"I won't tell him that you used it on a goblin, if you don't." Gorn-Rel says with a smile.
Na'shok marvels at his new magical development but knows he doesn't have long before it wears off. He paddles over to the loose rocks and tries to knock them free.
It take less than 30 seconds of work to free the loose stones. A thick layer of dust coats the rest of the cavern. Near the wall sits an old wooden chest covered with dust and cobwebs.
"I won't tell him that you used it on a goblin, if you don't." Gorn-Rel says with a smile.
"Humph." Horgus replies.
Varda chuckles softly at Gorn's words.
Nash climbs up and checks out the chest. He gestures for Larissa to join him.
After confirming that it's definitely not trapped, Na'shok tries to open it.
Gorn-Rel nods to Varda, "Thank you."
After climbing back up, Gorn takes some potions from Horgus.
Seeing the revealed chest, Aenthurien swims over and examines it for traps and to see if it is locked.
Nash climbs up and checks out the chest. He gestures for Larissa to join him.
After confirming that it's definitely not trapped, Na'shok tries to open it.
Intending on checking the chest for traps, Na'shock & Aenthurien forgets to check the path leading up to it. They hear a click under their feet as they step into the room; a pit trap lined with spikes opens.
Na'shok grunts in pain and surprise as he tumbles into the pit.
After a good amount of cursing, he climbs out and resumes checking the chest.
After picking yourself up and climbing out of the pit trap, you find the chest is open. Within the chest is a piece of white breastplate made of scales that give off a light mist (+1 cloud dragonscale breastplate), a magical ring, a scroll of CLW, a scroll of magic fang, two potions, and around 250 g).
After making sure the elf is still mobile, Na'shok packs up the items and hauls them back up the rope. He orders Larissa to follow.
Varda examines the items as Na'shok shows them to her.
The ring is a ring of climbing. The potions are potions of darkvision.
"I think we should give the armor to Frekhi, he seems to attract danger."
Na'shok helps himself to one of those potions that are going around and heads north.
"I think we should check the southern door before taking the ladder."
Frekhi asks Gorn or Na'shok to take the lead for now. He is quite shaken up from his ordeal.
Gorn-Rel is happy to lead.
Nash stares at the new magical armor Frekhi put on and shrugs.
Gorn Rel scans the room before he goes to open the next door.
Varda holds her bow ready and watches the rear, glancing forward now and again to remain aware of all her surroundings.
In the southwestern part of this room, stout stone chairs surround a block of larger stone that serves as a table. The table's top strewn with bone dice and cracked clay jugs. Stained canvas pillows rest on the chairs. A copper bowl filled with coals hangs from the ceiling, filling the room with a warmth and an orange glow.
This narrow hallway slopes downward steeply. The walls are stained with foul smelling streaks of refuse. A mound of rotting garbage lies heaped at the far end of the hallway.
"Let us check the ladder in this room."
The ladder descends about 15 ft. The air down there smells of mold.
Sure.
Seeing the Mongrelmen, Gorn-Rel calls out, "Die demon worshipers!"
Two mongrelmen are behind a well built barricade, designed to give the defenders the high ground and partial cover from those lower than them. Beyond them is a door leading into another room, where you can see two more mongrelmen eating. The two mongrelmen bellow and shout, warning their companions. Water glistens on the walls, and collects in a stagnant pool along one wall.
Gorn-Rel
Frekhi
Mongrelmen enemies
Aenthurien
Varda
Na'shok
Gorn-Rel moves up to bring Sul's vengeance down on these cultists, while using ancient turtle based martial secrets.
Sul's vengeance is deferred.
Gorn notices that the 1 ft deep water puddle was holding some sharp stones within. He nimbully leaps over the puddle to reach his intended target.
The mongrelmen make an attack as Gorn gets into position...
but swings wide.
Frekhi total defenses, and climbs down to get adjacent to the nearest mongrolmen.
One mongrelman attacks Frekhi, the other Gorn...
In a moment of carelessness, Gorn lets down his guard. He suudenly feels like his head is split open as a mongrelmen's club successfuly connects with his head.
The mongrelmen who were eating pick up their clubs and stand up.
PARTY UP.
Varda hops down the hole and raises her bow to fire a quick shot at the nearest dog-creature.
Hearing the sounds of battle, Na'shok slides down the rope and moves in behind the dogman. He cracks his barbed whip for dramatic effect and then lashes one of the mongrelmen.
Varda's fires an arrow, grazing a mongrelman's arm. Na'shok wraps the barbed end of his whip around the mongrelman's neck and pulls, causing deep lacerations. Larissa attempts to trip a mongrelman, but fails.
Aenthuen climbs down, pulling his bow in the process.
Gorn'Rel is up.
Frekhi gets on the tripping bandwagon...
Frekhi grabs a mongrelman's arm and yanks him down to the ground.
Though he is smarting with pain Gorn-Rel beats the fallen mongrel man to a pulp.
Gorn's first attack knocks the fallen mongrel out cold. Spinning, he attacks the other mongrol behind his percieved safety on the wall, but his attack still connects.
The two mongrelmen in the back room enter your room. Two of them attack Gorn-Rel, while the injured one with no opponent adjacent total defenses.
Gorn is knocked unconscious at -2 hp
PARTY UP.
Seeing the goblin badly wounded, Na'shok drops his whip and roars a warcry.
He closes on the line of enemies and slams his hammer into the wounded one.
Na'shok slams his hammer into the goblin's leg, breaking his kneecap, toppling him into the floor. Na'shok follows up by braining the Mongrolmen.
