Making sure that the cultist is securely bound, Arryn lines up the curve of his hook against the man's temple, says, "Don't worry, this won't hurt a little," and knocks the man out.
Damage: non-lethal
Nitrus nods, better than killing if there is no need for it
Okay, as long as we come back and take care of this traitor. What do we do next?
Bill has a look around the hole, looking for a secure place to tie off the rope. If needed he will break a wall so a rope could be tied around a supporting beam.
Rockjaw unravels the rope slung over his shoulder and begins tying it together into one continuous length. After that he goes and pounds a Pinon (think metal stake) into something secure, the back side of a beam for instance. He finishes off by tying the rope to the pinon and testing it for weight.
While he works, he talks to the group in short, gruff spurts.
I got'a hunnred feet o rope. Anyone else add to that? When I looked down tha hole from 'low, it was at least a hunnred feed deep. We will have to lower those that cant climb down, I volunteer for point.
Not wanting to get stuck at the top of a hole and unable to get down without doing a grand swan dive. Falling rocks and all that.
Its an easy climb down. The tunnel does a small spiral you are unsure but it appears to level out but it goes out of sight.
Tying the loose end around his waist and giving the free rope to the others, Rockjaw starts his desent into the black abyss muttering something about holes a nd Torag.or other.
Bill, using the rope and going slowly and carefully, goes down the hole. Sweat beads on his forehead as he does so. Obviously he is not very happy right now.
climb, take 10 | 10+2-3=9
The rock And the shield make slow but true, progress. As they reach the curve the hole levels out and no need for the rope remains. Not too far those with dark vision see the exit, about ,30ft further down. You also begin to notice Foul smell That's sweet, much like the smell of decay.
Thars a door at the end o the tunnel. OI! YOU AT THE TOP, COME ON DOWN. THARS A DOOR HERE!! he calls up to those still at the top of the hole.
Rockjaw then pulls out his shield and hammer in a very defensive position while slowly inching toward the door, making sure the others can get down safely.
As more light comes down you see the open exit but suddenly are aware of the amount of dried blood at your feat and along the tunnel. As you reach the exit you poke your head out and what you see will for ever scar you. In the room you assailed by the stench of rot as carcasses are piled waist high to a dwarf around the room. Up near the "front" of the room there is an alter from which emanates a cold chill, along with the same man you same earlier. His back is turned and he seems to be working with something.
well come on in. Don't be afraid. In your deaths you will find fulifilmemt like never before!
As he says this he turns to regard you.
Felix slides down the rope to join the others at the base of...whatever it was, the stench almost knocking him flat. "Wonderful..." he mutters as he follows the slowly advancing boulder.
well come on in. Don't be afraid. In your deaths you will find fulifilmemt like never before!
As the voice echoes out into the hall Felix steps forward, the sight of the room making him sick. "I believe you are confused. No more shall die for your demonic plans," he smiles. "Well, excepting you of course"
He then turns towards Rockjaw and nod's towards the man, a slight smile playing across his lips. "Ready when you are." he says with a grin.
Nitrus remains at the back, being close to explosive stuff was not good for anyones health, luckely he knew how to avoid burning his own allies
Bill's response is to cast a spell in ignan
then he readies his shield, with the light spell on it, which was cast earlier
Coming down the tunnel, Arryn looks with disgust at the display. "What kind of twisted, derranged, perverted...thing could ever think that something like this was a good idea!? Did your mommy not love you as a child or something? Can't imagine why not!"
Arryn glances about the room looking for Daniel.
Arryn- you see Daniel tied up and hanging infront of the wizard, his armor us strapped on so you cannot fully tell if he is breathing but you think you saw him move slightly. What worries you most though is the thing the man seems to be working on something made of flesh, bones and jigsswed meat. Laying down its hard to grasp its size but it easily towers of you.
A most of you enter the sacrifical room an eerie greenish blue light flares to life in braziers from the wall.
hmhmhm. So you say. But, did you know I have been here near a month? A month! Within the orders very city. That is the slackness and weakness of those you serve. Hiding in the shadow of there former glory and strength,, slowly rotting amd coming to ruin. Fortunately for you. You and your friend will find the fullfilment you have so sought as the first food of the great beast brought forth by urgathora! I think we will start with your paladin friend here. Now come feed your corpses to the dark god of undeath, and let your strength flow into my creation! Arise my child! Your food awaits you!
As he finishes his speech the alter seems to pulse with unearthly and evil power sendimg chills down your spine. Then a gruesome creature seemingly knitted from allanner of things and flesh arises from the alter, blood and oozes flowing from it from everywhere. As it rises several corpses, rise up around you. Some nothing but bones, others a mash of rotten flesh.
As the monstrosity arises a small doorway opens next to the man glowing an eerie purple and he steps through.
heheh. I believe I will be seeing you again my friends, hopefully we will be on the same side that time!
Just come on in? Have a seat I suppose? Lets all have some tea and crumpets while were at it eh? HAVE YOU GONE MAD BY TUNDAR?!?!
Rockjaw yells out before rumbling into action.
Anyone that enters the room. Please give me a fort save. (,or become nauseated)
Arryn moves towards the closest skeleton, his hook a-twirling.
Nitrus moves forward a little bit. and lobs a grande at the one skeleton
Dc13.
As you unleash hell upon the skeletons both fall into a clump of shattered and seared bones respectively. The being of rotten flesh moves forward towards the closest living thing. Including Daniel.
As Felix entered the room a strange sensation overcame him and he almost fell to his knees, but the sight of his friend in trouble brought fire back into his eyes. And with a fierce yell he rushed forward without a thought for the other enemies, drawing his nodachi from his shoulder as he reached the being, bringing it down full force into the creature.
Even as Felix was covered in the blood that gushed from the creature the fierce light in his eyes gleamed through, his sword buried deep into the creature.
As you bring your blade to bear in a lightning fast strike you cleave through its arm almost cleanly but as soon as your blade pull free it begins to reknit. It turns to regard you.
Feeling a little grumbly in the tummy, Rockjaw just chalks it up to having missed lunch, so dropping his defensive posture he moves over to the zombies on the left, preparing to strike.
The zombles and skeletons swarm the nearest life form
(Can't see the map so let's say two on arryn, two on Felix.)
The being (know dung. Nature, religion, or acana do know what it is) turns his attention to the man that almost sliced its fetid arm off then rakes him with his claws as an opening appears.
Arryn moves towards the bignasty, pausing to swing his hook at the skeleton.
Bill looks rather green around the gills.
A quick glance at Bill tells him that he isnt doing well so Rockjaw figures a word of encuragment will do..
Hey Green boy! Don puke on me now. Spill some guts, that'll get you feeling good! See?
But apparently he is too distracted and instead splatters the guts of one of the already dead corpses on the ground...
He lobs another vial, this time at the big creature, careful not to his his ally who is engaging it, but burning the zombie and the skeleton in the process
Felix is no longer sure if the blood coating his armor is from the beast, or his own as the hits piled on. "Well, that got their attention." he coughed. Knowing he was no use to Daniel dead he stepped back and took up a defensive posture as the blood continued to leak from his body.
Giving the corpse on the ground that he had just crushed a good kick, for good measure, he then turns to the one that is standing and an actual threat and mutters something about glasses, whatever that is...
He is rewardes with a good feeling as the zombie crumbles under his blow.
He then steps further forward, ready for the next one...
Bill steps forward, shaking off his nausea, and moves up to beside Felix sheathing his warhammer in the process. Once there he casts a spell in biting Ignan and touches Felix.
Zombie AoO
As the positive energy flows from Bill's hands The carrion golem reacts to it, moving and striking the bringer of his most hated energy.
but you manage to deflect his first blow with your shield, and the second claw merely leaves scratches on your armor.
The blue tinted zombie turns towards bill once again.
his fumbling claws sweeping wide.
The skeleton and green zombie strike out at arryn.
once again missing there marks.
Arryn counterattacks on the skelly.
;
; ;
Assuming the first blow destroys the Skelton, he directs the second at the zombie, slightly getting past DR. He takes a 5-foot step closer to bignasty.
As life flows back into Felix he steps out of his defensive stance and peers around. "Getting awfully crowded in here, isn't it? he says with a grin. "Should probably finish these small fry up before tackling that big monster. But I don't want to wait too long. It seems to be recovering somehow."
If the skeleton in front of bill is still there he will move up a hit it with his warhammer. Otherwise he will advance to the boss guy and hit him
I advanced Aaryn his 5-foot step towards bignasty.
As your blades strike true with the wrath of righteous warriors the undead crumble before you leaving only the giant mesh of rot and bone remaining. In what you believe is the most human like thing it could ever do it lets out a roar of rage and again goes for the Cleric.
its first blow lands home, hitting Bill's ribs
but suddenly as it moves to strike again Felix's first wound takes its toll, as it swings its arm back to strike the seams binding it together finally break, and the fetid arm falls off in a smattering of green goo, rotted body parts and fluids.
