Re: The Sundered Way
OOC: I kind of want to
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?"

Randy patiently awaits Tess to finish messaging everyone.

(( I'll give you a chance to decide before I start Randy up to the Door of Doom. If you want in on the "fun" of first contact, just have Ulmwin tell Tess and Randy will wait. ))

Re: The Sundered Way
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.

Re: The Sundered Way
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.

Re: The Sundered Way
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....

Re: The Sundered Way
"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."

Re: The Sundered Way
((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.))

Re: The Sundered Way
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.

Re: The Sundered Way
"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.))

Re: The Sundered Way
"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).

Re: The Sundered Way
"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.

Re: The Sundered Way
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.

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