Nothing tastes better than a tame rat Fernleaf, the wild ones in here are all muscelly and not so soft as those who inhabit backpacks. Mmmmmm.

What is Smek's Charisma? If it's high enough he could be...wait for it...The Leader of the Rat Pack! Also, if there are any other rats in here, he might be able to gather information for us!

Domestic Rat. Hmmm.... You make a compelling point. How does my reflection look in the reflecting pool? Do I still have gore on my face? Any blood stains? :D

Detect magic!

Make will saves Sekkim and Fernleaf please

Here we go wandering into danger again! Oh, well. Let's do this!

To add when looking into the room you see your reflections as horrid rotting face which turn to murder your party. Did anyone else look. If you think you were roll will saves too.

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

+2 vs Fear Halfling

1d20 ⇒ 2

What's so scary in there guys? You look like you've seen a, uh, ONE OF THOSE (see graphic on map)!!!

I want my mummy!

Sekkim screams like a little girl, which is very uncomfortable for a 1/2 orc. He runs from the room at full tilt (double move) upstairs and toward the exit. His unmanly scream stirs some bats from the end of the room which has a heavy portcullis. Oh no bat swarm!!! Initiative pending till I get home unless everyone wants to roll their own!

I'm all the way in the back of the other room...which is good in this instance I'm thinking!

Map revealed! Looks like a lot of bats coming out of there - 2 bat swarms...Oh Myyy
Fernleaf holds fast - He already has dreams of his face melting off and killing the party and is none too affected by this.

Anaba Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Buchart Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Cela Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Fernleaf Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Rolande Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Sekkim Initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Bat Swarm Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Anaba is up!
Cela & Fahari
Sekkim fear rounds: 1d4 ⇒ 4 3 left heading to the exit!
Bat Swarm
Fernleaf
Buchart
Rolande

Stop him!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Well, someone should at least go after him.

I say, pulling my hood tight and covering my face with my midnight blue adventurer's muffler (purchased after my last trip to the Blakros) to protect my face.

We're all going to have nightmares after this place!

Fahari thinks the bats ar fun and chases them around a bit ...

If no one else does I will go after our silly orcish friend prepared to hogtie him and bring him back

We should probably jump into the burial ledges to avoid the swarm!

I don't think hiding is a good idea!

Can I grab Fernleaf and drag him out of the room and then shut the door?

Anaba grabs Fernleaf and slams the door shut (double move). The bats continue to swarm around in the room, but can't open the door or get to you. Sekkim makes it to the upstairs pool before he realizes how silly it was for him to scream and run away...how he would have been bullied by all the other orcs if they knew.Out of combat!

Cela please make a KN nature check.

Any other actions?

knowledgenature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Are these dangerous bats or just normal cave/dungeon bats.. i know our half orc friend is a bit squeamish but if they are just normal bats we should be able to proceed...

The bats are normal. They should calm down in 10 minutes or so. You know the only way to damage them is with area of effect attacks, like burning hands. Moving quietly without bright lights bats won't swarm.

How about we do some pest control on the bats? Either actually controlling them (ie; Druid spells), or by eradicating them in a wholesale manner. I am thinking gas (bleach and ammonia make mustard gas)or other toxic fumes, fire and smoke. Burn something oily (like a body of a zombie) or roll a Flaming Sphere around inside the room with the door closed. Any kind of flame (even normal flame) should do some good. Maybe summon a swarm of owls? Or rabid flying squirrels. Hmmm, I wonder what rabid flying squirrels taste like?

You just missed the swarm of owls... Sekkim rejoins the party. While you wait for bats to calm down do you want to try a different direction or do you have a plan B?

if they are normal, no danger we can just go thru, doesnt matter if they fly about.. if that is the direction we want to go, lets just go, no need to attack or anything

I suppose we could do that. Or I could entertain our group and improve morale with a dramatic rendition of an old Halfling horticultural story. Or we could share recipes for brains and eggs. Just like Granny Tallruffles used to make. Mmmmm... brains! Are there any rats or squirrels or other rodents in this area? I am thinking if we can start killing a bunch, we can hang them on strings on our backpacks and around our necks. That way we'd always have food when we need it.

Where'd that fat rat that was following us around go?

Sorry to clarify...These are not normal, normal bats, but dungeon normal vampire bats. When swarming they auto hit for 1d6 to everyone in the swarm and cause bleed 1 (so you bleed -1 point each round until you stop and cure or bandage]. Much more the badass, I will swarm all over you and your friends drink your blood and kill you with a 1000 cuts. Going in there will be almost as bad as walking into the room of 1000 arrows. Hiding in the alcoves will not help. These are blind animals with blind sense so they see in the dark and will drink your blood 1 drop at a time. Please go for a stroll so I can demonstrate.

Bu-Shart could try his backpack thingie. If he went in first, the bats would be so repulsed by Bu-shart's stanky stink that they fly away in terror.

Ok Let's go down the dark scary hallway leading south. I will check for traps anywhere along the way I have not checked previously.

I moved on the map but that is a lot of movement. My intent is to reach the spot indicated. Move me back to appropriate position if you like

The short passageway takes a bend before ending in a small chamber dominated on the far side by a silver fountain quietly burbling perfectly clear water. An inscription above the fountain reads “Kassen’s legacy lives on with his people. Drink and be refreshed.”

Maybe Bu-shart could take a bath after we drink?

Several of you need a bath after the exploding zombie goo. peee-eewwww

I will scope out the small chamber and look for anything unusual about the fountain.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Nothing else found except what was described.

Do I hear bees?

Just the light trickle of water into the fountain. Although the bats give you a "I hear bees flashback"

Remember little fella, I made my fartitude save. So, I held my s&!t. The Kraken is merely the wind that passed in the stinky night. Or is it morning?

Does Fernleaf detect traps or hear anything when listening?

No traps found and he does not hear anything except for the trickle of the water into the fountain...after a good listen, he now has the desire to pee.

Anything else - drink?

Drink the water in here? That sounds dangerous. I will drink from my water flask!

WTF. I have nothing to lose. I will drink the water. Maybe it will help.

You feel much refreshed and more energetic. You have no real damage, but several small cuts you have heal up. Your not a cleric, but maybe this even cured your disease...hard to tell since you have no effects from that yet."That's some hhigh quality H2o!"

The kitty should drink some too.

If Fernleaf is going to be brave, then I too will drink from the fountain!

Same feeling as Fernleaf, but it heals Strength Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Your strength is now 10 instead of 8!

Fahari laps up some water as well.
