"It's most likely elf blood. I think I would know my own blood when I see it," Ritz tells the others before Erimis is suddenly tugging to get away. It seems he has the scent. "Guys, Erimis has the scent. I think we should go."

by Book the Hero Sun Jul 08, 2012 1:45 pm

Raven nods. Lead the way, Erimis.

by **Rose Hathaway** Sun Jul 08, 2012 1:48 pm

Anastasia frowned. "It's Epsil. It has to be. There are no other elves in this wood besides you and me. We have to find him." she said, her brow creasing with worry.

by **Masquerade** Sun Jul 08, 2012 1:49 pm

"I was thinking the same thing," Ritz says, her voice unreadable. "Go Erimis. Take us." She lets Erimis go and sprints after him hoping the others will follow.

by **Rose Hathaway** Sun Jul 08, 2012 1:50 pm

Anastasia began running after the wolf. Epsil was her rock. There was no way she'd be able to put up with that dwarf without him.

by Book the Hero Sun Jul 08, 2012 1:51 pm

Raven sprints beside her, following Erimis. Hold on, we're coming Epsil.

by **CodastertheDisaster** Sun Jul 08, 2012 3:13 pm

Fort:4
Dazzle: 8

Epsil jumps back, covering his eyes, momentarily blinded. He raises his other hand to show he means no harm. "Sorry!" he exclaims.

by **ExtravagantEvil** Sun Jul 08, 2012 4:08 pm

You are dazed for a good couple of seconds, your lights still hurting as they adjust to the sudden burst of light.

You see an old man sitting in the corner, his hands around his knees, with a grubby beard that lays on his chest. He seems to wear nothing but a cheep loincloth rag, and looks sad, as he leaves you to get up

I'm Sorry...I mistook you for one of the green monsters, eyes still not used to the dark. They are the ones usually to come here, rough me up a tad, interrogate me, so on. Haven't seen many elves before. And Sorry again for the light, first instinct. They've taken away everything but not my magic. Names Fidar. And what's yours?

Vorpalsheen nods and says
Aye, we need every soldier we can 'ere...and I ain't losin' one.
As he joins following the wolf as he leaps ahead over rock and tree and bush, and it continues on for a chase that feels like it goes on for hours, following the wolf's every step down the road unpaved.

by **CodastertheDisaster** Mon Jul 09, 2012 3:53 am

Epsil offers a hand to the old man. "My name is Epsil. If you still have magic, I think we could escape if we worked together. What do you think?"

by **ExtravagantEvil** Tue Jul 10, 2012 8:59 am

He seems to laugh hoarsely to the idea

You know, I've been here a good couple weeks...maybe a couple months, you really lose your sense of time in this place, it all just flows together...I'm not sure whether I could keep up with you if we broke out. I doubt we could even get through the gate. Seeing as it's locked, and nothing I have in my arsenal wore it down much. If you can get it set up...Haha...I guess.

Raven, Vorpalsheen, Anastasia and Rits:

As you dash through the forest, following the wolf over tree and bush, you come across a sight. A mountain, it extends up a good 1000 feet or so, not able to exactly pick out the height, with a trail of smoke visible from the top. From here you can't tell if it's a volcano or something else.
All you know is that Emris is circling now, trying to search for the trail, but seemingly, finds nothing.
You have been travelling for a good Hour. Anyone who sprinted or ran the entire time is now exhausted. If you simply followed the wolf at a decent pace, you are fine.

by Book the Hero Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:27 am

Damn... Raven said, now exhausted.

by **Rose Hathaway** Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:35 am

Blast that wolf! Where the hell is Epsil?! He could be killed if we don't find him! Anastasia snaps, sitting down on a rock to catch her breath.

by **Masquerade** Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:39 am

"I pray thee watch your tongue. Erimis has done well to bring us this far," Ritz shoots calmly Anastasia, panting out of exhaustion. "I don't see you finding a path up the mountain." She calls Erimis over to her and pets him, praising him for doing a good job before sitting down to rest.

by Book the Hero Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:40 am

Erimis has done well to get us this far. Raven said. Now it's up to us to find Epsil.

by **Rose Hathaway** Tue Jul 10, 2012 11:49 am

Glaring at Ritz, Anastasia got up from her rock and began trying to find that trail despite Ritz's insult.

Spot: 17.

by **CodastertheDisaster** Tue Jul 10, 2012 3:03 pm

Epsil chuckles. "Do you know where they might have taken my equipment? I would be a much greater help if I had my bow."

Now that it's brighter in the room, Epsil takes a look at his surroundings. Are there any entrances/exits, tunnels, or trapdoors?
And just in case, here's a spot.
Spot: 9

by **ExtravagantEvil** Tue Jul 10, 2012 4:26 pm

Anastasia: You manage to notice, a faint balcony near the top of the mountain. Also, there is a faint part of the mountain, that seems to have a slightly lower incline.

(You can roll Search to look around the mountain Base).

Epsil:

The mage says, morosely

I'd tell you, but I was asleep when you got here, and can't see well in the dark to generally find anything or guess anything in this cavern owned by the little green imps they are.

I'd expect it to be in some treasure vault. They come by once a day to give food, if it means anything to you.

As you glance around you find nothing except for the jail cell door, you can roll search to find hidden doors.

by **Rose Hathaway** Tue Jul 10, 2012 4:29 pm

Search: 12

by Book the Hero Tue Jul 10, 2012 4:32 pm

Search: 15

by **Masquerade** Tue Jul 10, 2012 4:47 pm

Ritz, having at least caught her breath, decides to get up and look around as well, seeing that everyone else feels well enough to do that much.

(Ritz gets a 22 for Search.)

by **CodastertheDisaster** Tue Jul 10, 2012 7:32 pm

Search: 10

by **ExtravagantEvil** Wed Jul 11, 2012 11:50 am

Epsil: As you look around, you find nothing hidden. It seems as if the room is a solid 15 foot cube, with a jail gate made out of, abnormally fine steel.

Anastasia, John, Ritz: You scour the base of the mountain, when Ritz and Anastasia both stumble onto something interesting.

To their eyes, it is a shoddily hidden door in the back of the mountain. However, your search has not revealed how to open it. As you searched the door during all this, you find that there are some basic pullies and gears behind it.
(You can either Roll Search again, and this time only Anastasia can do this. Only her. Others can assist. By rolling search again, you can either try to find how it's opened from the outside, or figure out the gears and disable the lock and letting the door slide open.)

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Jul 11, 2012 12:00 pm

Anastasia smiled upon the discovery of the door. Secret doors excited her. "Ah. My specialty."

Search: 24

by **ExtravagantEvil** Wed Jul 11, 2012 12:35 pm

Anastasia: You spend 10 minutes, prying around the door. You manage to find, what appears to be a stone looser than the others, if you jimmy it a little, it seems like it wants to exit the stone, it's about the size of a small ball.

Also through your searching, you've managed to discover the locking mechanism for the door, and can try to roll Open Lock/Disable Device (I run both of them the same. They are really the exact same skill

).

What do you wish to do?

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Jul 11, 2012 12:39 pm

Anastasia smiled at the lock. "Aha!" she cried.

Open lock: 19
