Olaf nods at Dieter's suggestion, "That's as good a place as I see and should give us a vantage of what is up there. The way back *is* elsewhere, so we need to go elsewhere."coffee wrote:"One-way?" Dieter snarls. "Don't you think you should have made that clear before you brought us here? As I recall, the plan was for us to have a rest and for you lot to get your spells for the day, and then do something rash."mushgnome wrote:"Excellent, it works!" exclaims Highbough. "The voyage was one-way as I suspected... I hope you all said goodbye to the others? Now, there should be a fortress around here somewhere. Let's organize our search so we don't get separated." The old Elf would look for any high ground or landmarks he can climb to have a look-see of this alien landscape.
He shakes his head, eyes scanning the distance. "Elves!"
Once he spots a defensible looking place in the surrounding high ground, he'll confer with Olaf on heading there.
Olaf grumbles to himself, "Old elf should have thought of that before he brought us here.", but he does agree that getting into a defensible position and surveying things is the first thing to do so he moves up the dune into a hollow of sand that provides cover and protection from the sides, but it high enough so he can look over the top of the dune and see what is out there.mushgnome wrote:"Good point, Wen," ponders Highbough. "Dieter, Olaf, Torben: please make camp and keep guard so Wen and I can rest and memorize more spells. We should gather our strength before we assault the Fortress."
Yes, it was the afternoon of that same day when (collective) you activated the Ring.coffee wrote:OOC: Is this still the same day we fought the Tar Fiend and lost Gustave?
You assume correctly, Sir! Olaf has his bow in hand.coffee wrote:Apparently I just thought it and didn't say it: Dieter will have his sword sheathed and his bow out as he goes up the slope. (And I assume Olaf will, as well.)
