Part 5: Return to the Moathouse Ruins

Upon completing his task, the wizard moves to and waits by the final room. His bloody blade (the one that has stuck in several creatures by now, as opposed to the jeweled one) waits in his hand, still glistening. "Not a copper nor a tooth that wasn't rat. I hope you were more successful in your gastrological expedition bore more fruit."

To Bors, "It is a shame you weren't brave enough to add Rat-Gorer to the list of names your sword has been accumulating."

Bors laughs. "How scared you must be if you think it takes bravery to cut open dead rats. And judging by what you have to show for it, my time was better sent scratching my ass. Shall I open this door for you, old man?"

Gilly marvels at the shield, and holds it above her head!

"Shield!" she announces to the echoey ruin.

"Can anyone make some use of this? Too pretty to sell, seems like!"

Apr 23, 2021 2:26 pm

"Is it prettier than the one you just bought me in town?"

Apr 23, 2021 5:27 pm

OOC:

Gilly would know it's far prettier than the one she bought Bors in town.

"Quite a bit nicer, yes! Are you looking for a second shield from me today?" Gilly laughs, flicking lizard guck off of her hands! She passes the shield over if Bors looks to want it!

Apr 24, 2021 1:15 pm

Bors gladly takes the shield and admires the beauty of it. "I'll leave the shield you bought me here for now and we can maybe return it to the shop when we leave this place. I'm sure they have a 30 day exchange policy. You kept the receipt, right?" Bors says as he tries out his new shield, doing mock shield bashes and blocking invisible attacks complete with sound effects.

Eltrezar waits patiently at the room as yet unexplored in this hallway. Besides the room in the south west corner as you enter the ruins over the rickety drawbridge, this is the last room on the ground level you have yet to explore. What is everyone else doing?

Apr 25, 2021 7:15 am

With his new shield in hand, Bors prepares to explore this new room with the wizard.

Apr 25, 2021 5:12 pm

OOC:

I assume Eltrezar and Bors are going to wait for the others to arrive, or do you wish to enter immediately?

OOC:

Eltrezar plans on waiting, but he'll support Bors should the warrior kick down the door immediately.

Now rejoined with Bors and Eltrezar, Mal prepares to enter the previously unexplored room with them. She shouts for the others to join them and once everyone arrives, they breech...

Gilly gathers around, bow at the ready. She’s set when they’re set. She’ll put an arrow in her bow, but wait to pull back if something jumps out

Apr 26, 2021 2:01 pm

When everyone is ready, Bors kicks open the door.

Apr 26, 2021 6:31 pm

With a crash the rotting door crashes open. Dust falls from the ceiling and walls at the disturbance of fresh air and you find before you what appears to be the moathouse kitchen. The remains of moldering foodstuffs and kitchen work tables are visible. A wooden cask sits near the fireplace on the north wall.

As the wizard moves to check the cask (hoping that there is something potable and alcoholic inside), he tells his group, "Somebody check the stove. The heat from fire is often not enough to melt valuables, and is a common hiding spot for treasure. If we find nothing, there is still the room near the entrance to check before continuing on. This floor is almost clear, and there seems to be no sign of anything returning."

Apr 26, 2021 11:33 pm

Gilly nods, giving the cask a wide berth, almost waiting to see what happens next. She busies herself with looking around the room!

Apr 27, 2021 12:56 am

Bors checks the fireplace.

Apr 27, 2021 8:46 am

"Watch out for giant... snakes or bats or something! Perfect hiding spot for them!"
