Temple of Elemental Evil

[ShadowRaven 56016]

"Hold" He said as the head darted back into the moat house, his hand falling at once to his hammer, "I just so someone, or something inside the moat house, be on your guard"

[Darcstaar 11355]

Wigmund will ready his sword and shield, eager to earn the respect of his new companions. "Shall we make a plan?"

[styates 101]

Joining Wigmund and Jaden, Tiron prepares himself for a fight, "What do you have in mind?" he asks.

[Darcstaar 11355]

Wigmund says "Perhaps we send any of our group with ranged attacks to either side of the door, while I sing a stirring tune to pique their interest. I'll be taking cover behind my shield. When they come out to investigate, and show their evil intentions, our ranged attackers can unleash, while our melee users charge to meet them in glorious hand-to-hand combat.

Does anyone need the map again of the courtyard or is everyone good to go?

[Inarah 42520]

Isha remembers the open courtyard, and is interested in hearing Wigmund sing. Perhaps she will accompany him on her flute. 

[styates 101]

I'm good.

[ShadowRaven 56016]

(I could use a map. I've never seen one)

[Spike 160]

I think I recall it well enough.

"Good plan.", Chara says, then readies her sword to await whoever is inside to come out.

Here is the overall map of the Moat house

 

Moathouse Map

 

& here is what the actual moat house looks like.

 

Building from afar

 

The party sets itself up & does what has been discussed, then waits.......waits....waits...nothing emerges.

[ShadowRaven 56016]

"well, that's not working, shall we?" With that he set his shield in front of himself and aproached the door

[Darcstaar 11355]

"We shall!" Wigmund will also approaches with shield up, to back up his companion.

[styates 101]

Shrugging off the lack of success and chucking at the antics of the parties newest member, Tiron joins in the careful approach of the door.

[Darcstaar 11355]

Wigmund will sing a tune...

 

"Into the moat house, our quarry fled.

We caught but a glimpse of his shadowed head.

Come out! Come out! And show yourselves.

Be you orcs, or goblins, or even elves.

Surrender to us, and mercy you'll receive.

Trouble us and we'll hunt you without reprieve.

To rid the moat house of evil is our quest.

We must succeed for Hommlett so they may finally rest."

[haldir 44081]

(you know they make the bard class for S&W..... )

 

The party starts to move up the stairs, & cautiously moves into the building. There are bodies of the bandits that were slain near the door to the black room still on the floor, peering down the south passage, you can barely make out the corpse of the giant snake & of course to the west are the rooms that were opened but never cleared (the giant tick in the kitchen & the giant lizard in the large western room), along with the doors that were opened.

 

As you stand to allow your eyes to adjust to the dimness of the interior (there are enough holes in this place, it's like being in the shade of a large tree), part of the ceiling falls in. It's like you never left.
