[Game Thread] Act I - Heroes?

[Troy]

The group feels their time constraint and waits for someone to push them along, up the stairs.

 

-Everyone who drinks form the pool can spend 1 surge to be at full health. The water in the vials allows one person to spend a healing surge and regain 10 HP instead of the normal HP regained from a surge. Getting the vial from a pouch or pack is a minor action and drinking it is another minor action.

Pepper looks around the room for a long moment and start moving toward the stairs. She only takes a few steps before she turn around to her siblings and speaks. "It is time we got moving again. The more we stand around and do nothing the more time we waste and the more danger we beckon to us."

Pepper looks at each of her siblings directly in the eyes and warmly smiles at them. Her heart is heavy but she knows she must encourage them and support them. She carefully looks over each person taking a mental inventory of their wounds.

[Darkling]

Zinn ends up opening the door to check the room and takes a look around, unable to find anything of value or worth as she does so, the small space proving to be a disappointment. She reenters the hallway, her hand rubbing the spot on her arm where the Diminished injured her, rolling her eyes as Pepper speaks. "Don't matter, Prince knows we're here, can see an' hear us - CAN'T YOU, YOU LOON?" She yells with a sudden abruptness, her shout barely comparing to the racket of the Prince's booming cascading voice. She tightens her grip on her staff and moves forward to the stairwell. "Come on then, this place is givin' me a headache." She climbs the stairs onto the next level without so much as a glance at the other orphans behind her, knowing stealth to be a futile effort at this point.

[Troy]

The Orphans move up the stairs amidst the Prince of Storms' tirade. Upon inspecting the area behind the stairs, you see that there isn't a rope leading anywhere. There must be another set of stairs somewhere! To your left is an open door and behind you, a closed door. To your right, at the end of the hallway, is another closed door.

[Darkling]

Zinn points to the open doorway, her eyes narrowed, and glances to the others. "Saw somethin' scuttle 'round in there, I think it's the bad guy, so I think we better get in there right quick before he comes for us." The girl moves forward abruptly to the door, her staff at the ready, prepared to punish the miscreant who threatened her family.

Zeniar nods at zinn and readies his mace, following her behind close at her right "Careful don't go all nuts please."

[Time]

Ellis stands close to Zinn, directly next to Zeniar. Spear slowly moving back to chamber, Ellis is ready for the fight to come.....with whatever it is...

[Light]

Pepper draws her mace from her belt. Her right hand grips the wooden handle tightly. She can feel the grain of the wood under her fingers and the worn wood fits her small finger perfectly. Her eyes dart between looking ahead and looking behind her. As she waits to see what this next room will bring she says a quiet prayer beneath her breath.

[Herownick]

Moving forward quickly Comme places his back to the wall just to the left of the opening and gives his daggers a good squease. Is it to much to ask for this guy to come charging out on his own so we can corner him and finish this quickly...

[Troy]

The group walks into what was once the chamber of the Temple’s High Priestess. The wall to your right has collapsed, and so has part of the ceiling. The room is divided in two tiers linked by flanking stairways. The lower tier features a few relatively intact statues of Avandra. A stone cupola from the temple’s roof has crashed down into what used to be a pool in the corner of the room’s upper tier. Next to the Capula is a large mural of the Aspect lounging in the garden outside the entrance of the Temple. The Prince of Storms voice is almost overwhelmingly loud in this room though you can't tell right away where it's coming from.

 

-The large brown circle thing is the Cupola. The portrait is leaning against it.

[odin1985]

Zeniar continues to listen to the voice of the prince of storms, "We are close, the sound is getting stronger", saying this he keeps walking foward and stoping next to the wall.

 

Move to I-1

[Herownick]

Flowing the party in Comme walks up the stars and takes a better look at the pece of art from a small ways away. She looks hot... I may just have to become religious after this

"Everyone keep your eyes peeled, if this so called prince decides to show himself, we need to be ready to strike" Ellis states as he examines the portrait of Avandra.

"Zinn we have to find that rope that will take us into Avandra's chamber."

[Darkling]

Zinn just sighs and nods, muttering a curse under her breath as she moves across the room, her staff at the ready. "We'll find it, Ellis, but I'm checkin' this room first." She goes about searching the room thoroughly, looking for anything of worth and checking any logical hiding places as she goes. She looks over the cupola curiously, giving it a solid kick with her foot. "This place is such a wreck."

[Light]

Pepper finds herself impatient at the slow progress the team is making. She can't help but feel the time constraint as the group delays getting to the aspect. Pepper's sense of emending danger however keeps her from opening her mouth and saying anything, instead she resorts to gripping her mace tighter.
