In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 325):

Hograth is uncertain in that regard, and hence leaving a guard...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 326):

A search or per-2 roll might be in order first.

Goran is too involved in his discussion of Theology to effectively search the area.

[Private to GM: 11:56, Today: Secret Roll: Goran the Marked rolled 15 using 3d6.  If involved, Search 13.]

I help search ...


[Private to GM:  12:18, Today: Urrun rolled 10 using 3d6.  Perception. Normal by 2, smell by 5 ]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 329):

Urrun notices that the key in the hand of the statue that isn't pointing smells of hand, much like the grips on the base do.

Goran is busy talking about burial rites, when he notices Urrun sniffing at the off hand of the statue.  "Urrun has found something.  That off hand, something is strange about it."

Stenet follows Hograth's lead and pokes heavily into everything making sure things are clear.




OOC:   16:45, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 10 using 3d6.  Per 10 (Skill 12-2).

So MoS +0 for everyday stuff, MoS +2 if it's Demonic or Undead related, MoS +1 if it involves Evil Magic.

Narrator:

I think you mean Urrun there boss.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 332):

Corrected.  It was Urrun.

The key looks like it could move...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 333):

Hograth is distracted by Urruns behavior, and noticing the key in the hand, he has a look at it moving it to work out what it does.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 334):

The key slides up and down, almost a foot. when you push it down there is a heavy clicking sound at the base of the statue.

"Sounds like it's locked.  Should be clear to give the hill a proper sweep and make sure nothing will be coming at us from behind."

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 336):

"Lets check to be sure..."

He tries to move the statue, and checks to see if any gate is open.

"This would allow us to come along. It would be better for everyone, in case of trouble."

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 338):

The statue can lock while pointing at each gate, and pointing at the doorway to the main room, with all gates secured.

So far your searches have turned up no more cultists, although there were signs of several having fled from the site.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 339):

Dead ones I assume, or do they fight us?  Are there any other rooms or items we need to search, or has the whole hill been checked.

Hograth Podkarmen:

OOC:  Even if it's been checked over, not a bad idea to sweep it again, try to close off any area that can be closed off, so when we go through we don't have someone/thing sneaking back and locking us on the other side of a gate.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 341):

By signs of cultists fleeing, there are places where ornamental shrubbery and flowerbeds have been trampled. Nearby is the Redoubt of Vejovis,  the shrine of Priapus, the chapel of Hera, the temple of Jove, and the temple of Minerva. Past those are the temple of Helios and the empty grove of Eos, each a fair distance from the other. Beyon that are the abandoned temple of Atlas, which you had explored, the Hadereum,  and by the docks, the temples of Dionysius and Poseidon.

Smaller shrines are scattered about.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 342):

Check all, testing for taint and warning of what had transpired. It may take some time, but needs to be done properly.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 343):

Temple hill is a few miles long and runs the length of the city. That is a search of several days, and any fleeing cultists could have cleared out in the time itbtook you to go to the Hadereum.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 344):

Once we have covered the hot spots, we would feel obliged to ensure the rest of the hill is cleared, so even if it was to take a few days, perhaps fast forward it because that was from my memory the primary task we were required to carry out. Ensuring the gates are cleared would be secondary.

OOC:  If it's up for discussion, Stenet would agree to taking the time to properly search the hill, make sure none of the abandoned or underused temples and shrines have cultists in the basements, etc.  Then gear up and tackle the gates to cut out the taint at the source.

Goran is up for several days of cleansing.  He enjoys putting down the heathens.

Urrun is bored, all these humans running around changing smells on things is dumb. making this or that scratch different is no better.
When we fight? If done, I can go?

In reply to Urrun (msg # 348):

Chasing an entire city district, that has almost as many buildings as redlight, and has at least three layers of understructure is a long long time of you go to this temple and these new npcs I have to write up are having a ceremony... maybe a few dozen times. This is like hunting through little Shevnia to find all of the giant rats in everyone's basement.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 349):

Yes, but was that not what we were tasked to do?
