Friday April 3rd, 2015 11:43:58 PM

"Thanks Crosseye, I'll take good care of it." He takes the wand {Internal monologue: Wow! They gave we the wand! First time I've ever held a wand. I hope I can make it work!} and after a couple of simple gestures he tucks it away for safe keeping. He is comfortable elaborating on his family, their home, and business on the fringes of The Culverwood, but it is also clear that it has been a year or more since he has seen them in his wanderings, and briefly there is a tinge of sadness to his voice.

Later, like Carver and Atlas, he leaves the sneaky stuff around the last ridge to those more confident in their abilities, and awaits word.

Walter - Corsario for Miguel 
Saturday April 4th, 2015 12:50:30 AM

Walter grabs his weapons an prepares for combat, while staying with the rest of the fighters, behind.

OOC: Graham: Ohhh, got it. No, nothing useful in the place of the goblin vs. goblin battle.
DavidF: Cameron "magic" search turn out empty too.

Arriving at the beacon, Crosseye go ahead, being as stealthy and silent as only a ranger can.
Mack becomes almost invisible, and even you, knowing more or less where he is, are unable to stop him on the hilltop.
---
In the valley between two hills there is the remains of a big battle. Dozens of goblin corpses lay mingled with a score of orcs, trolls, horses, dogs and other creatures. Right now there are a dozen goblins as well as half a dozen goblin dogs camping at the mouth of a tunnel in the hillside.
---
Cameron also goes, as quiet as a halfling... well, maybe not so, as he steps on a rock that falls into a crevice, making some sound.
---
A goblin looks up, and try to see what that noise was about.
The goblin warrior, with a dogslicer and a small wooden shield starts moving towards you, carefully, some 80' away.
The rest of the goblins keep doing their stuff.
Sense Motive DC 15: Highlight to display spoiler: {The goblin has not seen you.}
OOC: Let me work on a battle map over the weekend.

IC: Walter verifies his weaponry, everything seeming to be in place. He takes a note of his surroundings, hoping to find something that may be advantageous to the group in case something bad happens. He doesn't like to sneak around when he is wearing his armor, but he'll be willing to risk it if need be.

Sense Motive 10, I just can't catch a break with a bear trap can I?
Cameron hears the rock go clattering down the hill, a veritable avalanche to his ears. He sees the goblin look up and grab his gear and he knows he might be in for a fight.
" I alerted one of the goblins that are over here and he is looking for what made the noise. Get ready to come save me if he finds me. They are about 100 or so feet below the crest of the hill. They have goblin dogs with them this time." Cameron whispers over the message spell. He feels it is safe to do so because of the 80 feet between himself and the goblin. Cameron otherwise freezes in place hoping that the goblin didn't see him and gets bored.

Can I see any distance into the cave?
Do they have spears? Bows?

I'm not sure how close we all are to each other, but when I hear to rock fall, I freeze to see what the goblin will do next. He's too far away at the moment for much, and we've scouted it out. I'll stay still to see if he turns around, or heads closer to us.

Monday April 6th, 2015 2:22:11 PM

While he watches the goblin poke around, Cameron comes up with a plan. When he has a firm idea, he whispers it to Zee to have her sound it out to the group.
" OK, so only one of them heard anything, and he doesn't look like he knows quite where I am or else he would have alerted the rest of them. Here's what I propose. Mack speaks goblin. So, we go down there like we belong here and tell them that the Brothers sent us to the Beacon and we need to go inside. I wear my holy symbol on the outside and if they know what's good for them they let us in. If we blow this by looking like prey or like we don't belong or they just don't believe us, the plan AT LEAST gets us blade to blade with them with none of that running up and down hills like we did yesterday. Oh, and Zee, you linked me into this message too. I can hear when you make fun of me and whisper sarcastic things while relating what I say. So far most of them are funny, but after awhile a guy could think you didn't like him."

Before I head out to scout the area ahead, I hand over the wand to 'Osul "This will serve you better I think! ". I then head out in stealth with both Mack and Cameron. To what we see I am not surprise, but so many Goblins I am and now dogs. It might better to avoid a battle but what is in that tunnel and where does it lead. To the light in the sky? I think to myself. We must report this back to group and have some sort plan this time. I then hear the rock near it was Cameron. I freeze to see what happens next. I see one goblin head towards us. I stay still waiting for him to leave. As soon as he does to head back to the other to reort we we saw.

When I get back I report was I saw and wait to hear a plan of action next.

Walter looks over to Atlas and quietly tells him, "Calm down, sir, I am sure everything will be fine. Best not to hope for bad things to happen". Walter doesn't seem to be in a fighting mood after having run afoul the last group of foul creatures...

Zee laughs at Cameron, even at a distance- such a dwarf. She relays the plan to walk up on the goblins under the guise of the Brothers' agents.

"What do you think, Guys?" Zee says skeptically.

Cameron tries to disappear in the tall grass, the goblin approaches him, nearer and nearer.
It stops just a couple of steps away.
It turns and goes back to the camp.
Mack breathes again. he haven't realized he had hold his breath.
Crosseye just smiles. It was close.
---
Cameron uses the time to check on the Goblin. He wears a collar with and insignia, an elongated sideways oval with 3 dots in the center.
The quality of it makes him think is not of Goblin manufacture.
He sees his weapons dirty with dried blood. They have been used, but the goblin don't seem hurt.
He has a dogslicer and small wooden shield, and also carries a small bow.
After the goblin departs he looks at the camp. No goblins seem hurt, and there are a couple of goblins that seem to be giving orders,
one dressed like a warrior and another like a wizard or adept, without armor or big weapons.
The cave is some 120' away, some 40' after the goblins.
The three scouts go back to the rest, ready to relay the information they gathered.

'Osul tucks the wand away safely, and slips the quarterstaff diagonally through the backpack, before he tests the pull of the goblin shortbow.

"I'm not much of a planner when it comes to this stuff. It does seem like it WILL come to blows at some point, so we should just be in the best place when that happens. If you need me to be a distraction in any way, I can certainly do that!" :)



Cameron (David F) AC 18 (T 14, FF 15) CMD 13 HP 16/16 Character Sheet 
Tuesday April 7th, 2015 1:23:50 PM

Cameron sneaks back to the others and reports.
" So there are a dozen goblins and a half dozen of what can only be goblin dogs. They look like dogs but goblins are terrified of dogs so that must be what they are. These goblins are in, for lack of a better term, uniforms. They have goblins giving orders but none of them are hurt among all that carnage down there. I think they have leadership more than what we see. I also think they have some kind of caster, probably a healer since they are not hurt. If we attack them straight up, even with surprise and that leadership shows up unannounced we could be in trouble."
"If we try to bluff our way in we might succeed or if we have to fight we might get to see all their cards before they see ours. At the very least if we make it to the tunnel we can stop them from coming at us from 3 out of 4 directions. It is a much better place to fight."

Cameron takes one of the shortbows and the small metal shield. He may as well look the part of an adventurer. He doesn't exactly know how to use a bow anymore, but he can figure out enough to be of use. How many arrows are there, and how many of us need to split them?
(The shortbows and all the gear we got from the goblins is small BTW)

"What are the chances that one or two of us could circle around to the other hill without being seen? We learned the hard way how difficult it is to climb and fight on these hills. If we can split them up with a distraction on one hill and then get the remaining forces to climb the hill we are on waiting for them, then we'll have time to dispatch with one group at a time.

"Could anyone tell how recent the battle down there was? Their healer may be out of favors for the day, which would also be beneficial. Otherwise we'll want to try and take that one out first.

"It doesn't seem like they are going anywhere from what you say, so let's take our time and do this right."


Atlas waits for the input from the others.

"They were dead, so I didn't really pay any attention to them Atlas, sorry. He is most likely evil though, so be prepared for some negative channeling if he is not completely spent. He was at (enter location where I saw the unarmored goblin) this spot and I agree he should be dispatched quickly."

Walter decides to chime in with his suggestion "I am carrying in my backpack one alchemist's fire. My idea would be to maybe give it to one of you to cause some mayhem in case bluffing does not work. At the same time, the fact that you unleashed some fire towards the enemy could be a signal for us to spring into action in case something goes wrong"

Walter pulls out his alchemist fire from his backpack and holds it in his hand.

OK, further logistical questions. Are there any large boulders up here on top of the hill? The goblins are in the valley so I think you know why I am asking. Maybe large very cylindrical trees.

I listen to the conversion and all the planing and surgestions. I will go with what ever the most agree upon. [b]" I agee we must think this out fulling with back ups. The bluff thing sound interesting but how far will it get up who knows. Line the others I think we will still be in for a fight. But we must control it and take every advantage we can get. As to placement getting to the tunnel sounds good. It keeps all us all close and our fighters and excell there. With the support protected behind. It would limit the amount of attackers at one time, but what is in that tunnel? What might come from it who knows and if there we close off a lot of escape routes. Do to the size of group they are, open fight would be problem madic. We would get overrun. Could we divid them and then kill off in smaller groups? Also what special powers do their leader/s have? What of a night attack under darkness. Waiting them out from a distance and see if they move on or lower in size? These are things we need to consider and take into account working on our plan!"

OOC: The equipment you got from the golbins is small, so a medium character can used it with a -2 to their attack rolls, and damage is for small weapons.
The entrance to the cave is in the next hill, it would be impossible to reeach it without beign noticed...
This time you will be coming down a hill, into the goblins.
The battle don't seem recent.

Cameron checks around and finds a couple boulder that with some effort can be lossened and thrown down the hill into the goblins.
OOC: So what is the plan?

"Unless you disagree, I think that we need to have someone stay up here, when things go badly. We can roll boulders down on the goblins, and I will focus on taking out the robed one that uses the magic." Zee is skeptical of the plan that involves the bluff and wants to fight using the terrain to the party's advantage. That said, she urges a plan go forward, "We have planned enough, the longer we wait the more likely we will be found."

Walter (Miguel M) AC 18, CMB 5, CMD 19, HP 19/19 Character Sheet 
Wednesday April 8th, 2015 9:54:47 AM

"Let's start with the boulders first, then we go down and attack the confused goblins", Walter says, he'd much rather take a safer route instead of potentially squishing a fellow comrade in the attempt.

Wednesday April 8th, 2015 2:48:40 PM

Between boulders, bows and magic we have a good chance of taking them from up here, but there's also a good chance that they just go into the tunnel and wait us out, or even worse, get backups. There's no perfect plan here and I like to stick with the simple approach when all things are considered equal.

"Anyone with a ranged weapon, let's line up. Carver and others, would you mind knocking a few of those boulders down on them when they start up the hill? The only thing remaining is to get them to come up. Cameron, I imagine you have something up your sleeve to get them to start charging up this hill?


Atlas pulls out his bow and realizes that it has been quite a while since he has shot it. He takes a few pulls on the string to get the feel for it again and then gets ready to head to the top of the hill after Cameron does his thing.

Cameron (David F) AC 18 (T 14, FF 15) CMD 13 HP 16/16 Character Sheet 
Wednesday April 8th, 2015 3:14:15 PM

" Aside from running to the crest of the hill and mooning them, no, I really don't. Wait a minute..."
Cameron cocks his head for a moment, as if listening to someone none of the rest of you can hear. As he does a smile spreads across his face.
" Why not, it might work. Sure, I have a plan. Tell me when you are ready, and I will start fuming like a lone dwarf, in dwarven. At the very least it will get them to send the dogs. Best case they will all come. I would suggest being ready to drop the dogs as soon as they crest the hill. They are tough by canine standards but if we are ready for them we should be able to kill them as soon as they crest the ridge. If we do then we make it sound like the dwarf is hurt and the goblins will come to finish him. Then we roll the rocks through them and shoot them up. If they reach us or turn tail we finish them in melee. I think it'll work. I speak dwarven, the trick will be hitting the lower register that most dwarves use. I am confident I can do it. Tell me when those rocks are ready and I'll start the ruse."
Cameron additionally grabs one of the long spears the goblins were using to set against the expected charge by the dogs.

"Cameron, I appreciate your flair, but lets go back to simple this time considering the advantage. You and Mack go yell at them and tell them their green skin makes you puke or something like that. Pick whatever language they might even remotely understand, and add some spitting and angry faces to get the point across. I don't care if it is one or all of them, we have the advantage of the hill and I don't want to lose that by hiding while we hope the dogs come up and attack us on level ground. Two halflings should provide the perfect bait...no offense" Atlas cracks a smile thinking about that, but you can tell he meant no offense.

Lacking the patience to talk everyone through this, Atlas walks around and lines everyone up.

Atlas, Zee, Ozul, Crosseye, and Walter are ready to step up into sight for ranged attacks at a word from Cameron or Mack. Carver is moved closest to the rocks that we would be rolling down on them, without being in sight.

" Or I could just shoot them in the face. To be honest if someone poped to the top of a hill and yelled 'you're a smelly goblin and your mom wears combat boots' I wouldn't follow them over the hill because it is obviously a trap, but sure we can do it that way."
Once Atlas has the troops lined up, Cameron moves to the edge of the hill and waves at the goblins before shooting one of the goblin dogs with the shortbow. He then steps behind whatever cover is available.

You prepare to attack, and Cameron let the first arrow fly. It misses one goblin dog, hitting the dirt next to it.
The goblins look up to see they are under attack!
Surprise Round, you all get one action (standard or move, not both)
To drop a good sized boulder on the Goblins you need to make a DC 15 Strength check, or to drop a the BBBoO (Big Bad Boulder of Obliteration) on them a DC 25 Strength check (you can use Aid Another actions to help one "main" character)

OOC: I messed up the roll, should be d20 + 6 = 21. Aside from that, since this is my first ranged fight, are my rolls correct?

IC: Walter feels like assaulting goblins from so far away is a bit cowardly, but he'd rather not get scratched or stabbed by them. He prepares his longbow and aims at whichever goblin is the closest and lets an arrow fly.

So the "Mack and Cameron lure them in because they are less threatening" was really just a waste of a couple days and I should have stabbed the goblin searching for me? Good to know.

When Zee sees the attack start, she takes aim at the robed goblin. Definitely the one to bring down, Zee slips the magic through her fingers and finds it silky and pliant as always when she is well rested.

Soon, she has muttered and fussed the magic into a gold/silver bullet and lets it fly into the chest of the robed monster. She is disappointed that it does not have the kick that it sometimes has. "Atlas, should all try to help you push the larger boulder?"

Mack: You too look correct.

Atlas, realizing that his short bow will not make it all the way to the goblins until they start their way up the hill, decides to kick a good sized boulder down the hill at them while he waits.

"Zee, I'll probably have a few more seconds before they are in full range of my bow, but I'm thinking that we should help Carver with one of those really big boulders after these two make their way down.

--------------------------------
Good Sized Boulder: 1d20+3=22 (pass)
Damage: I don't know what to roll here

OOC: David...yeah, probably was a waste of a few days, but we're a group still getting to know each other and a forum game doesn't really allow us to have a quick back and forth to figure out the best approach. My goal was to get 3-4 of them to run up the hill after the halflings. After they get about half way up we all pop up and start attacking, then the rest rush up. Those few rounds of division, because we know how hard it is to climb a hill, would have been very helpful. Defeat the 3-4, then defeat the rest. However, I apparently failed to explain it well, because folks didn't do that. That falls on me. I'll try to explain better next time, but either way I would appreciate it if we accepted that this isn't going to be perfect and we just have fun with the way things happen and work with it. Had your post been in character I would have accepted it as playing it out (heck that sounds very Cameron to be honest with you), but your post was OOC, which has a completely different meaning IMO and I'm having a hard time finding positive intent in it.

OOC
Miguel, in a surprise round, which is what we just resolved, you get one action, move or standard. Thus alot of the actions that were posted never happened. Some were full round things like rapid fire, some folks thought we were on to the next round already, even my added shot was more than the surprise round allowed for, so we hit the guys that we hit, they react and mostly hid and now we take out the trash that's left in sight, namely the chief and the robed goblin. Probably, Corsario just downgraded any actions that were too much to single shots using the first roll any of us made.
To reiterate what John said, Trey, the range listed in the first range increment where no penalties apply for range. Most thrown weapons go out to I think 5 range categories, adding -2 for each, and bows and crossbows can go to 10 range categories at -2 for each. Believe it or not some battles we have fought in Agents of the Fist started at 10 range categories. They were against lightly armored foes and there were far out hits, but only for people with plenty of skill and spectacular rolls. At that kind of range you hope for a 20, anything else is just too low. I am up against a -4 for non-proficiency, but at only 1 range category I still have a shot so I am making the rolls. Like Cade, I am waiting for the other shoe to drop, because this is just too easy. We may need that big rock for whatever comes next. I am just afraid that whatever we roll it at, might throw it back.

Cameron's and Walter's arrows miss badly.
Crosseye fires at the goblin "wizard", which is taking cover behind a cart, almost invisible from your place. Those of you with good sight see how Crosseye's arrow falls just next to the cart border and digs itself on the goblin's eye, killing it instantly.
Mack fires at another goblin, covered by a tree, and the branches stops his arrow.
Zee fires a magic attack at the chieftain, whose pain howling reach even that far away. She looks around fearing an ambust, but sees nothing.
With no other "good sized boulders" around, both Carver and Atlas join forces trying to move the BBBoD (Big Bad Boulder of Destruction). The huge boulder starts to raise from his resting place, and sudently, and making a huge noise, starts rolling down the hill side.
Some of the goblins have the good sense to run away from the path, but a couple doesn't. The boulder tramples trees, ground, goblins, cart and chieftain leaving a swat of mud, splinters, blood and bone in his path.
There remain 5 goblin warrior and 6 goblin dogs. The goblin dogs, in the confusion after the BBBoD are freed to run towards you, charging, barking and howling while advancing! They should be on top of you next turn.
Only three goblins manage to fires their bows, against Carver, Atlas and Zee.
Carver is hit for 2 hp, and Zee for 1 hp.

She had been in fights in the orphanage, she had had a scrap or two with the street kids that prowled the districts and quarters of Plateau City, but Orba dreaded this day. The day that she took damage in battle: Would she run scared, would she fail her team, or would she die from the wound?

As Zee pulled the poorly crafted arrow from her thigh it was not fear, or terror, or even despair that she felt... It was cold, furious rage! How dare those toady, little mug-whumps fire at her and hers! How dare they! She found quick resolve and furious focus hurled the next magic missile at a chattering, laughing goblin's oversized head. Maybe, Crosseye's arrow did get stopped by a tree, but Zee's wasn't.

Zee slipped her kukri from her scabbard. Maybe she had not been trained perfectly how to use the chopping tool, but goblin dogs had not been trained how to deal with her either!

He drops it in disgust and draws his whip to assist Atlas and Carver.

If you have the Rapid Shot Feat like Crosseye, then yes, you can. Both shots would be at -2 to hit like the feat says.
Critical threats, like rolling a 20 to hit with a bow, require you to roll again to hit to confirm the critical hit. In the case of the bow if you confirm the hit then you roll damage 3 times, the multiplier for a bow.

OOC: the Goblin Dogs have a 50' speed, so in a double move (or charge) they normally move 100', and "upstream" only 50'. So they advance 50' last round, and they are only 30' from you. You could charge at them, or ready attacks against them when they get in range. The Golbin Dogs are AC 13 HP 9.
So I will "freeze" this moment so you can choose...
Mack: You can only attack once, except when you have +6 or higher Base Attack Bonus, or a feat like Rapid Shot, or TWF and using two weapons (which you don't with the bow)

Atlas moves to intercept the goblin dogs... (are you readying for when they charge at you? Or do you want to charge after Carver? Make your attack)
Carver charges against the first of them (make your attack)
Zee readies an attack against the dogs (make your attack, in case they attack you).
'Osul fires at the first Goblin Dog but misses ('Osul action is taken, you could move behind Carver if you want... do you move, or do you keep with Zee? - no attack in any case)
Cameron also fires and misses, gets his whip out, and prepares (Do you move behind Carver? You can move and draw a weapon as part of the move action if you want... And if you do, roll an AoO against the first dog)
Mack fires an arrow and misses (You can do as 'Osul, and moving into melee, or you can stay back - no attack in any case)
Walter is the only one that connects and arrow, hurting one of the Goblin Dogs (Walter actions are done, but he can also choose to move into melee if he wants - no attack in any case)

With the dogs running up at us I want to help my attacking friends as much as possible I let lose 2 arrows this time. (using feat rapid shot so I get +4-2=+2) on attack roll) Aiming at the charging up dogs, the first one misses but the second one finds it mark on one of the running dogs.

Shot one attack roll - 9 miss
Shot 2 attack roll - 17 hit

Cameron sticks with Carver, watching the Centaur's back. With the shield he feels armored enough to protect himself and help keep Carver standing. He will keep the dogs down while Carver dispatches them. He readies an action to trip the first dog within 15 feet of himself. If one closes closer he will also take an attack of Opportunity against it.

AoO to trip beats CMD 15

"If these dogs are like other dogs and wolves, then expect them to try to trip us up!"
Half out loud he weighs up the options of Entangling the dogs, or summoning an eagle or the raw power of the storm on the goblin "wizard" next round.

CMD vs Trip for a Goblin Dog is 18.
Miguel: You use your standard action to fire the bow, and your move action to close to Zee while draawing your scimitar... Getting the shield down will need another move action next round.
Eric: Mack already fire and miss this round. You can use your attack roll for next round

Zee remains at the top of the hill, ready to defend herself if a goblin dogs attacks her.
Walter fires an arrow that connects with one of the Goblin Dogs, and then he moves next to Zee while drawing his scimitar.
Mack fires and misses, and quickly surveys the hill. Nothing seems to be closing on you besides the Goblin Dogs.
Crosseye fires two arrows at the same dog Walter hit, and his arrow, hitting it on the shoulder, finally kills it.
'Osul fires an arrow that misses its mark and then moves downhill, slowly, while drawing his quaterstaff.
Cameron moves behind Carver, and tries to trip the first goblin dog charging the centaur, and manages to hit one leg, but the dog uses the others to keep the charge.
It doesn't make much difference, as Carver's lance rips it apart.
Next to it Atlas quickly dispatches another of the Goblin Dogs, with a powerful sword swing.
---
There are 3 unharmed goblins dogs charging at you and 5 goblins archers at the bottom of the hill.
---
The three Goblin dogs charge, one against 'Osul, other against Cameron and the last against Atlas.
(Carver, I think you can get an attack of oportunity against one of them, roll a 1d3 to see which of the three you attack, 1 'Osul's, 2 Cameron's and 3 Atlas's)
Only the Goblin Dog attacking 'Osul manages to bite him, causing a deep would in the Druid's leg. (7 hp damage)

The Goblin Archers fire against Zee, seeing in the sorceress the biggest threath (and the easiest prey).
The arrows fly true and 3 of them pierce the young woman clothes an skin, hurting her as she has never been hurt. She collapses, and a last one aims directly to her neck, but Walter is barely able to move her, in such a way the arrow only makes a superficial cut.
Cade: 10 hp damage

Zee screams out in pain, and the pain of true wounds has her sob and gasp for air. This attack was coming someday, but Zee was not prepared... blood and magic flow from her body. "Oh, oh, gods. Walter! It hurts!"

Zee is prone, but she thinks of her bag. She pulls a carmel apple from the sack and bites down on the sweet, sticky treat. It invigorates and satisfies her, ((providing benefits identical to the cure light wounds spell (CL1st). 1d8 +1)).

Then she tries to scramble to her feet.

'Osul lets loose a harsh syllable. If it belongs to any language it is not of Common.
He has no choice but to bear the steadily growing rash and itch. If his dog is still up, he takes one mighty swing at it with his quarterstaff {Hitting AC: 15 for 3 damage}.
He sees the apple in Zee's hands and stops heading in that direction, and instead moves to a place with some cover from the other dogs.

You do not beat the animal for doing what it does. Now, let us talk about its master... how far away are the goblins?

Cameron's tactical mind surveys the battlefield and decides to attack the real threat. The dogs are merely meant to distract and hold them so that the archers, well versed in their trade can kill them. Cameron dodges around the dog in front of him and heads down the hill to deal with the archers. After he moves clear of the dog he calls on Jancassis to protect him. (cast Shield of Faith)
" Finish the dogs as fast as you can. This is just a killing jar set up to have the dogs delay us while the archers feather us to death. Caver stop fooling around with both weapons and just trample those doges. I think I can fix whatever they did to 'Osul, so don't be afraid of it. Don't leave me hanging down here. The Lady can only protect me for so long."

Um, no one should be 'down'. Zee took some damage. If Cade wishes to roleplay being knocked down by it then yes, Zee has fallen. 'Osul mentioned in passing that as a rule, dogs, wolves, in general most canines use trip against their opponents. The Goblin dogs have done none of this. Zee is tougher than many of us and can take care of herself. If every 'guy' in the group rushes over to the 'girl' in the group every time she gets a boo boo we will all die horribly.
That was my out of character version, now Cameron will turn on his charm in character.
By the way, Cade you didn't add the 7 points of healing to your header, They might be reacting to the low HP total you still have up there.
Miguel if you can move and draw a weapon you can move and ready a shield.

IC
Cameron, the smallest and frailest of the group heads down the hill to take care of business and... half the group rushes over to take care of a functional and as far as he could tell, very angry Zee. Cameron had not failed to see the reaction she had when first wounded. It wasn't fear, it was anger and a desire for revenge. The Lady had special plans for Zee, Cameron had no doubt. Odd she could not see the threads of fate that danced around her. They found Zee, comfortably surviving in a forest that was ready and able to rip them apart without any problem. It will take far more than some goblin arrows to kill her. At least Mack is returning fire while gawking.
Cameron's acidic voice can be heard from below.
" Guys, the goblins with the bows are not going to stop shooting her if you make her look important by running over there to look at her wound. She has already manned up and rubbed some dirt in it and carried on. I suggest the rest of you do the same. I can't kill these by myself and if all the warriors stand up there fawning over Zee's boo boo you will have matching ones real soon. The mostly unmolested goblins with the bows and uniforms guarantee it. Now quit lollygagging and kill some goblins."
Cameron is sure he is not a popular guy right now. Sooner or later he may need to work on his social interactions with his friends. Apparently today would not be that day.

OOC: Walter, you have a standard action and a move action. Put yourself in front of Zee is a move action. With your standard action you can make an attack, move again, or get your shield out. I will say you get your shield out.
OOC: David F: Yes, I "winged" Zee's falling to prone position. Just for "thrills". No harm done, I think. On the other hand, I think is very good RP from some of the others to try and protect a badly hurt companion (not necessarily because is a girl). In "real life" that happens a lot, you stop to help the hurt comrades instead of pursuing combat. And I think is VERY good RP for Cameron not to do it, and feel angry at the others for what they did.

-----
Before the goblin dog can attack 'Osul Carver uses his lance to try and kill it. He opens a big gash in the dog's flank, but even so the single mindedness of the dog makes it continue its attack.
He follows up trying to make attacks both with his longsword and shield but fails, as he is not used to use both.
Walter gets his shield out and stands in front of Zee, covering her with his own body.
Zee screams in pain, but manages to remember the magic apple she carries. She eat it and feel her wounds closing. She stands behind Walter.
Crosseye, worried, helps Zee stand.
'Osul feels a powerful itch in the zone where he was bitten, but manages to keep his mind in the fight ahead and kills the goblin dog using his Quarterstaff, with a well placed hit to its head.
Atlas braces against the dog attack and manages to avoid the nasty bite. He lashes out with his sword again and manages to catch the dog in front of him with the tip of his blade, carving a significant gash in the creatures neck and shoulder.
Cameron tries to move past the Goblin Dog, which in turn takes a bite on him (His Attack of Opportunity against Cameron moving away while threatened). Cameron feels the teeth on his thigh, but his armor protects him from harm.
He moves halfway the distance towards the archers (He can reach them next turn) and call for Jancassis protection.
Mack fires on an archer, hitting him.
-----
1 very hurt (2 HP remaining) in front of Atlas and another left behind by Cameron, unharmed.
5 Goblins archers left, only 1 hurt (3 hp left).
-----
The goblin dog in front of Atlas tries to bite him again. It clasp on Atlas leg, trying to shake the human warrior, but Atlas is unharmed and stable.
The other goblin dog attacks 'Osul, but while trying to pass over the dead dog in front of 'Osul its attack is far away from the Druid.
The archers see Cameron charging them, and proceed to let a rain of arrows fall on the lonely halfling.
The arrows are shot point back to the halfling body, but the observant within your group see how the arrows are magically deflected away, and only one of them manage to make a small flesh wound on the cleric (incredible only 1 hp of damage to Cameron).
One of the goblin archers have his bow break, and proceeds to draw a dogslicer, growling at the cleric.

With only one dog left, and it being wounded, Carver looks down the hill, smiles and charges at the closest Goblin. (remember he only needs 10' in a straight line to charge the rest can be twists and turns)

Cameron smiles. As far as those archers are concerned, Carver is only the death aspect of Gargul. Grouped together he doubts that any of them will even hit the centaur before he tramples them into goo. The dog has left him in search of easier targets, he hopes that the new guy, Walter he thinks it was, can finish the dog that thought he was too tough. With cold detachment Cameron moves toward the archers. The nick to his cheek a strident reminder of The Lady's faith in him, as he puts his faith in her. The Lady's hand has protected him, and now he repays the favor by taking vengeance for all these goblins have ever done. The whip moves like a deadly viper in his hand. 10 feet from the one with the dogslicer Cameron stops, and the whip snaps out wrapping for the briefest instant around the dogclicer and ripping it from his grip. the weapon clatters to the ground out of his reach and now he stands with a stinging hand vs the raging centaur paladin. Cameron's cold smile and empty eyes tell the archer turned footman all that he needs to know. Death and vengeance have come for him today, and he will not leave this field alive.
" Disarmed the brave one Carver, slay them at your leisure. I have your back. Thanks for having mine brother."

Atttack to disarm succeeds vs a CMD of 24, if it can be critical it confirms to 14. The dogslicer should go spinning from his hand unless he has superglue to hold it there 8). Any goblins adjacent to Cameron ( I don't intend to let there be any, but it could happen) with melee weapons get an AoO vs Cameron for using the whip near them.
Any goblins that move toward Cameron that provoke an AoO he tries to trip beating CMD 8 ( so none, basically) Please remember that Cameron only threatens the squares near him, not the 15 foot reach of the whip ( odd, I know, but the rules as I read them)

Zee stands at the top of the hill, and is all the sound, fury, and arcana that one can embody at this early stage of her career. Yes, there is rage and anger at being hurt... at her friends being attacked... at the general evil taint of the goblin race. It is rage, anger, but it is tempered, and Zee uses that temperament to hurl a silver and gold bullet straight past Cameron's left ear at a goblin archer.

More than just the angry thirst for justice, there is love and loyalty for her little family. Her little group of heroes in this horrible place that seems to grow each and every day. "Go, Walter, Cameron is going to be used for a pin cushion with out you." Zee smiles because she has more up her sleeve, "I can handle the next part." Zee slips her hand out and captures the last threads of the first spell and soon jerks a knot into the magic and unleashes a second spell. This one hurtles around Cameron's right year to hit yet another goblin. Complaining little dwarf in halfling breeches, she sneers to herself.

OOC: Walter, you could have attacked last round...
About the Golbin Commander, there is a wet stop in the ground where the Big Bad Boulder of Destruction roll over him.

-----
As Carver moves to charge on the goblin archers both the remaining goblin dogs try to bite him. One of them does it (causing 9 HP damage) while the other gets kicked in the teeth (the second goblin dog looses 1 hp for fumbling). Carver reaches the archers, and charges to them, but they avoid his lance.
Cameron, blessed by her goddess, whips the dogslicer out of the only goblin without a bow, and sends it flying into one of the archers (Critical Disarm - the goblin archer gets 2 hp damage).
Atlas dancing with the dog that bite him, but is unable to kill it or dislodge it (RP only, you are not grappled).
Mack fires at the hurt goblin archer, but barely manages to scrape it.
Walter holds his ground, but as his friends ask him to advance, he does.
'Osul takes a step away from the dog in front of him and makes the grass at the goblin archers feet to move and grapple them! Incredibly all the goblins manage to avoid beign entangled, but he manages to make them run! All of the goblin archers run away in different directions, broken and in rout!
But the ones hurt are reached by Zee's spells and both fall to the ground, dead!
Crosseye aims for the archers, but seeing them run away he let them go.
-----
Goblin Dogs: 1 very hurt (2 HP remaining) in front of Atlas and another attacking 'Osul, almost unharmed.
Only 3 Goblins archers left, running away.
-----
The goblin dog biting on Atlas keeps pulling his leg, but without hurting the figther, nor making it fall.
The other goblin dog attacks 'Osul, jumping towards his neck, and missing for a palm his jugular vein ('Osul takes 3 hp damage, no need for Saving Throw).
Your turn!

Carver swift actions Lay on Hands, then charges around the area of entangle, charging one of the fleeing goblins.

Cameron half heartedly follows the fleeing goblins. Remembering the problems caused by their last prisoner he makes only one attempt to trip the goblin but his aim is awful. Hoping the dogs will be finished off this round he examines the opening to that he assumes is the Beacon.
Attack beats CMD 7 to trip a fleeing goblin(pretty sure that missed)

OOC: Earl: Yes, Crosseye takes a -4 because of firing into melee.
John C: As a large creature, when in melee with several creatures, you will suffer AoO almost every time if you try to run past them... I put a "note" in your post to warn you about it, maybe you didn't see it. Also, you can't charge "around the area of entangle", only directly... But it is same to say you can move to reach one of them and "explode" him...

-----
Crosseye fires against the most hurt goblin dog, finally killing it.
Carver attacks one of the fleeing goblins and kill him by the back... not very nice of him.
Cameron heartlessly tries to trip a fleeing goblin, without success. He sees the tunnel entrance... seems dark and empty.
Atlas keeps shaking the Goblin Dog around, without dislodging it.
Walter arrives to help him, but worrying of cutting Atlas's leg off, also miss his attack.
Zee also tries to help Atlas, but only succeed in hitting the fighter in the shin.
Mack also fires against it, but his arrow hit the dirt a foot away from it.
'Osul heals himself of the rash that has been bothering him, and tries to talk the Goblin Dog out of combat.
-----
The goblin dog biting on Atlas seems to hear 'Osul words, and release the fighter's leg. He stands still in the middle of you, growling, but not attacking.
The last goblin archer runs away as fast as he is able, making sounds that can be interpreted as crying...

OOC: Read Centaur Charge... as a Centaur with the feat, you can move the full distance in any series of movements, and only the final 10' of movement is required to be in a straight line. Example... I start charging east, go 30', take a corner around a building and charge 10' traveling less than my full charge, but because the final10' are straight at my target, it's a charge move. If I wanted to, I run away from a target, charging, turn 180 degrees and charge straight back at the guy I went away from, as long as the final 10' are straight it's still a charge move. So yes, a Centaur with the feat can charge around the entangle.
This is why a map is important, because if they had split up to attack everyone as it seemed they had, the area in front of Carver should have been open enough to pass through, with out an AoO, but its neither here or there now.....

Carver will chase down the remaining Goblin, they're evil, they cause destruction, he's a paladin and killing him now just probably will save someones life in the future.
Again, charging after the goblin, Carver makes use of his longsword.

'Osul doesn't break eye contact with the dog. "Crosseye? He can definitely be an inconvenience and a hindrance - no maybe about it.

But, I see no future for him if he doesn't leave now."

First, Cameron casts detect magic and surveys the goblin bodies. Like Mack he wants to be sure they do not leave any valuables behind. He stows his whip and draws a dagger. Any still living goblins he finds will be offered mercy from a lingering death. Once this is complete, he is prepared to move on into the hillside. ( did you mention goblin tents? If so he searches them too.)
Cameron moves to the opening, trying to see if it leads to the place that they suspect of being the source of the lights. He motions the others to him as Carver deals with the last goblin. He smiles inwardly to see 'Osul talking down the goblin dogs. It appears as if they will listen to him and leave, being smarter than their goblin masters.

I realize I have posted more than 1 round of actions. If we are still in combat rounds these actions are in the order he wants them to happen, so he does whatever Cameron can in the time he has. Please let me know how much time passes so that I can increment my spell

Atlas watches Crosseye try to sooth the dog. The second time it seems to go better. However, if that is not enough then Atlas just tries to shoo the dog away. If that doesn't work and it's still looking like it is going to attack us then he tries to put it out of its misery. Unfortunately the dog is quite agile.

Atlas goes to the entry of the tunnel and inspects it to see what he observes.

Crosseye tries to communicate with the Goblin Dog. The resulting bristling if fur and growling hiss with bared teeth assures him of his failure to make headway on that front.
Mack stands at the ready in case the creature makes a move at Crosseye. It does not.
Osul voices his opinion the animal simply be allowed to run off.
Zee moves and provides it an avenue of escape.
Cameron assists any goblins in need to the next life and notices the Goblin Dog bolting through the escape route Zee provided
Walter stumbles upon a book, partially buried under some grass. Not likely from the goblins, but here before any arrived
Atlas stands watch as well

Combat oVer.

Searching the area and goblins you discover that each is branded with an elongated sideways oval with 3 dots in the center.
Detect Magic finds 2 potions, a set of small studded leather and small wooden shield on what was likely the leader.
A search of the camp brings some treasure as well an expanded view of what might be going on. The Camp consists of 6 tents, a fenced area and supplies of a general nature that would last the former owners several weeks. You also find a funeral pyre of sorts where some bodies have been burned. Inside one of the tents under a filthy piles of skins and furs, you find an iron bound chest. It is not locked and contains 2,500 gold and 200 silver

The camp has been set up about 120' from the small tunnel entrance.

Atlas gives a hoot when he hears about the gold. "Well now, that's a treasure! Only problem is how we're going to carry it without it bogging us down. We could bury it and get it on the way out. I mean, we are going to have to go into that tunnel to finish this quest. It looks pretty tight in there as well, so the more agile we are the better. I'm open to other thoughts if you have them."

As the others look around Atlas takes up residence at the entrance to the tunnel. He's not going to let them get surprised with an army of kobolds or worse.

While on watch, he also eyes the tents, wondering if it would be a good idea to pack one of them up for the road.

Oh and do be careful not to get any goblin on your shoes. That boulder worked pretty good but I am sure that goblin will not wash out of leather."

Question of Treasure 
Thursday April 23rd, 2015 11:21:15 PM

The group has a couple different views on what to do with the treasure. Stash it or carry it. If it going to be carried in something other than the chest it is currently in. folks need to start filling bags.
Cameron's healing washes over the group to mend any minor wounds
See and Crosseye are at the tunnel entrance keeping an eye out. It is a shallow 15' tunnel that ends in a granite slab with a stone door carved into it. The door is quite large, nearly 11' high and just over 5' wide. From the mouth of the tunnel you can see runes carved into it and there is a hum emanating from somewhere coming out of the tunnel.
Atlas looks closer at the tents, but they are little more than filthy rags layered over hickory poles
Mack offers Carver a few Goodberries to heal the last of his wounds (Eat and roll away Carver)

Only if you have at least 1 rank can you roll for this

I'll carry what I can. I get encumbered very easily, but since I'm not the main combatant, maybe that doesn't matter too much. Magic items first, gold 2nd. Maybe I can make a rough sack (or find one) so I can carry some, but drop quickly and easily if needed. I can certainly carry that shield if no one is going to use it. Easy to drop.

If my friends are ok with it, Carver we will get him what he needs to carry treasure and stuff when we get back to the tree out of the gold we get. I am ok with have a group gold holding for party stuff like potions up grades as I have a chest back a the tree with a lock that we can store it in. Like a group hold bank as long as everyone is ok. I would say we divid up some of the gold put also put a percent away for party things or available is some is short for a upgrade? Like if Carver wants saddle bags we all benfit from so come from the group part and stuff like healing potions or mats for for spells etc. As one gets strong we all get stronger.

'Osul is happy with the arrangements with the treasure, and offers no alternative.

"Mack? I think I can help you there. Two sacks tied together at the mouths can do for saddlebags for now." From his backpack 'Osul removes two neatly folded sacks and holds them open for treasure collection.

He then waits to see if Cameron's reading of the runes prompts some reaction in the tunnel.

" The Lady prepares me with everything I need to do her will. If saving the Tree and making sure they know I am a useful friend to them is her will, which I believe it is, she will see me through this and get us in here."
Cameron resumes considering the words on the wall. He is sure they are a code, and believes that failure to align them properly results in a burning death for the person that fails. He assumes that the tribes are drawn by the lights and when they arrive they fight for the right to enter the door and some die trying to gain entrance.

DM Question, you mentioned that some of the bodies out in the field had been burned, correct?

Cameron casts a spell and reads the runes, relaying what they say to the group. Is a riddle of some sort is now the question? Cameron's reading of the runes caused nothing to occur.
Mack comments that being near the door when the Beacon goes off around midnight, likely results in a bad night for any nearby.

Cameron's Detect magic allows him to pick up on a faint magic aura about the granite slab. Know Arcana DC 18 Highlight to display spoiler: {Evocation}

To Mack he answers.
"Yes, that light could have burned those corpses. I wonder if we would be safe in there during the night, or if we will need to get out before it."
He waits to see if Carver's try to guess a code opens the door.
If it doesn't, he puts his shoulder against it, while saying:

"I can detect magic, and there is some on the door. However I never studied magic, so I have no idea what kind it is. Looking at the tunnel and the burned bodies outside, I would assume that the beacon draws the tribes here and they vie for the chance to open the door. The losers rot and the winners go in and either speak the runes aloud like Carver did, or touch them, which I will try if Carver speaking them didn't work. My guess is that if you get the combination or order wrong, you get burned by something like a jet of fire, hence the burn marks. I wonder what the reward is for getting it right? Probably all the tribes here rally to your banner and you get to tell them what to do."
"With that in mind, everyone get ut the tabbards that Zee made us. If we open it we need to provide a uniformed presence for them to recognize. Oh, and 'Osul, please stand by to put me out and restore life to my body if this goes the other way, eh?"
"OK, so what order did you say Carver?"

While he speaks, Cameron steps out of the tunnel and takes off his gear, at least the gear that will burn. This will take him a few rounds. When he is done he intends to step back into the tunnel, shoo everyone else out, and touch the runes in the order Carver suggested, unless someone else comes up with a better phrase.

((Sorry for the miss, I was/am under the weather.))

Zee points out that she can "touch" the stone runes without standing in the blast zone; she casts Magic Hand and touches the runes while none of the party are in the tunnel. As she does this she repeats Carver's phrasing, "To Speak to The Gods, Gargul and Alemi, the Gifts to Man, Creation of Fire to The Heavens."

A granite door 
Tuesday April 28th, 2015 9:04:19 AM

The group discusses the runes and what they might mean and to a greater extent what might lie beyond the door. The are a password perhaps, and so with Cameron's reading and Carvers organization of them, Cameron prepares to touch them in that same order.
The group exits the short tunnel and clears back to where they are no longer standing upon any scorched earth as Cameron drops some gear and then goes back in. The party stands just over 40' from Cameron and with the tunnel shadows and his short nature, he's hard to see if you don't know wheee you are looking.

Cameron extends a hand and slowly comes into contact with the smooth, cool granite of the door. Blinking he realizes that he wanted to touch the runes, but here he was, his hand pressed flat against the stone. Even while thinking about, still his hand is on the delightfully smooth, cool and refreshing stone. Thoughts of home, faded memories come to mind. The meat cooking over the low heat fires. The sounds of hammer on anvil, Dwarven work songs, the calm of being in the deep. Cameron's hand then slides to each of the runes, To Speak, The Gods, Gargul and Alemi, Gifts to Man, Creation, Fire, The Heavens.

Cameron takes a step back and inhales deeply. He is unharmed, the door remains closed.

He mulls about the words in his mind, trying to recall the stories from when he was a young lad.
The Gods, Gargul and Alemi, the Gifts to Man, Creation of Fire To Speak to The Heavens. Nope, not quite there.

Also, we know that the light is coming from a place that points up as well, so there may very well be other entrances as well. They are probably all locked, but it would be good to get a lay for the land and situation.

Knowledge Religion 15
Cameron seems mesmerized, one hand still resting flat on the door.
Home.
It had not been so long since he had been there, for Morgan's funeral, yet it felt like an eternity. The stone somehow reminded him of it, but it was more than just the feel of the door, it was something else. The door felt safe, comfortable, inviting. All he had to do was get the combination right. What was the combination though...

He hears Walter behind him and a soft chuckle escapes his lips.
" I get the feeling that a crack team of dwarven sappers would die of old age before they could open this by force. There is power here. Old power. Real power. It is in the stone, around the stone, maybe even it IS the stone. Force won't do us any good here. This is work for the soul."
He rests his cheek against the stone, wanting to feel the comfort and the safety of the dwarven halls again. His mind races about what they are missing. Either the order is wrong, or maybe, not all of the words are supposed to be used.
Through the touch of the stone, Cameron gets the vibe that there are two phrases that will work here. He thinks back to his religious training, scant though it was, it taught the history of the Gods, The stone definitely is offering comfort, acceptance and peace when he touches it, so he focuses on Alemi and words associated with him from those given. Zee's touch inspires his confidence in this path and in his memory of his classes.
Were he evil, Cameron figures he would see the older, Evil side of Gargul, before he tempered his role as the God of LIFE and death. for this reason, he focuses on Alemi and his history. He figures the evil combination is what activated the beacon, and that goodness will deactivate it. The only question he has is, Who turned it on and what will they do once it is shut off?
Alemi formed a school for good people to combat the evil monstrous races. He based this school at the house of Creation. When Gargul used the power of the dragons for evil, Alemi used the Gifts of the Gods To Speak to The Gods and solve the problem. These are the phrases Cameron concentrates on as he touches the door. If nothing happens while he does this he touches the phrases in this order.
Alemi, Creation, Gifts of the Gods, To Speak, The Gods

Atlas is getting frustrated that he cannot do more to help. Cameron, Zee, 'Osul, is there anything we can help with? We did check the door for traps right? I don't know why I didn't think of that before, I guess I just assumed. Anyway, keep up the good work, and keep speaking out loud like you are. Maybe it will spark an intelligent thought in the rest of us non-scholors."

A granite door 
Wednesday April 29th, 2015 11:37:00 AM

At Atlas's suggestion, Mack and Crosseye head out to take a patrol around the area.
Cameron continues to work at the puzzle of the door. Hes tries another combination, Alemi; Creation; Gifts of the Gods; To Speak; The Gods.
The door remains closed.

Carver suggests that perhaps the group needs to offer a gift themselves.

Everyone but Cameron is at least 40' away. Mack and Crosseye are now much further taking a patrol route about the area. The vantage point on top of the hill allows for a few miles to be taken in and the pair sees nothing heading their direction. What they do find, however, is that the same spiderweb scorch marks are all bout the hilltop and hillsides. So far no other entrances into the hill have been discovered

The sun is high above the Red Hills and a warm breeze is blowing in from the south

Zee sets out on the ground and begins to clean and fiddle with her kukri, this strange downward curving sword/ax, she sits there pondering this new problem. What does this mean? How do Alemi and Gargul relate to this light? What should we do next? Why have I been brought here?

As the nascent sorceress ruminates on these things, small flittering prestidigitations take flight around her: a black and gold dragon, a sinewy silver and white dragon, the Old Woldian signs of the Gods, Alemi, and Gargul. Soon, it is hard to see the girl for all of the magic pictures between her and the world. When her eyes open, it is obvious that she has found a trance like state. Her eyes are filled with a warm gold light and she stares past you all toward the edifice.

The new combination doesn't work either, but Cameron thinks he is on to something. Creation could also refer to life, one of Gargul's aspects. If that is the case he should probably remove that word fro the mix and maybe the door will open.There are eight runes so it would follow that 4 start the beacon and four stop it. Cameron used five on his last try, so now he edits it down to four. First he touches the door and thinks the phrases, then speaks the phrases, then if neither have worked he touches the runes. He uses these words this time. Alemi, Gift of the Gods, to Speak, the Gods

A granite door 
Thursday April 30th, 2015 11:17:21 AM

Zee sits and falls into a contemplative self induced trance. What was being overlooked? What could the runes carved into the door mean? Are the runes just decorative? Was this a great puzzle to unravel or is it just a door? Sometimes things are just as they appear to be

Cameron works through his own logical take on the Runes. 8 symbols and 2 deities and so 4 symbols for each including their name. Following his thought he tries to guess at what symbols would be strictly with Alemi. The door remains closed.

Atop the hill, Crosseye and Mack move carefully about investigating the burn marks. Crosseye does not believe they were caused by a fire. The dance and zigzag about and fires do not burn like that. No this is more like....and then is dawns on him, a lightning strike. The top of the hill seems to be the epicenter and spreading out from it in 260' in all direction the pair of heroes can see the dancing spiderweb pattern of burn marks. Anything within 40' of the bottom of the hill has been struck and from Crosseye's keen observation he thinks what he is looking at is the result of repeated strikes to the hilltop. Maybe even every night.

If anyone takes note, not that Zee does, the tiny illusory dragons lock in mortal combat and sink, unnoticed into the kukri.

He is sure that he is missing something and sits down, traveling deeper into himself to try and figure out what it is. If nothing the others have tried works, then Cameron returns to the door and uses the other 4 symbols. Again he concentrates while touching the door. hen he speaks the runes while touching the door, then he touches the runes. He uses these runes this time. Gargul, Creation, Fire, and The Heavens.

Atlas takes a moment to ponder the thought Carver casually tossed out there. "Well, that's a new idea. However, how do we not get blasted, either by the lighting or whatever might come out of this door at midnight? I don't have any initial ideas on that. A lot of help I am today."

Atlas looks at the ground right in front of the door, within the tunnel. Is that scorched as well?

I put my hands under my armpits, pull them out, take a big whiff, and try the door again.

Cameron waits to see what happens.

Walter feels disgust over what Mack's behavior. Without the smelly armpit incentive, he tries for the door again.

Beyond the Door 
Saturday May 2nd, 2015 12:19:38 PM

Mack and Crosseye come back down and around from the top of the hill where the tunnel was dug out to the door and report what they discovered.
Zee suggests trying the door and Walter is all too happy to put himself to use doing so.
The thought that the door might only be opened at midnight when the beacon is active is brought up. How would one open the door in safety though, if the beacon is the cause of the lightning strikes Crosseye has discovered?
Atlas does observe the scorch markings in front of the door.

The door has no way to be grasped to as to allow anyone to pull it open. Leaving the option of pushing Walter, Mack and Zee put shoulders and weight against it. The granite slab does indeed move, if only slightly. the others it would likely open, especially if one of the others was a centaur.

The combined weight and power of the group is enough to push the slab inward and after about 17" it pivots much more easily and clears the area to reveal a corridor beyond.

The buzz or humming sound that was emanating through the sound is much more noticeable now. The area beyond is not lit and is constructed of another single piece of granite that constitutes the floor, ceiling and both walls. It is set at a 20 degree downward slope into the dark beyond what light is spilling in from the doorway.

" Huh, who'da thunk it?"
" Oh well, we're in. Let's see if we can shut this thing down. If the opportunity arises though, we still want to make sure none of the assembled tribes decide to come at the Tree. We should be able to convince them. Should we close the door behind us?"

Cameron puts his gear back on and casts light on the front of his shield so that they can see. He also puts on the tabbard that Zee had made for them. He still thinks that the runes will be important somehow, so he commits them to memory.

"Check the back of the door first, see if there is a handle, so we can reopen it from inside."
Carver keeps his sword and shield ready, and will follow right behind the leader, being his normal stealthy self. (not)
