The Elemental Storm - Team Evil

[Slamexo]

You sneak over to the incompetent guards, not a single one of them even stirring from their deep slumber. One by one, you end their lives abruptly. As you slice your dagger across the throats of the last soul, he suddenly opens his eyes in shock! Seeing you above him and blood now pouring out of his throat, he barely struggles to his feet, but not a moment later collapses again, dead.

You're now alone in the clearing with the corpses of three innocents in front of you and their blood on your hands.

Ipphli, 20 experience for killing all of them so effectively

[Copacetic]

Jorgan cracks a rare smile as Ximen slices the throats effectively. He's a one to watch, alright. Moving forward, Jorgan rifles through the guards pockects.

Searching through the guards' pockets yields nothing; the only items in their possession are the weapons and armour they're currently wearing.

Ximen

Ximen watches the man die, then proceeds to use his shirt to clean off his blade. He, too, searches the guards along with Jorgan. After that, he gestures the others forward. "Now for the fun part gentlemen. Shall we?"

[Slamexo]

You also find nothing on the guards, apart from what's in plain sight.

Moving closer to inspect the array of rubble, you find it's actually a ring around a fairly wide, about five feet, hole in the ground with a rope hanging down, held in place under the rocks and a spike going through the middle.

[Dumbledore lives]

It'll be best to find out what's down there, I'll go first. Belos decided it would be best to just climb down, he can take anything that's down there. He tried to see what was down the hole.

You can't spot anything down the hole, the only light going in is the light from the sun above you which only seems to illuminate empty space.

[Dumbledore lives]

I'm going down. Belos starts climbing down the flimsy looking ladder and decides to light a torch when he gets to the bottom, if he can't see anything.

I don't really know if this should be up there, but he will yell if he sees anything.

Climb Check: (1d20)[15]

[Slamexo]

It's not a very long climb, barely ten feet; the rope was probably there more for getting out than it was for getting in. As you get to the bottom and light the torch, you hear the sound of bats flying away from you, most likely scared by the light, and down a passage that reaches further than your torch lights up. Behind you is a pile of rubble which after looking at for a brief moment longer can be quite easily depicted as a staircase which has suffered a cave in from above.

Now's the best time to determine marching order please

[Ipphli]

Ximen

Ximen glances down the tunnel, then back at the others. "So, can anyone see in the dark? No? Then I propose we light a torch or some such and keep together. I'll keep ahead a bit and keep an ear out for trouble. Anyone have a better idea?"

[Incarnum3]

"I've been training to be a scout since I was a boy. O'course, I'm not used to such cramped spaces, but I can still make my way around. I'd be happy to join you at the front." Mathias takes his bow into his hands, but does not yet notch an arrow to the deadly weapon.

[Ipphli]

Ximen

Ximen looks Mathias over then shrugs. "Alright by me. But not too sure if that's the weapon you'll want in hand down here. Like you said, cramped and lots of corners. But its your choice. Me, I'll stick with this." He pulls out a mace and taps it in his hand a couple times, a smile on his face.

He glances at the others. "Well, what are we waiting for? Shall we?"

[Kobold-Bard]

Haruk

Freeing his greatsword Haruk walks across the groups line of sight. "Volunteering my services as meatshield if any are interested" he says not waiting for a response and setting himself up at the front of the group, behind the scouts, sword readied at a 45 degree angle.

[Lansier]

I am most effective somewhat behind the front lines, I shall bring up the rear. Asger replies while drawing his glaive. Come let us waste no more time here.

[Ipphli]

Ximen

Ximen nods before turning and walking forward slowly. He stays just outside the light, so as not to ruin his night vision. But mostly he goes by feel and sound.

So move silent, hide, listen, and spot...

So i don't see or hear anything, but I'm invisible. Great for you guys behind me :D

[Incarnum3]

Mathias accepts the advice with a nod, but keeps the familiar weight of the bow in his hands. He had been trained in its use since he could stand, and preferred it to anything else. He did feel the weight of the sword on his back, and was comforted by the back-up option. He followed the rogue, keeping his eyes and ears alert and trying remain as quiet as he could.

I suppose I'll take the back if everyone else is in the front. Belos readies his short spear, and still has his torch in his off-hand.

Don't worry Dumbledore, I have been too slow posting this response. Apologies to all

Walking through the darkness, you step through the straight corridor for a short while until Haruk feels the floor disappear under his foot!

May I just say I think it's very cruel to give the fighter a Reflex save.

Anyway Reflex Save: (1d20+2)[11]

I'll do some RP when I know if I made the save or not.

Here, have some stats to rp with
You fell through, it's a 10 feet drop, and you take (1d6)[2] damage. No spikes at the bottom.

[Kobold-Bard]

Haruk

Walking along in the dark Haruk suddenly felt the floor below him move. He then had a horrible moment where time seemed to stop, before the entire floor collapsed. "OH SHI-" was all he could get out before he crumpled. He tried to move backwards to avoid the fall, but wielding a greatsword and carrying about 100 pounds of equipment can make this a bit difficult.

He fell for maybe ten feet before hitting the floor with an almighty clang of metal on stone. Before he tried to move, breathing heavily he blurted out almost gleefully "thank Fistbrough, theres no spikes".

Sitting up he made sure both he and his possessions were unharmed. (You know besides having fallen ten feet onto a solid stone floor.) Cracking his neck he pulled a torch out of his pack and proceeded to light it. "Hey ladies, watch where you step. Now could someone do me a favour and help me out". He then used his new light source to look around the pit he was in.

Sorry for multiple posts but can't put new rolls in an edit.

So stowing my sword and dousing my torch I will make a climb check: (1d20+7)[13]

Assuing it works I will take out my sword and torch again, relight it and will be looking around more carefully this time.

That's funny. I thought me and the ranger were in front too. Oh well.

Ximen starts at the noise and twirls around, bracing for an attack. Seeing and hearing what happened, he chuckles before moving to the edge of the pit. He looks down at Haruk. "Need some help down there?"

[Dumbledore lives]

Belos wanders over to the pit also, treading carefully. Remembering the rope he has in his bag he lowers it down into the pit. Here's a rope, maybe it'll help.
