"Rex!" He spits a glob of dark tobacco on the floor. "Blast'd hill giant zombie th't bit off me ear was controlled by a pissy necrocaster named Rex." He growls. "I dust'd that undead peon, but nev'r got a chance at gittin' to it's unholy master." He coughs off more phlegm and spits towards the voice. "Someone's gonna die."

Galen looks back at Reknar as if to say Really? but with his urging the cavalier unslings his shield, draws his steel and advances into the torch-lit room.
"Whoever you are, it's time to yield to the forces of Good! Surrender now, before its too late for you."
Full of (perhaps forced) bravado, Galen looks around for the source of the voice.
The laughter is almost deafening
Are you sure you wish to challenge me? You cannot see me, you cannot touch me. I could disarm you with a thought.
"Nic, we're doing this?"
Everyone give me a d20 roll
Alex drew her starknife.
"We'll be jus fine...Iomedais is with us tonight."[
Everyone is tensed and ready to strike. The problem is that no one sees anything. Here are your options, as I see it.
1. Keep talking
2. Flee the room
3. Explore the room-you are still just inside
4. Attack? Not sure how you would do that, but you are heroes after all
5. Something I have not thought of.
"Looks like this is jus a fig newton of our imaginashuns." The cleric bold steps forward, "You're not even 'ere are you." The dwarf challenges.
Nic moving with Galen pushes into the room, he begins to swing his Morningstar in arcs. "If it's invisible I should hit it eventually. Anyone 'ave some flour to throw about?" The dwarf is intent on getting to Rex, the unholy necromancer.
Reknar raises an eyebrow, and simply stares inside, looking for any clue as to where their foe may be - "Funny enough, I forgot the flour today"
The room is a large ante chamber with a throne in the center
Oh stop making yourselves look foolish. Will you be serving me or not?
The definitely came from the throne
The dwarf continues whacking at the air.
Alex will use detect magic.

Unable to pinpoint where the disembodied voice is coming from, Galen remembers the voice carrying tubes, and wonders if this is a similar trick.
"Service is earned from worthy acts. Reveal yourself and your worthiness, or cease the infernal prattling!" cries Galen, striding with purpose towards the throne, convinced its all a put-on.
Alex you definitely detect some magic in front of you, it will take two more rounds to locate it.
Another perception check please
Interestingly there is no answer this time.
Perception from Galen or anyone?
There's some weird voo-doo going on here. Alex says.
all of you :)
Do we have any conditions currently?
Reknar waves his spear in a wide arc in front of him, as he guards the door - "It definitely stinks" - he nods at Alex.
Nic continues whacking at the air around him.
Is that a noise in the doorway? Or possibly to the left of the doorway? Maybe just inside it?
The cleric stops hacking at the air. "Okay...it's over there by the door.' He rushes to the door and whacks at the area left of the door frame. "It's hiddin' ov'r 'ere." He's still a bit enraged at the memory of Rex.
"Not going through here, I assure you!" - Reknar roars, standing fast at the door, longspear at the ready.
Nic slams his weapon into the doorframe, not connecting with anything, while Reknar moves into the doorway.
Alex and Galen what do you do?
Ill advance later today, give a little more time for Alex. Coming up on a possible conclusion here
couple big rolls here
You definitely hear something moving right in front of you, you know it is moving toward you, around you perhaps, but you definitely do not feel anything, whether it slipped through your legs or whatever. It is either inches from you or past you
"He's around here somewhere!" - the man roars - "CAn't pinpoint him, but he may have just slipped past me!"
Nic continues to flail at the doorway area with his morning star.
Nick chips off some stone
Alex Galen and Candy man have actions.
"He just ran past me!" - Reknar spins around - "And out the door, the slippery bastard!" - he adds, giving chase to 'it'
Sorry Galen
Assuming we entered the room, Alex will run out the door with her starknife in hand..
Nic will chase after Reknar swinging his morning star.
Ok
Our heroes are racing back to the stairs w the exception of candy man and Galen
Your up again
There do not seem to be any traps
There are at least 30 gems of good size
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Reknar rushes down the passageway, swinging and thrusting his longspear - "Come back oh mighty Rex!" - he roars - "Stop running and you'll live. Continue running, and gloves are off!"
Just to clarify
Candy man and Galen are at the throne looking at gems. Reknar is racing up the passage way towards the stairs, Nic is right there with him.
Alex? Heading up with Reknar and Nic, or back to the gem thieves, or something else?
Reknar rushes down the passageway, swinging and thrusting his longspear - "Come back oh mighty Rex!" - he roars - "Stop running and you'll live. Continue running, and gloves are off!"
The dwarf scurries as fast as his short legs will carry him, "Git'im, he's a tricky basterd. Watch out...I've got yer back, boy." He swings his Morningstar as he follows aiming low.
What did he do to you, Nic? Alex yells, pausing before going to far from Galen and Candy Man
