The Tales of Faerûn - Campaign Thread

The creature continues to laugh in its manic way, then pauses at Misha's questioning for its own name.

"No name. No name. No name. No need."

"Come now everyone needs a name," Saravena comments then thinks for a moment before continuing. "Though I suppose No-name could be a name, or Nameless, but I think Emerald or maybe Jade would fit you better. What do you think? We can't just keep calling you nothic or creature."

Target makes sure the  gothic is aware of the food offering before explaining the layout of the rooms across the bridge and suggesting "The southernmost room seemed to house the smallest number of redbrands, perhaps start there and then head north.  If things get too bad we can retreat to the tunnel.  Thoughts?"

ooc: care to reference the post with the map for the newcomers.

ooc: Ok so what have you explored? Have you been to the cistern room? I take it you have not been across  the bridges. 

(So far the different passages to the south have been explored but the door were not opened. Then the room north to area with the bridges. There two secret doors were discovered, but only went through the door to the east. The door to the east was locked and then the room with the coffins was explored as well as the two doors to the east there.

I modified the map slightly to allow for Berdon to be found.)

OOC: Oh - I thought we found Berdon in the room in the far South East corner as we indicated that we would proceed through those double doors but must have got our wires crossed when you described the passageway to Berdon.  With those doors being locked I would suggest we try to clear the west side as quickly as possible and see if we find any keys (unless one of the party can open locks), so Tagret's suggestion is as stated further above.

OOC: We have been in the tunnels on the west side and heard 1 or 2 voices in the SW room, then more voices in the room to the north of that.  Rooms/tunnels to the far NW we did not scout.

OOC: Tagret jammed a piton in the secret door in the west wall of the store room (North room on eastern side of cavern) so that should slow down any visitors from upstairs(?).

Misha looks at the bridges then to the Nothic "Are those safe?"

Your route as far as I understand it

Ooc: I’ll follow your lead target! 

Seeing no clear direction to the talks Tagret sighs and takes the lead, moving them to the northern bridge over the chasm "Gundren & SIldar - stay here as the lookouts and deal with any that are looking to flee, the rest of you let's go" and with that Tagret heads west and into the northern of the two west tunnels, figuring that the room the south will meet up. "Time to get ugly" and with that he hefts his Great Axe.  Let's see if we can surprise anyone in the room to the South "Saravena...check the way forward for any traps, but you lead the rush and I will charge in right behind you.  The rest, go hard and fast, we can't afford an alarm to be raised"

OOC: Plan is to rush the 5x5 room from the northern door, hopefully drawing out any in the other rooms to investigate.

Once in the corridor Misha whispers  "Let me listen before you do anything."

Perception13

Misha listens in through the door and hears the sound of rattling followed by shouts and groans. The sounds continue and alternate.

Misha shrugs steps back and lets his new friends do their job whispering "Try not to kill all of them that Nothic maybe some help in questioning."

As Misha listens through the door Saravena uses the tip of the bolt loaded into her crossbow to reopen the cut on her left hand (taking 4 damage) so she could reapply her crimson rite on to her crossbow. When Misha steps back the scarlet lightning springs to life, wreathing the bow area where Saravena spread her blood. Saravena steps forward, placing her left hand on the handle of the door then turns back to the party making sure everyone is ready. 

"Go in fast and hard but leave one alive to answer questions," Saravena whispers. "Ready?"

Once she gets an affirmation from the others Saravena takes a deep breath, throws open the door, and takes a shot at the first thing she sees with in the room.

Attack: 25 Damage: 10 plus 4 lightning damage 

OOC: @TheBrit - let us know if we are going to get a Surprise round, and perhaps a summary of what we see when we burst into the room.
OOC: Do you want an initiative order roll?  Initiative: 3

Misha stays out in the hallway right of the door so he can't be scene from the north and reserves his action just incase someone escapes the onslaught If someone(enemy) comes out to warn anyone He reaches out and touches them with shocking grasp

 Attack: 14 Damage: 3

 Initiative 3

 If he gets to go again at the same time Attack: 23 Damage: 4

When Saravena opens the door, you all see a large room with several worn tables and chairs scattered around. Wooden benches are drawn up against walls decorated with draperies of brown and red, and several ale kegs are propped up and tapped.

Initiative:  18

Berdon loads his crossbow and piles in behind Saravena shooting at the first cloaked man he sees! 

Attack: 21

damage: 3

Initiative: 18
