Jared: ,
Goldus will 5ft step away from the spider and Daze it again if Aeden isn’t in between him and it.
If she is he’ll just Daze it.
Flouncy doesn't bother to try to hide again. He reloads and fires into melee.
Tassadar takes a 5 ft step back then tries to slice of the spider's legs, but hits only the floor.
In that case Goldus will simply back away and check the parties behind to make sure they’re not at risk of an ambush, thinking that it was best he save his precious few resources for now.
Flouncy hasn't done much to the spider, so he tries again.
Take that, eight-legged freak!
Goldus turns on his heel hearing the spider collapse onto the ground and joins the dots following Flouncy’s smack talk.
Wonderful shooting master Magoo, now if I may
Goldus recasts Dancing lights above the entrance see anymore of those creepy fellows down there? I can’t imagine it’s all alone, unless perhaps some resourceful fellows have trained him, in which case we’d have to deal with some resourceful fellows.
Flouncy reloads, fearing that Goldus may be right.
"Urm I think the spider was a male spider. If there's a male spider, there might be a female spider somewhere...again wait, don't male spiders eat female spiders?" He asks the party.
"Yeah it was female spiders eating male spiders. So maybe there might not be female spiders around."
yes, if I’m not mistaken that is the origin of the name black widow
looks as though someone else has already fallen victim to our eight legged foe says Goldus peering into the whole, look, at the bottom of the stairs there
"Well, lets go." Tassadar descends the stairs while keeping an eye out for threats.
Shouldn't we do something about that... thing? We don't need more spiders causing people grief.
what do you propose we do?
Ask Goldus himself wondering whether burning it would be a solution, thinking perhaps that the smoke may cause any other occupants to come exploring.
Though he did fear it would be rather disrespectful. And potentially smelly.
"Oh that guy. First we see if he's still alive, if he's not, then I guess we set fire to the webs and his body as well." Tassadar goes down the ladder to cut the person free then checks if he's still alive.
Goldus starts to rather clumsily make his way down the ladder, struggling to reach each wrung.
i have to say Human ladders are a challenge. So what’s the Verdict Dr.Tassadar will out patient live?
Wait a minute. What's in the pack?
Flouncy will look in it for anything useful or valuable, taking 20 for 24 perception.
He'll then disarm his crossbow and go down after Goldus.
"He's dead, Goldus." Tassadar answers matter of factly. "In fact, he died some time back."
Tassadar holds out the Chainmail to Aeden. "Do you want to use it?"If you don't, I will."
"Not interested in rapiers, if you want to check the backpack, go ahead, Flouncy."
Tassadar checks if any of the doors are trapped.
Then he opens the first one.
"Hey, what's this?" Tassadar hands the silver holy symbol to Aeden. "Looks like some priesty stuff to me," he peers at the symbol dubiously.
Tassadar tries to kick the door with his foot, but only ends up hurting his foot. "Ow! ow! ow! ow! What did I do to you you stupid door?" he howls with pain while hopping on one leg, conveniently forgetting he was the one to choose to assault the door.
Once he recovers over his stubbed foot, he rams the door with his shoulder. As the door breaks into splinters, he gives a savage yell of satisfaction, "Take that you oversized lump of wood! I'll show you who's the boss!"
Poor chap replied Goldus solemnly.
On the bright side if our foes as challenging as these doors it looks as though our chances of success are high
He says with a little chuckle. Goldus recognised the holy symbol but thought he’d best leave that to Aeden to explain.
Looks like a couple of potions here. And a scroll! I wonder what they do?
He'll hand them to people who can figure that out.
"I think I've found the armory!" Tassadar exclaims. "Does anyone want any of these?" He takes all of them out and puts it in a heap at the party's feet, except for the glaive and a longsword, which he keeps. "One of you check if anything is magical."He urges.
Tassadar tries to bust open the second door.
"Tassadar, the famous door buster!" Tassadar brags shamelessly as the door falls into splinters. "Whada ya guys know, I have hidden talents!"
Jared casts Detect Magic. "Tassadar, your sword is glowing." Jared looks at Tassader and asks, "May I?"
What an interesting looking arsenal said Goldus peering into the armory and wondering how much of a quarterstaff he'd need Tassadar to cut off before it fit him.
For the scroll
For the potions
Goldus Chuckles at Tassadar's braking down of another door but is quickly distracted by the content Now this might be more my speed
Tassadar feels distinctively nervous in the second room. "I feel like a bull in a china shop. There are so many breakables in there. I think I better stay out of it. "He edges out of that room hastily. He also shows his longsword off to Jared.
"Sorry Tassadar. All I can tell you right now is that it's magical. I'll try again, later."
"Uh huh."Tassadar mutters non committally.
"All right! Next door here we go!"
Tassadar tries to shoulder slam the door open but the door stubbornly refuses to budge.
He tries again. "Arrrrghhh you're more stubborn then a mule!" He scolds the door.
He tries again, this time with his foot, kicking the door open. "And the boot works!"
Im afraid Master Magoo that the potions are for now somewhat of a mystery to me, these scrolls however are of divine origin, they allow one, when wielded to manifest the aid spell
Goldus hands the goods back to Flouncy and heads back into the room of glass ware.
Perhaps that is for the best Master Tassadar Goldus begins riffling through the room careful not to brake any glass ware or disturb the chemicals.
After a minute or so he popped his head out, what we have here my friends in a masterwork Alchemical set. Handy if you know how to use it worth a pretty penny if you don’t and also very heavy, could someone lend a hand?
Goldus waddled back into the room to have a quick riffle through the various odds and ends and the promptly fell on his ass laughing Well you’ll never guess what I found he said quickly hopping back up and scooping various glittering odds and ends into out of the cupboard and worked out of the room.
"Oh sure, I'll help you haul it out of the room." He helps hauls the masterwork alchemical set out of the room. "Urm...I hope you don't intend for me to carry it all the way back to town..we have mules, you know."
Well I propose we carry it up out of this place and stash it in a bush for later
Said Goldus who seemed to be bouncing from one foot to the other with excitement. He had never expected to come across something so valuable as this. And what were the chances of there can’t after all be too many Silksworn in this part of the world.
