LMoP game thread

Medve, refusing to believe that the rest of the party could have been killed and taken away so quickly, assumes that at least a few of them might be hiding. Looking over to Shane he says, "I'm going to release the wolves. The fresh goblin meat should have satisfied their hunger for the time being, but you'll probably not want to be in plain site when I lead them out."

With that said, Medve will return to the wolves and try and release them.

Movith approaches the cave entrance, javelin in one hand and warhammer in the other, two humans beside him. "Hail!" he calls out. "Anyone here? Gundren, you here?!?" Turning to Arashi: "Looks like there've been some owlbears prowling around here. Maybe they attacked Gundren?"

When Medve shares that he plans to release the wolves, Shane will look for a suitable tree to climb to both steer clear of the wolves and to get a higher viewpoint of the area.

(not sure if acrobatics or athletics to climb trees, will roll both)

Egan scowls at the ground after hearing Movith call toward the cave. "Owlbears...I never liked 'em. I've seen what they can do to good folk and it isn't pretty."

Egan brandishes his mace toward the cave. "Gundren is too good of a man to be lost to them. If they are nearby, we'll be ready."

OOC: Are the Owlbears still within sight, or have they also vanished into the woods? Passive Perception: 13

Movith and Egan's other companion is a strange-looking one, even for an elf. His simple blue trousers end in curious leg wrappings and light sandals. He is obviously a warrior of some sort but his torso is bare, revealing coppery skin. Sheathed in his sash are two outlandish swords: one curved and one straight. There are prayer beads twined around his wrist. Strapped to his back is a longbow and a quiver of arrows fletched with the shiny purple feathers of some exotic creature. His slanted, almond-shaped, eyes seem to glitter bright amber from the shadow of his strange conical hat. This is Arashi Stormwind, Paladin of the Tempest.

The three fan out as they leave the treeline and cross the clearing, to converge at the cave mouth. Arashi glances askance at Movith when he calls out, but says nothing. He only grunts in reply to Egan but crouches to inspect the owlbear feathers and tracks.

Egan sees Arashi examining what the Owlbears left behind and wonders what information the Elf gleaned from them. He motions to Movith and says, "Cave?" and begins to walk, cautiously, toward the opening. He approaches the entrance and peers in, looking for evidence of Gundren, or foul play against our sought-after objective.

Passive Perception: 13

"That's something I don't usually see owlbears needing." Egan proceeds into the room with the chains.

OOC: Where is Medve at this point?

Movith moves to the entrance of the cave, and upon noticing the chains, thinks that Gundren's captors might be using the cave as a hideout. He follows Egan into the room on the right. As he does so, he stores his javelin and pulls out his shield.

Medve re-enters the cave, determined to investigate the slope that was in the wolves den. Upon entering the cave he will wait and let his dark vision adjust before slowly and quietly moving towards the wolves den.

OOC: I'm going to assume he was so involved in releasing the wolves he has yet to realize the two others have arrived.

Movith considers climbing the chimney, then scoffs. He re-enters the main chamber and notices Medve straight away. He doesn't look like a goblin.

"Halt! Make no sudden moves and you will not be harmed! We're looking for a Gundren Rockseeker."

Hearing Movith challenging someone in the cave, Arashi gets up from inspecting the owlbear feathers and advances quietly into the cave, both swords drawn.
