Thread: The Glamorous Life of an Adventurer Part 1 (HaloHeroWolf118 & Atroxa)

Azoth didn't seem to acknowledge she had spoken to him at first before he looked at her, Keep Lucius close to you and search this level. he told her seeming not to have heard what she had said about something there with them, I'll search the upper level. Whatever it is it will most like single one of us out sooner or later. he continued confirming that he had heard her. I can handle myself just protect Lucius. he said as he turned back toward his friend, Lucius had sent the ball of light high up to illuminate the room. Alright Lucius you stick with Varena and check this floor while I go looking up a level for the captains office. he said and Lucius shook his head, We shouldn't split up who knows how badly you'll get lost. he said looking at the Half-Elf who was smiling confidently, No worries Lucius I'll carve and arrow into the stones to lead me back here. he said simple plan but useful. I don't like it Azoth I feel something is here. and before he could say more Azoth put a hand on his shoulder and turned toward the stairs, Keep an eye on Varena. he told him as he moved toward the stairs and vanished up them before the two of them could halt or disuade him. Lucius watched as Azoth vanished up the dark staircase glowing knife in hand like a torch, the lizard shivered more in worry than cold, Well Lad Eberhart on your lead. he said smiling at her through the cloth covering his face. He had never been left alone with a woman before, he felt nervous with how serious and strict Lady Eberhart seemed to be so he waited for her to lead he felt better following. Azoth was surprised how short the climb up was and he moved with caution, the upper level was less crowded then the floor below but that only meant fewer corpses to walk around, here was the officer quarters the lower level housed the rank and file. He came across a drow though dead and forgotten by his friends, He had a bow which unlike the other bits of wood which were rotted the bow had remained in prime condition. He picked up the weapon and admired it as the string and bow glowed briefly, I'll have to have Lucius see what enchantments this weapon has. he said as he looked for the quiver but found none, it was no problem he could buy one and arrows when they entered a town. He tested the draw when a black shafted arrow with a broad tip appeared, this was getting interesting the bowman must have been some spy or scout to afford such a weapon, he focused and the arrow's tip changed becoming slim meant to pierce armor. It appeared that it created what ever arrow he could think of except ones that carried flasks of a desired liquid or were on fire, it explained why the drow had no quiver. He smiled as he carried the weapon, moving forward he came to a open door which he nudged open with his foot and slowly walked in as the light from his knife illuminated a room that was destroyed in fire, only the remains of armor told him who had been here before the fire had consumed them, a trap no doubt sprung by the captain to take his enemies with him. He heard another whisper and drew the string back on the bow as he turn dropping down but there was nothing there, Jumping at shadows. he muttered as he stood, walking around the room all he found was the destroyed remains of the dwarven captains desk and the man himself, the only thing untouched or at least not overly damaged was a painting. It was simple perhaps of the captains wife or daughter comforting the man by having them watching over him, his years as a thief brought his hands searching around the painting till he felt a switch, pressing it the picture swung forward on hidden hinges. Wall safe. he said as he reached for a pouch on his belt and pulled out his lock picks, working on the tumblers he started to undo the lock, the whispering again but it faded it was nothing his mind playing tricks, the last tumbler fell into place and the safe door opened revealing a series of documents sack of gold and the captains journal. Azoth took it all tying the gold to his belt to split with his companions later, he turned securing the documents as he walked forward and saw something standing at the door, he stared at it till he blinked and it was gone this creepy place was making him worried for the others.
