PBEM - Episode 445. Tactics and South again

FOUR HUNDRED FORTY FIVE

(I/C)

Glancing behind into the fire lit gloom, Abraxas gave the party a quick shove. "Andale amigos. Sanctuary y beyond!"

“Relax there, Mistakes Ranger,” Lannis cautioned. “Inviso Hobs and other shit, ok?”

Wyn nodded, glancing into the room. “No one in dere.” He pointed to the Sanctuary. “H'okay... we need ta hide. Confuse dem ta think we got away. To de secret room, eh?”

"We're only gonna get one chance to make them think we got away,” Lannis looped his thumbs into the lapel of his robe and tried to look heroic. “No messing around, let's get into that room and get quiet. Alright ladies, let's go."

“Wipe your tears,” Lyra commented, following Kovid into the room. “Let’s move on.”

Rubbing his face on the sleeve of his robe, Lannis complained, “I wasn’t crying.”

“Whatever,” she replied.

“Abraxas, take dem in. We need ta let dem tink we left, too.”

“Si! Senor Blowfeld, stay here with the lantern so we can see.”

With Kovid at the entrance of the Sanctuary, shining his lantern down the hall and into the chamber, Wyn ran to the far door and dragged the game case out of the way. “I go in ta de sanctuary afta de dwarf. In case dere be anytin hidden. I shoot it. Oui?”

“Just hurry, Elffriend.”

Wyn ran back, bow still out, and realized his spell had come to an end. “Dats dat. Let’s go. Allons-y”

The party entered the Sanctuary and crossed the chamber to the south door, past the broken statue. Brendon was already there and had hissed to the party to be silent. We waited until he assured us (no roll needed) there was no sound within and the door was not wedged. The party entered and found ourselves in the Chapel once again. From the 3 goblinoid bodies still here and nothing else out of place, the feeling was that no one had been here since we were.

Giving a look around, Kovid pointed to the chair at the table and then sat in it. He rocked back and pressed the release, and the secret door along the west wall clicked open. Leaning forward, the dwarf then stood up and wiped his beard clean. “Okay, Big Brain, you can cry magic or whatever it’s called.”

Looking into the secret chamber, Lannis scowled and said, “For the last time…I wasn't crying."

“Whatever, Sissy Mary,” Lyra smirked.

Time now is Day 10, 11:54 AM

(OOC)

Invisible Brendon – 1 mins

Ok! You’re here. You made it this far. All in and shut the door? Right now the Hobs do not know exactly where you guys are and there are more fires lit than they expected there to be. Ritual? Scry? What is the end plan here?
