Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
It takes you the most of an hour to backtrack to the destroyed camp and to follow the other trail until you find something noteworthy. The path brings you to a clearance in the forest, on a very small hill - maybe thirty yards across. The place features a well, a small hut, and several sticks and stones located in peculiar positions on the top of the hill. The wind blows and makes quite a noise in the forest, but you can make out some kind of sound coming from... somewhere in the clearance.
SpoilerListen checks:
Rubido: (1d20+5)[14]
Selia: (1d20+7)[22]
Melchia: (1d20+1)[18]

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
Selia, upon hearing the voice, moves more quickly, going to the well and looking down into it. Hello? She asks, trying to see if the child they're searching for, or the one they heard, is in the well.

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
Help! Help! screams the voice. It's dark in here! And pointy! I'm scared!
The well is very dark, and sunlight is coming at a low angle now, so that's not helping much either.

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
Annoyed that she exhausted her spells earlier, Selia checks for the bucket, or rope, of the well. If either are there, she begins to lower it down, hoping to give the trapped child something to grab onto.

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
Selia starts lowering the bucket. As she is doing it, the child starts screaming louder.
Aaaah! The floor is moving! Help! It's scratching me! AAAAH!
Suddenly, the rope you're holding to lower the bucket is violently pulled from the bottom of the well.
SpoilerStrength check to hold on to the rope: (1d20)[13]
Selia manages to keep the rope in her hands, but the pulling doesn't stop, and it's very irregular. The child keeps screaming.
Help! What is happening? Mommy! Mommy!
Selia:
SpoilerYou can't be sure of the gender, but it sounds like a very high-pitched voice. It could be a human girl, or an elf of either gender.Last edited by mucco; 2011-09-27 at 01:22 PM.

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
Melchia rummages in his pack.
"We should have asked those soldiers if they could spare some torches."
He produces a candle and attempts to light it with his flint and steel.
(This likely takes 2 full-round actions. Once lit, he'll try to see into the well; Rubido might fare better with his low-light vision.)Will you take the rocket launcher?

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
Spoiler(Speaking of Rubido....)
Rubido attempts to peer into the well, making sure he wouldn't be easy to topple over or pull in. Seriously? A well? Today is starting to get ridiculous.

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
You can see what's happening at the bottom of the well. There are spiky rocks, and a corpse is impaled on them. An elf child stands on the corpse and tries to climb on the bucket but he's having a hard time because it's a bit high for him. Meanwhile... the corpse has animated and is now trying to kill the child, from the impaled position. It's also trying to get a hold of the bucket.

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
Melchia can barely see what is going on down in the well. He leaves the burning candle on the lip of the well, and looks around.
"I will check that shed nearby. Perhaps there is something of use inside."
He jogs over to the shack and tries the door, looking for rope, lanterns, or anything that could potentially help them.

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
You kick the hut door because it was a bit stuck. The door slams open, and hits something behind it. It is a corpse, it's dressed with leaves and green leather, it has a sickle, and it looks at you as it falls on the ground.
The door is now open, and a zombie is inside. BRAINS...

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
The well was simply too small to fit in, so Rubido decided to do the next best thing. Fire crossbow bolts into it until something dropped and stayed dropped. Preferably, it would be the zombie, but mishaps happen all the time.

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
You aim the bolt well, and it gets stuck in the zombie's flesh. It doesn't seem to suffer too much from the wound. The zombie in the house stands up and looks at Melchia with a very hungry expression.
SpoilerAssume you know what zombies are, and that they have DR 5/slashing. Also, no need to roll for crit confirms.

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
Selia tries to lower the bucket more, to allow the child to get in. I'll pull you up, get into the bucket if you can! She calls down to the child.
As soon as the child is in the bucket, she'll start pulling it up.

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
Melchia backs up, before turning around and hustling back to his companions by the well.
"We have a problem: there is a zombie in the shed."
He draws his crossbow, checking to see that it's loaded.

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
SpoilerMy bad for taking so long.
Rubido just looked at Melchia for a moment. "There's a what in the where? I'll take care of it." Note to self, make friends with some clerics. Until he had time to draw his blade, Rubido decided his shield would have to do. He dropped his crossbow, hoping he remembered to grab it again later, and strapped on his shield. If nothing else, he could improvise.
SpoilerDropping crossbow by the well and strapping on the shield. Moving 15 ft towards the zombie Melchia mentioned and planting myself in it's way. And if I can, going full defense.

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
SpoilerYou have a BAB of 0, so you can't combine strapping the shield with the movement. That means no total defense.
The zombie directs its attention to the elf, who is now closer. Shambling, it lunges at Rubido.

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
The creature was close, and bashing it with his shield was probably going to do as much good as his crossbow did. So Rubido would draw his sword. I have this under control! Focus on the child!"
SpoilerIs it easy to tell I rarely end up in combat? Anyway, move action to draw my sword, and then attacking.

Re: Shadows of Anmer IC
Rubido's mighty blow cuts the zombie almost in half. Many little bones and chunks of rotten flesh fall to the ground as the monster struggles not to fall. Lastly, it regains its balance and strikes back.
