[ooc] only had 1 HP and a nat 20 deserves at least 1 point![/dice]
Several things are found on the body. Most of it has been destroyed by the Zombies, but of note are
a Waterskin
2 days Rations
A signet ring with the Family name Synder on it.
A dagger
A journal
Studded Leather Armor
A piece of a map HERE
The Journal is mostly damaged but the following can be read
...finally figured out what happenned at this temple...raised the dead to destroy the cyclopian threat...failed...undead remaining...one cyclops took me by surprise...broke his axe...have escaped skeletons and am going to make a break for it in the morning. If I do not make it out and this is found please return our family ring to my brother...is a priest of...usually he can be...Port Peril at the Grog and Wench.
Grung begins stripping the studded leather armor off the body, and checking it over for servicability.
"Anyone needs?"
Bard right. Armour stinky, slimy, gross. Perfect for orcs.
Impatiens takes another look around.
Nothing magical
Grung takes off his armored coat and puts on the studded leather, then puts his armored coat on over it.
"Armor good for hobgoblin."
In the corner of the room is a small nook, which apparently had stone piled up in front of it, perhaps where the body had hidden for a time.
The far end of the room has a massive set of double doors. They are closed.
Intelligence . She stoops over the dead body.
Impatiens figures out that the dead guy didn't raise the dead. She ponders whether or not that information is immediately relevant and as such should be revealed to the other party members. She then contemplates the stinky smelly state of her armour.
In the end she reaches the following decisions: 1. Leather absorbs blood way too easily, 2. That one stain on her elbow may never come out, 3. Undead are just too darn icky, 4. Zombies are especially gross, 5. Lilac really is her colour and she should wear more in that shade (off duty only of course), 6. The standard colour charts are wrong. Impatiens is and always will be an autumn, and 7. She'll tell everyone about the dead dude if and when the need arises.
With that the overly large tiefling barbarian stands up straight, stretches and readies her sword.
"Might want to move on."
Valdric finds nothing of interest.
Grung and Impy stand in front of the two double doors.
10 feet behind is Espy, whip in hand.
Valdric brings up the rear with Lou ready immediately behind Grung.
The doors open. Utter carnage confronts the party. Obviously this is the scene of two battles one ancient and one recent. Bones are strewn all over the room, some giant sized many humanoid sized. Additionally there is blood spatterd everywhere, dry and with a vague trail to a large stone throne, 80 feet away.
In the throne is a large one eyed almost ancient creature, with one arm hanging limpy at it's side and a greataxe shattered on the floor. In the good hand is a large club. On the throne rests a massive loaded crossbow
As soon as the doors slam open the eye pops open.
Meat!
It rises.
Espy
Impy
Grung
Lou
Valdric
This is a cyclops.
Once per day as an immediate action, a cyclops can peer into an occluded visual spectrum of possible futures, gaining insight that allows it to select the exact result of one die roll before the roll is made. This effect can alter an action taken by the cyclops only, and cannot be applied to the rolls of others.
Knowledge local
Polyglot
"Great empire king, we have come to serve."
Common
"A real live cyclops!"
Serve me by feeding me! Give me two and you may serve me and pass!
Valdric thinks there is a chance buuuut probably not
"At once great king!"
Grung goes back and halls in two of the defeated zombies.
You misunderstand Slave. I will eat two of you before me. You will choose which two and bring them to me.
You lie slave. You stall for time. Now you will die.
Valdric's bolt seems to fly true but it catches in the folds of muscle fat and thick skin.
Impatiens will approach. When she is 30 feet away from the cyclops she will cast darkness as a spell like ability on her pilum. She will then throw the pilum at the cyclops.
"Spear go dark soon. Be ready"
After she hurls her spear, she will draw her sword.
Die roll for throwing the spear (if needed): for damage.
She cries her battle cry
Impy does a double move while drawing her plum, she stops 30 feet away from the Cyclops.

"Great king how about a good supply of kobolds to eat?"
Lou manuvers to seperate himself from the main group in an attempt to divide the creature's attention and setting himself up for a possible flank position.
Lou manuvers toward the side of the creatue that has the bad arm.
Lou moves to about 20 feet from the Cyclops
Espy moves forward 30 feet and goes on the defensive
The Cyclops rises with the Heavy crossbow in hand...one hand it fires at Lou
to confirm for
Lou drops skewarded
The Cyclops drops the crossbow.
If Impy has a potion she can save him. Everyone else is too far away.
Mmmm that one for meat! Get one more and maybe you can be slaves!
The grease strikes the club with unerring accuracy and it is now slick.
Valdric arrives at Lou's side just in time to hear him breathe his last.
Currently the Cyclops is unarmed eyeing his Great Club that is all kinds of Greasy.
Impy will throw her dark spear now.
"And since you can not keep a bargain you die!"
Greatsword
Damage
To confirm critical
The cyclops reaches for the greasy great club. it slips out of his grasp so he tries again and he still cannot seem to pick it up.
Impy flings her pilum for
A cry of pain is heard from the darkness.
Another furious cry of pain issues from the darkness.
The cyclops closes it's eye for a second and then grabs his club
It then swings a vicious swing at Grung...50/50 miss chance though
for
The club slams into Grung's chest. dealing 5 damage.
After the club slams into Grung it slips out of the Cyclop's hand and clatters to the floor.
