Yes I remember trying to sneak by them and we got attacked with cross bows for our attempt. We can not get by them does this ring a bell
Roll one die:
score 1 Turn to 149
score 2 or 3 Both quarrels hit you; lose 6 VIGOUR
score 4 or 5 Only one hits you; lose 3 VIGOUR
score 6 They both miss you
Now recall also there is one guard inside the dor at the top also. So he may appear with a bolt for us when we fight the two below but he was carrying a spear like that is much better.
Let us duck and hide then pounce on them when they get close we have the advantage first round.
I recalled that, but consider the unlucky rolls of our GM (nothing personal ) I thought the less we stay out of trouble the better, in other words this is Sir Vincenzo, the diplomatic specialist.

QUOTE (164) |
You retreat into the cool, ink-black shadows beside the great stairway and press yourself back into a niche in the stone. A minute or so later, the two men draw level with your hiding place. You had believed you were the first to rediscover the pyramid so you are shocked to discover two armed and armoured warriors patrolling it. You are still more shocked when you hear their voices and realize they are from your own land. But all becomes sickeningly clear when one of them half turns and you recognize the black-and-white crest on his surcoat, for it marks him as one of Damontir's men. Somehow your hated foe has beaten you to the temple, perhaps by a margin of only hours or minutes. They stop to swig rough gin from a hipflask, and you take the opportunity to eaves- drop on what they are saying. 'Blow this for a lark,' growls one, slapping away a fly that was feasting on his beefy neck. 'I can take the boredom and the heat, but these insects are goin' ter drink me dry before the boss gets back. Why didn't 'e take us wiv him, I want ter know.' 'Yer great burke!' His companion spits on the baked earth. 'Yer better off out 'ere, ent yer? Want ter go wanderin' around an old tomb wiv a fruitcake like Damontir? Never come out again, would yer?' 'Temple,' replied the first, gargling his gin before swallowing it. 'Yer what?' 'It's not a tomb, it's a temple. I heard the boss say.' The second man snorts. 'Temple, tomb, where's the difference? Damontir wouldn't trust the likes of us wiv all that treasure around, would 'e? That's what 'e's got them freaks - whassit, Nightmare Guards - for, innit?' You have heard enough. If Damontir is here with his fearsome Nightmare Guard then you have no time to waste. Will you attack the two men (turn to 70) or will you try to scale the steps to the top without them noticing (turn to 184)? |
