Adventure Thread - Atarin's Delve

Bart reaches up to object to Slae's leaving, but the mage is gone before he gets a chance. "Bye, I guess... More pay for us I guess!" the tall warrior says grinning to his remaining party members.

"Well, with Slae leaving, Gertrude will have to bite a bit harder."

Bart pulls out a small jar of weapon paste while Alden skins the lizards. Once Alden is finished, Bart will have a look around the carvern.

Wow Bart, when you mentioned mounting a lizard's head to your wall, I did not though someone would take you literally... Well, I guess Alden knows what he's doing. Farewell Slae. I guess I could strap my shield to my back and hold the torch for a while, you need both hands to wield Gertrude after all Bart.

Alden finishes his work and turns around...

"Hey where did the elf go?"

He went away claiming this adventure would not further his magical knowledge or something like that... Would it be funny if we end up finding a bunch of magic baubles and scrolls?

"indeed. His loss!" Bart proclaims, satisfied that Gertrude is extra keen with a paying of weapon paste.
Shall we carry on with making ourselves richer?

Agreed. Same marching order as before, so far it seems to be working, so why fix what is not broken. I'll close the march holding the torch.

Esteber straps his wooden shield to his back and grabs the torch in his off-hand.

Nobody needs some medical attention before we leave. I have but a scratch, but Bart, that thing looked like it took a good chunk out of you, Will you be alright?

(OOC: I assume we caught out breath while Alden was skinning the lizards...)

"What if one of these dead workers is our supposed employer?"

Maybe, maybe not. I think for now we need to continue with the assumption our employer is still alive. If he is dead, or we simply cannot find him, we'll report back to the guild. But for now we need to keep searching... speaking of searching, maybe we should look on these corpse for clues... and equipments which might help us which those poor souls obviously won't need anymore...

Esteber gives a cursory look of the bodies.

(OOC: Ah! I actually succeeded that! XD )

"Huh, worker bees for making their dirty murals." Bart scowls as he looks over Esteber's shoulder.

Esteber starts doing teh Freelands version of "eenie, meenie, mo" and it falls on the northern passage which looks cut.

Well, this is as good a choice as any, unless there are objections...

(OOC: I simply rolld 1d5 IRL. XD )

No objections, led the way warrior

You heard the man, lead the way Bart!

"Let me check this door fellow adventurers."

Alden will try to listen to see if he can detect anyone on the other side and try to detect traps, but won't try to open it yet (this will depend on the listen roll).

Alden let's the others know his findings.

"what do you think friends? maybe we could block this door from this side to avoid whomever is inside to catch us offguard?" whispers to the adventurers.
