“Oh goodie… a history lesson,” Dne mutters.

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 56):

The archer shrugs "Far, far."

"Oral histories can be imprecise," Ülo quips, "Suffice to say it was a long time ago.  After the goblin empire, before the humans?  I'm not sure, history never interested me, especially not ancient history that has little to no bearing on what matters now."

In reply to Ulo (msg # 58):

"No bearing on the present? I doubt that... history not studied is doomed to repeat itself. What happened to the goblins? Did humans co-exist peacefully with them, or anyone?"

"Let's focus.", Grohm admonished with his usual gravelly voice.

"I was told we have a scout. Get up there and get to work."

In reply to Grohm'Tahl (msg # 60):

"I will need to know the way for that. do you have some sort of map, or do I just wait at every intersection?"

"Intersections will work if there is one.  Go out a fifty or hundred yards or so and report back.  Watch out for slimes,  There was a big one down here on our last run.", Grohm instructed.

In reply to Grohm'Tahl (msg # 62):

"Right. Slimes."

He takes a few small stones and throws them well ahead as he walks, scouting well ahead of the group...

Any rolls to make, or do you do them in secret?

In reply to Tommy (msg # 63):

Tommy is well aware that most of the population of the Artisanal district are goblins,who are responsible for modt of the cheaply made goods available in town, although they have some master craftsmen making fine goods.

rolls to be shown low on the post, very few rolls are done in secret.  There was no mapping recorded by the last group.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 64):

Tommy will move very stealthy, looking for hazards.

[Private to GM: Rolled 6, 11 under stealth. Rolled 5 under Perception.]

Once off the stairs, Virgilio lets the little floating candle light lapse, continuing to hold his staff well up so its torch-bright glow provides the most utility.  He watches closely how the orcs, trolls, and humans work together.

"After the goblins, you say?  That's been some time, then.  I've heard they were the original inhabitants of this world, before men, elves, orcs, and so forth came.

"As Tommy said, it's important to remember the past, beyond the stories of your grandmother's time.  Just knowing the goblins were here first is important, especially if you want to understand goblins."

“I’m here now.  That’s what matters.”

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 67):

and for that I am grateful... now where did that neko fellow get to... he was here a minute ago..."

[private to Tommy:you see that the corridor slopes to o e side,but there isa smooth wall where a turnoff would be.]

In reply to Rushagorn Brokadin (msg # 68):

Tommy will scout around, but not go far from where the turn should be unless the party goes past it

"He makes a good scout down here; with that dark fur, as soon as he's away from the light he's almost invisible."

“Furry is good in a hurry, but feathers ain’t no tethers.”

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 71):

"We are close to where our earth shaper made some changes... i want to pick up one of those slorn eggs..."

"Right, that should be the easy part. We still got torches, right? To keep the giant slime at bay?" Jendrich asks, recalling the last flight they had before reaching their destination.

"I can create a fire without any fuel that should turn the creature more effectively than torches -- up to nine yards across, if needed, and another such after the next heartbeat if I must."

In reply to Virgilio Hohlfeld (msg # 74):

Tommy continues to scout ahead...

“And if that fails, I have other methods.  Let me know if and when.”

He goes back to snacking on bird seed.

In reply to Rushagorn Brokadin (msg # 72):

"Our packs are full.  What do we leave if we collect those eggs?"

"If we are willing to travel slowly, I can move them by magic, as long as they're bundled together -- at least up to a few hundred pounds."

"How would you move them by magic?"


OOC:  Roughly how much did the individual eggs weigh?
23:08, Today: Ulo rolled 12 using 3d6.  Absent-Minded 15, remembering how many and roughly what size the eggs were.

"It is the simplest of Movement spells -- and so far, the only one I know, I'm sure I mentioned I was an apprentice -- called Apportation.  It levitates an object and moves it, but only very slowly, at about half of normal walking speed.  I can Apport up to around four hundred pounds, and I can maintain the spell indefinitely."
