The structure is in disrepair, and the sides are covered in green moss. It is topped by an observatory, complete with the largest telescope any of you have seen. On the way to the tower, you also discover the home and workshop of a bowyer and fletcher. The proprietor is an elf whom you see sitting on the porch, carving arrow shafts. A sign on the wizard spire's front door reads DO NOT DISTURB. What do you do? ** OOC: See updated Helix map Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excior Posted April 15 Clone Share Posted April 15 Allen spends his time after returning to town helping to sell the items recovered from the barrows he follows the group to the inn and gets a room for the night. and spends his time listening to the locals and other treasure seekers if present to try and overhear any rumors that may be valuable. OOC: sorry for such a bad post just wanted to put something up to stay inline with everybody. I cant find the treasure thread.

Ephkabey Posted April 16 Clone Share Posted April 16 Serpe looks a the sign in disappointment, "If he's asked to be left alone, we should honor that request. The man may be available later or perhaps we can find someone to assist us in another town later on. We should head to the moors regardless, as we're wasting daylight."

cailano Posted April 16 Author Clone Share Posted April 16 It takes some time to purchase the mule and cart and to hitch the two together. By the time you're ready to go, it is 8:30 am. If you leave now, you can make it to the Barrow Mounds by midday, giving you a few hours to explore before you need to return. Did you ask Tamson to join you today? If so, he's ready to head out.

Sellsword Posted April 16 Clone Share Posted April 16 "Agreed!" Dougal exclaims. While skeptical that the cart and donkey are actually needed, he's certainly appreciative of the group's optimism. "And if we run into Bertrand again, perhaps we can liberate young Gern. I believe we might try a diplomatic approach as opposed to inviting violence, but of course we must be careful whichever route we take. The Barrowmounds await!" Dougal will throw an arm around Tamson's shoulder. "I believe you might be our lucky charm, young man. Lead the way!"

" What do you say, my friend, Join us for a full share of treasure." Allen gives Tamson a reassuring smile as he tries to convince the young guide to join their group.

cailano Posted April 16 Author Clone Share Posted April 16 The Barrow Mounds: Third Expedition June 29th, 1183 King's Reckoning Over the next few hours, you make your way back to the Barrow Mounds. You've only just arrived, noting the now-familiar silence that pervades the Barrow Moor proper when Tamson raises his fist to call a halt. You crouch down in the marsh grass, following his gaze. There, about sixty feet from you, are a trio of giant scorpions, each about half the size of your new mule. The scorpions are feasting on the body of an unfortunate, would-be tomb robber. You can't tell if you recognize the person yet. All you can see are their boots. The scorpions seem unaware of you, but there isn't an easy way around them. Your path extends to the east and is only twenty feet wide. It is bordered to the north and south by standing water. On the other hand, the scorpions' tails bear stingers the size of kitchen knives, and you imagine they pack a lethal dose of venom. What do you do?

Sellsword Posted April 16 Clone Share Posted April 16 Dougal rummages around in his pack for a moment, withdrawing three earthenware flasks. He gives each of them a tap with a fingernail, a wicked smile on his face. "I happen to have a couple of these for situations such as this." Unwilling to abandon the riches that surely lie ahead, he casts a look to everyone else in the party. If so, he'll hand two of the bottles to whoever might want them, keeping the third for himself.

Raistlinmc Posted April 16 Clone Share Posted April 16 "I say we shoot 'em and bring 'em ta us," Zaivie says in a hushed whisper, eying the situation thoughtfully. "Path's narrow and they ain't got arrows like us. They'll have ta charge us one by one prob'ley I got me a bow, I know our archer does too...anyone else? If ya got ranged weapons, let's use 'em; if not, be ready for 'em when they come chargin' at us who're shootin'. What'd'ya think, boys?"

Raistlinmc Posted April 16 Clone Share Posted April 16 Zaivie does as Tamson says, moving back as quietly as she can. She figured he probably knows something she doesn't, which isn't a terribly uncommon feeling for the warrior woman.

The moors were eerily silent as usual beyond the stamping of boots in mud. As the group encountered something, the archer's eyes shot wide and he began to look all around for danger. Then Tamson pointed out the scorpions and Cyrus' heart skipped a beat. He felt faint and then the trembling in his breath. As silence was again called, Cyrus pulled an arrow free and nocked it on his bow. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
