The Sundered Way

[spiderwrangler]

The squads of guards march to the north west of the city, the few citizenry on the wet streets getting out of their way.

Holger follows at a suitable distance, and as they cross the square near where Tess is looking out for kids by the bakery, she notices the group of guards, and Holger tailing them.

Randy backs off on the angry dad vibe, and the guards relax a bit.

"I'm sure your friends are fine, but I understand your need to make sure of that. I can't just let you head down there un-escorted though, last thing we need to have happen is a mix up in the sewers if you stumble into them. I don't have a problem with you joining them, but I don't get to make the calls. Until they return, or a superior shows up and you convince them to let you in, you and your friend are staying out of the alley."

Maji, you've reached the edge of the water, the guards are behind you, but there isn't quite enough room for them all to enter the chamber, at least while on dry land. You just wading towards the same tunnel you went to before?

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Randy sighs. "Fine. I'll just sit over here and polish my weapons then."
Randy does just that, finding a spot to sit where he pulls out his swords and starts cleaning them, starting with the lit one. He pulls out the potion of sharpness and looks at it a moment, shakes his head and puts it back.

[spiderwrangler]

They are a bit unnerved by the flames licking up through your hands without seeming to burn you as you clean and polish the blade.

Nem Messages Holger:

"Everything good? Where are you going?"

((What time is it at the moment?))

[spiderwrangler]

((You've still a few hours until "sunset".))

[Arch Lich Burns]

(Yep, same tunnel. He wants those things good and dead.)

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Randy smiles slightly at the guards reaction. "It's just light. No heat. That's all it will do for most people. If I use it, it can do more. It becomes a channel for destructive energies. A...gift... from the All Mother."

[Theis2]

Holger stops in his tracks, looks around suspiciously for the source, before letting it go through.

"We just healed a victim of a monster attack. Seems they are going there in force. Still uncooperative though. What are you up to?"

[spiderwrangler]

As Maji walks into the water with little hesitation, the guards fill in the room behind him.

"There seem to be a bunch of tunnels, any idea where they go?"

[Arch Lich Burns]

Maji shakes his head to answer the guard. He pulls his shield out before continuing further. He then continues to walk warily through the tunnel (dodge actions)

[thinkslogically]

Message: "Who's they? What kind of monster? Where was it?"

[spiderwrangler]

"Alright, two squads keep an eye on the other tunnels as we follow the dragonborn. Looks like it's getting deep... err... two of you carry the gnomes so they don't have to swim?"

Maji reaches the entrance to the tunnel, with the guards splashing into the water behind him.

((I'll take Perception checks from the three of you that are there, and if each of you could roll 2 more d20s to make some checks for the guards?))

[Arch Lich Burns]

Maji per [1d20+5] = 9+5 = 14 guard 1 [1d20] = 7 guard 2[1d20] = 6

[spiderwrangler]

Maji hears something swimming towards him from down the tunnel.



((Trying a new way of arting via the sketchbook app on my tablet.))

[Theis2]

"The guards, they aren't too fond of accepting help when offered apparently. From Randy's description it could be a sewer bear or something else.
It was near where the apprentice got killed."

[thinkslogically]

"Oh? And where was that?"

[Theis2]

<insert directions>

[thinkslogically]

"Go ahead, I'll follow and catch up."

[Arch Lich Burns]

Mani points twoards the noise and backs up to let the guards through.

[spiderwrangler]

Some of the guards continue to slosh forward as you slosh back without raising an alarm.

---

The guards Holger is following continue across the river, eventually slowing as the approach the alley.

---

The guard calls over to Randy and Dornikal, "Hey, move off a bit, there's a squad leader you can ask, but it's more likely if you're not hanging too close to start."

[Rodgeir]

Dornikal gives a nod and takes a step back and looks to Randy to do the talking.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Once he gets close enough he says ”Monster....coming.”

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Randy nods and sheaths his swords, backing off another 20 ft. and going to parade arrest.

[thinkslogically]

Nem watches where the group are heading to and starts casually meandering after them (as Tess), trying not to draw attention to herself. She asks Ily to stay put for a moment in the roof.

Stealth: 1d20+4 = [11] = 15

[NotStickFigures]

Coljin Perception 1d20+5 = [20] = 25
Guard 1 1d20 = [11] = 11
Guard 2 1d20 = [12] = 12
