In reply to Thorg (msg # 931):

you can see a faint light ahead!

He pushes on, but says light ahead.

"Wanna slo'down, mebbe.  Sn'k up on't."  Aldous speaks in a firm whisper.

OK, I can try.

Aldous stays close behind Thorg, and lowers his lantern to hang from his hand (placing the light source about shin level).

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 936):

The corridor ahead is fairly smooth and clean, and the light sown the way flickers as you approach- it may be a torch.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 937):

Aine lowers and covers her light...

He moves cautiously forward, although not as quietly as he had wished.



[Private to GM:   19:19, Today: Thorg rolled 13 using 3d6.  Stealth.  missed by one. ]

In reply to Thorg (msg # 939):

The torchlight does not move.

Can we see the torch and the area around it?

As he advances, Aldous sheathes his smallsword and draws one of his small knives with a throwing grip.

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 942):

the torch, seen at a distance, looks to be mounted in a bracket  on the wall.

"S'm'body r'places th' torch, 'f it ain't magic."  Aldous shakes his head.  "Don' think this's wher' th' de'd guy went."

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 944):

"Still, be good to see where it DOES go..."

"D'pen's who th' light's fer, mi' not b' frien'ly."

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 946):

to be sure the nameless dead man needed no light...

He moves up closer to see if he can see anything around it or past it.

"Thorg, w'r here 'bout th' whisp'r'r.  Th' necro's f'r tha', too."

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 949):

"We wont know if we dont go. Come on..."

She starts down the corridor if no-one else is going...

In reply to Aine Walsh (msg # 950):

you can hear footseps coming from the right hand of a T intersection that this corridor terminates into.

Shaking his head, Aldous turns back toward the recently opened door, gesturing to the others to follow.  He sheathes the small knife he'd been holding ready, and draws his smallsword.

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 952):

Aine stops when she hears the footsteps and covered her light...

In reply to Aine Walsh (msg # 953):

you hear a voice
"Did you see that? light just got dimmer there, somethings  afoot!"

He moves to the front shield and spear point up.

In reply to Thorg (msg # 955):

You spot two men in chainmail with sword and shield and orange cloaks
