 [15:12] <.Bynw[GM]> *RECAP* - The party heard riders approaching them and headed into the woods.  There they camped for the night under the protection of a Wards Major created by Vinedea.  Morning has come and the party awakens-

[15:14] <.Bynw[GM]> *the air is calm and sereine ... as Vinedea's Wards are still in place*
[15:14] * +Vinedea is still asleep
[15:15] * +DavidSeafort creeps softly over fo Vinedea and taps her shoulder.
[15:15] <+Taruk> "Everyone make their preparations we will wake Vinedea right before we are ready to leave"
[15:15] <+DavidSeafort> "O."
[15:15] <+DavidSeafort> *steps away*

[15:16] <+Chadmyr> "Yes I can"
[15:16] <+DavidSeafort> *stuffs a few extracted items into his backpack*
[15:17] <+Taruk> "David you and Vinedea will take second, keep your bows at the ready, James stay close to them and I will bring up the rear."
[15:17] <+James> ::finds some dried meat in his pack for Rufus, who can't hunt his breakfast under the Wards::
[15:17] <+Taruk> ::Goes about getting a small breakfast ready for him and Vin::
[15:18] <+DavidSeafort> "Aye, sir." *grins slightly*
[15:18] <+Taruk> ::when everyone is ready, goes to Vin and nudges her awake::
[15:19] * Joins: Myriad
[15:19] <+DavidSeafort> *restrings bow, nocks and arrow, and crouches, looking around through the wards just in case*
[15:20] * +Vinedea rubs her eyes sleepily then gets up and gathers her things
[15:20] <+Vinedea> ((if there are any to gather))
[15:20] <+Taruk> ::offers Vin her share of breakfast::

[15:21] * Bynw[GM] sets mode: +m
[15:21] <+DavidSeafort> *keeps an eye on Vinedea and a bit of the forest*
[15:21] <+Vinedea> (to Taruk) Thank you for doing this but you could have gotten me up earlier so I could help...
[15:21] <+Taruk> ::smiles:: "You needed your rest."
[15:22] <.Bynw[GM]> *the forest cannot be seen beyond the blue tint of the Wards save for vauge shapes and shadows
[15:23] <+Taruk> ((James we left the horse, we are walking))
[15:23] <+James> ((DUH!!)
[15:23] <+DavidSeafort> (( really? Ok. Not the way I remembered the wards from the King Kelson books. Must read some others ))
[15:24] * +Vinedea finishes her meal then moves to the center of the warded area, gathers her concentration, and asks the others "are you ready for whatever is out there?"
[15:24] <+Taruk> ::nocks an arrow and nods::
[15:25] <+Chadmyr> "Yep"
[15:25] <+DavidSeafort> "Gah, I have an itch." *takes hand off the string and arrow and scratches his head where the owlbear decided to write down a recipe while balancing the arrow on the bow*
[15:25] <+James> "Ready as I'll ever be . . . "
[15:26] <+DavidSeafort> "Cra--er, sorry." *restores grip on the bowstring and fletchings*
[15:27] * +Vinedea nods and raises one hand "Thank you guardians of the night, go quietly and be at peace. Amen."
[15:28] <.Bynw[GM]> *the blue tinted Warded barrier between the party and the rest of the forest disolves quickly before their eyes ... leaving behind the forest .. with a lite rolling mist covering the ground and quickly swallowing their campsite
[15:29] * +DavidSeafort listens carefully
[15:29] <+Chadmyr> :: looks arround and listens to the forests ::
[15:30] <+James> ::looks and listens, also::
[15:30] * +Vinedea quickly gathers her ward cubes as they are disappearing under the mists

[15:33] <.Bynw[GM]> *the forest echos with the sounds of life ... but nothing unusual
[15:33] <+DavidSeafort> *lifts the branch of a bush and peers through to the other side*
[15:34] <+Taruk> "Chad lets get going"
[15:34] <+Chadmyr> "I was just about to say that"
[15:34] <+James> "Yeah . . . "

[15:38] <+DavidSeafort> *attempts to look appropriately rebuffed*
[15:41] <+DavidSeafort> (( hmm, guess I'll need to start taking some ranks in Bluff, since he's started trying to ))
[15:41] <.Bynw[GM]> *the trail towards the ruins is still nothing much more than a dirt path, but still in use as it is not grown over ... it winds up the side of the mountain*
[15:41] <+Chadmyr> :: walks ahead stoping at times to watch arround ::

[15:47] <+DavidSeafort> *assuming the rest of the group isn't too loud, tries to move quietly or at least sound like one less person*
[15:47] <.Bynw[GM]> *within a couple of hours walk the forest gives way to a partial clearing, revealing the ruins of a once large castle seated against the edge of a far cliff, the area is surrounding the castle is grey with a layer of fine ash ... no trees have grown here in centuries*
[15:48] <+DavidSeafort> *stoops and examines the ash and a weedy grass than manages to survive the harsh alkaline*

[15:59] <+DavidSeafort> *after a sec, decides whatever it was isn't from an iminent threat and resumes normal looking around*
[15:59] <+Taruk> ::shakes his head slightly::

[16:02] <+Chadmyr> (( im probably out of normal hearing distance ))
[16:02] <+Taruk> "don't worry, but I think we need to find what we are looking for quickly and get out of here."
[16:02] * +Vinedea turns and walks toward the ruins where Chad went, holding Taruk's arm
[16:02] <+Vinedea> ((so I'm not blocking the bow )))

[16:03] <+James> ::heads to the ruins with the rest of the group::
[16:03] <+Taruk> ::leans in and whispers:: "What's this all about?"
[16:04] <.Bynw[GM]> * Chadmyr is only a few yards from the ruins himself ... an open doorway is visible before him, into its black interior*
[16:04] <+DavidSeafort> *due to Chadmyr's distance, keeps a bit ahead of the others, about halfway between or up to 60 meters (whichever is smaler)*
[16:05] <+Vinedea> "we need to get out of here as quickly as we can" (to Taruk)
[16:05] <+Taruk> ::nods:: "I know, where do we start looking?"

[16:07] <+Chadmyr> :: motions to the other to come closer. :: "It's seem to be a narrow hall"
[16:07] <+Taruk> :;after following for a few yards shakes free of Vin's grip:: "For the safety of everyone we cannot be like this>"
[16:07] <+Chadmyr> :: slowly start walking inside. ::
[16:08] <+James> "Since I don't know what you're looking for, I'll keep genberal lookout.  That serves my purpose of information-gathering best, anyhow."
[16:08] <.Bynw[GM]> * Chadmyr disappears into the doorway *
[16:08] * +Vinedea nods and walks in Chad's direction
[16:09] <+Taruk> ::slowly brings up the rear:: "James I think you should stay with us."
[16:09] <+Taruk> ::looks for david:: "damn where is that boy."
[16:09] <+James> "I will.  I'll just keep my attention on the surrounding, not look for a particular thing."

[16:10] <+DavidSeafort> *isn't hidden*
[16:10] <+Chadmyr> (( david can see in the dark ))
[16:11] <+Taruk> ::before entering the doorway slings his bow and replaces the arrow and draws his sword::
[16:11] <+DavidSeafort> (( Chad, what gives you that idea? ))
[16:11] <+Taruk> ::notices david:: "Get in here!"
[16:11] <+Chadmyr> ((*takes a several quick steps towards Chadmyr and pauses for a glance around*))
[16:11] <+Vinedea> "Taruk, I think we need to find the room where whomever used to live here conducted business - that would be a Great Hall or an office area"
[16:12] * +Vinedea mutters "not that you can really tell since everything is melted..."
[16:12] <+Chadmyr> (( but some light must be shed from the doorway ))
[16:12] <+DavidSeafort> *is between Taruk and Chadmyr's doorway* ((thought the generall area was fairly open))
[16:12] <+Chadmyr> ((Ok where is everybody now))
[16:12] <+James> (( If I can't see, I listen at least.))
[16:13] <+DavidSeafort> (( Chadmyr, haven't reached you. Sorry ))
[16:13] * +Vinedea calls out to Chadmyr "Chad where are you?"
[16:13] <+Taruk> ::nods to Vin:: "I am not familiar with Kirsch Castle where do we start?"
[16:14] <+Chadmyr> "I'm here nothing to worry about"
[16:14] <+DavidSeafort> *motions to Vin, then points into the doorway*
[16:14] <+James> ?? Can we see at all, or is it total darkess ??
[16:14] <+James> (( I'm not clear on that ))
[16:15] <+DavidSeafort> (( well...if everyone else has entered the doorway, then David would have gone in too. I thought only Chadmyr was inside ))
[16:15] <.Bynw[GM]> *as everyone passes through the doorway into the ruins, it is quite dark ... as the roof and any floors above and fallen on themselves ... there are periodic streams of light from above, but very hard to see*
[16:16] <+Vinedea> "your guess is as good as mine, Taruk"
[16:16] <.Bynw[GM]> *there is stone blocks and parts of rotted timber everywhere as the party slowly makes their way through the ruins*
[16:16] <+DavidSeafort> *inside a deep shadow, listens*
[16:17] <+James> ::stays with the group and listens carefully::
[16:18] <+DavidSeafort> (( rotted timber? Silly d&d. Hundred of years passed since this fel--oh yeah, blame magic. RL intruded on my thinking ))
[16:19] <+James> ??Do I need a Listen check??
[16:19] <.Bynw[GM]> (more like petrofied timber to be exact))

[16:21] <+Chadmyr> :: walks arround the place and explore the area for anything useful::
[16:22] <+DavidSeafort> *edges a hunk of salted meat out of his backpack and tears off a hunk with his teeth*
[16:22] <+James> ::Stays roughly in the center of the group, still listening::
[16:23] <+DavidSeafort> *resumes watching forward, standing against a bit of crumbled wall*
[16:23] <+DavidSeafort> *gets an idea and looks up*
[16:23] <+Taruk> ::moves to Vin:: "We are looking for a study or something similar, where would that, where is yours located?"
[16:24] * +Vinedea looks completely bewildered and a bit out of focus
[16:24] <+DavidSeafort> ? gaps? such as places where things (including me) could climb over the top of the wall to another room or floor and drop in ?
[16:24] <.Bynw[GM]> * Chadmyr has disappeared into the darkness up ahead again *
[16:24] <.Bynw[GM]> ! possibley DavidSeafort !!

[16:28] <+Taruk> "David find that dwarf and follow us."
[16:28] * +Vinedea looks around for Chadmyr and David, realizing they need desperately to stay together

[16:29] <+James> ::heads towards Taruk and Vinedea::
[16:29] <.Bynw[GM]> * Chadmyr had dissappeared into the darkness ahead ..moving quickly since his vision is not completely hindered by the darkness*
[16:30] <+DavidSeafort> *crouches, back to Vin & Co., bow half-drawn and pointed ahead, looking for Chadmyr*
[16:30] <+DavidSeafort> *listens, since he can't see much*
[16:30] <.Bynw[GM]> *the party moves through the rubble and catches a bit of bright light up ahead streaming through the ruin*

[17:46] * +Vinedea double takes looking at the Mosaic again
[17:46] * +Vinedea slowly turns back towards Taruk but keeps concentration on the mosaic
[17:46] <+DavidSeafort> *doesn't notice Vin's action, too obsorbed*
[17:47] <+James> ::to Vinedea::  "You see something in the mocaic?"
[17:47] <+James> ::moves toward Vinedea and the mosaic::
[17:47] <+Chadmyr> to david "Keep working boy don't stop now" 
[17:47] <.Bynw[GM]> * Chadmyr's axe cracks into the morter between the actual wall and the door ... sending white stone in all directions
[17:47] * +Vinedea holds her hand up "hold on"
[17:47] <+Vinedea> ((to James))
[17:47] <+James> ::stops::
[17:48] <+DavidSeafort> *didn't stop* ((OOCly looking for the GM (-: ))
[17:48] <+Taruk> ::looks down at the painting for the first time::
[17:48] <.Bynw[GM]> * Seaforts efforts are less sucessful but he does chip away at the morter as well ... a slow but sure process*
[17:49] <+DavidSeafort> *exchanges one chisel for the smallest one, givin a tap whith the mallet, sending a knob of stonepast his ear*
[17:50] * +Vinedea turns and looks at the door again with an "oh hell" expression
[17:50] <+James> "There's a connection between the painting and the mosaic, isn't there?"
[17:50] <+Vinedea> ((not frightened, just exasperated))
[17:50] <+Chadmyr> (( I can not go further the 7 o'Clock ))
[17:50] <+DavidSeafort> *gets raps and runs it up and down against the mortar, sending a stream of powder down on his knees*
[17:50] * +Vinedea nods and walks toward the door
[17:51] <.Bynw[GM]> * Chadmyr's axe is the best at hacking away the mortar*
[17:51] <+Chadmyr> :: tired of waiting Chadmyr raises is axe :: "Get out of the way boy this taking to long."
[17:51] <+James> ::watches the door and the mosaic, as well as the painting on the floor, lookig for movement::
[17:52] <+DavidSeafort> (( ha, rasp works well on most mortar around here. Wears down quickly, though. Also, there's one wall with hardened mortar that I can't even chisel... ))
[17:52] <+Chadmyr> :: barly waits for DavidSeafort to clear the space ::
[17:52] <+DavidSeafort> *chisels in between whacks :-P*
[17:52] <+Taruk> ::watches Vin as she walks to the door:: "what is it?"
[17:53] <+Vinedea> "Chad...David.... move back please..."
[17:53] * +DavidSeafort slips the thin bit of metal in the crack again, feeling.
[17:53] <+DavidSeafort> "Half a moment."
[17:53] <+Chadmyr> :: stops and gets back ::
[17:53] * +Vinedea digs in her pocket for a moment and withdraws a brass key to her own room
[17:53] <+DavidSeafort> *slides it up and around, tries the opposite side of the door, then steps back and looks at Vin expectantly*
[17:54] <+DavidSeafort> (( dinner approaches ))
[17:54] * +Vinedea holds it up in front of her towards the door
[17:54] <+Taruk> ::looks at Vin with the you've got to be kidding me look::
[17:54] <+DavidSeafort> ? assuming couldn't find anything with the tool ?
[17:55] <+James> ::watches the painting and the mosaic::
[17:55] * +Vinedea speaks several words in the language of magic then turns the key in the air and "yanks"
[17:55] * Mistyck is now known as Mistyck-Dinner
[17:55] <+Vinedea> ((she had that same look on her face when she thought of this, Taruk ))
[17:55] <+DavidSeafort> (( checking dinner proximity ))
[17:56] <.Bynw[GM]> *the motar holding the door in place blasts out in all directions as the doorway is freed from its long prison*
[17:56] <.Bynw[GM]> *at the same time there is a flash of silver light from the mosaic floor and an audible scream of unearthly pain*
[17:56] <+Chadmyr> (( my diner is arround 15 to 20 feet in proximity ))
[17:56] * Lurkey-Lurkey is now known as Turkey-Jerkey
[17:56] <.Bynw[GM]> (( END OF SESSION ))
[17:56] <+Vinedea> ((AHEM... don't worry I'll kill him))
