markos the Gold and Yugitarinith the Prismatic. They are the Barons of Doom and the Lords of the Sheep. Carnagith is the Firelord of Greenlake and the surrounding area. 

(OOG: history check for who here's mine just in case sorry.. 8+4=12 history.)

(OOG History or Religion check for all. And thank you.) 

(History check = 6. :P )

Okay, what are you guys doing? Fancir has given his dire warnings and the Wall of Stone won't hold forever. There is a ladder down into the depths of the tavern and one of the Firelords outside. 

//18+1 on history//

Brachos begins moving toward the hole, though he waits to make sure everyone gets through before him.

// Arcana check = 4 + 2 Bonus = 6 Final Result //

Rylei begins to go down the hole as Brachos waits. 

// Is it dark? Or can we see pretty decently? //

I also begin to go down the hole.

"Hmpf, secret passage, I like it"

Argo scrunches his face at Fancir's shooing, but the pounding on the stone wall convinces him to go along with it for now. He heads down the trap door.

As you all climb down the crawl space you can feel the air around you getting cooler. As you reach the bottom of the ladder you come into some water about 6 inches deep. It smells down here, for it is a sewer. You can hear the little pitter patter of small creatures scampering around. The darkness extends beyond the light of a torch in a sconce on the wall. The torch itself is everburning and there is only one. When Brachos reaches the bottom of the ladder the opening at the top of the ladder closes and the ladder disappears. You can also hear the dripping of water all around you and you can see above your head (about 7 feet) roots growing down from the vegetation above. 

The tunnel goes in two (2) directions. North and south. What would you guys like to do? Which way will you go? And what is the marching order for the group? 

Brachos and Dro, you feel like you have heard of the Wakening before. Maybe felt it. You're not sure. It's like a thought forming at the back of your mind then disappearing. You reach out to grasp it and it's gone. You feel like you should be able to touch it, to feel it...everytime you do, it's just gone. You feel a sickness come over you every time you try to think of it. An uneasy feeling that something isn't right. Nothing you can speak of with certainty, but the feeling persists. You both are at Exhaustion Level 1.  Rylei and Argo, you both are at Exhaustion Level Two. You have splitting headaches that are staggering. These feelings persisted since you were up above but now that things have slowed down. You don't know why you feel this way. Maybe the fight upstairs. The constant running and facing off against the Dragconics. The knowledge that you may be able to take down Firedeath one day.

(OOG There is a reason for this happening and a mechanic behind it. Brachos, you were SO close, though! Anyways, happy Thursday! This is the last day of work for me this week, we have tomorrow off because it is Good Friday. I will be one tomorrow while at home, between this and Overwatch I have nothing planned for tomorrow day. :) ) 

// drow, dark vision 120ft.//

I would like to look down both ways (north and south) to see if I can see anything. //perception 11+1=12 just in case//

"Don't worry guys I can be our eyes or bring us light but for a moment lets leave it dark."

The sewer goes towards the north about 100ft and comes to a "T" intersection. Behind you, to the south, the sewer goes for about 40 ft and takes a right. The everburning torch is a torch that shines with the light of a torch, yet the flame is cool to the touch. There is still light here from the torch, bright light in a 20 feet and dim light 20 feet beyond that. 

Exhaustion

Some special abilities and environmental hazards, such as starvation and the long-term effects of freezing or scorching temperatures, can lead to a special condition called exhaustion. Exhaustion is measured in six levels. An effect can give a creature one or more levels of exhaustion, as specified in the effect's description.

"I can cast light if need be" I say with heavy breath. Rylei is looking tired and a little warn out and keep rubbing his head. "Maybe we should try and get to the end so we can rest. I'm not feeling so great right now. All that fighting and commotion must have gotten to me. I'm usually better then this but right now, I just...We just need to rest soon. Goddamnit." he says again as his head pains again. 

//I would like to be either the 2nd or 3rd in the lineup. A mage in the front or way back is usually a bad idea. I'm guessing we can see okay, Gmoat? //

I relay this information. 

"The sewer goes towards the north about 100ft and comes to a "T" intersection. Behind you, to the south, the sewer goes for about 40 ft and takes a right. The everburning torch is a torch that shines with the light of a torch, yet the flame is cool to the touch. There is still light here from the torch, bright light in a 20 feet and dim light 20 feet beyond that."                          

"which way was the marsh from our location Rylei?"

Argo breathes heavily as his eyes try to adjust to the darkness. "If we don't take a light, I will be useless in case of any surprise. But I may be the only one."

(Argo will suggest getting to the edge of the city as fast as possible and then continue South. Does my [I]Wanderer[/I] ability let me know which direction the city's edge is in? Also, man, this party is Darkvisioned up...except for the Ranger... :P

As far as marching order goes: We have two heavies (Brachos and Alendi), then me in the middle, then two squishies (Rylei and Dro). Meanwhile, Alendi and I have the best Perception, with Rylei close behind. We probably want Alendi in front? And then Brachos and I in the back? Or vice versa. Any thoughts?)

Rylei pulls out the map and starts to look at the location and what direction is needed. 

// Gmoat: I look at the map with the light from the torch. Which way do we need to go? //

Geographically, the Marshes are to the south. 

(OOG Unless you're a bada$$ battle mage you gives no @#&$% and charges ahead of the party...lol But I agree, squishes should always be in the middle if they can be! Also, you failed your save to see if there was a correlation between how you're feeling and anything else. This is what you do know: These feelings persisted since you were up above but now that things have slowed down. You don't know why you feel this way. Maybe the fight upstairs. The constant running and facing off against the Dragconics. The knowledge that you may be able to take down Firedeath one day. I like your thinking, though! Keep that in mind for the future. But all Rylei knows is that he's not feeling well and it would seem strange to feel this way as well. If you wouldn't mind editing your post to reflect that, I would appreciate it.) 

(OOG Yes, you will be able to use your ability to do that, Argo.)
