Icarus initiative: 22

Like before, if you guys wish to kill the sleeping Hill Giant guard, go ahead and make a surprise round attack.

"If only I fought against opponents as careless and foolish as these when I was with the paladins."

Voltan brings his sword down on the drunken giant

Ebony flicks a finger and sends another fire bolt at the giant.

"Paladins, huh? An interesting enough job, though I've found myself on the opposite side of such battles on occasion."

HillGiant(AC13/HP44)

Splat extends a tiny hand, marking the Giant for death. It then scampers up and ravages the Giant's throat once more.

A blood-soaked Splat giggles, appearing to be enjoying the slaughter.

A giggling blood soaked kobold emerges from the remains of the dead hill giant, drenched in blood and probably yearning for more. Roll for initiative.

Oh wait. That's just Splat.

Nevermind.

Ebony raises an eyebrow. "Honey, you may be more bloodthirsty than some demons I've met, and they're literally created to be killing machines." The redhead dusts some green sparks off of her hands. "I don't suppose anyone has anything that can melt that hoop down just to be safe?"

Paeris, who didn't even need to draw his blade, gives the Kobold a faint nod, before walking over to one of the sacks and cutting off a piece of cloth. Grabbing it, he tosses it to the kobold, speaking up, "Well done....all of you."

Where to

Assuming the tower was clear, Paeris would suggest checking out the westmost dor in the entrance.

It's closed, but unlocked.

Similar to what Icarus did with the door on the right, he'll place his ear to the door on the left and listen to hear anything that might be going on in the room beyond the door (Perception: 27).

If he hears nothing, his next action is that he'll quietly open the door, once the rest of the team is stacked up behind him, ready to pummel anything that lays beyond.

If he hears something, let me know what he hears (and he'll not open the door just yet).

It's quiet, since it's evening time. Since i'm no photoshop wizard, here's what you see peeking in. Looks like hallways that lead to sleeping quarters.

Ebony sets her not-cat down on the floor. "Ghost honey, do me a favor and peek around a bit?" she asks casually. The cat butts his head into her legs and then scampers down the hallway to check rooms 14, 15 and 16.

AREA 14:  In all, this room holds seven beds and various small furnishings including chairs, nightstands, and chests. One torch burns at the west end of the room in a sconce; on the opposite wall is a sconce holding a large, unlit torch. Various skins and hides cover the floors. Several others hang on the walls alongside giant garments on pegs.

AREA 15: The place contains several cots, boxes, and stools, a table, two benches, and various odds and ends.

AREA 16: This place is almost identical to the matching room across the hall (area 15), with the addition of a few cloaks plus some hides on the floors and walls.

Ebony's eyes turn pure white, and she watches through Ghost's senses as the not-cat moves around. "Sleeping rooms. Nothing particularly interesting that we can see. There's another door, shall we slip under it to take a peek?"

Icarus licks his lips in anticipation of draining a sleeping giant bone-dry of its blood.  The ever-present yearn appears to be intensifying, threatening to become all-consuming.  But the moment quickly fades, as Icarus shakes his head to clear those foreboding thoughts away.

Throwing caution to the wind, he'll quietly pull the door open a little further, offering enough room for a living, err, kinda-sorta-maybe-living humanoid sized being to make it through, and then creeps down the hall to the other door that the kinda-sort-maybe-not-living cat identified.  Placing his ear against the door (Perception: 23), he'll once again attempt to listen to anything in the room beyond.

All of the doors of the sleep areas are slightly ajar, hence why the cat was able to be provided the description I gave it.

"Yes, let's advance." Voltan says, now that Ebony has given her intelligence. "Surely there must be more of them about here, given the sleeping quarters."
