(ooc: sorry I had the apush test, so no electronics.)

OOG (

To summarize:

We got a quest from Kerowyn to find his missing son and daughter. At least one more involved adventurer is missing, a paladin from the shrine.

We know that some Twig Blight are wandering in the region. Probably connected to the missing party. We got 2 vials of Alchemist fire.

Also, some goblin are selling a mysterious magical fruit which apparently cures diseases. We do not know if this thing is connected to the missing party.

[OOG: So I think it was mentioned at some point, but how far away is the Sunless Citadel from us? Do we want to leave now or wait another day to leave in the morning?]

(OOG I believe is not that far, probably within a day. I the others agree, I would say let's go now)

Ivor grunts in agreement 

"Aye, I say we finally hit the road - we can always deal with these twig blights when we come back.  Every moment we waste here decreases the chances of us finding the children alive."

Ivor waits by the door.

Fin, after staring at the alchemist fire, snaps out of his trance like state, and quickly goes to the door to stand with Ivor. "Ivor is right, we need to help the kids," Fin says with a smile on his face, he then mutters to himself so no one will hear, "The girl might be pretty too." A slight blush creeps onto his face as he turns his face downward and walks out of the store, waiting on his friends.

(OOG GOOOOOD MORNING! Sorry I was gone all weekend. I had game night on Friday and then went to a music festival with some friends. But, as soon as I get some real work done I will get a post up. Thanks for being understanding. :) )

(OOG Okay, it seems like everyone is ready to make their way onto the road and get to searching for the lost Hucrele's, yes? If anyone else wants to do anything else in the village, let me know.) 

The Citadel

See the old Dragon from his throne

Sink with enormous ruin down!

-Hymn

Leaving Oakhurst takes that part down The Old Raod, an overgrown path that winds through rocky downs and stands of old growth oak. Old abandoned farms are passed along the way and the woods surrounding the road are alive with the sounds of the forest. The afternoon sun is hidden by the shade of the trees, making the air cool for your travels down the Old Road. With Oakhurst behind you and uncertainty ahead, you can feel the excitement growing inside of you. Whether that's from fear or the spark of adventurous zeal is yet to be discovered. 

The Old Road passes to the east of a narrow ravine. At the road's closest approach to the cleft, several broken pillars jut from the earth where the ravine widens. Two of the pillars stand straight, but most lean atop sloped earth. Other's are broken, and several have apparently fallen into the dark depths. A few similar pillars are visible on the opposite side of the ravine.

As sturdy knotted rope is tied to one of the leaning pillars on this side of the ravine. 

What would you like to do? 

Evan tries to see where the rope leads, in a careful way.

[OOG: Does the rope extend to the other side of the ravine? Perception: 4]

Erabor takes a look around. Trying to find who could have tied the rope.

Ivor walks up to the hole, grabs a rock and drops it down the hole and listens for it to hit the bottom

( OOG - Nature (?) 7 or maybe Survival (?) 6 to figure out how deep the ravine is by how long it takes the stone to hit bottom (if he even hears it))

(OOG An Investigation or Survival check if you have it.)

Erabor starts walking around in circles around the area where the rope is tied off. He doesn't seem to find what he is looking for. Evan sees that the rope drops down into the of the ravine. YFrom the edge of the ravine he can see older and weathered handholds and footholds carved into the cliff face. 

Bree sees that rope is in good condition and couldn't have been tied there for more than 2-3 weeks. 

Survival: 12

Ivor drops a rock down and counts the beats of his heart until he sees hears the patter of the rock below. He thinks it is about 225-275 down. (OOG For something like that it would be a survival roll or and Investigation. But good job thinking to do that!) 

As Ivor is dropping rocks into the hole in the ravine and Bree is checking out the rope, Erabor walks around some more, he finds that the area in and around the pillars has hosted many small campfires, some as recent as a month ago. Someone went to some effort to hide the evidence from casual viewing.
