Re: The Ones [IC]
As you enter the town proper, you notice that it is rather empty, not a single soul was seen from the gates to the quarter above the sea level. As you walk by several scorched spots are to be seen everywhere; from rooftops, to windows, to doors, walls and even the ground bares a faint trail of ash which ends ways before you even reach the floating quarter.
However, the trail, sort of speak, is literally cold by now. No pirates, no bandits; nothing.
The docks, much like the rest of the town, are as empty as a goblin’s head, as the old Ellinakan saying goes.

Re: The Ones [IC]
Corretha, getting frustrated at finding nothing at all in the town, heads to the center of town and casts Silent Image, creating the brightest light she possibly can and sending it straight up in the air to the very limit of the spells range (480 ft).
She maintains this light for a minute or two and then changes it into words 30 ft wide. The words read in common as "You are safe now. Come to the center of town."
She cycles the message for another few minutes before letting the spell end.
[OOC]SpoilerTo be more clear, after I am done with the bright light I create the words one by one, each 30 ft wide (the max width I can do at this level).I will NOT succumb to evil!...Unless she's cute._____________

Re: The Ones [IC]
The scorchings aren't random. Said Lafean to the party after he returned to the town centre.
Indeed it turned out that the scorchings all end up on a small hole near the southern gate. It looked like a track and it was enough for the scout to lead the party to that point. The bandits didn't clean up after themselfs properly - and that should work in party's favor.
Lafean carefully came closer to the hole, knelt before it and started the examination.

Re: The Ones [IC]
The message left by Corretha doesn’t seem to attract anyone except for Mallias, who returns to the town square area after inspecting the tracks. There he meets Corretha and Urlandro, while Lafean heads towards the southern gate to inspect the scorching marks.
Nothing changes, so far. The houses, now clearly empty, had most of the furniture taken away, as well as any food supply. Not a single person or body is to be seen around the town.Spoiler

Re: The Ones [IC]
Lafean called the rest of the party to the hole in the southern part of town. He then pointed at the few teeth laying on the ground nearby. Lafean suspected what creature could have left these teeth but he had to be sure. He lifted one of them and examined it.
Careful, the hole is deep. He warned the rest when they came to him.
Lafean smelled the tooth - he was almost sure that it smelled like sulfur.

Re: The Ones [IC]
I'm not sure...The size of the hole and teeth matches an adult hound though...
Lafean didn't want to make any statement before he was 100% sure.
The animal is not natural - that's for sure
Lafean looked at the wizard silently asking if he learnt anything more.Last edited by Seth1221; 2010-01-16 at 03:18 PM.

Re: The Ones [IC]
After examining the tooth, Corretha said "Well, Lefean, you're right about it not being natural. I can't quite put my finger on exactly what it's from though."
Corretha pockets the tooth and points to the hole. "I say we send Mallias in first," she said, trying to get a rise out of their too-solemn scout.Last edited by Koury; 2010-01-16 at 05:22 PM.

Not sure how much time has passed, so vigor may have run out. If its still on Mallias agrees to go down the hole.
Anyone got a rope?Currently moving houses, posting will be sporadic for the next little while.

Re: The Ones [IC]
Lafean took his rope and tied up himself around his waist. This way Mallias will be secured and the party will be able to pull him up easily.
Lafean stepped at the edge of the hole grabbed the rope and nodded to Mallias. He was ready.

Re: The Ones [IC]
Urlandro stayed the young ranger's advance with a gentle touch on his shoulder. "No. I should go, I think." He discarded his heavy flail and dropped his shield. Rummaging in his backpack for a moment, he withdrew an arm-length piece of withered wood, etched in enigmatic runes of a mildly magical nature - an ever burning torch. "There, that should be enough."
He waited for the others in interject.

Re: The Ones [IC]
Lafean nodded slowly - Urlando will turn out to be a bigger weight but the scout should hold him either way.
Anyway the hole wasn't vertical per se so the paladin should be able to crawl in it on his own strength.

Re: The Ones [IC]
Slowly, but surely, Urlando was able to crawl through the tunnel. Fortunately, whatever made that hole made it big enough so that even on his full set of half-plate Urlando was able to crawl through without much difficulty other than crawling through a sandy hole littered with scorched earth and even some scorched roots at some points.
For a good while the paladin crawled, and crawled, and crawled, until, eventually, the rope tightened and the crawling stopped.

Re: The Ones [IC]
Corretha waited for a second after Mallias headed in then followed.
A mysterious hole in the ground, seemingly made by some sort of fire creature large enough that I can crawl through the hole myself with relative ease. Nope, nothing could go wrong by going in here, Corretha thought to herself. Nothing at all.

Re: The Ones [IC]
OOC
Spoiler@Goon: sorry about that mate, the frenetic nature of the posting sort of overtook things. With Urlandro being the better armoured - and his mantle requiring him to always put himself in danger's way first - it seemed the natural choice,. Sorry for the mix up mate, I guess we're both in a hole now!
With a minor word of power, Urlandro roused the magic of the everburning torch into life. the darkness fled before the wan glow of the torch.
Urlandro toyed with the idea of removing the rope entirely and continuing on down the dank tunnel alone, but erred against it. Wisdom suggested that he should turn back. He silently chided himself for not bringing the spare rope; with both ropes to hand he could lash the tow together and continue on.
He took a moment out to survey his surroundings, pondering his next move.
OOC:
SpoilerSpot check, Xiao. Urlandro is looking for the following specific things: scorch marks, claw marks or any signs of how the tunnel was constructed, blood or trails of clothing.

Re: The Ones [IC]
As Urlandro tries to return, after quickly inspecting the area, he meets with Mallias who is followed closely by Corretha, since both Sentinels made their way downwards into the hole after a while.
Now, the scorch-mark filled hole has three of the sentinels lined up just before the turn the tunnel takes towards the southwest (when it stops going diagonally downwards and instead becomes an almost perfect horizontal tunnel), while Lafean, above the hole, holds onto the rope that ties the paladin.

Re: The Ones [IC]
Seeing as rest of the Sentinels wen down the hole Lafean decided to go as well. There were nothing to be done here either way.
He took a second to tie the horses to one of the buildings - they were to be returned to the city watch after all.
Next he took the belongings of Urlando and went down to the rest of the party.
Soon he noticed the light - Urlando's torch.
Your equipment. The Scout said passing it to the paladin.
Lafean rejoined the party and took a look around the tunnel.

Re: The Ones [IC]
With Urlandro at the fore, the party were now all assembled in the tunnel. It seemed an odd situation to be in - the four of them huddled so tightly together like this. But there was nothing else for it; the tenebrous hole beckoned them onwards.
"Perhaps we should trail the rope behind us as we go? If the tunnel branches further ahead, it might help to mark our path."
