Votin finds spilled piles of burned books around the walls of the room, a worn mattress in the far corner next to an overturned bowl.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
[Can we have a brief hp count, Narrhil is at 2, out of 4. He very apprehensive going outside with the ice storm still happening. He is considering studying his spellbook and hopefully healing.]
[I usually play loose with the hit points, preferring that other players only know what they can deduce, Votin seems fine...Narrhil is throwing up bile...Malak is doing pushups out back... - so that characters are less inclined to change battle decisions concerning what's happening sometimes behind their backs. But since the group is in a full sit rep at the moment:
NARRHIL 2 of 4
KEET GOOCH 4 of 6
TILLAK 5 of 14
VOTIN 6 of 26]

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
[@Iron Ranger Were all of our supplies lost in our transition from captives to free men? I had 50' of rope. Perhaps we could use one of Narhil's picks?]
The repacking was hurried but - minus the food - you found most of your stuff. [TILLAK roll d100]
I count 4 torches left after this one burns out.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
[Also the private messages function of site dumped all my old messages so I'm missing original equipment lists for TILLAK and NARRHIL. Can I get those again if you've still got them?]

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Narrhil gives Votin his hand axe after the rope has been attached.
[Votin will be better at throwing.]

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Votin takes the axe and check it's balance.
"As soon as the door opens I'll throw the axe and hope we can haul the wolf carcass in.
Be ready to help.
And keep a sharp lookout for any threats!
Hopefully the bad weather will keep them away."

VOTIN ties a knot in the rope and slides it down the axe handle to the blade.
[When he is ready, roll a test of dex and a to hit roll (missile bonus if any applied)]

[Well, this might be the best course. Anyone else have any ideas?].

Votin heaves the axe out into the dark. It flies through the torrent of ice shards, landing with a thud upon the carcass of the slain wolf.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Narrhil starts searching the burnt books, those of little importance he stack in the centre of the room, considering making a campfire. He will search for rubble to make a perimeter for the fire, and any loose wood from any broken furniture to burn.
[Was the mattress part of a bed, is there any wood from its frame?
Concerning books, does some hold spells, lore or anything else interesting.]

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Tillak will help Votin pull the wolf in towards the party's shelter. "Look like meat's back on the menu, boys!"
[Sorry, I couldn't help it.
