Shadow War campaign In-Game: Chapter 43- The Temple of Dalophor

[Navarre]

Everyone who was going down the rope ladder does so successfully.

[sab39]

"Vinnrog, the body's over there in the water right at the edge of the lake. We need it moved as far as we can away from both the lake and the ladder so that Faerun can come down without blowing up the universe. Would you like me to come with you to light the way?"

[Navarre]

"Uh-Huh. Thanks."

"Me get it."

You accompany Vinnrog to the edge of the lake. You see Abraham's body floating a short ways out into the water. He is too far out for Vinnrog to reach without swimming out about fifty feet to get it, placing Vinnrog's vision outside of the light of your shuriken.

[sab39]

"It's over there - can you swim to it?"

I offer Vinnrog the shuriken on the vine to wear for light.

"Just be careful with it... I don't want to lose it."

[Navarre]

Vinnrog nods.

"Uh-Huh. Glad me left new shirt and hat up with the creepy white people."

"Me be right back with dead body."

Vinnrog wades out as far as he can, finally swimming out into the murky lake. You see his greenish-hued skin illuminated by the light from your shuriken.

You see him reach out and grab Foster's body, lying face down in the water, by the man's suit collar and slowly swim back in your direction. Although Vinnrog does not seem to be an experienced swimmer, his natural strength and awareness of his body allows him to easily navigate the still water.

As he is able to stand up, he throws Abraham over his shoulder like a wet sack of potatoes and walks ashore.

"Me go dump body over there by western wall."

He proceeds in that direction, Abraham's corpse bouncing in an undignified manner on the half-orc's broad shoulder.

[sab39]

I follow with him and take the shuriken and vine back as soon as the body is dumped.

[Navarre]

Vinnrog walks as far west as he can, coming to the wall of the cavern nearly a hundred yards away. You see a large fissure in the wall, large enough for even Vinnrog to walk into and about ten feet high.

A slight stream of water flows into the fissure from the lake. This suggests that there is in fact a water source feeding into this cavern from the east and heading westward. Unfortunately, it does not seem that the destruction of the Amulet of Maldomkin was successful in curbing this flow.

Vinnrog drops the body of the man you met on Sabbathyr as indelicately as he might a box of rocks. Abraham slats face-down onto the mud.

You feel confident that there is enough distance between Abraham and the areas where Faerun might be that there will be no undesirable intra-universal incidences.

[sab39]

I mumble "Sorry, Abe." as I replace my shuriken around my own neck, return to the foot of the ladder and blow hard on the whistle Faerun gave me.

[Navarre]

Faerun, you hear the whistle. Along with all of your remaining companions topside besides Dalen and Cloud, you make your way down the rope. You find no unnatural or dangerous effects about you as you touch down on the cavern floor.

[Web.Metz]

I light up the my crown to full brightness.

"Where is the body?"

[sab39]

"Out of the way over there."

[Web.Metz]

{Could you please place it on the map of the cave Nav?}

Faerun goes to the edge of the lake closest to the temple and puts his pack about five feet away from the edge and pulls out the scroll case with the water breathing scroll, as well as the remaining 3 dark tomorrow masks. Experimentally, Faerun puts on a mask and looks through it while having his crown at full brightness.

[sab39]

"We should have some hand signals for communication like Dark Tomorrow does. How about something like..."

I come up with gestures for:

"Danger over there" (including pointing for the "over there" part)
"Something interesting over there"
"Help, I'm in trouble!"
"Someone's in trouble over there"
"Hold your position"
"Move that way"
"Move that way FAST"

[Gaumer]

Bedlor makes a quick mental note of the hand signals and agrees.

"Aye, a great idea, mate.

[Navarre]

You find that the masks of Dark Tomorrow do not seem to affect the range or acuity of either your low-light vision or darkvision. They simply allow you to also see through magical darkness as well as seeing invisible objects.
