Wake of The Creator (IC)

[EvilRoeSlade]

The halfling grins ruefully. Aye, hasn't exactly slipped my mind.

When the coin calls from Therea's hands, it spins and then lands tail-side.

[Holocron Coder]

Kyeian

Kyeian glances at the result and nods. "So, who's doing it?"

[Tyracus]

Tyrelius

Reaching for 4 gold coins from his pouch Tyrelius hands it to the halfling and then speaks to him. "It would do you well to remember what we are capable of. Luck was on your side this time, it would be foolish to waste what was so graciously spared by pushing your luck further. With that Tyrelius turns away and begins to head towards the well.

We are close to completing the first stage of our journey, let us hurry on with more care this time to avoid any further delays.

[Pink]

Therea

Therea permits herself a small smile as the halfling is sent on his way before following Tyrelius. "Yes, We may have stayed here too long already, let us continue on."

[EvilRoeSlade]

The halfling stares in shock at the coins in his palm, not seeming to comprehend them at first. He hasn't moved much since Tyrelius' abrupt departure, but just before you're out of sight you can hear him shouting. Hey, wait! Wasn't no small thing what you done! I won't forget this, ya hear? I'll pay ya back for what you done for me! Wasn't no small thing sparin' my life!

With that he clutches his side with a grimace and hobbles to a nearby shadow, vanishing from sight.

Left with nothing to do but continue forward, you again make your way through the Under Ruins. Past crumbling marble statues of things no longer remembered in this world and through the hastily constructed tents and shanties crammed in between bizarre, cyclopean temples, you finally arrive in a rubble-strewn courtyard.

On one side is a short, wide, cylinder of masonry, with an old wooden top closed, concealing what may be underneath.

[Neftren]

Perrin

"Well... anyone wanna go first? No? Alright." With that, he walks over to the opening of the sewer and slides it off.

[EvilRoeSlade]

Beneath the slab of wood there is indeed a hole stretching down into darkness.

[Holocron Coder]

Kyeian

"Lovely, a dark hole to the sewers. Guess this is what we were looking for anyway..." She glances at the rest of the group and takes out a torch, striking it alight. "Ready?"

[Neftren]

Perrin

Perrin grabs a nearby rock and tosses it into the hole. He carefully listens, counting the time between the rock's release and the surface it lands upon. When he hears what he needs, he casts about for a rope.

[EvilRoeSlade]

The rock hits a surface after about a second or two, though the light from Kyeian's torch doesn't reach the bottom. It looks like whatever pulley system the well had has been destroyed, and there is no rope lying around.

[Neftren]

Perrin

"Well... that's just fine and dandy. Doesn't seem to be too far down, but then again, we can't really see far enough to be sure. I don't especially feel like jumping down their either. Anyone have any suggestions? Or did anyone think to bring a rope?"

[Tyracus]

Tyrelius

Pulling the rope from his bag Tyrelius begins looking for a secure anchor to attach it to. It is common to carry rope to meet any challenges one might find during travels. Also I had mentioned using this to detain the halfling we had met earlier, I guess it's just luck in our favor I didn't have to use any of it then.

[purepolarpanzer]

Terrelen

Tie a line then. I am eager to move on towards our mission.
Terrelen flicks his wand, the crystal starting to glow, blue light flowing from the sapphire crystal.

[EvilRoeSlade]

The first thing you notice is a crumbling statue. But upon further inspection you realize that it's core has been fractured and it could easily break under significant weight. A bit farther away however, you find a crumbling stone wall and manage to secure the rope to a protrusion that looks sturdy.

[Tyracus]

Tyrelius

Taking the lead Tyrelius begins to climb down after lighting and dropping a torch before him. When he reaches the bottom he lifts the torch with his left hand as he readies a blast of energy in his right.

[Holocron Coder]

Kyeian

Having another source of lighting, Kyeian clambers down the rope second, taking her time to hold onto the torch.

[Neftren]

Perrin

Smoothly rappelling down the line, Perrin immediately draws his sword. Who knew what lived down in this decrepit place.

[purepolarpanzer]

Slowly, Terrelen lowers himself onto the rope, waiting for everyone else to go.
I'm not suited for these escapades! Why couldn't there have been stairs!
Wand firmly ties to his wrist, he begins to climb down last, making his way slowly.

[EvilRoeSlade]

You seem to be in a dank access tunnel. Only Terrelen's wand and Kyeian's torch allow you to make anything out. The ground is cracked and sparse with rubble, but as long as you watch your step, it won't prove to be much of an obstacle. The ceiling is curved and only extends a few feet above your head. To your left, the tunnel stops abruptly, having collapsed into rubble. To your right, you hear the sound of running water, and can faintly smell something terrible.

[Holocron Coder]

Kyeian

Gagging slightly, Kyeian waves the torch in the right-hand hallway. "Obviously this way..."

Terrelen
Waving his hand before his nose, Terrelen evokes a smell of fresh cut flowers before his nose, trying to mask out the stench. Due to the limited nature of the Prestidigitation, he has to irritatedly repeat this every few seconds, keeping the phantom smell from overwhelming him.
We have to head INTO the smell!?!? Oh, damnable sewers, full of muck and mire. Why do I have to crawl through this drudge and sewage. damn it...
Turning to the group, he speaks louder.
I think I should stand in the rear of the party, where my projectile spells can be of most use.

Hopefully prestidigitation is strong enough to keep that smell down. If it mattered in combat, I would definitely say it did nothing. Calling the last spot in the marching order.

[Tyracus]

Tyrelius

Looking rather unimpressed by Terrelen's comments Tyrelius moves forward and takes up a position with a torch towards the middle of the group.

I think the stench will be the least of our worries on this journey. I would get used to it so something worse doesn't catch you unawares.

Also keeping a sharp eye out for anything out of the ordinary

"Welcome to the Jungle Sewers! We got fun and games smelly drains! Lets get a move on."
