Skull Mountain: the Return

[greyarea]

The eyes...

You head upstairs, cautiously and slowly. The air is tense as you make your way up. Finally, you get the the all-too-familiar room. Of the five cultists here, only one has any signs of life and he's fading quickly, arrows protruding from his body. The rest are quite dead.

They are dressed in leather and padded armor, and have longbows. Numerous broken arrows, presumably from Bars' team, litter the halls leading to the eyes. A few quivers stand ready and another lays on the floor, its contents spilling out.

A final breath and the light leaves the last cultist's eyes as death overwhelms him. The eyes of the skull are but a tomb.

Actions?

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes smiles and says quietly "nice shooting." He awaits the direction and suggestions of the group, who are more familiar with the passages. He stands ready to move out, with his sword at the ready.

Dieter - Mage

Yes, an excellent job. Down to where the trouble really begins I guess.

Dandy Dwarf Cleric

"Aye! Let's be fer headin down an tanglin wid dem cultists!"

Dandy will give a cursory search of the bodies.

Grimes - Fighter

"Good idea Dandy." Grimes helps quickly search the bodies, then roughly heaves each one out the eye socket to the ground below, chuckling as they fall...

“There wasn’t much to be had from any of these mindless fanatics the first time through. I’m going to check them out anyway just in case.”

Furuk quickly searches the cultists for anything of value or interest before heading out again.

The men carry no treasure, just their arrows, bows and long-swords.

The corpses fall with a thud on the ground below. One hits a "tooth" head first with a sickening crack as his skull bursts like a melon. The mouth of the Skull is now littered with dead cult initiates, the rocky "teeth" awash in blood.

Looking out into the night, you can see none of Bars' band of men. Are they gone? Hidden? It is impossible to tell.

Actions?

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes has his sword at the ready, and prepares to move out in the direction the group recommends. He says quietly "Those rogues have good aim... I hope they don't intend to double cross us when we are done with this mess." Then he nods toward the ground below and says with a grimace "Errrrg... I'd hate to have to clean that up."

As before, Grimes will follow the suggested route of the others who've been here before.

Dieter - Mage

Let's get to the dungeon of traps then? He'll say with a slight shiver...

[Craigers07]

Furuk readies his weapon and shield. When everyone is prepared he heads back down to the statue room.
