"Much better. Now to make an exit..."

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 804):

You are going to have to move about twelve yards of earth to effect an exit.

The wall holding the portcullis with the worm on the other side shudders, and the portcullis falls, releasing the worm... luckily there are three rotted gnolls nearby...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 805):

Once Kirpich has moved about half the earth, he will move some to half close the tunnel behind the group, leaving enough space for air...before continuing his tunneling.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 806):

"Are all of us reckoned for? Sing out, afore he closes the path!"

I certainly am...

Danos, not being comfortable in such tight spaces, is staying very close to Kirpich so that he won't get crushed by the moving earth.

"I believe I am safe from the walls."

Stringfellow is in there as well, at the back watching for enemy movement.

In reply to Stringfellow Hill (msg # 810):

Not wanting to leave any behind, Kirpich ensures Chunky is there too, and waits to be sure all others are there before narrowing the path.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 811):

"And I am here, ready to light our way."

In reply to Marlena DuBois (msg # 812):

The tunnel Kirpich is making is a yard wide by two high.

From what area are you carving it? From the throne room and its approach, or the upper level?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 813):

As far from the entrance on the upper level as possible would be logical...

Were there any hills or terrain features on the surface that we can take advantage of to aim between our new route and the main entrance?

In reply to Stringfellow Hill (msg # 815):

There was a portion of wall you may be coming up on the opposite side of.

To be as far from the entrance as possible, you would unfohave to dig out from a deeper level

Looking at some energy cost.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 816):

How much further from the entrance would the deeper level allow, and how much deeper would it be?

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 817):

You need 10 yards up, oe a climbable slope of 15 long by two yards high to be moved. (3/4/5 right triangle for calculation)

In reply to Narrator (msg # 818):

In message 208 I rolled 5 shape stone rolls. Are more needed? He can move 2 cubic yards for free with each casting, taking extra time to ensure he gets the supports right.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 819):

At that rate you have ten more rolls, unless you want to spend fatigue.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 820):

Nah. Slow and steady wins the race. Save strength for when he needs it.

But he will put in a few stone supports, just to be safe.

[Private to GM: Is the -5 to his spells still in force? Assuming not, due to destruction of glyphs, he rolled under by 4,13,7,9,5,11,12,8,8,9 and extras 10, 10 just to be sure.

Earth to stone for supports, rolled under by 11,11,8,9,11,11]

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 821):

This makes an effective tunnel with bracing.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 822):

Once the surface is breached and ramps made to the top, Kirpich will allow warriors or scouts to exit first.

Syvanus goes out with an arrow nocked, exiting carefully and looking all around.




[Private to GM: 19:04, Today: Syvanus rolled 10 using 3d6.  Perception.  by 3]

Since he was at the back, Stringfellow will wait for the others to clear a path before he exits as well. He pulls out his bow and gets ready.

Bow and arrow at the ready, Danos exits the tunnel with the rest of the group.

In reply to Danos (msg # 826):

Kalvo and the others are out of sight, a low wall blocking them, but you can hear the sound of a horse nickering.

Syvanus motions the others forward and points away from Kalvo and company ... he leads them to a location of better concealment and looks for a concealed escape route.


[Private to GM: 11:04, Today: Syvanus rolled 14 using 3d6.  Perception.  missed it by one]
