Jake looks back over his shoulder from the papers as Noamuth burns the body.

A fitting end for him.

He pulls Omtax aside...

A word brother.

Omrax:
He whispers in Andoren. We need to secure that paper and get it back to our leaders.

    By the Five Kings whiskers! Belegorn relates the contents of the disturbing diary scroll.

    responding back to Jake...

    "Aye, Sir Jake, this diary shows that cylinder is pure evil. We need to retrieve it from the girl...and bring the diary as well. I think we are looking for something else as well, maybe less sinister but more trade and commerce related. I will continue to search for such documents in other rooms if none turn up here."

    Omrax turns to Noamuth, gives her a affirmative nod and raises his sword to his chin in salute to the fallen guard...

    "Good call, Lady Noa. That may be the best we can do for him until our mission is over. That slimy stuff is another puzzle for us. I do not like the looks of it at all."

    Mordecai bows respectfully as Noamuth speaks, and mutters his own words over the body quietly before letting him burn it.

    Turning to his companions, he says "This... taint is something we must burn from these vaults. I will not be at ease until it is culled from the world, and this accursed cylinder with it."


    Noa starts the fire, but the stench and smoke will be too much to endure pretty quickly...

    From here you can go straight ahead further into the basement or to the left.

    Should we circle around before we go in deeper? I don’t want something sneaking up on us from behind.

    Jake nods to Belegorn, and steps in behind his lead.

    Omrax, be sure to gather those papers.

    Belegorn opens the door to the left, axe in hand.

    Omrax gathers up any documents dealing with the cylinder, and follows the others...


    Noxious smoke billows upward spreading out across the ceiling and drifting slightly back the way you came toward the ramp and upper level of the museum. Omrax quickly gathers up the papers and while Mordecai says a few words over the burning body and Belegorn convinces the others to clear the basement before moving any deeper.

    The dwarf opens the door and it creaks inward on a dark storage room. Boxes and crates are stacked haphazardly through the room. Some piles are only a few boxes high while others reach nearly all the way to the ceiling fifteen feet above. Everything is coated in a layer of yellow dust.

    In the center of the room one of the shorter stacks of crates is piled up and some kind of growth is clinging to it on the side. The slowly pod undulates while sickly yellow-green tendrils snake out around the crates anchoring it is place and others writhe around in the air blindly.

    Before Belegorn has even had a chance to register much of what he is seeing, the pod splits open on the end like a ripe fig, and it contracts violently to spray a cloud of yeloow dust or gas at the doorway coating the leading dwarf.

    Surprise round:

    sorry, distracted when I last caught up.

    "Thank you, Mordecai.", Noa says softly.


    It isn't either. If this were a different adventure I'd be tempted to apply your poison bonus anyway, but I'm going to go with RAW because it fits the theme of the scenario in this case.
    So that is a fail. Sent you a PM.

    Belegorn stands there, not responding to his companion’s statements or moving to retreat. In fact, he shifts his weight as if he may walk foreword.

    Marchello, There are probably better things you could do with you turn. Guidance isn’t going to help me much.

    OK, open to suggestions - was taking Noa's lead to pull you back and figured I didn't have a direct access to an attack, but suppose I could run through you to set up for next turn or swap to the bow for a shot? What were you thinking of?

    Marchello, at this point it really depends on what Jake does, and what I do in response. I would wait for that to play out.

    Jake, I don’t suppose you would mind shutting the door and preventing me from walking myself to my doom, hmm?

    If we don't hear from Jake by tonight (my time so maybe 3-4 hours from now) I'll post for him just to keep things rolling and build up some momentum.

    Sorry about that guys...never had notification of activity in the PbP. You know me, I am not one to sit on my hands.

    Jake quickly shuts the door infront of Belegorn while barring his way with the elbow on his sword arm.

    What the hell was that? Belegorn, are you ok? I thought that maybe I saw a door in that room providing another means of exit. We either need to circle around or charge and attack that thing immediately upon opening the door. Do any of you magic weilders have anything to freeze or burn that thing?

    Belegorn walks forward and bumps into Jake and the closed door. Then he just stands there, as if confused or dazed.


    Belegorn continues to stare ahead, eyes vacant. He does try to move for the door but without any sense of urgency and with Noa pulling on him and Jake blocking his way he doesn't make any progress.

    After about half a minute of that, he stops and blinks then looks around somewhat confused.

    With the door shut we can drop out of init.

    Kn Nature DC 12

    Spoiler:
    You've heard of yellow musk creepers before because of their horrific method of propagation. They first immobilize a target with spores like you saw and then bore into the brain to implant a seed pod. While the seed grows in the brain of the host, it uses the body to defend its creator before eventually wandering away and splitting apart to provide nutrients for the new emerging pod.

    They aren't common, but patches have been known to sprout among the carrion of a battlefield or in untended graveyards.

    Only allowed to try for 10 or less, since I don't have ranks in that KN. But here's my diplomacy for Belegorn: :)
    Diplomacy+6: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

    "I have my sling. And Belegorn has a bow. Do no' charge it; if it could just be taken apart, there would be none of it left. But it is, for a thing that does not move, too strangely correctly placed for spitting at the door. So something that does move, and think, put it there. When we use our slings and arrows, you stan' by to take arms against a sea of troubles, uh?"

    Noa carefully scans the floor and ceiling as she walks away from the door, on a line to fire at the plant thing, when and if the door is opened. "I can sling over Belegorn, but I am not tall. Are there any others, to make trouble for the plant? And one to open the door? With rope around the handle, to close it while standing back?"
