Kalona; the dwarf obviously worships the dwarven redneck god of buried wealth, treasure, mining of ore and gems, and underground exploration. yep; his followers are known to hide their jewels sewn into their matresses or bury it somewhere under a rock or something and dont keep any on them in case they get robbed; Strange about those redneck dwarves is they seem to have some type of demigod of growth and health that is known for planting and awakening trees; weird bunch them Redneck dwarves; but they like their alcohol and dancing. yep; he is a worshiper of Dumathion; his followers are known to be extremely prideful just like their god and dont take to kindly to practical jokes.
Ye whistle a good wind Kalona, does this mean ye are windbag?"hehe...cough, cough..heh. Maybe so, heh. I suppose that green about your horns would then make you a greenhorn?" A sparkle in her eye then another bout of coughing and she reaches again under her wing and, with a bit of effort, out comes a waterskin and a bowl.
One of the skeletons comes over and poors some water in the bowl then picks it up and dumps it on her. He repeats a couple of times and she shakes a bit and picks at a few feathers here and there then sticks her head into a finally filled bowl and proceeds to gargle a bit till satisfied. The skeleton corks the waterskin and she proceeds to shove it and the bowl back under her wing where they disappear.
"Ahh, much better...cough."
I will position a skeleton at each hallway facing away from the T and have it play guard duty (if it notices something have it point at it, if something attacks have it return to me).
"Well, know I know why the shaman's always insisted on holding a proper burning of the dead." Eyes the dwarf...
"Oh and if we are going to practice some extensive healing magic...that is not from items and such and generally its better to deal with more than one spell, please let me know I can lend a hand."
We should move quickly. Defending a T is one of the worst places to be. We don't want to get pushed back where we came.
Kalona edges a bit closer to Grymbol in a lower voice, though not really that low.
"Grymbol, you better be careful around that dwarf, I hear they dont like jokes and drink that funny drink a lot, so I would think they dont take kindly to Winter's wry wit."
"Also, have you noticed that Llevnoc is acting funny, I know Jewel said he is insane, but he keeps doing little things to try and get peoples attention like he wants something but is scared to say it and at the same time he keeps trying to move, especially down that left hallway...dont suppose he knows something do you? Hmmm, maybe its the dwarf that has his nerves rattled more than usual. I hear they dont get along with elves maybe he is worried the dwarf will 'split hairs' with him..." Gives Grymbol a knowing glance.--All said in Sylvan for the fey.
"Whats that Namaste, Mages should go check out that room...well I am not a mage, but I do know a thing or two about magic and I have some unique talents in that area so would be glad to help...I wonder if any sparkles didnt get covered in goo." Gives a wink to Grymbol and flies over to the skeleton in that hallway and marches off humming to herself."--in Greek.
"It sounds as if that room is the center of months of hard work. I say we sabotage it all. Slow them down. Our enemies already knw we are here to some extent. I say we give them something else to worry about."
Laddie I mean no disrespect but I did just blow that rooms interior to the lowest plane of Hades. The rooms walls were sturdy and I believe they are still sound but I am sure the rooms contents are already in very bad shape. And I agree we must be quick in getting to a different location we are sitting ducks at this intersection.
Ye should know that those without humor are the ones who need it the most.
Under my breath "good I thought one of those mad elf's were in charge."
Then it is to you, Namaste, First Daughter of the Merchant House of Lusk in Adar, that I ask to join your quest for we have the same goals.
hehe; one correction of Kosan's statement; guess I was unclear in my email to him; the hallway he saw is the one you guys are all in now; so the room he came from has a way out; and a way down and of course the hall you are in continues left or east if your orienting from the pool room.
That's what I meant to say.
The dusty dwarf waits out the explosion, Stands up and proclaims "Uller take you into his mead hall, Rest now my comrades, rest." He looks around at the cowering mass of dusty non-dwarfs and grips his axe and proclaims to them All "Friend or foe and be quick about answering."Friend an why is quickness needed if you are among friends. If you where amung enemys you would have found out very quickly with a stab in the gut.
In Dwarven: It is always proper my pointed eared ragamuffin to give one a chance to state his intent before you separate his head from his neck.
As Namaste mentions that Grymble is a priest; you can roll on his holy symbol as well.
religion roll for Grymble 15 (1d20) = No Modifiers = 15
Thoronhen, Llvenoc stand next to me and I will wash the poison away with me Lady's power.
Val
Lsdy Jewel, may I request one of the potions of healing from ye, I need to keep me strengh up.
Kemnebi batters his way back to wakefulness, and blearily opens his eyes.
"Good gods, what was that stuff?" He mutters, getting his feet back under him. "It tastes awful!" He adds, trying to work the taste out of his mouth.
He starts a little when he realizes it is the Lady June who is helping him back to his feet, his guilty glance to Nebibit reveals that he thought it was her. He mutters his thanks for the cure once he is told that he received it, obviously embarrassed at his display of weakness.
But his indomitable personality, spurred on at least a little due to June's close proximity no doubt, soon reasserts itself. He stands a little taller and brazenly (for him) says,
"Master dwarf. You certainly know how to make an entrance!"
I wink at Kemnebi and say " We do what we must to rid the world of imperfections." then "I hope you are recovering It was not my intent to hurt any from this party."
Thoronhen, Llvenoc stand next to me and I will wash the poison away with me Lady's power.
Thanks Grymbol! I really needed that.

you have no idea; Grymble; describe your holy symbol please.

None; dwarves are typically LG; but not all as a culture.
Val
** spoiler omitted **
Ok; she looks at you; lets hear the request.
Lsdy Jewel, may I request one of the potions of healing from ye, I need to keep me strengh up.
Thoronhen, Llvenoc stand next to me and I will wash the poison away with me Lady's power.
I continue on my way, riding the skeleton into the room the dwarf just blew up. Looking for anything interesting and/or sparkly.
ok; Kaloni rides off to the room; rest of you just gonna stand in the hall at the T? the hall is nearly 100 ft long to the room from the center of the T
I am heading down from where the blast came to check the room out and back up Kalona.
Kemnebi smiles warmly at Nebibit as she helps him to his feet.
"Just like old times." He says with a warm, open smile as he brushes himself off a little bit, Nodding his thanks to Nebibit.
As his takes in his surroundings, he becomes more solemn, almost tense.
"I need to research more defensive charms. The explosion and gas should have been easily avoided,..." He mutters to himself as he falls in line, trying to see what everyone is doing.
As the group starts to head towards the 'boom' room, he falls back into the earlier agreed-upon formation. Or as close to it as possible if others are milling around or forging ahead.
Nebibit gives a simple nod at the thanks before falling into step next to him all the while glaring holes into the back of the Dwarf. "Well I think it's safe to say any chance of doing this stealthily have gone out the window"
"Agreed. With all the noise our new companion here has generated our enemies will soon be closing in. We need to move quickly."
I start heading towards the room as well.
"Whats that Namaste, Mages should go check out that room...well I am not a mage, but I do know a thing or two about magic and I have some unique talents in that area so would be glad to help...I wonder if any sparkles didnt get covered in goo."
"That would be fine. I just want to know if there is anything that might tell us what they were making, assuming there is anything that survived the explosion. I'm guessing golems?"
ok; Kaloni rides off to the room; rest of you just gonna stand in the hall at the T? the hall is nearly 100 ft long to the room from the center of the T
I'll move halfway down the hall, in case we need any sudden swapping.
Under my breath "good I thought one of those mad elf's were in charge."
Then it is to you, Namaste, First Daughter of the Merchant House of Lusk in Adar, that I ask to join your quest for we have the same goals.
"I'm sure we'll be glad to have you. The earthen senses of a dwarf would be most beneficial, and another capable arm in battle will be helpful as well."
If spot check is made:
Nebibit gives a simple nod at the thanks before falling into step next to him all the while glaring holes into the back of the Dwarf. "Well I think it's safe to say any chance of doing this stealthily have gone out the window"
"Agreed. With all the noise our new companion here has generated our enemies will soon be closing in. We need to move quickly."
I start heading towards the room as well.
In Common: with a concerned look on my face while scratching, my ponderous, beard as I start walking down the hall way I say "Forgive them Uller they are naive in the ways of cleansing a foul area." and " I hope they can fight as well as they complain and lolly gag."
Val
[occ] I need to do a roll to see I know that Astinios' Half Plate is Dwarven made. What do you want me to roll. I am a Armorer.[/occ]
The newcomer notices that the dark-furred cat-person is looking at him curiously. When he notices the dwarf returning his stare, he grins sheepishly and gives a small half-wave.
"Sorry, didn't mean to be rude." He murmurs by way of apology. He returns his attention to following the others down the scorched hallway. But it is mostly due to his familiar's diligence that it seems to stay there.
Kosan; common is not a language that you can speak for higher understanding of "this for that" and other simple type trade things; this is post Babylon; there is not common language on the planet.

no; it is obvious to you; you would have to roll if you wanted to recognise the style or inscription of who the armorer who made it was.

ok; am a little confused; who is in the room searching it and who is in the hall outside the lab and how far down the hall?
the room is as Kosan stated; but now has a burn acidic smell; the wheel is still turning slighty burnt bodies that are chained onto it into the pool; the brass sealed kettles are still making sucking sounds. many of the skulls on the altar are out of place; lots of trash and broken pottery and glass on the floor. you cannot help but step on it as you wade through the room; lots of wet stains of this and that and a bit of ozone smell from the pool of chemicals that the wheel churns the bodies into.
anyone with skills can make rolls specific to the circle; the wheel, the altar; ect.
skills in question; engineering; arcane knowledge; religion; craft x.
kk.
Knowledge religion check
Nebibit:
the altar is to Hecate an evil greecian goddess of magic and undeath
Knowledge religion check
So anyone see anything of interest?

I was in the room, the skelly is doing the walking/handling. If its bones begin to melt will make sure it moves/drops whatever.
"Careful." Nebibit cautions as she moves to beside Llvinoc "I'm pretty sure that is an alter to Hecate goddess of magic and Undeath no telling what vial curses and the like could be upon it."
