04 - Ruin in the Moor

Rhegaer the Red

Rhegaer quickly takes in the rest of the room, trying to locate the source of the voice they heard earlier. "Spread out," he says, with the sudden thought that it might be the magic user and they don't want to be grouped together if he casts a spell at them...

Phadian

"My thought would be to drag those bodies out of here and dispose of them such that they wont get raised up by this Ilmir character."

[mgtremaine]

The room is surprisingly spartan all things considered. By each door there is a simple stool, water skin, and bed roll. That is three in total, for you notice one by the door you entered through as well. You quickly decide the voice was the from the first Gnoll who died in the volley of arrows.

Rhegaer the Red

Finding no immediate threat, Rhegaer examines the bodies and retrieves his arrow, if possible...

Rhegaer's arrow was broken, but Hagwen and Coln can recover their own.

Rhegaer looks over the bodies as the others shuffle in the room. Each dead gnoll has a belt pouch each pouch contains...

What next?

Phadian

"<quietly> I think we should get to the surface and take a day to heal, get Alrik's spell back, and burn all these bodies. Hagwen said we are facing a necromancer, don't want to fight these guys twice."

[merias]

"That would be a wise course of action indeed, my dear Phadian", Alrik says. "It would also allow me to ascertain the well-being of my torch-bearer. Rik is, after all, alone up above us."

[mgtremaine]

As Phadian and Alrik propose returning to the surface you all take a quick reckoning of time, it has been about 2 hours since you first descended down the stairs, Your best guess is that it is sometime after noon, probably close to 1:00pm above, still many hours of daylight left.

Rhegaer the Red

Rhegaer puts in his vote to stay down a bit longer, but he will go with majority decision without argument, if it is to return to the top to rest.

"It's not but a bit past noon now. Anything left down here is eventually going to see that we've been here and it will be on their guard; we'll loose the advantage of surprise for sure."

Hagwen

The Hag will take the opportunity to give the newly-won hall the once-over, looking for anything concealed or out-of-place.

If this turns up nothing unusual, she will listen at the doors the gnolls were guarding.
