1 - 007 - A Raid Too Far

[Wicksy]

As you decide amongst yourselves about which supplies should be purchased, Randal Morn summons a scribe. He notes down your list: 5 antiftoxin and 2 scrolls of neutralise poison. Randal Morn dismisses the scribe and turns his attention to you once more. "Eat well tonight. You will dine with me. Then, you may stay here and leave tomorrow if that is your wish"

Not wishing to offend, you dine well. The food is not as sumptuous as you have eaten in the past. It is tasty and well cooked though. You sleep well rising with the sun. Breakfast is provided and Tender scrumps as few loaves and rashers of bacon "for the road".

Studying the map once more, Mal stands before Ewan and Tender and begins the incantation for teleporting (carefully studied area).
[dice=100]

Mal, something feels wrong. The thread of the weave isnt twisting correctly...something doesnt feel right.

Arriving at your destination you look round. You seem underground, in a stone vault of some description. Your heart sinks, this isnt the Dordrien Crypts. Its a crypt - just not the correct one. Which one, your unsure.

Ewan and Tender, your eyes rapidly adjust to the darkness around you. You stand in a large stone vault with a very tall ceiling. Tall enough that even wan on hind legs cannot reach. Eyeing the room, it seems there are many ledges, each containing molded skelatal remains. A single exit is via a tunnel on the northern most most wall. The smell here is musty and dank - this place hasnt been visited in many, many years.

Ewan - Your nose picks up a smell...a terrible stench of the dead, but some how worse.

Mal - your familiar also detects it. It scurries into the folds of your cloak, afraid of what is coming.

Then... Ewan listen [dice=20] + 15
Tender listen [dice=20] + 17
Mal listen [dice=20] + 2

(versus DC30) Ewan passes.

Ewan, you hear the gentle rasp of steel on stone, like something dragging metal. It comes from far off, but it is getting closer...

Everyone else: You wait patiently for Mal to reurn, but he seems a little slower than usual. You figure they're probably just securing the area.

OODM: someone may want to take over Fangor's character while he's busy.[rand=99047446136751067979445748092754791387088815770882467149297109]

{Well, assuming that Fangor can teleport us; then he'd be heading back to pick up the others; regardless of where he really ended up. We all need to be together; especially if we don't know where that is.}

Coppertop checks over his supplies again as they wait for the return of their transportation. He's sorta glad that the fighters are there to secure the area; but if they need his help; they'd better think about getting him there. It was hard to heal someone with leagues and leagues between them.

"This should be fun, eh? Lets kill some evildoers." he says with a wink.

Ewan quiets Tender with a silent steelclaw gesture. Pointing to the corner where the noise is coming from he bows into a hunting crouch while speaking,

"Evil lurks in this place, I smell it on my nose," is the declaration. He is ready to strike at this careless foe that made itself too readily appareny to his keen ears. . .

{Try Tender, I'm not there yet. Waiting for Mal to come finish the go.}

[Althael]

(OOC:Got to agree, that was a bit confusing. At first, I thought that I was at the crypt too, but it made no sence since Akatas have darkvision. I had to read it again to see that. Wicksy, try placing some more "----------" when the character are separated. The end is okey, but the beginning have everything put together.)

[Wicksy]

Sorry, i should of been more specific. Teleport works for Mal + 3 medium creatures. So, Ewan + Tender + gear is that equivalence were first. I'll be more specfic next time.

Also, Mal has realised he is not at the correct crypts so what are his actions (specifics please). No one has any idea where they are (The mishap basically takes them to a similar area - ie a crypt upto 1000 miles from Daggerfalls).

[Fangor the Fierce]

OOC - Mal can easily teleport them right back out, if the others are ready to get the hell out of this place. Or they could disperse of this thing, then be on their way afterwards, simply more EXP IMO


Mal whispers to the two others here, quietly and intent with them knowing the situation. "This is not the correct place, we should return. Now, or after we disperse of this threat?"

Mal will ready to Teleport them out of here, should the others agree. If they attack, then let's get it on!!!


OOC - Again, Mal would have easily wanted to Teleport the group out to the place that prior night, then had time in the morning to Teleport himself to the man, get the supplies, and be back before the others knew he was gone. Kill two birds with one stone, plus have 1 more Teleport left in the morning rather than using three.... Or in this case, all 5 now....

EDIT: If the others want to Teleport out, he will not return to the town, rather instead, he would try to Teleport them to the RIGHT crypts instead.

"I say you get us out of here now, I told you I wasn't up for a fight tonight, and I'm not, I'm mashed... now seeing as you screwed up and slot us in down here, you can get us the hell out before we're outnumbered, slashed up, and end up slitherinng around like whatever undead pile of crap is coming that hall towards us right now!!!"

[spiral]

eh, sorry, I found that as confusing as the others.

still, Tender is angry...the teleport had gone wrong, and they were here without the rest of the part, who also did not know exactly where they were.

"This is bad, let's get out before it gets any badder!"
