OOC: being a full elf, i only need 4 hours for a long rest, so if we take a long rest, i was planing to spend 1 of those extra hours to scout. 

OoC: Ah, ok. Well, regardless, Geth is at full HP and only down one hit die, so unless we're in exhaustion territory, he's ok staying up while you scout and just fitting in a short rest.

Bho rushes forth sinking his weapon into the miasma of darkness. Scar massive sword cuts through the shadowy air and the shadow begins to dissipate, melting back into the shadowfell. 

 

(OOC:  Hey hey hey!  Not to be absurdly petty, but Anton was ahead of Scar in initiative!  That's my kill, yo!)   ;)

 Oh shit may bad. 

It was Anton's qstaff that sent the beast packing back to the shadowfell.  

Obsben crosses his arms, and musters up a stern look at Geth. "No need to be rude by calling me 'the halfling' now. And to be clear, I've always sent me will wishes and so forth to Big Mama Yondalla, and passed along any return sentiments. Just that most of us 'halflings' don't make a big production of it." He looks askcance for a second. "Well! 'cept on feast days or the like, I do dare say." Chuckling, Obsben cheers up and requests a moment to think while putting away any coin. The alchemist's fire flask, if shown, he takes one look at and grimaces at them.

"I'd hold on to those as well, but uhm... Might be better things of a firey nature be left in other hands. Now, as for the blessings, I... believe my body can handle channeling two or three more major ones. But no trying after, 'less I be see'n Big Mama Yondalla and the rest soon enough." Obsben grins despite the grim sounding news. "All that said. If'n the plan is for an extended rest and so forth, uhm... is there anything I need to expend my power on here? Well, try at least?" He says, hinting at the magic circle inscription, if only incidentally.

I'm all otherwise up for a short or long rest now. Probably best go for the long at this point and get back some hit die too. As for employer, not really. We've only been gone maybe two days at most. I don't think they'll start to worry for at least another three at MOST, considering they "waited" a month before looking for a help last time. 

 

"Sorry, 'the wee one'," Geth says, mock apologetically. "You think that magic circle there might be magic?" he asks. "Rock parchment scissors; loser does the ritual?"

1: Rock
2: Parchment
3: Scissors

Obsben huffs and rolls his eyes, but plays the game. 

3.

Cass too joins in the game with a bit of an eye roll.

2

"OI! WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT BOULDER SMASHES SHEERS!" Cass says excitedly miming the rock smashing the scissors.

Geth casts a puzzled glance over at Cass. "Can you do magic now?"

2

"Oh right... no. I just got a little excited. Used to play this one in my clan a lot. Didn't win too often tough..."

Scar will keep a watch out, leaning against the wall, while topics are being discussed, "Are we stopping for the night or moving on, though I agree this room, is not the best to hold up for the night."

(to move things along, let's suppose Geth loses the game; though in retrospect I'm realizing since we're planning on a rest, Obsben could have just cast the spell with an action using a slot; ah well)

Geth sighs audibly, and begins pulling out the materials he needs to ritual cast detect magic. He sits on the floor near the magic circle and goes about the process, which takes about 10 minutes.

After several minutes of finger waggling and chanting, Geth can see an aura of transmutation on both the statue and the magic circle beneath it. It does not feel malignant. 

"We rest for the night. In the snake room. I will meditate the first 4 hours. Then i will take over the watch for the next three hours, before i wake Geth for the last watch while i scout ahead with some magic protection." 

Anton flops down to rest.  He starts to work his rope, but realizes his arms are just too exhausted.  He's glad this didn't happen to him when he was in the ratlines on a ship!

With thoughts of the sea in his mind, he quickly falls asleep.

Whoo long rest. 

Bho returns to the room with the dragon statue. It is a quiet as ever. The door opens up into a wrecked library. Several bookcases have been knocked to the side and broken for kindling. You can see some books and parchment jumbled among the debris. There is one door leading out of the library. It opens into what appears to be a smaller room with a few stairs heading into a corridor. 

You can see the corridor ends in a couple more stairs heading up. This corridor seems to take you underneath one of the arboretums. Twenty feet past the top of the second stairs the hallway turns right and continues for some 120 feet. There is one door leading off of the corridor. It is locked. It has been maybe 30 minutes since you've left the group. 

I return. 

Anton wakes up feeling much better.  He does some push-ups to test his strength.  All is well.

He then casts Darkvision on himself and insists on one more hour before the crew leaves. (ki recovery from that spell.)

Scar will join the group in the room that the fire snakes were in, at least the room is a bit warm at least. He will let he others take the watches as he lays down and instantly falls asleep and starts to snore. Waking up feeling refreshed and looking forward to the rest of the day he will eat his breakfast in silence while holding the greatsword in his lap. studying the design of it and taking some practice swings with it to further get used to the fine blade.

[OOC: Attuning to it if need be.]

On my way back i would like to use maybe 15 minutes to search through the library. I would block the door with a piton and use a lantern to have full light.
