[DFRPG] Crawl! IC

[Hide]

Bain rests for a few minutes to recover from battle. Then he strips the fallen bandits from their equipment (with the help of the party), and positions the cart so it provides cover; he puts the fire out from a few sconces to make the corridor dark again (about half of it). Finally, he camouflages himself merging with the shadows, completely erasing his pressence*.

I will make watch.

Says Bain before "disappearing".

*critical success.

Looting the bandits yields 2 bows, 14 pistol crossbows, 16 small swords, 16 cloth armour (DR 1) sets, $700 in coins, and not much else. It seems their personal effects and extra equipment were left in their living quarters, or something.

The surviving bandit is still unconscious after all that time.

Telrith compliments the earth elementals on their performance.



"As I told you, they struggle to injure you. Stonemaul, you did excellent work. Yes, you never actually attacked anyone, but you were key to our strategy. Yes, its strange how quickly humans move, but how soft and delicate we are. You knew that already, but now you've seen it."


"While you've still got that torch lit, I need you two to go into the room off of the mess and see if anyone is in it. The one with all of the beds. Just check and come right back. Yell if you see anyone. Understood?"



"Bain? Bain? where are you? I need to ask you about that weird fire!"

[PumpkinLorica]

COMRADES, IT IS TIME TO USE MY MEOWGICAL KNOWLEDGE TO HEAL YOU!

She tends her comrade’s wounds and restores Vic’s and Telrith’s HP (to 10 HP and 9 HP, respectively). After this she casts watchdog and decides to rest behind the cart (since Bain is doing watch).

As I told you, they did not struggle to injure you, and this why you HOLD THE LINE. Telrith, you did excellent work. Yes, you never actually attacked anyone, but you were key to our strategy. Great work holding the line and excellent work with the Stone Elementals. Next step is learning to hold the line while advancing. Thanks Stonemaul and Mudman, I hope you tell the other Elementals that you did the work of giants today, and it isn’t even over yet!
Comrade Telrith, we MUST rest, lest our squishy wounds reopen.

As Bain makes watch, music of his homeland plays in his head.

As Gathika pointed OOC, it should be 30 minutes, at least!

[PumpkinLorica]

Comrades, you have to REST. Bain is watching, so we are safe. Don't distract yourselves now; rest or I will have to punish you...
In the name of the Elders (^つωฅ^)☆

The party manages to rest for 30 minutes.

When Vic inspects the door that was behind them, he sees that it is locked.

(OOC: Lockpicking -3)

Bain comes back from the shadows and greets the party.

Hey there my friends, hope you had enough rest!
We should make a decision.

He is calling a meeting.

I find the amount of “rescued goods” already exceeds our cart’s capacity; so, it is time we leave some equipment behind (we should burn it) and take the rest with us. The heaviest goods are the armor sets which have the lowest price-weight ratio, so we might dump them.

I also think it is time to RTB.

We have conducted the investigation required by the officials; our “unit” has identified and neutralized mayor threats in “The Caves” (which amount to 41 enemy casualties, so far) and we have secured a prisoner for them.

By the way, we also have to find a way to take the prisoner with us. I suggest we make a sledge using a piece of wood from the bunks or the tables in the other rooms. Could you do it Vicious?

So, we have to vote and decide whether we RTB or do a combat jack and stay here. What do you want to do?
