Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Tillak readies himself for battle, Shield and war pick at the ready. He tries to rouse Keet.



  • “Moonglum licked his long lips. 'So it’s sorcery again. In truth, Elric, this whole country is beginning to stink of wizardry and the minions of hell.' Elric murmured for his friend’s ears: 'No hell-beings these—but honest elementals, equally powerful in many ways.'"

Keet seems dead to the world...

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

In fear of this wrapped place, Narrhil says, "one comes back, another goes?"

Keet's body remains, it snores deeply...

Narrhil is not comforted, but prepares himself, waiting for the door to burst open.

"I am resisting the urge to open the door and look, from what I've been told the undead make no sound..."

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

[Can any of us detect undead?]

You strain to hear another noise but silence is constant.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Standing in his not-so white robes trimmed with pale blue and silver and his thick winter cloak, Narrhil ponders tearing up some of the loose floor boards and attempting to barricade the door. His violet coloured stain gripping his weapons trouble him, but he had other problems at present.

"Are we willing to combat a foe at this present moment in times, or secure or fortress from enemy?" He asks his comrades in a faint whisper, "I could attempt to wedge door shut with my dagger?"

[Narrhil has a crowbar, he could force floor boards up, nails also, and hammer then into door frame?]

The floor and walls are constructed of stone.
The door is reinforced wood and is banded directly to the stone wall by metal strap hinges.

"The door and walls seem sturdy enough...rest but keep your weapons and shields at hand...I will continue the watch."

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

To take his mind off of what may await outside Votin picks up one of the few readable books and flips through it but finds the language incomprehensible.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Kéet's eyes snap open. He grabs his axe and heads to stand next to the door whispering to himself "Man I slept like I was dead." 
He tries to listen closely to see if he can hear anything else coming from out there.

[Sorry. I literally got a notification today and saw I missed a couple pages of stuff. I'm just going to mental note myself to check the thread directly every couple of days.]


It is immortality of a sort.

Keet hears nothing through the door. Votin has reassured him his sleep is still sound.

[This thing runs pretty much every day or more, unless I'm overseas for work where I get off time (sorry folks)  Somewhere near the bottom of the page is a button for subscribing. Now this service is currently working for me, but it hasnt always, particularly with certain players over others, which is weird. side note: the ping is only once, and doesn't ping you again until you check it. So often I get a hit, then check, and everyone's actually chimed. in. Took me a while to keep looking at the inbox button too(which is where your dreams, visions, and dark thoughts might occur). Now I stay away from the mobile version altogether.  Good luck!]

As the others move back to slumber, Votin re-realizes the door is only closed and not locked or blocked in any way....

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

[Can Kèet use Discern Noise to listen closer?]

[the ping is only once,
This might be the problem. I get the Unitarian email but aren’t able to do anything at the time.]
