Whispers of treasure IC group 2
« on: August 03, 2016, 07:33:20 AM »
For one reason or another, each of you has heard to the treasures hidden within Vraath vault. Maybe it was a letter from a friend describing the wealth within, maybe a rumor from ages passed, but however you heard of it, you decided to set out on the road to riches.

Each of you walks north in hopes of finding riches beyond your dreams, but for now, you still have a ways to go. Darkness is setting in and it's time to make camp for the evening. In the dusk, you can see a hollow up ahead that will serve to keep the wind off of you tonight.

Eventually, the first to settle in is greeted by one and then another, before darkness settled in fully, each of you have decided to stay the night together in the hollow, after all, there is safety in numbers and stories of attacks on the roads have gotten more common the fatter north you have gotten.
Smile beautiful. It's not as bad as you think.

Umqothu nodded cautiously at the others. His plans, such as they were might be aided by their presence, or hindered. Either way, they would serve as compatriots until such time as they did not. And then the natural world had ways of compensating for ill usage. Consciously supressing the temperature around him back to a more normal level, he put on what qualified as his most polite face, and greeted them more openly. "Greetings and welcome to this humble abode. Very humble, given it's little more than a pretentious ditch. But still, welcome, make yourself at home, and if you're feeling cold in the night, please just ask. I have some way with the warmth of the world."

The bulky man-sized construct goes to stand at the entrance to the hollow, it's polearm in hand. It says "This unit will stand guard while you enter your period of unconsciousness. However, unlike most automatons this unit requires a light source to use visual threat assessment." It reaches up and opens up a small door on the top of its head, where a flickering light much like a torch appears.

A human-looking man of nearly middle-age sets his pack down. It's hard to tell much about his features in the dim, failing light of day, but the construct's sudden revelation shows that the man possesses shoulder-length, dark hair with streaks of red and brown... or was it just black? It couldn't be green, could it? The color of his eyes seem to shift occasionally as well, though perhaps it is all simply the flickering of the construct's light...

The man appears to be of slight build and far from athletic, albeit free of torpor. His loose, simple robes hint at a life of academic, rather than physical, pursuits.

"I suppose I'm just lucky you lot don't seem to be highway brigands! Looks can be deceiving, though... Then again, for all you know, I could be one as well, so in the end it all sort of balances out! Let's all just promise not to do unsavory things in the night and hope for the best, shall we?"

He then goes back to setting up for the evening, a thin smile spread across his face as he sets about his business.

The man, for all he appears to be, is certainly an odd fellow. Probably one of those loony mages, the poor sod...

Seeing that construct would watch over him all night long, Umqothu set about making his bed. Quite literally. Pulling sand out of his pack, he formed it into a thin but hard tent that curled over his form, and soon enough waves of heat could be seen radiating off of it. With a slight wave to the others, the druid settled onto his back, eyes watching the stars as they slowly closed and he fell asleep.

It's early in the morning and the stats are still out and the sun still rests beneath the sky.

A loud, blaring sound like WHOOOOOP WHOOOP WHOOOP! starts emitting from the construct, interspersed with shouts of "WARNING! DANGER! WARNING! DANGER!" repeated over and over again.
