He will not spend healing surges during this rest. Have we reached a milestone?
It looks like Bharash and Laira might consider healing. Bharash is down 6 points (less than a healing surge), Lara is down 15 (just over 2 healing surges). While both Gabe and Zynthis can heal, Zynthis as a cleric heals the most HP on the average, so it should be Zynthis rather than Gabe that heals Laira since that's most likely to get her close to full hit points with a single healing surge. |

Zachary will rest for five minutes to recover Chill Strike and Shield. While he does so, he will study the remains of the constructs, taking notes as he goes. He will take a few samples of the previously glowing eyes if he can pry them out of their sockets. Zachary is able to pry out one of the eyes which turns out to be a simple piece of glass. Looking though the empty eye socket Zachary can see a small chamber where a living creature would keep it's brains. The chamber walls are covered with carved runes. There was at least one detached head if he wants an entire head as a sample. |

Sanem and Persephone will stay on high alert to see if anything is moving about (with the Raptor circling the tower again until we are ready to go in) The only things moving are snow flurries blown by the wind. Sart stays near Sanem as he looks around, reminding him of a young puppy in her attitude. Thursagan, also on watch, sees the same lack of activity. While the party is taking a breather to recover from their ordeal, the snow begins to fall again. It's still a light snowfall for now, but everyone remembers the blizzard they had to fight though to get here. |

There was at least one detached head if he wants an entire head as a sample.Zachary, intrigued, sketches out the runes, and packs away the head. If possible, he wants to track down what powered these constructs (noting that such a thing might also be quite valuable). It occurs to me that the only thing Zack has to take notes on is his spell book (does that double as his ritual book?), but he really should have some kind of separate notebook for random, scratch notes. D&D is always pretty bad at this--the last time I had a character that took notes, he was doing it in spell books because they were cheaper than paper, but, even then, it was ridiculously expensive. |

Quoting from the handbook:
"Multiply your Strength score by 10. That’s the weight,
in pounds, that you can carry around without penalty.
This amount of weight is considered a normal load.
"Double that number (Strength × 20). That’s the
maximum weight you can lift off the ground. If you try
to carry that weight, though, you’re slowed. Carrying
such a load requires both hands, so you’re not particularly
effective while you’re doing so. This amount of
weight is considered a heavy load.
"Five times your normal load (Strength × 50) is the
most weight you can push or drag along the ground.
You’re slowed if you try to push or drag more weight than
you can carry without penalty, and you can’t push or drag
such a heavy load over difficult terrain. This amount of
weight is referred to as your maximum drag load."
I didn't know that. 100 lbs is a fairly generous margin, and I'm in little danger of going over it, even wearing leather armor.

Zynthis will take a short breather as well, resetting healing words & healing strike.

Zynthis will take a short breather as well, resetting healing words & healing strike. Heal Laira: [dice=6]+3+7 surge=12 pts healing Heal Captive: [dice=6]+3+?=9+surge (which for him might be a lot) Zynthis takes a 2nd 5 minute break to replenish healings words again.[rand=195170284333005239080801848490165518469469194494306828990681981995] |

Zynthis was out of words so he will heal Laira after he rests. Also, will offer a heal to the captured goblin if he wants it as an reward for guiding us here.Zynthis takes a 2nd 5 minute break to replenish healings words again. The prisoner is still bloodied, but is out of healing surges for the day. Which brings up the question of what does the group want to do with him now that you've reached the tower? Edit: Just to be clear, the prisoner is out of healing surges so Zynthis can't heal him. |

We could ask Sart to see if he can be rehabilitated. Maybe we come back out of the tower the two would be getting along with each by then and will take off together. |

Laira Elereth turns to Zynthis,"Thank you. I was starting to feel a little dizzy."
Would thank Gabullifax except it looks like the group decided he canceled the inspiring word.
If we're waiting to rest for 5 minutes in front of the tower doors, how cold is it here, right by the tower?

Maybe we come back out of the tower the two would be getting along with each by then and will take off together. Harknail considered Zynthis's suggestion. Leaving one goblin to guard another of her tribe? He wasn't particularly worried about them running off, his concern is that they would join forces and attacked them, most likely at the worst possible time. Harknail looked at the dejected captive and the eager to please Sart, still following Sanem around like the stories he'd heard so long ago of lost puppies. He'd spent a long time pondering the motives of humans, goblins didn't seem all that much different. He didn't think either of them was likely to attack them. Run away perhaps, but attack definitely not. Harknail finally answers, " That be fine with me master Zynthis. But would not Sart get cold if the storm continues to worsen?" I know I'm replying in character to an OOC comment, but it's more fun that way. Harknail's conclusions are the result of his Insight roll and may or may not reflect the opinion of the GM <evil grin> |

Also, where did these two goblins come from? I gather one was captured in a previous encounter - was the other as well? |

The Hexer was picked up in the previous fight. He was the leader of a group of Frost Goblins (a hunting party from Sart's tribe that had been altered by the cold). He surrendered from an intimidate check after all the other Frost Goblins had been killed. He is depressed and dejected. |

Gabe frowns at the suggestion. "Though I see little other choice, I fear leaving the recent captive to his own devices. Even with Sart keeping a watchful eye on him. That said, unless anyone else has a better idea then we should push forward. Taking him with us into the tower seems to be a more perilous decision."
