Temple of Elemental Evil

[wildbill]

"I say we explore the closer branch first. Should we leave someone behind to guard the rear?"

[haldir]

Elmo will volunteer to guard if needed.

 

Cory agrees with Shad but he'll listen to the rest of the party first.

[Spike]

"Good plan", Chara says, and is actually glad for once that Body Guard didn't volunteer to stay behind.

[haldir]

Isha

 

Cautions that there may be something down the other way but will go down the closest tunnel as well. No reason to split up the group.

[Inarah]

After the party moves off down the "near" tunnel, Isha will take advantage of the relative silence to listen for a moment at the 2nd one. If nothing catches her attention she hurries to catch up with the group.

[haldir]

Isha

 

Go ahead & make a Listen check (D6)

 

Party

 

With the torchlight you see the near passage goes down 10 feet & the turns to the right for about 30 feet before turning forward again. There is nothing in the passage. The other passage you see goes 30 feet & then turns to the right before fading into darkness.

 

(map will be up shortly)

[Inarah]

Isha listens intently for footsteps or other strange sounds.

 

d6=5

 

(Note: monks use the thief table for listen )

[haldir]

As the party starts to make its way down the south tunnel. Isha stops for a bit & listens intently down the other passage. You are about join the others when you hear something that sounds like chattering & not from 1 person, You can't understand the language thou. It's off in the distance as well, as the sounds echo off the walls ever so slightly.

[Inarah]

Isha hurries to join the others and tell them what she heard. "It was very much sounding like voices," she says.

[styates]

Tiron suggests that maybe a couple of the party should proceed quietly ahead to scout out the situation.

[haldir]

Cory agrees but doesn't volunteer to go of course.

[Spike]

"I could go.", Chara whispers to Tiron, and if there are no objections, she will go with dagger readied.

[styates]

"Well, let's be off then," Tiron responds. "If we need to beat a hasty retreat, you go first. I've prepared a little spell that'll seal any door behind us to aid in our retreat." He draws his dark colored sword and silently moves off down the passage.

[haldir]

Tiron & Chara move up the passage as both have darkvision, I take it no light source?. Cory has the torch & will stay behind with the rest of the group.

 

The passage turns south for 30 feet before moving west. This goes for 30 feet before turning north. This goes for 30 feet before turning out into a large room after 10 feet of passage. As the two of you get into the large room, the voices are coming from the north passage. Tiron you can make out what the voices are saying, it's a guttural version of Goblin but it goes like this:

 

 

(if you understand Goblin go ahead & read the spoilers!)

 

 

"When are we gonna bash some heads!"

 

 

 

Anther voice:

 

 

"We wait for Master!"

 

 

The voices continue to argue, with anther voice joining in.

 

The room that you are in now is for the most part a 50 x 30 feet room with 3 sets of doors off to the west.

I am still in the other hallway hanging out with Isha, Elmo and whoever else is along (I'm confused now as to who is here and isn't).
