Vatilda - stepped back and hit orc with blast 8 HP
Karnog
"I am Kalim, and you have my gratitude. Death by frog isn't the sort of end one hopes for."
Karnog steps over and grabs the haft of the spear protruding from the murder holes. A waft of acrid smoke rises from behind his knuckles and leaves scorch marks on the wooden shaft.
touch, damage, bypassing hardness 3 and DR 3 (5/6 remaining)
not sure wot me proper name be. When I was being chased by orcs they were shouting something...sounded like Grungsdi so that is as good a name as any I suppose. Let's see if there is anything in the pool, shall we?
Grung and Kalim can each make a perception check as you search aroudn the cavern lair and pool.
Karnog your touch spear causing it damage. the spear crumbles away.
+2 stone cunning
Malcolm again attacks the new Orc in C7.
Malcolm hits the orc that stepped into the fray. The beast is still on his feet.
RD 7 Orcs

The injured orc attacks with hi falchion catches swinging at Malcolm (C,7)
;
Desmond:
the orc in (E,4) presses his attack on Desmond.
;
A second orc attacks and pokes from the corner.
;
Grung and Kalim as you hunt around the cavern you each notice an unusual hump on the flooring that has been worn by running water and time.
I put a red arrow and red halo around the area mentioned above.
"How you doing over there, Desmond?"
touch, damage (Ignores Hardness 3/DR 3)
Karnog reaches out to ruin another longspear.
percep for water
what do you think this is? he says in regard to the bump
Grung your a bit timid walking around the edge of the water in your full plate armor, so you don't get a good look at what lays beneath the surface. Although you do notice that it's a bit humid as you approach the pool, clearly a sign of warm water spring.
Kalim barely looks at the water.
Grung and Kalim seem to be more fixated on the small mound in the cavern than the pool.
Grung pokes at the mound with his ax.
It's packed dirt Grung, it'll take some work with a shovel or pick to loose it up and dig. As you poke around, you figure it's an unnatural occurrence.
RD 7 Daarog's Lair
Malcolm - hit his orc
Orcs - I believe Des is at -1 HP after this attack.
Des
Vatilda -
Karnog
next up....
Grung brings out his dagger and warhammer and creates a makeshift hammer and chisel to see what he can discover
something strange about this here
As he works I wa chased in here by orcs. What are you doing in here?
After a few whacks the blade finally crumbles through the impacted soil, loosening the ground.It's slow work.
Wouldn't be a dwarf if I gave up easily!
He continues until he can work Croaker into te hole and pry more out
"Hmmmm.
Karnog did ruin the second spear that was jabbing out at its enemies. There's a bit of orcish cursing.
RD 7 Remaining:
Des -
vatilda
As Grung continues to work, So what are ye coin down here? And your welcome.
Karnog you hear a loud thunk coming from down the hall where you last saw Des. He did not answer your question regarding how he was doing.
A dying creature is unconscious and near death. Creatures that have negative hit points and have not stabilized are dying. A dying creature can take no actions. On the character's next turn, after being reduced to negative hit points (but not dead), and on all subsequent turns, the character must make a DC 10 Constitution check to become stable. The character takes a penalty on this roll equal to his negative hit point total. A character that is stable does not need to make this check. A natural 20 on this check is an automatic success. If the character fails this check, he loses 1 hit point. If a dying creature has an amount of negative hit points equal to its Constitution score, it dies.
Grung after about 20 minutes of digging you get down about 2 and half feet using your makeshift shovel, when you hit the top of something. The sound is tinny. After another few minutes minutes you have brushed away the dirt and loosened the packed dirt away form what is box of some sort. There is some sort of script or markings etched into the lid.
Malcolm slides five feet to C-6 and Attacks the Orc in C-7.
Grung looks at it carefully
[ooc] Taking 20 for 28[/dice]
If he sees no traps, he will try to open it.
"Lad? You better not be dying on me ya daft fool!"
Karnog moves back to where Desmond was last up, seeing him prone, zaps him with the CMW wand.
CMW (4 charges remaining)
Round 7
Seeing Desmond drop, Vatilda lowers her shield and rushes past him to slam into the orc on the other side.
Grung you get the box out with a bit of effort it quite heavy and it has a fancy lock that doesn't have spect of dirt on it even though it's been in a hole. That is highly suspicious to you. The box itself is weathered, it is made of iron now that you have it removed. It weighs at least 150 lbs and measures 3 by 2.
Karnog will provide enough healing on the lad to stop the decent and raise him to consciousness.
Vatilda surprises the orc and pushes him back. The second orc takes an attack on her.
