[Kobold-Bard]

Dagvaard

Turning back to the group he says "will any of you be joining me" and proceeds down the hallway to the door to the furthest South of his position.

[Slamexo]

Looking back to the others, Rozan says one of the few things he's said in the entire trip:

"Don't follow me, I work better alone."

After speaking those words, he heads out the lower door in the east wall, before the one which had just been entered.

[UglyPanda]

Ben

"People who work alone die alone. I'm coming with you." Ben follows Rozan through the door.

[Slamexo]

Rozan

Seeing Ben follow him through the door, Rozan turns to him:

"And people who follow me die; go with the others."

He then walks on, not even bothering to check if Ben takes heed or not.

[UglyPanda]

Ben

"You're kind of a prick, ya know that? I honestly don't know what your problem is, but I don't care. You want to kill yourself, fine. It won't bring anyone back if that's what you're thinking. I'm a freakin' priest, do you know how many people I've seen die? I'm the second to last person someone wants to see on their deathbed. You know who the last person someone wants to see is? It's the people who cared about them up till their last day, their friends. So quit griping and make some new ones, got it?"

[Kobold-Bard]

Dagvaard

Hearing Ben's speech Dagvaard followed up with "so I take it you will be coming with me then"?

[Zarpasphankaris]

The druid takes a position by Dagvaard's side.

I shall accompany you Dagvaard.

[Kobold-Bard]

Dagvaard

"Excellent. Then I suggest we move on without delay".

Turning to Rozan he says "I do not know why you wish to continue alone, but if that is your wish then take these, if things are as bad as they seem then they will serve you well". He then hands him two glass bottles before turning away and heading for his chosen door.

Hands Rozan a potion of Cure Moderate Wounds and a potion of Sanctuary. I don't want my teammates dying while they're on their own

[Slamexo]

Rozan

Taking the bottles without another word, Rozan continues through the aformentioned door on his own.

[Dresil]

Rozan

You open the door on the lower east side and are immediately hit with the stench of rot, and decay. It looks like this was once a stable. But now, its more of a graveyard. Dirty hay litters the floor, and in a few of the stalls you can see the eerily white outlines of thee horse skeltons.

The Rest of You

The door opens with a slight creak as you find yourself in the lobby of the keep. The muddy carpet looks quite worn, remeniscent of a cheerier time for this place. Claw marks gouge the carpet here and there, and there are five doors in all. One where you came from, on the north wall, plus another two. The middle door is ten feet wide though, and it looks more regal. There is a ten foot door on the eastern wall, and a normal sized door on the west side.

[Slamexo]

Rozan

Deciding that the stable had nothing of interest, Rozan left the room and went through the other door in the hall that no-one had gone through.

[Kobold-Bard]

Dagvaard

"Why so many doors" Dagvaard sighed. Turning the others he says with a small smile "well I picked the last one so this time its one of your turns"

[UglyPanda]

Ben

Ben goes to the double doors, opens it a crack, and looks inside.

[Kobold-Bard]

(Dresil? I think we're waiting to hear what he sees through the door.)

[Dresil]

(Sorry, was on vacation and forgot to post a note.)

Rozan

You open the door and see a pair of black lizardlike humanoids in a lush garden. One is busy stringing a bow, and the other seems to be fletching arrows.

Rest

The grand hall opens up to what looks like what used to be a status symbol for someone that was loaded. The massive hall is decorated with a luxurious carpet, torches still burning inside, and pictures of kings past already. A large staircase leads up.

Listen check for Ben, Move Silently for Rozan

[Slamexo]

Rozan

Move silently (1d20)[3]

Seeing the black lizard things, Rozan broadly draws his greatsword and holds it in position, ready to defend himself if they don't react the way he wants.

"Alright, you've got two seconds to drop your weapons and get on the ground before I cut you both in two."

Spoiler

Show

Taking a total defense action as well as attempting to intimidate.
(1d20+12)[22]

[Dresil]

Listen (1d20+3)[14]

The blackscales turn toward you, as the one finishes stringing his bow. The other one reaches for a shortbow nearby, and they both look at you with a scowl. The first one talks in rough Common.

"Look here, Outlander. This is our territory. Now, unless you don't want to become an offering yourself, I suggest you leave all your valuables on the ground and slowly walk away.

They nock arrows at you. You are twenty feet away.

Init (1d20)[6]

[UglyPanda]

Listen check: (1d20+4)[12]

[Slamexo]

Rozan

Seeing the lizards be unaffected by his attempts to scare them down, Rozan was surprised to find that they spoke commen, though he did feel that if they didn't he wouldn't have been able to scare them in the first place.

"Look, I don't know what the situation is at the moment, so why don't you explain to me what you and your people are doing in this castle and how long you've been in here before I just go at you as if you hadn't said anything."

Spoiler

Another intimidate check (1d20+12)[28]
Also, maintaining that total defense action.

[Dresil]

They still seem unaffected by your intimidation. Ben, you hear rough words being exchanged whre Rozan is.

Because, Outlander, there are two of uss and only one of you.

I am not going to use initiative for battle, just anyone in an ecounter post once for a turn, then when I post you can act again. The wait limit is 36 hours for an action, otherwise I assume you do nothing.

Two arrows fly at Rozan.

[Slamexo]

Rozan

Though he tried to deflect the arrows with his sword, both flew just past it and into his arms.

"Damn" Rozan thought to himself as he gritted his teeth in pain "I need to be more careful next time."

"Fine, if that's the way you want it to be, then that's how it'll be. Levitas, MUCRO!!!!"

As Rozan called out his attack, his greatsword became sheathed in crackling lightning while he proceeded to charge at the lizard wielding the shortbow, aiming his greatsword at its weapon.

Sunder attempt.
Attack roll (1d20+13)[27]
Damage roll (2d6+2)[14]
And the electric damage (1d6)[2]

Mmmm, that's some fine rolling there

[UglyPanda]

OOC: Wait...what? Isn't Ben supposed to be in another part of the building entirely? I mean, he's outside and I have to be near the center, seeing as there's the grand hall. I also only just noticed that sentence, since you put it right after something my character wouldn't know so I didn't read it.

[Kobold-Bard]

OOC: Dresil, you gonna post? Either for Rozan's fight or telling us what is behind that door?

[Kobold-Bard]

Game officially considered dead.

Farewell Dagvaard.
