In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 740):

The gate creaks open, the lock being a little stiff. Beyond is a narrow dusty hall with recent footprints (several).
The hall turns before ending in a spiral staircase.


Per checks

In reply to Narrator (msg # 741):

Hogarth looks ahead, crossbow ready...

[Private to GM: Rolled 2 under per.]

Urrun listens and smells the surrounds even as he looks down the tunnel.




[Private to GM:  19:09, Today: Urrun rolled 11 using 3d6.  Perception. Skill is 12; 13 for hearing and 15 for smell]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 743):

You spot runes traced in the dust at the base of the stairs and up the walls around them!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 744):

"Magic! I'll wager it will not be nice, either. Can any of you deal with it?" he asks, pointing it out.

Sweep away?

In reply to Urrun (msg # 746):

"You want to try?"

He shrugs... give sweep brush and holds his hand out

In reply to Urrun (msg # 748):

Hogarth pauses, then hands him his rolled up sleeping mat.

Urrun looks at it, shrugs and goes forward to sweep away the runes

In reply to Urrun (msg # 750):

Urrun feels a slight tingle in his arm, and loses 1fp, but is able to brush away the runes.

He shakes the bedroll off and hands it back  Make arm feel ... sleep He flexes and moves the arm around.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 752):

"Thank you. Hopefully are will wake up again soon. Shall we continue on?"

He packs his bedroll back away after shaking it off. Crossbow ready, he leads on.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 753):

The spiral staircase continues upward, you are not certain which god this temple is dedicated to, but you have a suspicion that it isn't being used for that purpose.
[Private to Narrator: the temple is of Flora and Janus, and had been home to orgies; also it is a place attuned to gate magic. Statues of Flora show her robed and with a crown of flowers and garlands of the same, janus has two faces. The usual demonologists and cultists, with a succubus that looks wingless and flower crowned, mixed gender cultists - a sex cult front to an elder thing cult. There is a lurking demon from between the stars]

In reply to Narrator (msg # 754):

"Upward, huh? Lets clear it now we are here..."

He starts up the stairs, crossbow ready...quietly.

[Private to GM: Rolled 1 under stealth.]

Urrun figures that means he should get his sling out and does so ... with a plain lead projectile.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 756):

Goran reignites his flail with a short prayer to Hors.

Shadows dance about the curved walls of the stairwell.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 757):

Per rolls all!

In reply to something in the darkness (msg # 758):

Hogarth remains vigilant.

[Private to GM: Rolled 2 under per]

Urrun is on edge as he senses something



[Private to GM:   19:25, Today: Urrun rolled 5 using 3d6.  Perception. Crit!!]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 760):

You re able to perceive  The flicker of a humanoid shadow that darts away, to where you aren't sure,

In reply to something in the darkness (msg # 761):

Hograth looks intently, trying to use his darkvision to see where it went...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 762):

You can't see where it is... but Urrun's hackles rise!

He'll spin up his sling and launch a bullet at the target (assuming he can see/hit it)



[Private to GM: 16:37, Today: Urrun rolled 3 using 3d6.  Slinging sling stone. Wooo Hoo! a Super Crit
16:39, Today: Urrun rolled 8 Crushing using 2d6+3.  Sling Damage.]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 764):

That would actually hit it even with a -10

There is a low growl and you can briefly see a flicker of starlight in the shape of three eyes.  Something cold brushes past him, leaving frost on his fur.
