Turn 21 - Northen passage

[Zed]

Bamoin, after recieving more healing power from the Cleric picks up point again and heads slowly northwards, even more vigilantly scanning around his person.

[Cure Moderate Wounds: 21 damage cured. lvl 2 spell slot used]

After a few moments the corridor branches to the right (east) or continues northwards. Near his heals Belwar utters a throaty growl and with his nose indicates northwards. Nodding in understanding Bamoin silently creeps northwards. The passageway turns a little then continues north and begins to open out into a large chamber.

A horrible stench comes from this cave to the north. The
ceiling is low�only about 8 feet high�and the walls are
slick with moisture. Within, the center of the floor in this
dead-end cavern has a low spot. About 2 feet lower than
the rest of the cave, it holds a grisly, bloody mess: some
half-devoured humanoid creature, greenish white from
bloating and decay.


Some thing else catches Bamoin's eye, a small arm protruding from the rock about 2 feet from the ground near the caverns entrance.

Actions?

 

[Medivac]

Paranoia works for me....and everyone watching

Suspiciously Bamoin reaches into his backpack and pulls out a flask of Alchemists Fire , looks back at the group with a grin, then casualy tosses it into the center of the room where the roof dips.......

..... then steps back to see the results .

 

[Raving]

knok keeps a carefull watch, bow at the ready, wondering if fire is a good idea near an arm that we cannot see well

 

[Kegs]

Thak is ever ready for fight. He watches the way behind lest we get ambushed. P)

[OOC: Zed mate im off on holidays for three weeks on thursday, from now till then i'll be pretty busy packing etc, what happens in this case? I'll try and pop on if i can when im away and see whats happening. Good luck lads, hope the adventure dosn't end while im away. ]

 

[Zed]

[OOC No Problem kegs old boy - Ill keep you alive ... *honest*]

Bamoin hurls the flask for Alchemists fire into the middle of the room and watches as is explodes and bursts into fire over the bloated body. The body catches and begins to burn but little else happens beyond the stench of cooking meat...

 

[Cullhaven]

Coming up late on the situation and seing the flash of fire ahead Siggi lopes forward screaming:

"FIREWYRM!"

 

[Kaerwek]

Belwar hops back a little, to avoid any sparks to catch on his precious fur... He then growls at Bamoin for the extensive use of fire which only seems to have worsened the stench...

Kaers

(ooc: Eh, that proturbing arm in question... Is it like, still flesh and bone or...? And oh, do I still have Greater Magic Fang in effect?)

 

[Kegs]

"A mountain of Gold Siggi!!!" Thak asks hopefully.

At the smell of cooking meat his stomach lets out an alarming noise, Thak grins sheepishly as the other look at him with disgust and he tightens his belt another notch. "I've had no grub since we breakfasted" he moans.

"Perhaps once we've searched this cave we can retreat back to a safe hole and strike up a camp so the magic users can read their books and i can get some grub", "I'll take first watch if need be"

A look of hope crosses his face until he hears the cleric mutter something about eating dirt if he dosen't stop prattling on.

 

[Vicslav]

Earnan Proudfoot says " hmm looks like im in the wrong game "

 

[Zed]

(ooc: Eh, that proturbing arm in question... Is it like, still flesh and bone or...? And oh, do I still have Greater Magic Fang in effect?)

Will check on GMF duration and let you know.

The Arm is small. Like a childs arm. It occasionally quivers in the rock, almost looking like its struggling to get out. Definately flesh and bone

 

[Kaerwek]

(ooc: And the arm hasn't decayed like the other corpse?)

Kaers

 

[Zeus]

jial goes to the arm, and starts trying to dig it up "There may be someone alive here! help me!"

 

[Gottaa]

As Jial exposes more of the arm, it turns and scrabbling around for hold on the rocks starts to pull itself further clear of the rock. A bald head pale in colour and hairless appears from within the rock, the features are dusty and you can see wounds now on his face and shoulder. Still half in and half out the rock you can see that this is a gnome, there is an odd tatoo adourning it's head but as your eyes move down from the forehead his eyes flicker open.

"Oi, am I glad to be seeing some friendly faces down here, they call me 'Dee' and I'd be grateful if you ..."

His words fade away as his eyes pass over the party, smiling at Belwar briefly, and coming to rest on Thak, and eyeing up his sword which is larger than you assume the Gnome judging by the way he is now rubbing his eyes. Dee swallows hard and says :

"You are friendly right ? 'cos this rocks not so bad, another month or so and I'm sure it'll have me all healed up"

 

[Cullhaven]

Loud stage whisper to Thak:
"These liddle people always has a crock of GOLD dat they hides from folk. Shall we shake him a bit and see what falls out?"

 

[Kaerwek]

(ooc: Do I as a gnome know what he is, that is, more than a gnome?)

Belwar smiles back to the gnome, and asks with a friendly voice in gnomish... "My name is Belwar, what are you doing in here? Between us gnomes, I can provide with a little healing if you need some... In exchange for some information perhaps?"

Kaers

 

[Medivac]

Bamoin slinks to the back of the group , damn mask now over his face ,try to cut out most of the strench ...eying the gnome suspiciously......

 

[Kegs]

"Think i should cut him in two to see if he hides gold??" Thak say's while winking quickly at Siggi.

[OOC: Thats it lads im outta here, keep me alive Siggi mate. ]

 

[Cerberus]

Whilst walking through the tunnel you hear a passing earth worm say "You lot only just found dogma or what?, Take care on your travels"

 

[Zed]

OOC due to my busy schedule atm next turn will appear at some point this coming week.

It will be a summary of the remaining part of the lair you are in - if anything special happens ill pause however expect me to take you back to the main passageway and take you further west ;0)
