Smoke issues from the lamp and fills up the room. However, no genie comes a calling.
"Ha! I've heard of a smoking lamp before.. Nice defensive item if your in a pickle.. So you said something about setting up camp?"
trib nods his head, "Seems as good of place as any we can block tha door by sleepin' in front of it, yeah"
Gregor would say something witty and inappropriate, but he is too busy asphyxiating in the smoke.
Actually the smoke had no negative effects, it was just a fog cloud, so all smoke and no fire as it were.
hearing the excitement in Archie's voice Trib closes the door and drops his pack in front of it, and responds "As good a spot as any, yeah? I's'l sleep in front of tha door, if anyone tries ta get it it'll wake me."
Sitting down in front of the door he starts to open his pack getting out necessities, then settling down to a meal of hard tack, jerky, cheese and raisins, Glad a I got a little of the home town wine in me cup, it will go good with supper.
Archy tries to get some rest..
"So, for tonight's meal we have a crispy chicken biscuit with pepper jelly, Aldori gnocchi with Chelish-wine-braised beef and caramelized onions."
In the middle of the night some wondering monster goblins knock on the door and ask to be killed. Tribim obliges them and goes back to sleep.
You all wake up in morning without any serious interruption.
"What a peaceful night, was that goblins, couldn't have been, even they aren't that stupid, must have been a dream" Opening the door leaving the office they had slept in. Tribim, seeing the bodies of the goblins, has to rethink his conclusion, "Maybe they are that stupid'
leading the team back out into the Exterior room he proceeds to the door in the north east corner and checks it for locks and traps, he opens the door and looks inside.
Archy hands an axtract to Trib and Gregor the next morning.. "Barkskin extracts.. They'll last quite a long time."
No traps in M13.
Twelve shrunken human bodies without heads are laid side by side in this room.
"Holy s*@$, that's creepy."
Tribim smiles at Archy, "Thanks Archaemedes, I's'l try ta put that ta good use, yeah" tucking it in his pouch he enters the long room picking up each shrunken body, looking at it and then putting it down. As he does so he asks "Can any one tell if these radiate Magic of an sort?" After putting down the last body the checks the door at the end of the hall for locks or traps.
The door is not trapped.
You open it to reveal a room where the floor is covered with some sort of slimy green substance.
"NOPE!"
trib looks at the green substance pointing and asks "Does anybody recognize that?"
You don't think it is the nasty eat everything green slime.
trib scratches his head, "I don't think it's green slime, can anyone tell if it's magical, yeah."
Archy shrugs on it being magical.. He takes a look at the slime..
It seems to be very slippery slime.
For botting purposes, Maria detect magicked the shrunk bodies and got some transmutation. The slime does not radiate magic.
"I think its just normal slime.. Probably slippery if you stepped on it. I vote we leave the dolls alone.. Thats creepy as s!#$."
slippery slime, is that like a sheet of ice? Glad Archie didn't notice me picking up the bodies, we will just pretend it didn't happen. Trib starts out onto the slime being careful to keep his balance, "Well if its just slippery like ice we's may as well keep goin' on yeah." he skates his way east around the bend and to the door on the north western wall. He checks the doors for locks and traps he opens the door. and falls on his arse.
You fall on your bottom trying to keep your feet, but you are nimble enough to avoid injury. This leaves you prone right inside the door.
Trib smiles at the team from his exposed position, "Ive got an idea, if'n it don't work I may try tha vial of 'Oil of Etherealness' yeah." give me a moment.
Trib takes off his shield and sets in on the slime and then climbs aboard it sitting cross-legged, like a little kid ready to sled ride, he then draws his second cold iron rapier and lays them both across his lap, he then slowly takes enough rope from his robe and tosses the end to Archy. "I's'l push myself along using the rapiers on the floor or the wall, wherever's I can get purchase. It'll let the rope out slow like, whatever I find around the bend I will call back and tell you's what I see, then we can decide if'n we's are goin' on this way. If it's bad pull me back, quick like, yeah."
So Trib begins to push himself along the slippery surface aboard his shield using the rapiers on the walls until he gets around the bend to see what there is.
You are able to shimmy across the floor without and trouble. It's quite a bit like sliding on ice, but even more slippery. You don't see anything around the corner but another door.
Turning to the group he calls out, "'Airs another door, Shall I heads 'at way and see what 'air is ta see? Will we's be able to tie the bloody rope off an you's use it ta shimmy around ta this end? Or do you's want me ta come back and go another way?"
Archy sprouts feathery wings again to avoid the slime..
"I care not which way we go.."
Trib calls back "I'm going on then, yeah" he pushes himself around the bend and stops at the next door, checking it for locks and traps, he opens the door prepared to scream for the others to pull him back.
Door seems clear.
trib carefully draws another ten foot of rope off of his robe and cuts it loose to have it ready, he then carefully opens the door and looks inside the room.
The room is full of large spider webs.
trib ties the rope securely to the door knob, calling back to the party, " Tha rope is tied secure ta tha door knob, tha room is full o' spider webs, I's'l wait here fer ya, yeah" He sits cross legged on his shield, a rapier in both hands waiting to push off, "course if there are spiders in that room and they come out here, they can walk on walls and I can't, I may be bloody well buggered"
"I can try and burn em out with a flask or two.. Step aside.. And let me cook up something fisrt as well." He brews up a delay poison before tossing a couple of alchy fires into the room..
Using explosive bomb they have 10'radius for splash..
Trying to space em out for max fire spread..
The bombs clear out all the webs in a conflagration.
Then a round later they all somehow grow back into place.
Seeing the room engulfed in flame, trib smiles"That's the way to clear a room." Frowning slightly when the webs reappear, "Well you's don't see that everyday, yeah." Moving his shield into the door way. Returning his cold iron rapier to its scabbard in his pack. Jumping off his darkwood shield, glowing rapier in hand. He catches up his shield as quickly as possible as he looks about the room. Turning to Archy he shrugs his shoulders and says "Looks like we's are doin' this tha hard way."
It's just a room filled with webs. No critters that you can see.
Trib waits near the door, where the tied the rope off, waiting to see if his associates need assistance. He calls back "The way appears clear, come on over, yeah"
"I saw nothing in the room that would warrant dealing with sticky webs.. Lets move on to somewhere else.."
Yes, you spied a door at the end once all the webs were burned.
Yes, you spied a door at the end once all the webs were burned.
So how do you intend to get past the webs? I assume everyone else will slide into position using the rope on the slippy floor.
Fall in line..
Trib, standing in the doorway carefully looks into the room with the spider webs. Those grew back pretty quickly, I wonder If I can cut through them or if I will need to crawl. Trib steps into the room and slashes at the webs to see what happens.
It's like a web spell. You need to make reflex saves to not be grappled and it is all difficult terrain.
Normally I would bypass annoying obstacles, but this one is not trivial, so you will need to figure out how to get past it.
