Falken nods to Karlov; "If they do come close, that option will certainly be appreciated!" He returns his gaze to the distance, looking for something that would make noise if impacted - a window, maybe a bell? "I could fire an arrow to make noise somewhere away. That might draw them away from out path." The situation leaves him uneasy. If the group is detected at this point, he fears all that planning will end up being pointless. He is aware that plans cannot always go perfectly; nevertheless, it is not an enjoyable situation. OOC Falken can ignore range penalties due to the Shapshooter feat. With his longbow, he could hit something up to 600' away. Perception check: 17

His own gaze grows darker with each destroyed shopfront and livelihood. The majority of the populace seem complicit in this poisoning of the land - the loss of righteousness - but if whatever resides within the tower is fermenting it rather than working to restore the city then their punishment should be more severe. As they come upon the small horde Karlov restrains his divine instinct to carry out Kelemvor's will and bring a final death. Though he was not afraid of death drawing too many in would prevent him ever cleansing the land of undeath. "Many of these more simple shells innately fear Kelemvor's Judgement," he offers gravely, "I could attempt to turn them to run? I would offer a brief reduction and respite, perhaps enough to cross the square." OOC Action: — Bonus Action: — Movement: — Reaction: — Object Interaction: — Concentration: — Actions & Resources Actions: Mace . Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Reactions: Class Features: Eyes of the GraveAt 1st level, you gain the ability to occasionally sense the presence of the undead, whose existence is an insult to the natural cycle of life. As an action, you can open your awareness to magically detect undead. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any undead within 60 feet of you that isn't behind total cover and that isn't protected from divination magic. This sense doesn't tell you anything about a creature's capabilities or identity.: 2/4 (Long Rest) Detect Magic: 1/1 (Long Rest) Detect Poison and Disease: 1/1 (Long Rest) Channel Divinity: 1/1 (Short Rest) Path to the GraveYou can use your Channel Divinity to mark another creature’s life force for termination. As an action, you choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you, cursing it until the end of your next turn. The next time you or an ally of yours hits the cursed creature with an attack, the creature has vulnerability to all of that attack's damage, and then the curse ends. Turn UndeadAs an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action. Harness Divine PowerYou can expend a use of your Channel Divinity to fuel your spells. As a bonus action, you touch your holy symbol, utter a prayer, and regain one expended spell slot, the level of which can be no higher than half your proficiency bonus (rounded up). The number of times you can use this feature is based on the level you've reached in this class: 2nd level, once; 6th level, twice; and 18th level, thrice. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. (1/1 Long Rest)

With a final "Ready?" to the group, Mort leads the way out of the old Thieve's Guild building and around the building, following the path he had laid out for everyone. The initial quick walk was nothing spectacular, but the the same could not be said for the view of the plateau and the castle atop it when viewed from the alley between the old guildhall and whatever the couple of other buildings were. The plateau rose up from a flattened plaza of smooth granite cobbles at the end of the alley, the same that make up all of the roads in this section of town. It was easily thirty or forty feet high, and one could only imagine the engineering required to have basically leveled the top of a small mountain on which to build the castle. A fairly steep set of wide stone stairs were carved in to the granite of the plateau around the plateau to the right. The work was ornate, and while details couldn't be picked out from this distance it was obvious that there was a large amount of carved detail work in both the stair facings and the walls of the stairwell. By contrast, the sides of the plateau had been worked to a sleep smooth slope of stone. Beyond the stairs a surprisingly clean looking villa blocks the view of the gardens that Mort mentioned. This close to the plateau it is difficult to see much detail in the castle above it, although the windows on the higher floors and towers in the sun glint like a multifacitated gem. Many of the windows were stained glass of designed rendered illegible due to angle, but the colors are reflected about the courtyard below. Even though they can't be seen, you all can faintly hear the moans and groans and stranger sounds of the undead wandered the top of the plateau. There were a couple of zombies milling about in the plaza, but being well prepared, the group was able to swiftly and mostly silently destroy them. Mort begins moving to the left along the alley between the plateau and the cluster of shops that face out into this space. Those of the groups that linger a little or move a little slower than the rest can note that these shops were obviously once a clothier and the other was some form of apothacary. Glancing through the tattered drapes covering broken windows and shattered doors show darkened mercantile spaces still packed with various sets of clothing and even leather armors and mostely shattered glassware but ample cabinetry that appeared relatively unscathed. At the far end of the alley, looking out into the courtyard Mort draws to stop, holding out a hand to halt anyone following closely to him. He swore softly as he stared out into the large open square. Nearly a dozen zombies meandered in the square. Mort beckoned everyone to withdraw somewhat, fills in the rest of the group on the problem and says, "I thought this was going too well. We could try to take them, but if anyone else has any ideas on how to maybe draw them off or something, now would be the time to pitch it."

Kain nods to Mort, drawing his blade he prepares himself. "We should set some kind of formation. I suggest myself up front with Mort in case we run into trouble." Kain looks to the others for a moment before continuing. "Perhaps Falken should be near the rear with his ranged bow, as should Haakon with his magics. Harin should stay near the middle with Karlov so they can easily reach any of the others with their healing and other magics." Kain looks to Violet and seems to hesitate before giving her a small bow. "I am sorry my dear Lady, I do not know you or your abilities so perhaps you can find a position for yourself, and in the future we can talk about your abilities." Kain looks out and around carefully trying to spot anything that might be a problem in their immediate surroundings, but is to distracted by the movement across the street. OOC Movement: — Action: Perception— Bonus Action: — Reaction: —

Mort shrugged, his gaze still on the street outside. "Never know when some zombie is just wandering around, you know? Anymore, you should always be expecting trouble." He pointed across the wide street outside and added, "That was one of the best fruit markets in town, once. Now, you can only see something shambling in the back." As he called attention to it, everyone who cared to look could see some shadow of movement through the broken windows at one end of the building. Nodding to himself, Mort looked to the group gathering behind. "Ok," he started, "This is the fun part. We go out here and around the building to the right, through the alley. Wait for everyone to gather up, and move down the alley towards the plateau, you'll know it when you see it, 'cause the castle's on top. From the alley we're going to go to the left around the the plateau. Don't go right, we want to avoid the gardens, go left. Follow the plateau around until you hit the stairs, wait for everyone to catch up. Then we cut across the square to the old garrison. If we can, we go right and slip between the garrison wall and the plateau. If that route is blocked, we go around the garrison the other way. Finally cut across the street to the old merchant guildhouse by the docks. Then just a quick stroll down to the shoreline and find the secret entrance." He smiled, although his scarred lip twisted the expression into something else. "Easy peasy, right?"

Now, it's just a ruined empty shell, much like the rest of this world. Off all the places the Mists could have taken her to, why this one? What a depressing place. Yet, at the same time, the people here still had hope and cling to life, even though it seemed hopeless. This impressed Violet the most. The hope they had. But at the same time, she just wanted out of this place. But until then, she would do her best in helping these people's hopes alive. As the others take a look in the room that they have just came to, Violet stands back a couple of feet behind them. She stands guard, watching behind the, just in case there are other things in this house besides themselves.

Yeah, that's totally fine.

Karlov doesn't want a crossbow, it's heavy and he probably can't hit the broadside of a barn. You're welcome to the bolts

Kain will also leave some of his stuff behind with his followers and the refugees. Kain will also let Karlov use his Light Crossbow if he wants to, if not he would gladly accept the spare bolts. Leaving behind the Dungeoneer’s Pack, Fine Cloths, and House Banner for 69 LBS off his weight. New weight is about 70.5 now add two rations and two torches on him for 74.5 or just 75/285lbs. Sound good DM? I just don't want to have to go back and edit my already made post lol

Taking a cue from Karlov, Falken leaves a few things behind, hoping those would still be there when... if they return. As a token of good faith, he gives 4 of his rations to Mort and his group. "It's not much, but I trust these will be helpful to you." He leaves a few items he doesn't expect to use, such as the tent he bartered a few days ago, his iron pot, shovel, and 4 of his remaining rations, keeping only 2. Likewise, he hopes he won't need 10 torches, keeping 2 with him and leaving the other 8 behind. His backpack hasn't been this light in months, giving the Human the impression of floating over the floor. A fleeting moment of enjoyment washes over him before reality brings him back. On the way, Falken remains silent. He almost proposes himself to be the first through, but Kain beats him to it, and the hunter realizes the knight is probably the best equipped to deal with an immediate threat. He remains behind, bow in hand, and quivers within easy reach. Mort's memories of the kitchen triggers memories for Falken as well, mostly centered on his wife and daughter, before they were dragged into this hell. His hand briefly moves to touch the flowers on his chest. "I imagine things used to be similar to what I had in my home world. What happened in this world is beyond comprehension..." As they get to the last door, Falken moves closer to take a peek as well. Actions Perception

"I have these bolts, but had to barter away my crossbow on the journey here. Not that I could ever use it that well. Unless anyone else wishes to replenish their supply before leaving it seems foolish to carry them." It did not leave him entirely unencumbered, but every little helped. Karlov did his best to pick his way through the ruined city, carrying the confidence of Willa's faith in them. Thankfully the journey in darkness this time was much shorter, and lacked the same dark mirror to his past. Still, it was only Mort's lantern and the borrowed duty to protect the refuge that saw him through. He emerged swiftly and with no little relief back into open air, breathing deeply of the musty wood. Throughout the journey he did his best to remain quiet, but focused more on rooting out any signs of trouble, his hooded grey eyes quick to scour any suspicious cranny. Given his nature that covered much of the broken rooms. OOC Action: — Bonus Action: — Movement: — Reaction: — Object Interaction: — Concentration: — Actions & Resources Actions: Mace . Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d8 + 0 bludgeoning damage. Toll the Dead . V,S: Wis Sv., 60 ft., one creature you can see. Failed Save: 1d8 Necrotic damage / 1d12 Necrotic damage if injured. Sacred Flame . V,S: Dex Sv. (no cover), 60 ft., one creature you can see. Failed Save: 1d8 Radiant damage. Bonus Actions: Spare the Dying . V,S: 30 ft., one living creature that has 0 Hit Points. The creature becomes stable. Reactions: Class Features: Eyes of the GraveAt 1st level, you gain the ability to occasionally sense the presence of the undead, whose existence is an insult to the natural cycle of life. As an action, you can open your awareness to magically detect undead. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any undead within 60 feet of you that isn't behind total cover and that isn't protected from divination magic. This sense doesn't tell you anything about a creature's capabilities or identity.: 2/4 (Long Rest) Detect Magic: 1/1 (Long Rest) Detect Poison and Disease: 1/1 (Long Rest) Channel Divinity: 1/1 (Short Rest) Path to the GraveYou can use your Channel Divinity to mark another creature’s life force for termination. As an action, you choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you, cursing it until the end of your next turn. The next time you or an ally of yours hits the cursed creature with an attack, the creature has vulnerability to all of that attack's damage, and then the curse ends. Turn UndeadAs an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action. Harness Divine PowerYou can expend a use of your Channel Divinity to fuel your spells. As a bonus action, you touch your holy symbol, utter a prayer, and regain one expended spell slot, the level of which can be no higher than half your proficiency bonus (rounded up). The number of times you can use this feature is based on the level you've reached in this class: 2nd level, once; 6th level, twice; and 18th level, thrice. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. (1/1 Long Rest)

Kain was the first of the ladder, with Mort following close behind. The ladder lead to what was once a sizeable kitchen, although given to the same kind of damage as the basement. A hole, nearly twelve feet long and three feet wide, exposed the grey sky above. A massive tree branch from the gigantic overhanging willow tree had dropped at some point, creating this new skylight, but also allowing a years worth of weather to parade through the room. It was little surprise to find this former kitchen thoroughly caked with dirt, leaves and other detrius blown in through the roof and the warped window shutters. Mort shook his head as he surveyed the wreckage. "I haven't been back in here in a few months. It's sad. During my apprenticeship days I used to hang out with the kitchen boys all the time, looking for chances to steal stuff as the cooks worked." He shared with a light laugh. "Hell, I'm pretty sure I once broke my ankle falling off of this very branch. Oh well. The quickest way out is through here." He leads the group through into another room, a large dining hall complete with massive table and numerous smashed and broken chairs and huge hutch once filled with wooden bowls and cups. The bowls, cutlery and cups have been thrown about the room, smashed and destroyed like the chairs. A corkboard, with a weathered and faded sign hanging over it on the wall reading 'Jobs', covers much of one wall. Numerous faded and torn flyers and scrolls remain affixed to it, although some also litter the floor. Mort barely pauses, walking to the slightly open double doors at the far end of the room. Three other doors, two standing open to various degrees, provide other exits from the room. Down a short hallway, through another already open door into what must have once been an entry antechamber. What furniture was here has been broken to splinters, the tapestries torn from the walls and even the carpets were sodden and discolored with a strong smell of mold and decay. Mort steps up to the only other door in the room, which was hanging from only a single hinge, and peered outside. "Looks clear for the moment," he says in barely a whisper.

Not at all. Please feel free to trade and drop equipment back in the survivor base as you like.

Bummer... I just realized it would have been a good time to drop some stuff and get rid of encumbrance. , do you mind if we drop some stuff before leaving?

If there was to be much more traveling by foot, he would have to think about getting rid of some things to lighten the load. Meanwhile, there was a task at hand. Before heading out with the others he wondered if there was anything in his chest that might be useful. He grabbed one flask of oil and tucked it into a pocket, then caught up with the rest. When the group made it to the basement, Harin looked at the remains of what must have been someone's life. He sifted through the documents briefly before they crumbled in a wet mass between his fingers. He mourned the knowledge of this strange land that had surely been lost forever. When Kain offered to go first, like he had done a dozen times already, it was no surprise to Harin. "We're right behind you." OOC Movement: — Action: — Bonus Action: — Reaction: —

It would have been grand to see what this place was like in its heyday. Daydreaming can wait. For now, Haakon purses his lips and follows suit.

Mort lead the way through the tunnels, a surprisingly short trip, emerging into a dark and reeking basement. The floorboards overhead are obviously water soaked, warped and wavy. The lantern that Mort carried to provide light for everyone revealed a room scattered with the water-logged and decaying remains of the contents of several boxes and crates that have burst and split, spilling now unreadable documents and rusted metallic components, nearly indistiguishable piles of gears and bent peices of metal, across the brick floor. A ladder leads up to an obviously warped and swollen trap door. The ladder seemed safe to climb based on simple observation, and the cracks in the floor overhead were large enough that one could see the sun dappled emptiness of the room above. Mort looked around as everyone came into the room, closing the rusted iron gate to the tunnels behind the group. He gave everyone a smile and said, "Who wants to take the lead going up? I'd say watch your feet, but that should be pretty obvious."
