8. The Ruins of Xitaqa

[tumblingdice]

Day 24, Soladain, Thaumont 24th, Ruins of Xitaqa, nightfall

Tret scouts ahead. He finds three paths through the boulders and steep-sided gulleys of the escarpment that lead into the city. It's hard to see much in the gathering darkness, but the top of the tower, and a few ruined buildings (B and Es), cut into the bedrock of the gulley sides, are visible. The paths quickly bend and twist, however, into the rocks and out of sight.



A few lights flicker in the tower. All is quiet.

Actions?

Soldath 10/10 as human, 24/24 as werewolf
Athelstan 22/25

Meringered 7/9

Jörg - Fighter
"Jörg ready to save you again Thyatian," Jörg whispers as he stares at the towering building.

Tret, rogue

Let's get in there while it's dark. Perhaps a wolf's nose might help, Soldath. Regardless, I say we take the centre path, keeping as silent and invisible as possible.

[Spanningtree]

Soldath - WareMage

Soldath will see if his olfactory senses seem any more sensitive than before. Other than that he follows along trying to be as quiet and invisible as possible.

[saalaria]

Tethir - Elf

"Aye - nice and quiet in the dark is the way forward, Tret."
Tethir takes a look around for any sentries or scouts, trying to see through the gloom.

"The middle path is as good as any."

Athelstan - Fighter

Athelstan shakes his head at Jorg and says "Perhaps that will be necessary, my friend. I'd prefer to poke my eyes out with a dagger, but I value my life." He shrugs at the mention of taking the center path. "If it were my position to defend, I'd have a guard at whatever is the main entrance, and ambushes set on the flanks. Center seems as good a way as any."

OOC: So do you think we should rest to regain some HP and spells, and then maybe head in before daybreak?

[kwll]

"How safe would it be to sleep outside?" asks Meringered, a bit naively.

[kipper]

Old Anja (Shaman)

Anja shrugs. "Why delay the inevitable." She begins to head down the center path.

[tumblingdice]

Tethir sees nothing. Soldath smells nothing.

So, who's following Anja, and who's staying behind to rest?

[greyarea]

Tret, rogue

Ain't leavin without me, grams, says Tret as he joins Anja.
