Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
The second watch begins.
[What is Tillak doing during this time?]
[Also, need all of Tillak's 4th level business.]

It's in the sheet that I sent you. I get FA and CA raised to 4, I don't any new spells, and I roll a d8 for HP. (2nd Ed. at least.)

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
OKay, got it. There's some conflicting info sections on there so I'll compare with my sheet.
And I do not see the new HP roll.
Roll d8 and let me know.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Votin is wakened by Tillak to begin his watch.
As TIllak falls back into slumber, Votin decides how to spend his time...
Tillak let the bookfire dwindle down to embers...so its pretty dark in here again.
There are 7 torches on the floor.
The magician has moved the mattress and sleeps upon it.
The smoke is hanging in the closed room again.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Votin feels around for a book to toss onto the fire(Hopefully there's a pile), he doesn't want to use a torch yet.
He may crack the door a little to vent the smoke but will listen at the door carefully first.
Votin doesn't to attract the wrong type of attention by the smoke smell.

The wind has picked up again outside.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Votin finds and adds another book to the fire, nursing to get better light.
He listens intently at the door for any sign of trouble and if the coast is clear he will crack it open ever so slightly to clear the smoke out of the room.
He braces himself against the door in case he has to close it immediately.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
The book burns.
Only the renewed wind outside.
The cracked door immediately sucks the smoke outside.
Everything is dark in the courtyard.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Tillak begins to read one of the books. Anything interesting?

The inspirational, spiritual poetry puts Tillak right to sleep.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Votin closes and secures the door and then resumes his watch.
Votin hears the book fall from Tillak's hands to the floor and then his soft gently snores.
He keeps a slow stream of books into the small flames for heat and light.
After an hour, he hears a soft snap from outside.

Votin quietly rouses his companions...
"Pssst...Grab your weapons and on your feet, I think we have unwanted guests."

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Narrhil slowly moves, tired but alert, combat was not his forte but when needs must. He gripped his pick and his hand axe. Readying for battle.
