Jochi pauses on his way down the rope and hisses at Seamus: "Danger!"

To Iseul: "If you don't have a shot, toss my lance down, will you?"

He then waits in mid-air to see whether to run to Seamus's aid, or whether Seamus will do the sensible thing and scramble back up the rope.

The tower stands in a clearing, so most of the ruins lie almost a 100 yards away (barely within bow range). The movement was off to the northeast.

From his high vantage point Iseul spots the rogue camel, moving at a leisurely pace northward. It's about 300 yards from you and is definitely not being led by anyone.

OOC: What is the other half of the party doing?

When nothing happens with the skull, Romeo becomes impatient. "Hadi, find out what's taking them so long. Jacques, secure this room---Nestor, you come with me." Sheathing his sword and unlimbering his mace, he grabs a torch and heads toward the doorway in the western wall.

OOC: Romeo's plan is to see what's through the door. He won't go too far. Probably.

Seamus continues down the rope to the ground, where he checks on his javelin and his camel, in that order.

Then he looks all around. If there is no sign of trouble, he'll mount up (assuming the beast is willing!) and head off after Caesar.

If there IS sign of trouble, of course, he'll prepare his javelin and bellow for the party to start firing...

Rollo looks desperately all around for a tree or any sign of water in that dry landscape...

On the surface

Rollo sees no signs of water, the place is dry as sandpaper.

OOC: Who's going with Seamus to retrieve Caesar?

Down below

The doorway on the west side opens into a small chamber, 30' wide and 20' deep, with the entrance in the middle. There are some remains of crumbled furniture along the walls and a stone stairway to the second floor, in the northwestern corner of the room.

If there's no sign of the thing Iseul saw, Jochi will ask him to throw down his lance and follow Seamus.

"There is less water here than happyness in the hearth of a ghost, folks. Let's come back in the tower, we got more chance to find some old pond...", suggest Rollo on a suddenly pessimistic tone.

Nestor cautiously enters the chamber with his torch held high and sword at the ready. He eyes the broken remains of furniture suspiciously, looking for any sign of movement.

"Could be vermin lurking in here Romeo, one never knows. Stairs are a good sign however. Perhaps they lead to richer pickings...or more sand."

OOC: Anyone know why my number of posts isn't increasing? Not a big deal but I hope to not be a Flunky some day.

Posts in online games don't count for that. You have to post in the other parts of the forum for that number to change.

Hadi remains at his post with his back to the tower, watching the hall. He is waiting for the screaming to start from up the tower or across the hall.

Iseul will throw down Jochi's lance when he asks for it. Otherwise he will keep watching the ruins for any more signs of movement.

In the absence of evident danger, Jochi will climb the rest of the way down, strap his lance over his shoulder, string his bow, and follow Seamus at a wary (one might even say cowardly) distance.
