"Blasted orc! Dammit Carrow, you should have shot that ring off from around his neck."

Throg notices that the shaman dropped something. He will investigate.

 

[Mooseman]

Watch out there Throg, He dropped it while pulling my arrow out of his foot. I thought maybe tacking him in place would hold him for awhile..... hmmm.....

 

[Oversoul]

Dorgath's Lifestone heals him a bit and Kelgar heals himself with a blessing. Throg finds a tightly bound scroll and the object the shaman dropped: a book.

 

[turgy22]

Throg will examine the scroll. And if it seems benign, he will unbind and read it.

"The book is filled mostly with Orc jibberish, though it seems Skabnoze has a deal with some Chaos Warriors who reside in the lower levels of this dungeon. I think, if we want to find the orc, we should move in that direction."

 

[Mooseman]

Careful everyone, I think the shaman is just invisible. Look his blood is leaving a trail

 

[Oversoul]

The other warriors see that there is indeed a blood trail going down the corridor behind them.

 

[Spiderman]

Dorgath will attempt to attack the invisible orc. If he can't reach him, he'll throw a Firebomb in hopes of catching it in the blast.

"Get the greenskin!"

 

[turgy22]

"I say we just follow the trail of blood. He's weak and we now outnumber him. We should move quickly, though."

Throg will begin following the trail of blood, providing he can avoid any firebombs that may be thrown by Dorgath.

 

[Spiderman]

"And let him warn any others? We should kill him now."

 

[turgy22]

"Yes, we should. But we don't know how far he's gotten."

Serious question, though: how much time has passed since Skabnoze went invisible? We had time to finish off the minotaurs and pick up his dropped items. Depending on his movement ability, he could be long gone by now. If there's a chance Dorgath can hit him with a firebomb, we should take it, but if Skabnoze is well out of range, we should follow him and proceed with caution.

 

[Spiderman]

Ah, I was interpreting the description to mean we could see the actual blood trail being formed; i.e. dripping as it falls so the shaman is still within range. If that's not the case, yeah, I guess the only thing we can do is follow him

 

[Mooseman]

We shouldn't wait. Time is of the essence.

 

[Oversoul]

To clarify: Carrow did see the trail of blood as it was being formed, but it was already almost to the end of the corridor and by the time he alerted the others, the orc must have left the corridor. So he hasn't gotten far yet and if his wounded foot is slowing him down he might be possible to catch, but a randomly lobbed firebomb has basically no chance of hitting him.

 

[Spiderman]

All right. Dorgath will move as fast as he can to try to catch up with the Shaman. If he does so and sees the blood trail being formed, he'll throw a Firebomb and then to melee combat. If he sees the trail has stopped and/or runs into monsters, he'll move back to the party or if they followed and can support, throw a Firebomb if there's more than one or attack if there's just one.

 

[turgy22]

Throg will move with Dorgath, following the trail of blood.

 

[Mooseman]

Carrow will be following, but wary of an ambush

 

[Oversoul]

The Warriors see the trail of blood ending at the open trapdoor in the tomb chamber...

 

[turgy22]

Too late. Like I suspected. Throg will go back to search the Minotaurs' bodies.

 

[Spiderman]

Dorgath will follow and search the room for traps and secret doors.
