Second Darkness: Children of the Void [IC]

[AggressiveBread]

Santiago will make his way over to the tower with everyone else. As he passes he says, ”Not much to see over there, just empty ruins.” He’ll open the entrance when he gets there

[lostsole31]

Ago passes the party heading west and then south around the curve of the tower. But there is no entrance that way, and a cliff dropoff that keeps him from continuing around the south of the tower. Instead, the party will find the entrance on the south side of the service building connected to the tower, over on the eastern side.

The outer door was once soild oak, but now it hangs askew on its hinges. Ago manipulates it some and it comes falling off its hinges easily. Still, the reinforced windows, solid stone construction, and connection to the watchtower mark this building as a military structure of some kind. This is just a front passage going in 10' with a wall on the west near the end.

[AggressiveBread]

Nodding to his party members, Ago will start heading inside with weapon and shield drawn.

[lostsole31]

With weapon-and-shield drawn ... Ago gets to the door.

Who follows in behind him? Shall I just assume a random, semi-sensible follow?

[Kvard51]

Lev sets the blade of his sword on his shoulder and follows behind Ago.

[lostsole31]

Sol stands just outside the doorway, standing behind Lev.

With the hallway and entrance taken, Ago, what now?

[AggressiveBread]

Santiago will enter the tower to look around. He slowly twists his wrist, swinging his flail in little circles as he goes. In the closed space, the jingling of his armor and adornments sounds like a giant shaking a bag of 1,000 coins. This doesn’t seem to bother him though.

[lostsole31]

While there is a sense of dread in this place, the group had gone through too many builds such that Ago and Lev let their guard down. As soon as Ago opens the door, he and Leve recoil from the stench of death just enough to distract them from the dangers beyond.

Surprise Round ...

S11: Blue slams Ago with a low strike to his shin for 7.

Begin Round One ...

R1T24: Kwava delays ...

R1T23: Sol calls to Ago, "Whatcha' see?"

R1T20: Tsyra, your back is to a cliff, and what you can see is a completely full passage with no throughway. What do you do?

[rypt]

Conjuring an earthen blade as a precaution, Tsyra steps backwards to give room to Lev and Santiago in the event they wish to step out of the entranceway.

R1T16: Lev, what do you do?

[Kvard51]

R1T15: Brown bites Ago in his left hand with a soft crit for 10, with claws screeching off his armor.

R1T14: Ago, you have shield in hand, but not weapon ... as you were busy opening a door. What do you do?

[AggressiveBread]

Ago yells out in pain, his face twists into a furious grimace as he calls down Abadar’s divine power on this zombie. He initiates a maneuver when he bites that opens lev up to attack. He calls out ”There’s at least three in there! I could use some medical help Visto!”

I could use some medical help Visto!”

Lev's AOO clangs off the side of the wall, nearly bouncing back on himself.

R1T13-10: Red and Green snarl menacingly. Ganmeed is aware of danger. Blue attacks Ago, completely missing.

R1T5: Visto, what do you do?

Kwava on deck, Sol in the hole ...

End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T24: Kwava moves north along the building, looking out for any other hostiles.

R2T23: Sol flies in and just above Lev and Ago. He reaches out, and though he has a little trouble with the doorjamb, he still touches Blue's shoulder to scorch and destroy the void zombie! "There's a spot open!" he calls out.

R2T20: Tsyra, your readied action never went off. What do you do?

Ozzy/ Ginny on deck ....

R2T20: Trusting in Sol's words, Tsyra prays for the guidance of Findeladlara as she rushes into the building to assist the apparently unwounded and not-outnumbered Santiago. She slashes Red in the head for 21, cutting open its head and revealing its ruined, prion-ridden brain. The skull part she separated dangles along the right side of its head, slapping against its cheek, held in placed by greasy hair and twisting skin.

R2T17: Ozzy, your readied action never happened. An opening was called, but then was likely taken by Tsyra. What do you do? What do you have Ginny do?

Lev on deck, Brown in the hole ...

R2T15: Brown slams Tsyra in her hip for 1 mod, swings with the other fist, and meanwhile its tongue flails about, trying to get to her.

R2T14: Ago, your smite has faded since Blue has been sent to their final rest. What do you do?
