Pizazz's Ravenloft and Beyond

Rahadin init: 17

At 17 the two arrows whistle through the air slicing just past the spot Rahadin had been visibly standing. 

Waiting on Mordekai and Meepo.

Meepo initiative: 23

What's Meepo do at 23?

Meepo has Rat look around to see if the dusk elf is just invisible.  Rat can detect invisible things within 30 feet of him.

Mordekai initiative: 9

Roll perception for Rat. However Rat sees immediately that he's not simply invisible, he's not there anymore.

Perception for Rat: 16

NPC Rolls:

 d

(OOC: OMG, the forums text boxes and posting is so screwed up right now.  Sorry, I can't seem to edit my last post, the editor won't come up). 

Rat looks about, not spotting Rahadin anywhere.  The wind continues to blow snow and it seems as if he simply teleported away, as he is not just invisible.

"Rat no sees."  Meepo tells the others.  "Maybe gone?"  That ends Meepo's turn.

If this is just stealth... After all, we have snow, that could cover and thus betray Rahadin 

Perception: 18

(Nope, Lionel is blind as an owl)

The moments slip by and it would seem he has vanished.  Lionel very quickly begins to shake in the snow, and goes back into the hut.  Inside the group rests the rest of the long rest (that didn't count as an interruption really).  The sky is getting dark, and the sun is setting.  The group has recovered from the minor frost bite and is feeling better.  The group is wrapped up in makeshift warm clothes crafted from bed rolls and anything the group has.  The group leaves the hut into the biting cold and enters the dark temple, it's shrouded massive statues still and judging.  You find a shiver moving up your spine as you enter the temple...and it's not because of the cold.  The evil here is palpable.   Icy steps descend ten feet to a time-ravaged hallway with arrow slits in the walls. Beyond the hall lies a vast, sepul­chral darkness.  

What's your marching order, and who needs light?  Ismark needs light, as he can't see in the dark.  Reminder marching order should include Kasimir and Ismark.  I'll get us started by suggesting: 

Lionel, Mordekai, Ulthan, Meepo, Ismark, Kasimir, Olin.

 Don't forget two skeletons and two zombies, but they can be in the back.  Otherwise fine with marching order.

Correct about Lionel's place (and he has Darkvision)

"Ulthan last in line, but not last." Ulthan grumbles. He then moves to last place behind the undead. He regularly checks the rear as he semi-quietly moves along, goggles on his face, bow in his hand, quiver at the ready.

Roughly 2 by 2 in these wide, frozen dark hallways, you move into the temple.  Lionel, Mordekai, Meepo, Ismark, Kasimir, Olin, zombie, zombie, skeleton, skeleton, Ulthan. 

You reach the bottom of the dark icy steps, a lantern mid-party burning as Ismark holds it before him to push away the inky blackness of this place.  A hallway twenty feet long and ten feet wide cuts through the solid stone. Somehow, as you've descended, it was as if the temperature dropped even further.  Breath plumes as every surface sparkles with a thin icy sheen. There are arrow slits on either side of this hallway. They appear to be about 4 feet tall. There are two on each side, spaced evenly down the hallway.  There is no light here, only darkness. 

Beyond the hallway you can make out that the area opens up onto a balcony.  The balcony seems to be made of black marble with a shattered railing overlooks a vast blackness.  Mordekai, even your extended darkvision can not make out the far side of the room beyond the balcony.  From here, it is only a sea of more darkness. 

"Somehow I imagined the place with the name "Amber" in it to be better lightened and a touch warmer. Let's try to adjust at least first part." Lionel took a small rock from the floor //anything goes but a small rock would be most convenient// and made a smooth gesture above Light. When the rock begun to shine, paladin threw it across the room beyond.

"I see nothing, for well over a hundred feet."  (Mordekai's darkvision reaches 120ft, through both magical and nonmagical darkness, so this is a big space!)

Seeing that Lionel is looking to do ...something... Mordekai reaches out and casts Guidance on Lionel.

"Well, at least we might see how deep it is," shrugged Lionel. "But you are right, may be it was not the best idea." When the rock hits something, Lionel would move to see what did it lighten and then search for the way from that balcony further into the Temple.
