Emi-chan's Undermountain Campain!

[tophat]

Folli

Nolli wakes as the daylights streams into the room , a groggy familiar feeling accompnaid by a slight sickness in the stomach greeted him along with the new day , fumbling around he located his belt pouch to see once more it was severly depleated . bah
Stumbling across the room he opened the door , just outside a bucket of water had been left for him . Reaching down with an unpleasant rush to the head , he grabbed the bucket and headed back into the room . Stuicking his head out of the window and quickly tipping the content over his head .
With a loud curse he shook his head to ring of some of the water , at least his head was feeling clearer and with that clarity a moment from the last evenings drinking came ponderously up to his mind .Had he really told that stupid lad he'd guard him into the undermountain .
With a shrug he figured he properly had , gearing up into his armour and grabbing his axe he headed back down to the common room , this evidently was going to be a corker of a hangover,undermoutain indeed

Eyeing the Innkeeper has he enters the common room

Innkeeper , Bring me some food , preferly something meaty thats been cooked in fat could be me last meal may as well make it a good en ..and chuck in some eggs if you got em and maybe a loaf a bread

Are yer sure? Yer look like you've got one hell of a hangover, wouldn't you prefer fruit or something fresh?...no...oh well, i'll see what i can do.

Making one or two jestures at a passing staff, a plate of steak, eggs and a fresh baked loaf were soon on the table.

Cymran


"So its a chance for riches fame and glory... While also offering up a possibility of painful death?" He responded to the barkeep. He pauses thoughtfully, "Well its either that or watch all my coins disappear." Looking around he finds the guy the barkeep had pointed out earlier. With a look to the barkeep the young man walks over the human playing with a colorful cube.

"Are you the one pulling together a trip to this Undermountain place?"

[vampire2948]

Avoraelde


Not taking his eyes off of the multi-coloured cube in his hands, he replies:

Yes, that is us. Come over here and sit down, please. I'll explain things.

[estradling]

Cymran

The young human pulls up a chair at the table to listen

[vampire2948]

I stop my struggle with the Rubik's cube and lay my hands on the table, after setting the cube carefully down beside them.

Thank you. My group currently numbers seven, and I am assured by the inn-keeper that we will need as many people as possible to have a chance of survival, hopefully survival will also entail recovery of something shiny and, or, useful.

You are welcome to join us, I ask that you tell me your name, and your method of combat, if you are capable or willing to fight.

We leave as soon as everyone is up and ready to go.

I wait for you to repond.

[estradling]

Cymran

"My name is Cymran. As for fighting... I can fight, and I am willing to do so, but prefer not to as a matter of course." His studded leather armor and plain morningstar are silent testament that at least the young man has the tools to do so.

"I can be ready to go in about five minutes. What are you offering by way of incentives to go on this expedition?"

[vampire2948]

Ah, of course, sorry I did not notice your weapon. I sort of block out all else when i'm with my cube, it's a very intresting form of puzzle.

As for incentives, you get a share of the treasure and you will be paid a wage on top of that. I will be distributing all treasure found fairly between our group which now numbers seven.

Sound fair?

I write Cymran's name and a few notes in my notebook.

[Lansier]

Nolan Brook

With a yawn Nolan opened his eyes and got up out of bed. He streched his arms before putting his boots on, grabbing his backpack and heading downstairs.

''G'Morning,, is everyone up yet?'' He says upon arriving in common room. He orders some breakfast (bread and eggs) and sits down near Avoraelde.

[estradling]

Cymran

"Indeed it does... Consider me signed upped." Pausing for a bit, Cymran wasn't sure how he would react to this next bit. "I realize this next bit might sound weird, but I have the ability to adapt to what I need to do, if I know about is far enough in advance. I know you said you need fighters, how about scouts? Or how about people who can negotiate?"

[vampire2948]

We need all those things, though I can negotiate rather well, my family took me to several courts and such when I was younger. Though I did not turn out to be the heir that they so dearly wanted.

Fighters are good, scouts are good.

Your choice, really. I do not know exactly what will be ahead.

Good morning Nolan!

[estradling]

Cymran

"Hmm... well... Chances are you will not need more then one negotiator or scout really. Whereas it sounds like you can use all the fighters you can get."

[vampire2948]

I concur.

We are just waiting for one more member, Amist Halcyon, our half-drow duskblade, to wake up.

Then we can check we have everything we need...make any last arrangements, or plans, and get going!

[estradling]

Cymran

"I'll get my stuff," With that the young man gets up and goes to the room he had for the night.

In the privacy of his room he quickly draws out a summoning circle in chalk and calls forth Savnok

[Frosty]

Chronos the Warforged Warblade

Sitting in the common room of the inn, he has quielty starting playing his bongos once more. "I have met a few of the humanoids classified as "drow" in the past. If my memory banks function correctly, they do not require this "sleep" like other humanoids do."

[emi-chan]

Durnan looked up at the noise and seeing the party called across the room.

Are yer ready ter go ter Undertown yet? Or are yer waiting on anyone else?

[Frosty]

Chronos the Warforged Warblade

Looking back slowly at the barkeep, he intones, "I believe we are missing one member. Female humanoid of the drow type."

[vampire2948]

One more person. he tells the inn-keeper.

And to Chronos :

Yes, I know, howerver, most of them have the ability to 'trance', a form of meditation. I am sure she will be down shortly.

[The Bushranger]

((Real life sucks sometimes))

Amist

Speak of the devil...or, rather, the half-drow, as Amist comes downstairs at this point.
My apologies for the delay. And how is everyone this day?

[vampire2948]

Good Morning, Amist!

Good, everyone is here. We picked up another two members for our little group this morning, by the way.

Well...once everyone is ready, we'll leave.

Inn-keeper, what is the fare for using your passage into the Undermountain?

[The Bushranger]

Amist

And a good morning to you as well. I am well rested and believe that I am ready when everyone else is.

[vampire2948]

Excellent, I shall make the required arrangements with the inn-keeper for our passage into Undermountain. I am not sure what the fare is to use his passage...but I may not be able to afford it on my own, as I am lacking in funds after paying for the rooms.


Avoraelde stands up and walks toward the bar, pocketing his Rubik's Cube.

[tophat]

Folli

After eating his way through his large breakfast Nolli sat back in his seat and let out a large belch . Well looks like its about time to be going . Standing up he adjusts his armour , checks his axe and ensures all his equipment is in order . Then walks over to the group as its gathering .

Come on then death or glory time , although I wouldnt be putting my money on the glory if i where a betting man

[emi-chan]

Durnan sees Folli stand and walks from behind the bar to stand with the group. Are yer ready then? I'll be takin' a fee of 1 gp ter lower each of yer down to ter dungeon level er Undermountain.

He beckons to a bar maid who leaves the room and returns with a sack of food.

Which of yer wanted the food?

After handing it to the correct person Durnan leads you out through a doorway, down a flight of stairs and along a corridor to a large well.

Ere's ter entrance, pay up and i'll get yer all down there.

[tophat]

Folli

Folli peers over the edge of the well down into the Undermountain. Stupid, very stupid
Guess Ill be heading down then , chucking a coin to Durnan see ya all down there

[vampire2948]

Avoraelde

Avoraelde splits the food between the group (none for Chronos...as he doesn't need to eat).

Then he hands the barman a coin and follows Folli to the rope.


See you all down there!

[sazzer]

Karilu

Let's be getting on with this then, see what's to be seen.

Also tossing a coin to the barkeeper, Karilu heads down with the others.

[Duke of URL]

Derrick

After double-checking his backpack, Derrick declines taking any additional food. "I'm not exactly built to carry heavy loads, and I already have several days worth." He pays the innkeeper and heads down with the others.

[emi-chan]

The last echoes of the Inn, toasts and betting whisper about you as you descend into the well. As the light from above fades, a chill overtakes you, and you find yourself sinking with no end in sight. You drop slowly and steadily deeper on the rope, almost as if you were the bait on an un-weighted fishing line in placid waters, but the cold and quiet that surrounds you is anything but peaceful. The silence has more of a threatening quality to it. After being lowered for what seems like too long a time, you at last see the bottom.

Finally, your feet touch the bottom of the well, several inches of sand covers the floor of this roughly square room. Broken and dented shields hang in stone walls covered in chalk and charcoal graffiti. The ceiling looms a mere 10 feet above you-as it does in the hallway that leads out of the room to the south- but a 30-ft diameter hole in the ceiling forms a chimney that rises up over a hundred feet.

[vampire2948]

Avoraelde


Avoraelde touches the ground shortly after the dwarf below him.

He grabs his notebook and begins to make notes on what he can see before him.

Everyone, be careful. If you see anything hostile, make sure to inform the rest of us at the earliest opportunity.

I straighten my robes and look around at the graffiti to see what it says.

Spot Check, if it is required.

Then, I gaze into the darkness that surrounds us.
