Horek cocks his head slightly as he gazes at the door. Shrugging his broad shoulders, he approaches the portal and tries to muscle open the stone doors, putting his weight and strength into the attempt, if necessary.


OOC: As far as dealing with those no longer with us, Im thinking perhaps you could take control of their actions enough for them to lose heart or become filled with some sort of dread that forces them to wait for our return near the entrance of the cave. They cant simply up and leave because of the aging curse for leaving the mine, and Id hate to have someones character get killed or otherwise aged when they werent in control of their own fate. Maybe someone else has a better idea, but thats all Im coming up with.

By the way, by my count we still have myself, Kerry, Nydilind, Elscene and perhaps Steven still with us. I know the player behind Steven is active elsewhere on the board and Ive posted him a reminder in another thread.

Horek Varshot
Deep bronze skin and the red body paint that decorates the face of this large man combine to mark him as one of true Flannish origin. The plainsman carries a sturdy longbow and a huge sword is strapped tightly to his back. Studded leather armor peeks out from beneath a cloak made from the hide of a large black bear and a necklace decorated with huge claws completes the picture of this fearsome barbarian. The scowl upon his face along with hard, piercing eyes warn you that disturbing this quiet man might be considered foolhardy unless there is good reason.
