Dakka shrugs and bends down to take the keys. Then he sidles over to the door to listen with Urhan.
"Yes Shea...augh!" Dakka hops up and down in celebration of Shea's vanquishing of the troglodyte and promptly retches.
"Hello, what's this? Keys? How handy."
Dakka tries again for a clear shot at the troglodyte. With his stomach twisting from the stench and his comrades swarming the enemy he prays for a lucky shot.
"The stench is in my feathers, I know it!
Once again Dakka is overcome by the stench! "Gah, that smell! I can't get used to it! I feel like I'll never be clean again. You're certainly a big fellow aren't you. And extra stinky as well. Perhaps if we get rid of you things will clear up a bit."
"Good night majestic creature." Dakka says a little sadly and then looks around the room carefully.
"Shall we backtrack and explore the rest of the floor?"
Dakka looses another poorly aimed shot.
As the giant frog's tongue lashes out Dakka hops a little in suprise. "Amazing! You're perhaps even more entertaining than your lizard friend!"
He's so fascinated by the frog's display he entirely forgets to aim his shot.
Dakka peers into the room to the north from the door way. "Go away frog, you don't want to eat me. I have been thoroughly spoiled by troglodyte fumes and will only make you sick. Besides my bones are sharp and will stick in your throat. Say, do you know the lizard below? He seems nice."
Dakka moves into the room and fires at the northern troglodyte.
"Ugh its back!" Dakka ties to suppress the dry heaves in his stomach. "It's worse than ever!" Dakka takes a step to get an clear shot and woozily fires his longbow.
Dakka takes up position with his bow ready. "Again I await for you brave mammals to lead the way. I promise to say kind things should you perish." Dakka strains to listen to the voices beyond the door, trying to get a sense of how many speakers there are.
His hand strays to the wooden symbol around his neck and he begins to murmur quietly.
Sure we can go ahead and rest. Not that Dakka needs it. If I had thought about resting I probably would have cast a spell or something in the last couple fights.
"Fair enough Chombo. Couldn't hurt." Dakka gives the altar a thorough inspection.
"I'm sure you'll think of a proper rhyme for spider soon Urhan, otherwise you're description of the smell was... vivid." Dakka will take the time to rest and inspect the area more thoroughly.
Spoiler:
Melee bite +2 (1d6+1 plus trip) the effect of the wolf's bite, that is any successful attack is damage plus a trip attempt at the wolf's cmb Dakka bobs his head. "Yes there is bound to be more!"
"Friends, our first loot together! Dakka happily hops over and paws through the sacred items. "Be sure to use rich word-colors for this one Urhan!" Dakka looks at the scrolls. "I feel like I should be able to use one of these." He shrugs.
Dakka flings a bullet towards the green skeleton and reloads his sling.[ooc]Move Action.
Dakka tries to clear his mind and extend his senses into the room.
Giving the skeletons a worried glance Dakka stows his longbow and pulls out his sling, loading a bullet.
Dakka watches Aicard wrenching at the door with equanimity. "Surely Chombo does not need to demonstrate his might on paltry doors and such. As, clearly, neither do the rest of us. I pray we shall find a task equal of Chombo on the other side of this door."
"You are generous to share the glory Urhan." Dakka nods. "Come on friends, put your strong mammalian backs to work."
Dakka stops short at the door. "I, ahem, don't know how to get through here." He hops awkwardly from foot to foot. "Shove?"
The 4th isn't big around these parts.:)
Dakka returns the way he came. "Nothing interesting over there." He shrugs. "I suppose it's time to scout up the stair case. If I don't return... come get me!" Dakka ascends the stair case slowly and carefully. They are going to follow me, right?
"Good call Chombo. Select some fine word-colors for this one Urhan. It's an interesting creature. Here's hoping I do not become like the unfortunate subject of your song." Dakka will attempt to slink around the southern edge of the room toward the other exit staying clear of the pools and the lizard.
Dakka jumps back at the spark. "Interesting! I can now guess at the source of the scorch marks along the wall. If we want to proceed through here maybe we should toss some victuals off to one side to avoid be fried by our new friend here."
"Urhan I for one will never ask you to be quiet. Either out of appreciation or the recognition of the futility of it. Not sure which. Yes, Chombo I can be sneaky when I need to. Which is often. Perhaps most of the time." Dakka peers into the sodden room and spies the lizard.
"Hello little fellow." Dakka looks across the room. "He doesn't seem dangerous but I can't help but wonder what he might have to do with those scorch marks across the room. Hmm... I wonder what a lizard eats. Does anybody have a treat we could toss to our new friend here?"
Dakka will approach the door to the north and carefully inspect it.
XP wise I'm ok with whatever is easiest as well.
"Hmmm... Maybe there shiny things in the troglodyte hoard"
"Not that I can see, wretched stinky creatures." Dakka shrugs.
Dakka plucks his arrow out of the weapon rack.
Dakka circles around the room trying to get a shot on the remaining troglodyte while not passing too close.
I think using posted tactics is a fine idea as long as everyone agrees.
Dakka flutters in frustration and moves to get a line of attack.
The shifting morass of melee combat and the nausea gripping his insides makes it hard for Dakka to get a clean shot. "Bah! He exclaims in irritation."It's a good thing I have no pride!"
Dakka is ready to act but he can't find a shot. He flutters in frustration. "Very well then, go get them."
"They sound restless, they will soon investigate. Shall we try to ambush them in here?" Dakka asks in raspy whisper. "I wonder if they are sentries and will attempt to warn others?"
The queasy birdman tries to be as quiet as possible and meld into the shadows.
He pulls an arrow from his quiver and readies to fire as Aicard blunders forward, moving as needed to keep an open line of fire.
Dakka climbs up the rope as carefully as he can. When he gets to the top he does his best not to gag and remain silent.
Staggered by the stench Dakka tries to stop himself from retching. "It stinks so climb up here in a hurry he says, and what do I do? I climb up. Ugh!"
He will be remembered!
Dakka keeps a careful eye on the ascending human. "If you find anything untoward up there we'll just... um... well good luck!"
"Yes, dig then. I am quite content for you to do so." Dakka eyes the rubble. "I am frail compared to the rest of you. I will keep watch."
"Gold is gold. Bad luck is bad luck. One will come for sure, you have to make sure to acquire the other." Dakka looks around the room. "Yes go ahead and light your rod, you cannot protect me from dogs while blind. Shall we have a look over here." Dakka quietly approaches and investigates the room's only exit.
Dakka jumps a little as Scarlett growls but keeps his composure. As the flames die down he nods and says to nobody "Yes, fire solves so many problems. I suppose whatever spiders might have expired in the flames aren't likely to be the friendly sort."He shrugs. "Well never know." Dakka ventures further into the tower, peering around.
Dakka notices a small cocooned corpse. "Alas, Kita. Sad fate for a fearsome creature."
"Fire! Excellent. Never a mistake." Dakka bobs his head approvingly. "It sounds foolproof to me. I eagerly await the results." Dakke fixes his eyes on the spider expectantly.
Dakka makes a quick motion for everyone to stop and then breathes a quiet sigh of relief. "Relax friends, it's nothing so terrifying as a dog den. It's just a giant spider." He whispers. Dakka points the spider out. "Does anybody know anything about these creatures?"
Dakka shudders a little. "I am confused by your assertion that dogs are not sufficiently terrifying adversaries. Aicard and Chombo! If you ever find yourself in a tengu roost mention your heroic dog slaying this day! "Nevertheless if it makes you happier Urhan I am convinced that these are manticores. Perhaps this one over here is a chimera." Dakka investigates where his arrows went and manages to recover one. He peers speculatively towards the fortress. "Yes, lets go further then. If there are larger dogs, better to face them sooner." rolls:
