Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Once the door is secure, Narrhil nods to Votin and proceeds to settle to rest again.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
[I'm assuming he wedged a dagger into the crack?]
The door is secure and the boys sleep again through the rest of the uneventful watch. Time to wake up Keet...
[What will Keet do during his watch, etc.?]

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Is there a window or hole in the roof? Kèet would try and investigate the noise.

The small room contains no window or hole in ceiling. Once the others fall asleep, Keet's curiosity about that strange snap that Votin told him about two hours ago increases and increases until his eyes are glued to the dagger holding the door shut...
The tiny book fire is nearly out again.
And its wipsy smoke is starting to collect too much with no ventilation for hours.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Kéet listens intently for more evidence of noise coming from outside other than that snapping stick [rolled a 5 for discern noise so fail]. Hearing nothing and seeing that the smoke is once again building up he as quietly as he can [Move Silently 7 so fail] he jiggles the dagger loose and cracks the door slightly. At first, he holds his eye to the crack to just look out but:
a: If he sees nothing he'll open it a little farther to vent the room and look around
b: slam it quickly if he sees a dangerous beasty.
It is immortality of a sort.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Keet opens the door.
The light from the dwindling bookfire sheds nearly nothing outside the doorway.
He hears nothing outside.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Narrhil Morrtos the Cryomancer rises, he arranges his equipment and prepare his tome to study. He also request of his fellows to patrol outside so they could get the wolf carcass to eat, and find his used wand, it still had worth, even as a memento.

"Aye Master Narrhil, if it is safe to venture outside.
Our companions need to recover the carcass for our repast.
We need to find us a better source for supplies as well..."

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
"Rise and shine boys. All was quiet till morning. Let's get that meat quickly I'm hungry. Maybe we should try to gather some wood and smoke what we can't eat.
"Ah Narrhil, perhaps if we find time we could teach each other some spells. I only know one and while it can be useful, didn't help me against the beast-men."

"If those icicles are still outside move them with your foot carefully away from the door...perhaps we can make a large circle to keep the beasts at bay?"

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
"Aye Sir Votin, let us explore," Narrhil makes ready to move outside. He collects his dagger wedged under the door (if it still there) and turns to Kéet.
"That I can try. What manner of caster are you?... Master Tillak is an Icelord, that I know and could assist him with some of my spells!

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Tillak will accompany the party out of the room and assist with exploration.
