Jominda is startled as the magic washes over her, but it can't get hold. Seeing Herm in his agony, she is really happy not to be affected.
Kendra too resists the magic, but Harrold is hit with the wrecking pain, just like Herm.
The room behind has nothing that would ask for such a safety meassure. At least not on first sight. No enemy who would take advantage of the condition the pain inflicts. No treasures that need to be protected.
Herm looks the room over detecting Evil
"No evil here."{/b] Herm announces, face contorted in pain, Herm steps away from the circle and to the door they came through. [b]"OK so now we have to ascend the tower."
"Look, over there." Jominda tells the others. She is not sure if Herm is interested in this information, as his face still shows the signs of the pain caused by the magic symbol.
She walks over and starts pulling out the loose stones.
Behind the stones there is a crude, tight passage. As if someone walled up a way into the next room that wasn't very comfortable to start with. On the other side there is light as oif a lit torch is burning.
Jominda sees a shadow moving, and a moment later the whole room in which the group stands in, fills with a green gas that stinks like rotten eggs.
Herm follows where Jominda is pointing. "Careful looks odd that it is brickedu p like that." Herm says putting his sword away and helping to remove the Stones.
Jominda starts coughing, and as it gets worse she coughs up her breakfast.
Herm is able to blow off the stink that is filling the room. "was it a trap that we missed?" Herm asks while looking around for the source
Because the green cloud prevents sight beyond five feet, searching for its cause is called off.
Stout Yigli has smoked worse than this.
"How long will that spell last Kendra?" Herm says backing out of it
Kendra tries to make her way out of the cloud. Once she is back in the other room she answers Herm. "That depends on the caster. But it should be over soon."
"So we just wait it out then? Do you think someone cast it or a spell trap like before?" Herm asks again
Jominda stumbles out of the fog too, spitting some more acid from her stomach on the floor.
"It's Estovion." she presses out between retching.
"What?" Herm questions, a anger in his voice. "Estovion come out here and talk."
Estovion talks, but doesn't come out.
Instead a large wolf comes out of the green fog and attacks Herm. Herm ends up on the ground, the wolf over him and a large wound gaping in his leg.
Party <--
"Now, there, mutt! You'll find I'm a tougher foe when not using psychedelic mushrooms!" Chef hurls a bolt of fire at the wolf.
Herm slams into the ground, his plate armor screeching as she slides a bit. Herm pulls out his dagger to stab at the wolf while down.
"Hang in there, I'll help you." Jominda tells, only to be shaken by another round of nausea, with her doing nothing but bend over to not puke on her shoes.
"I have it, Do Werewolves keep wolves as pets?" Herm shouts
"Maybe it's a were in wolf form?" Kendra suspects. She is not sure what to do, as her attacks won't do much anyway.
"Well hopefully this is the only one!" Herm shouts as he keeps the wolf from biting his face off.
Yilgwi shoots the wolf with fire and Herm gives it a good stabbing, but it can take more. It keeps threatening and biting Herm with its sharp teeth.
Herm Stabs again at the Wolf on him.
With no one doing much harm to the wolf, Kendra decides to try her acid splash. Maybe it will be the tip on the scale to end this fight early.
Yilgwi misses the wolf badly!
With all still dizzy from the stink, hitting that wolf is a challenge only Kendra masters. But with neglectable result. The wolf keeps biting down on Herm. It ignores, what the others around it try to do to it. But this time it bites on iron.
"BURN, YE FOUL, GAMEY BEAST!"
Out of the ground appear black tentacles, that grab at everyone in the area.
Herm sticks his left vembrace into the wolves mouth as it bites down.
Stabbing out at the wolf agian
Despite the tentacles taking hold of Herm, he adds another wound to the wolf. Combined with the acid burning into it's flesh, there is not much left of the wolf.
Anyway it keeps attacking Herm, before it is killed by the ongoing damage and simply disappears.
Estovion has joined the dark room.
"What is this now?" Herm shouts as he stabs out at the thing.
Yilgwi does his best to break free from the creepy things.
Jomanda pukes into the tentacles. That thing gripping her waist really doesn't help.
Herm stabs the rubbery things, but to no effect. Yilgwi manages to break free and leaves the area .
Herm attempts to use his strength to get out of the bonds of this spells.
Herms also makes it out of the patch.
Estovion shoots lightning at Herm.
Herm Moves forward quickly, long sword in one hand.
