8. The Ruins of Xitaqa

[kwll]

Meringered winces when he hears his murderous companions talk. Pronouncing a quick prayer in his mind, he prepares himself for the inevitable battle to come.

Tret scouts ahead, making his way past the crumbling facades of the ancient ruins, careful to stay within the shadows. DM makes secret dice rolls for move silently and hide in shadows. Rounding a corner, the thief sees three goblins, leading amongst them five more baboons on chains.

The ground underfoot is treacherous, with loose gravel and slabs of stone. Several large pebbles start to slide as Tret tries to sneak down a slight decline and into a corner. One of the goblins looks up at the sound. "Well now," he says, "what have we here. Come lads. We have a visitor."

The goblins advance, drawing short swords.

Actions?

[greyarea]

Tret, rogue

Tret races back to the main group, checking to make sure he's followed (!) and alerts the others with, Got three gobs and five apes! Prepare for a fight! leading the baddies to the (hopeful) ambush by his fellows.

So much for getting to backstab someone. Maybe next time. Tret isn't so good at sneaking, it seems...

Is there access to the insides of any of the ruins around Anja?

Athelstan - Fighter

Athelstan smiles at Jorg and says "Let's take those apes, shall we?" He glances back quickly and says "Archers! Let's make sure no one escapes to alert the others, we need all the time we can get."

Athelstan will hold Chrysomer high and prepare to meet the bad guys, trying to concentrate on the apes.

OOC: Yee Haaaaa! Time to chop things up!

[Spanningtree]

Soldath - Mage

Soldath will stay to the rear and see if he can detect any opponents that have ranged weapons. If he does he will Continual Light the eyes of the first one that he sees.

Jörg - Fighter
With axe at the ready, "Aye Thyatian! TO BATTLE!" Jörg booms quietly.

Is there access to the insides of any of the ruins around Anja?

There are doors, as shown on the map. All are closed at the moment.

[kwll]

Meringered takes a defensive stance, shield up again, and avoids staying in the front line at first.

[kipper]

Old Anja (Shaman)

Anja heads for the nearest door and tries to open it.
