In reply to Narrator (msg # 959):

Mellarill will take a moment to check out each body she helps with for money or other goodies ... Brodak will do the same with others he carries.

Mario steps aside (well, more doesn't quite fall aside) to let Mellarill drag bodies past while keeping watch down the rightward corridor.

"That's five, counting the one left to talk.  I wonder how many more there are, and how many more traps they've left?"

In reply to Mellarill (msg # 961):

A couple of search rolls or per-4. Those not playing with the
bodies, per at -3. Grimbo, you have+3 on intimidation. Are
you questioning the prisoner, and how?

Mellarill doesn't seem to find much

[Private to GM:
19:28, Today: Mellarill rolled 10 using 3d6.  Per - 4. one over]

Brodak notices nothing...

[Private to GM:
19:31, Today: Brodak rolled 10 using 3d6.  Per -4  His per IS 10 ...]

Nodwin is watching and listening to what is going on in the area.

Jareth (and crew) is moving out into the tunnel to make room for the corpses...* "Shall we move t'e captive upstairs to talk to him?  Maybe me an Grimbo or Brodak, I got some charm, but maybe could use some muscle or intent to get 'im talkin."


He scratches his chin.  "Or we just keep him alive for t'e Hadereum.  Sure t'ey got some pointed, burning, questions t'ey'd like to ask him."







* OOC: 01:21, Today: Jareth Mooncalled rolled 11 using 3d6.  Perception 15, -3 (not playing with corpses): Needs a 12 or less.

Mario keeps watching down the rightward corridor, but sees and hears nothing new.

[Private to GM: 07:05, Today: Mario Crowfoot rolled 13 using 3d6.  Perception Check, -3.  Miss by several]

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 967):

Each of he cultists had a cheap rusty mace and a pouch with a
 few coins in addition to the necklaces with the wooden cross
things. Under the robes they have cheap normal clothing and
shoes. What is being collected?


[PRIVATE to Jareth Mooncalled: you can see a new light down
the left hand corridor which the three had come from]

Nodwin scratches his head. "I don't know how easy it will be to keep a prisoner as we move down here, we will have to leave someone behind to watch him. For now, just find out what he knows."

"Hmmm, we could tie him up when we done with t'e questions.  It's bad luck to kill prisoners."

Jareth steps back a moment and bumps into Mellarill and Jocelyn and whispers, "Light down t'e hall, keep your eyes out", then slips Akimbo to the ground and sends him down that way, "Check it out little buddy, no heroics."

Then moves over to the prisoner, "Let's get him upstairs so if he shouts, no one will hear him."



[Private to GM: Flipped a coin for Mercurial:  Jareth feels Charitable towards the prisoner.]

Grimbo sheathes his knife and starts dragging the man upstairs, unconcerned about any bumping and bruising.

OOC: Forgot how tired I am.

"Brodak, ya got this?" Grimbo suggests, ready to follow.

Mellarill trimmed any purses she found and took the coin.

In reply to Mellarill (msg # 973):

And the other gear, robes, maces, symbols ?

OOC: Multiple maces, while resellable, would clobber my encumbrance. But I think we should definitely take the symbols.

"Should we take off tha robes and hide'em, in case more come along? We could also mess up their faces."

OOC: Not cruel, but callous.

Unless they are silver or otherwise valuable, Mellarill couldn't care less; if they were silver, she'd have swiped them all as money in a different form.

Mellarill rejoins Jocelyn in the Hallway and nocks an arrow.

In reply to Grimbo (msg # 975):

So you are stripping the cultists of robes, symboks and weapins, and dragging the bodies upstairs?


[Private to Jareth Mooncalled: Akimbo gives the impression of more than one person, and anger]


Opening a new thread in a few pists, we have maybe 15 to go

In reply to Narrator (msg # 977):

OOC: Symbols, yes. Robes and dragging upstairs were suggestions I offered IC.

In reply to Grimbo (msg # 978):

Anyone handling the symbols needs to make a per check.

Make it exactly. More runes?

[Private to Narrator: 13:23, Today: Grimbo rolled 11 using 3d6.  PER 11.]

In reply to Grimbo (msg # 980):

The wooden cross shaped amulets are actualy curved knives
With "T" shaped handles that pull out of short wooden sheaths

Jareth stops helping Brodak get the captive upstairs, "Shit!  Brodak, back up Jocelyn and Mell!"

He turns to Charlene and Clarence, "Watch this guy, stab him until he stops movin if he give ya any trouble." Then to the captive, "Don't give 'em any trouble an you live.  Don't make any noise either!"

Jareth joins Nodwin and Grimbo, "T'ere are more of 'em down that way an t'ey gettin ready for us," He points down the left tunnel, "I recommend Brodak lead t'e charge followed by me, Jocelyn and Mellaril. T'e rest hold t'e door here in case we gotta flee and 'cause we don't know what's t'e ot'er way."


OOC: I figure this puts four of us to hopefully 'ambush' the cultist's before they can get any big ritual spells ready, 3 to guard the hall, and two to guard the captive and the stairs.

Brodak drops the cultist like a bad habit and heads for where Jocelyn is.
