Re: Forge of Fury IC
Suga had his eyes on some of the more martial items of note along Expedition Street. He had enough Wisdom to realize the importance of magic to heal himself to live and fight another day. Several merchants were interested in his exquisite dire axe but Suga would have none of that. He settled with getting a healing belt.
Back at the Inn the orc pulled out the map. With a leg of lamb in one hand he studied the map along with the other two. "Let's find out who 'they' are?"
Scroll
Spoiler: ScrollThe scroll case does not radiate magic. Inside it you find a map which seems to lead to a hidden area in the mountains north of Knurl, with writing on it in Dwarvish., followed by a note in Common, in a different hand, that says, "Nothing to do with me, but monitor them in case they branch out."Spoiler: Dwarvish writing"[illegible] Durgeddin's hidden forge...[illegible]...glorious work...[illegible]...radicate the orcish...[illegible]"Spoiler: GamesKeston Tornok for GF's AoW

Re: Forge of Fury IC
Feagon follows Suga and Tarak as they maneuver through the various shops.
While comforted by his fellows, he still feels the need, though he resists it, to cover his elven features.
As they shop, he watches with an for analyzing their choices and chooses several items based on his ideas along with input for his allies, knowing they have more experience in these matters. Finally satisfied with his purchases, he walks out with a smile as they move to get something to eat and drink.
"You know, this place isn't what I expected. Not really sure what I did expect, but it definitely wasn't this." he blurts out, knowing he sounded sheltered to the Suga and Tarak, but feels honesty is best.

Tarak
After studying the map for minute, Tarak points to a couple of landmarks, "These are the mountains north of Knurl for sure, but I've never been up there and know almost nothing about them. Looks like Durgeddin's forge it's hidden away in a fairly remote area. Gonna take some time getting up there. We should probably pick up some extra trail rations in the morning...I'm not much for woodcraft. You fellas up for setting out at first light?"

Looking around Tarak's shoulder at the map, he nods. "I have some knowledge of the woodland areas but it is best if we plan on taking what we need. First light sounds good."

Re: Forge of Fury IC
Following the map, you find a concealed path that winds up the mountainside. It's obvious when you know where to look, but without knowing where to look, anyone could pass three metres away and never see it, and the mountain appears to be a sheer face otherwise.
It's late afternoon when you find it.Orth Plays: Currently Baldur's Gate II

Re: Forge of Fury IC
Tarak
Much to Tarak's surprise the travel hadn't been that arduous and the nights had been fair. When Feagon and Suga spot the concealed trail late in the afternoon, the hobgoblin casts a protective spell on himself and sets off up the mountain.
"Feagon, keep an arrow notched to the bow. We'll go slow. I'll keep an eye out for any spore or signs of activity. Suga, engage that sniffer of yours, and let us know if anything's about."
Although by no means a tracker, Tarak bends to examine the trail head for signs of any recent comings and goings...

Re: Forge of Fury IC
Feagon nods and takes a few moments shifting his equipment around until he has his bow out and an arrow readied, if not the bow drawn itself. "Alright... lead on." he says as they make their way up the trail. He scans around as they move, trying to spot any signs of wild animals or ambush. As he thinks about it, he laughs quietly to himself to but Suga and Tarak hear. As they turn to him, he laughs a little louder. "This whole adventuring thing makes a person quite paranoid, does it not? I'm not saying without reason, but it gives one a different perspective on the world."

Re: Forge of Fury IC
"My old life, I'd still be waiting for one or both of you to stab me in the back."
Suga takes in the air, tasting the scent to get used to the area- the flora around, what animals around, or whatever more dangerous life there was around here. Dire axe in hand, he takes lead on the newly found path.Spoiler: GamesKeston Tornok for GF's AoW

The path winds sharply around the mountain. As you ascend, Suga catches a distinct scent of dwarf.

Suga pauses, his footwork instinctively in a ready stance even his upper body doesn't show it. He takes several sniffs in different directions. "We have company, smells like dwarf."

"Just to be on the safe side."

Re: Forge of Fury IC
You go around a bend and see two dwarves in scale mail, apparently guarding the path. Both of them quickly aim bows at Suga. They're sixty feet ahead of you up the slightly sloping path.

Re: Forge of Fury IC
Feagon, eyeing the dwarves but trying to keep the suspicion out of his eyes, keeps his arrow knocked even if he lowers the bow from pointing directly at them. He keep silent as he watches, listening without turning to make sure nothing sneaks up behind them.

Re: Forge of Fury IC
Both the dwarves fire at Suga, who moves toward them. One reaches for another arrow; the other turns and hurries back along the trail. Both seem uninclined to talk.
SpoilerSuga's readed action triggers and he moves forward, then:
D2 Attack: (1d20+1)[4] Critical threat check: (1d20+1)[20] Damage: (1d8)[5] Critical damage: (2d8)[3]
D1 Attack: (1d20+1)[16] Critical threat check: (1d20+1)[6] Damage: (1d8)[3] Critical damage: (2d8)[13]
D1 moves 20 feet back up the trail. D2 is 20 feet from Suga, 60 feet from Feagon and Tarak; D1 is 40 feet from Suga, 80 feet from Feagon and Tarak. Both have clear line of sight to all of you.

Re: Forge of Fury IC
"Hey! It that's the way you want it, no running away!" Suga speeds towards the dwarves, going right past the closer one and chasing down the other dwarf to give him a taste of his new axe. "Stupid dwarves think orcs are dumb, but you two chose weapons you don't know how to use. I've seen human kids shoot better."
Spoiler: OOCCharge at the farther dwarf. Going past not through the closer dwarf and assuming he can't do the AoO with a long bow but I could be in for a surprise and will try a tumble roll.
Dire axe: (1d20+11)[15] crit: (on 19+): (1d20+11)[29]
damage: (1d12+6)[12] crit: (2d12+12)[23] Slashing
Tumble (1d20+6)[13] DC 25 for moving at full speed. Use Wall of Blades if need be on the AoO as long as that won't also interrupt the charge.
Their +1 to hit is from their racial bonus vs orcs? Ouch

Re: Forge of Fury IC
With both dwarves down, Suga stops to look and smell for other potential enemies around.
"That was a waste. Maybe scouts for a larger group or whole clan? They have decent gear but too much to carry. Let's stash off to the side what we don't want now. We can grab stuff on the way back out."
Suga searches the dwarves. He takes a longbow and a mostly filled quiver for himself. Once the other are also finished he drags the bodies and remaining gear off the path to a hidden spot.
When all are ready, Suga continues on the path, taking care to be quiet and paying attention to his sense of smell.Spoiler: GamesKeston Tornok for GF's AoW

Re: Forge of Fury IC

"I'll be honest, that wasn't at all what I was expecting."
Bending down to examine the bodies momentarily, "I wonder why they wouldn't speak to us at all."
He walks down the path a bit, then leads the donkey forward before claiming the other longbow and arrows, "Might come in handy I suppose. We can pack the other gear in these sacks and have Kong carry it. That's why I bought him."
The hobgoblin helps strip the gear from the dwarfs and hide the bodies.

Re: Forge of Fury IC
Broad, shallow steps lead up a steep fissure to the south and turn east into the mountainside. Here, a broad entrance has been carved out of the stone. Marble steps cracked with age and veined with green moss lead up to a strong double-door of carved stone, 8 feet wide and almost 10 feet tall. Two arrow slits high on the north and south walls command this area.

Tarak catches Feagon's attention, then motions to the arrow slits before moving toward the south wall. Edging slowly along the wall with his back pressed against the stone, he tries to reach a vantage point from which he can see through the arrow slit opposite him on the north wall.
