Pirknok Stonemight |
Huh, that's a pretty cool ability! Probably better for you to save your singing rounds, though... I have 23 rounds of rage per day total, so it'll take me down to about half. As long as we don't have a really long fight, we should be okay.
DM Feral |
After a few minutes the party manages to free the other caged prisoners but they are all in a similar comatose state and offer little in the way of guidance.
Suddenly a powerful feminine voice fills the air. "You've killed my daughters and freed my play-things. Not anyone would so foolish or bold within my domain. Who are you?"
DM Feral |
The other former prisoners are in much the same condition as the first - alive, barely, but with otherwise no sign of life.
"Mortals? I believe I was mortal once... long ago. Come into my parlor. You've killed my daughters. The least you could do is spend a moment with me. Who know? Maybe we can help each other."
Pirknok Stonemight |
Pirknok grimaces, nodding slightly in agreement with Ensu's sentiment. Clearing his throat, he attempts to keep his voice level and draws on all of Brodert's training to politely decline the "offer".
"Hope you'll excuse us... ma'am... these people are needin' help right now. Seems they've been neg... neg-lec-ted."
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26
DM Feral |
The voice's tone softens from predatory to almost matronly.
"Oh, I promise you those men don't need much. I devoured their souls ages ago. All that remains are their bodies which I keep around to entertain my daughters."
You guys don't feel compelled or anything. You can leave if you're not interested in meeting the owner of the mysterious voice.
Jessamy Pierce |
We had talked about taking them out, but honestly, if it's not a big issue, let's just press on. We've lost a lot of momentum in this game and I'd rather not fiddle around with things that aren't important.
"Well, that wasn't too bad," Jessamy says. "Not sure which one would be best to go to next, but maybe just go around in a circle?"
Let's just take the next one in a clockwise direction.
DM Feral |
The ceiling of this circular domed chamber rises to a height of thirty feet. The walls are decorated with ten grinning skulls, each gripping what appear to be bits of flesh in their teeth. A flight of steps leads up via a corridor in the far wall.
Before the party can advance further the mouths of the skull open. Six emaciated figures covered in black chittering beetles wriggle free. They quickly climb to their feet and attack!

@Pirknok - They don't have spells or SLAs.
Reflexes: 6d20 ⇒ (2, 11, 5, 20, 11, 4) = 53
Three of the undead dodge some of Siolad's fireball but the other half are too slow. They all give an inhuman shriek of agony as their rotting forms seem especially flammable. Working together Pirknok, Jessamy, and Krojun bring down two of the scorched corpses.
Despite the overwhelming force presented by the heroes the undead rally and strike back.

Err, I knew that. In that case he'll delay because it doesn't look like he's especially overflowing with offensive spells.
Working together the heroes' attacks bring down two more of the hideous beetle-covered undead.
The surviving two slam into the party's front rank again.
