Malak at full 9.
Emral at 7/14.

 

I’m for resting one more increment, and then going.

You are both jolted awake by the sound of a door slamming.
You don't know long you've been asleep, but it can't have been long, based on your disorientation upon waking.

I open my eyea

Still dark. You hear footsteps in the dirt below the high windows on the left wall.  The door in the right corner of right wall remains closed. Emral is ripping sleep from his eyes and cursing how damn  close he was to getting another dHD+ Con bonus!

I climb walls to the window to look out. Rolled a 4

It's very dark but you can just make out the belfry to the left, and the tombstones in the cemetery to the right, impossible to see down to the ground below the windows from this angle.

I stay still and hear noise. Rolled a 3

Emral grumbles and gets up, draws his sword, and moves forward.  "Okay, so do we move into the pool? Where's that noise coming from?"

Malak's muscle begin to tremble up there. Roll d12.
 

You can't be sure Malak heard you, he's trembling trying to hang onto the window ledge - 12 feet up.
[anticipating d12]

We'll go down into the pool then close the door behind us. Bring some of this wood, too, and the skins. In case we're down there for a while."

I will follow you to the pits of the abyss

Leaving the comfort of the fire behind just a few short hours short of a second much-needed rest, Emral and Malak stare down into the now empty pool on the raised pulpit.

The pool is constructed of the same hardwoods as the pulpit, though made watertight through a coating of hard waxes. It is 6 ft x 4 ft wide, 4 ft. deep. There is an iron sluice grate on the left side bottom around 18 inches squared.
