    A Long way to Lonely Shores

    The Scene:
    Four young adventurers have been hired by Professor Abraham Stewart to help with his Antiquities studies in the Carrion Swamp. He has requested that they head to Lonely Shores after employing them in Freeport.  The professor is looking into exploring the ancient civilization of Hetepkan.
    He has agreed upon a wage of 100gp each and will negiotate on treasure found.

    You are currently on the way to Lonely Shores when a lightning storm has overtaken you.The sky has been slowly darkening all day, and
    the smell of rain has been thick in the air. Now it has finally begun to fall, accompanied by loud peals of thunder that seem to roll across the landscape. The sun is hidden behind massive stormclouds, and a cold wind blows from the north. As bolts of lightning begin to slam from cloud to
    ground and pieces of hail begin to strike the earth, the need for shelter becomes obvious. Ahead in the distance, a large tor rises from the ground, its form illuminated by the occasional lightning bolt. It seems rocky and solid, and though climbing it in this weather would be folly, it might have some outcropping that would provide safety from the storm. The only alternative is to endure the weather.

    Brelsan looks at the outcropping. "I suggest we head there. It's not like we have any other shelter."

    "I don't think there's anything else around here. Let's just go to the rocks. They can't be too dangerous.

    "Of course." Brelsan heads over to the outcropping of rock.

    Jack, shrugging, says: "We could of course just continue on.  A little hail never hurt anybody."

    A faint smile crosses his face, and he follows.

    Re: A Long way to Lonely Shores

    The massive tor towers above the surrounding country. A few narrow ledges offer scant protection from the elements, but a closer inspection
    reveals a massive, arched entryway at least 20 feet tall and 10 feet wide, set into the side of the hill. The ground just outside it slopes away from the
    doorway, directing the falling water out and away. Given this fact and the sturdy nature of the hill, whatever space lies beyond the door should
    be both dry and safe from lightning and hail. The construction seems quite sturdy, so the likelihood of collapse, even in severe conditions such
    as these, is remote.

    "Weird. It doesn't look like we have much of a choice though." Brelsan enters.

    "Interesting." Jack states, wondering.  "I am interested in finding out what this is doing here.  And since you three seem to mind the brisk and refreshing storm outside, we might as well go in."


    OOC and EditOK, I can now do the OOC as well.

    Eldan notices that the remains of an immense round stone are scattered around the doorway. It appears that recently a lightning strike destroyed a the stone.

    Re: A Long way to Lonely Shores

    pointing at the scattered rocks "jack is natural lightning strong enough to smash a stone that size" making a detour too the stone "i can think of a few spells that could do that but i cant think of why" (Knowledge Arcana 15 too think of the most likley spell)
