Manny casts Burning hands into the room. Get ready to run if there are thousands of the buggers.
The webs quickly catch fire, mostly burning away to reveal a purple spider along with the glint of metal. The spider hisses when it sees you and rushes forward to attack.
Asassi moves into Melle with her falchion, and slashes a large cut into the spider.
Manny attempts a very pathetic attack with his crossbow
Meilu tumbles into flanking position with Asassi.
And she stabs at the spider!
Suddenly, the spider seems to vanish with a puff of mist. There are doors to the north and south, and the mist floats slowly towards the north. Lying on the floor are some rusty (but still usable)weapons: two longswords, five daggers, and a hand axe, as well as a pouch containing some copper coins.
Manny grabs the coinz! We chase spider?
Let us go get da spider! Manny will head out with the others if Meilu wants to chase.
Meilu follows the gaseous spider northward, trying to poke it with her dagger.
She stops at the north door to check for traps!
The mist goes through the door, which does not appear to be trapped.
Meilu stops and presses her ear against the door.
Manny waits for the report.
Meilu doesn't hear anything.
Is it safe? If so let's go through.
Meilu pushes the door open just s crack, silently and slowly. She peeks inside.
The door creaks a little, and she can't get a good view angle into the room.
The floor of this small hallway is partially blocked by heaps of stone rubble. A skeletal human hand protrudes from one pile of rubble. The debris looks old, and the few sagging strands of web draped over the rubble seem to have been here for some time. There is no sign of the mist spider. There are doors to the north and east, and an alcove to the west.
Meilu checks for traps, especially the ceiling for 'falling rocks' type things.
If all is clear, she will slink into the room to check out the dead guy.
Meilu doesn't notice any traps. Investigating the skeleton she finds that it has been shattered into many pieces. There are a few scraps of old moldering clothing, as well as a sword that has rusted away into uselessness. However, there is a key that looks as though it is still useable.
Key, key! Manny will pocket if Meilu doesn't want. Whats in the alcove?
Meilu hands over the key. Just let me take a look before you go unlocking anything.
Manny looks!
There doesn't appear to be anything in the alcove.
North door.
Meilu moves to the north door and gives it the standard routine.
Meilu finds no traps.
Then she opens the door quietly and peeks inside.
Manny waits
This large stone chamber contains two clusters of four stone caskets each. In the center of the room, between the two groupings, stands an empty, unlit iron brazier that is covered with soot and smells faintly of past fires. Drapes of dust-covered spider webs cling to the ceiling.
Meilu slips inside, watching out for anything moving, glowing, or generally looking dangerous.
Manny keeps watch!
Nothing happens/ she doesn't notice anything.
Meilu will go inspect the closest group of caskets. Look first, don't touch!
A chill breeze rises from nowhere with an eerie howl. The room seems to darken, and in the sudden gloom, scores of small spectral eyeballs appear, drifting with the breeze. They peer intensely before fading away.
Eeep! Run away?
Meilu! Someone is spyin on us!
Meilu waves at the eyeballs nervously, attempting to strike a flirty pose.
Then she continues examining the caskets.
Manny, can you see if there's magic in these?
Manny uses Detect Magic!
Manny detects moderate illusion magic lingering around the room, and faint conjuration in the southwesternomst casket.
Manny:
Got something magic here in the south west casket
Meilu hurries over to the indicated casket. She checks it for traps.
You wanna open it?
Might be treasure, sure!
Meilu finds no traps on any of the caskets.
Oh! Was this it? A horn that is magic? Gobboes love music. We might trade this to the goblin leader for sleep space and food.
There is indeed a horn in the casket, clutched by a skeleton. An eerie light flickers in the skeleton's eyes, and it casts the horn aside as it stand up. In five of the other caskets, the lids come off as more skeletons emerge.
Kandoo rushes up to a skeleton and takes a swing at it, and it falls to pieces.
Ack! Dem bones!
Manny casts bless (+1 hit for 2 minutes)
Meilu moves to flank the closest skeleton with Manny. She stabs, aiming for a gap in the vertebrae.
The skeleton dodges Meilu's attack, and the skeletons close in with the party, although are unable to land a hit on the party
Um...I got nothin that will hurt em!
Meilu keeps on swinging
The skeletons are again mostly unable to hit the party; although Manny does get scratched a bit by a scimitar blade.
