OOC: I kind of want to :P

IC: "Well, I didn't say that... I just said nothing could go wrong investigating magical towers!" Ulmwin says, sarcasm obvious. "Though if it does come down to a matter of wit... Should he be heading up alone?"

"Obviously not, but he doesn't want to offend whoever's seen us."

Randy patiently awaits Tess to finish messaging everyone.

It is a lot of whispering...

Ulmwin considers for a bit, eventually letting out a sigh. "I'll go with him just in case." he says, soon finding himself next to Randy, offering a nod before his vision is back on the spire... Given how he doesn't have ten minutes to spare, but it might be very relevant, he simply casts detect magic- To see both if this tower was magic from a distance and, soon enough, from closer by.

Nem stops whispering and tells Randy the gist of the phonecall while Ulmwing wanders over.

"Ily will go with you. If it's dangerous... Actually I don't know what we'll do. Anything that can summon a tower out of nothing probably has other tricks up its sleeve. We'll play it by ear! Good luck!"

Nem messages Holger the update and then sends Ily off with the others, focussing into his senses.

Randy looks at Ulmwin. "Well, if you're sure. Let's go then." He loosens his swords in their sheaths, but does not draw any weapons. He then heads up to the door. "Ready?"
He knocks....

"Well, can't have you try and be the martyr every time- Besides, might as well be able to offer some bardic charm, if the plan is to make friends..." he says jovially at first, before whispering under his breath, though keeping his face forwards.

"Tower itself ain't magic, but might have been constructed by help of it... Sign seems to be an illusion, and there's conjuration magic on that door."

((Just checking if Randy wants to respond to Ulmwin, or if you're waiting on me?))

((Also, is Tess coming closer to be able to keep range of Ily? Otherwise you drop his senses before they reach the door.))

How far back is everyone else from the tower?
Coljin isn't really understanding why we are splitting the party here.
He asks/states, "It is not like we are going to leave those two there and leave if they disappear or something, we would then have to go in too? Right? So what is the plan? Are they just trying to be diplomatic?"

Maji sighs and nods at Coljin's question. He motions the party to come with. He points at Szartha, his eyes and then the wagons.

"You want me to keep watch on the wagons?", Szartha shrugs. "Sure, we can do that. If you all aren't back in... ten minutes...? At least to let us know what's up, should someone come looking?"

((You are as far back as you want to be, Tess and Randy initially scouted it via Ily from ~150 ft or so away, with the wagons and the rest of the party presumably ~120ft farther back, so that she could still communicate with message. After she did, Ulmwin at least as moved forward, the rest of the party can stay put, or have moved forward, as you guys see fit.))

"Aye don't know. If they are talking its probably best we not come swarmin' over the hill armed, but aye agree we should be closer."

He looks at the wagons and then the surrounding dunes.

"Though it could just be another trap like with the jackal-things."

Randy nods at the information that Ulmwin gives him, still knocks (not without a little trepidation, however).

"Yeah, we don't need another fight like those jackals. I was pretty much useless there, Dornikal. I'd be dead if I had to have faced one of them alone."

"Let's move up a bit then.. maybe 30 feet behind Tess?"

"Pretty much useless? Aye was asleep for nearly all of it."

He nods,

"Let's go, 30 feet back from Tess."

Maji gives Szartha a nod in comfirmation. He will follow Coljin, keeping an eye on things.

Holger agrees with the sentiment of going with the others to the door. He'll cast detect magic as well in anticipation of what can come.

Nem will stay put, instructing Ily to pay attention and run back to her if trouble starts.

And if, as is becoming increasingly typical, Randy going on a solo mission gets us all nearly killed, then noone will be surprised :lol:
