In reply to Urrun (msg # 95):

His lamp lit, Hograth stows his axe and pick on his pack and assists the Dogman...keeping an eye open around him.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 96):

Ooc waiting on a corrected reroll.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 97):

By whome?

OOC: I think Ketil? There was a post in OOC about using d20s instead of 3d6, and Ketil is the only one with d20 rolls in the dice roller log.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 99):

The dwarf carefully removes several bricks from the dome without collapsing it, releasing a foul deathly stench.  There is now an opening about a yard wide.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 100):

Hograth will ready his crossbow and look through the hole to see what he can see.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 101):

About 8 yards down from the top of the dome you can dimly make out some faint pale shapes. The smell of death is overpowering.

Urrun, who's sense of smell was (as far as he was aware) far more sensitive than the others, shook his head and widened his eyes before he blinked them clear.

"Wow, that's...potent" he coughed. He did not feel the need to remind the others that this was coming from one who had occasionally eaten carrion, so that was saying something.

"You...ah want me to help lower you down?" He asked Goran and Hograth, looking between them

In reply to Urrun (msg # 103):

"Hang on..."

He lines up the figures to see if they move or are alive/animated.

[Private to GM: Night Vision 5 help to see what they are?]

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 104):

"How about one of those lightstones?"


[Private to GM: Sorry for they break.  Family issues.]

"We've got two already going, but I'll be happy to make you another when next we have some time to rest. Right now it looks like we may have disturbed something."

OOC: Takes me 15 mins to recover the energy, so I'll cast it next time we have a break.

Ketil works carefully, securing the opening and tying a long rope to a solid pillar, capable of supporting twice the weight of the heaviest member of their group.  Then he slowly lowers the rope down the opening, counting out the footage as he does.  Once done, he sticks his head carefully into the hole and looks to see what he can of the space around it and below it.

In reply to Ketil Deepwalker (msg # 107):

The floor of the dome is about nine yards down. There is a mass of days old corpses below, laid out face up, wearing onky smallclothes and shoes.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 108):

Using his headlight, can Hograth see anything alive/undead?

Urrun watched as Ketil set up the anchor and fed out the rope, taking note of the knots and of how far down they were planning on climbing. Although not armored, the Gnoll was significantly larger than the others, so a healthy dose of concern for his own safety seemed mixed in.

He lingered near the opening with the others, watching, listening and trying not to breath too deeply.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 110):

Soemthing is moving around out of the light cast by the opening in the dome... and one of the bodies in the circle of light is twitching...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 111):

Hograth will turn his headlight towards the movement, with the crossbow aiming there as well...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 112):

Something with a distorted shape darts away after the light shines on it...

[Private to Hograth Podkarmen: make an undead lore roll]

"Looks like we have undead, lets throw down some oil and light those bodies! Anybody have any spare oil?"

"I have no oil. I have two flasks of holy water, but I don't know if that would work," Goran says.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 114):

"Nobody else have oil? What about magic for burning the area? I have one flask of oil, but would prefer to keep the last one in reserve for lamps if it is needed."

Goran shakes his head. "I could ignite your blade, but to engulf an area of that size in fire is not within my capabilities."

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 117):

Hograth will get out his flask of oil and empty it on the ground and bodies below.

"All right. Someone drop a torch, then lets get down there! We all ready?"

Urrun looked down and scratched at his neck before he glanced between the Dwarves and gave a nod. "Yeah...let's get this over with"

Goran unhooks his morningstar and nods his readiness.
