No hurry. Enjoying the game. Wish I had a computer to give away. Mine's 8 years old just hoping it'll keep working.

No problem. Thanks for the game so far. Good luck with getting a new comp.
Yanev will smile "Sir Balin, right?"
I'll be away for the next few days until Monday and BTW I'm enjoying this but suggest we recruit a couple more players after this section.
Yanev will try to grap the key and get door open before the undead reaches them.
[b["Oh dear, I guess not. They are slow, might still have a chance if we move quickly."[/b] Yanev says moving quickly towards the far door at tries to open it.
The doctor will lead the group in a wide circle around the mushrooms. When he reaches the far door he'll pull out the crystal again before opening the door and leading everyone through it. Once on the other side if there is nothing pressing he'll push the door shut and put he crystal away.
Yanev indicates towards the sign "This might be where the light sensitive things area. We should enter in darkness. My eyes are use to dark so grip my should if you can't see. The dark crystal should block out the light from the door way as we enter." Yanev says. He waits for everyone to get ready then pulls out the crystal and opens the door. Once inside if there are no immediate problems he'll shut the door again and put the crystal away.
"We should have plenty of time, however you are right no point in doing nothing. Are there any doors we haven't tried? I don't fancy the stairs are the right way." The Doctor askes.
We take a while searching the room carefully during which time Yanev will lose the glow which was his shield and shrink back to normal size. Yanev will search the room in the opposite direction from Johann and meet him somewhere on the other side of the room, his search when taking 20 is 30.
"I would suspect so, maybe the whole room is trapped. It may be a fake we haven't encountered the undead or the light sensitive creatures that the squire talked about. Check every step. Could one of you summon an earth elemental to look under the ground and in the ways for traps?"
"From the sounds of it we'll have some undead soon, I personally have no problem with you blasting them. The snake is likely more expensive and more useful than most undead."
Once Johann has bound the creature he'll take a moment to get out is manacles (masterwork) and lock and see if there is anything he can do with them to secure the snake more securely. In addition he'll rip some fabric in a long strip off his tunic to wrap up it's mouth and face. he bends and scoops up the remains of the other snake and hands them to squire "Carry these, and be careful not to drop them. They are evidence of what we had to face down here." he says kind but firm voice.
Yanev will try to pin the snake to allow the others to restrain it more permanently.
Grumbling the doctor takes a step back and pulls a flask from his belt and drinks it. He grows in size to fill the space he stepped out of.
"Get something to tie thing up with." He says in deep bass voice. Reaching out with his now huge hands he tries to grab the snake again.
Yanev drops his spear and pulls out his morning star and brings it down on the head of the damaged creature.
"Once we have dealt with the first one leave the second and I'll try to capture it." Yanev says.
Hate that, at times I have taken to writing everything in Word and copying across. That way I can just copy it again if the website eats my post.
Yanev allows the pony to close then movies to within 10 ft of the nearest cobra and thrusts at it with his spear.
Yanev nods to Johann [b]"I'll give you a 10 second count done, on zero I'll open the door and you summon through it. 10. 9..." At zero he flings to door open.
"Not sure we'll have a choice. Unless you have a way for keeping them back." Yanev says getting out a few potions and drinking them. temporary Hp (for 4 hours or until used up)
Then drawing his spear he leads to the next door.
The doctor nods "Smart, look out for your own survival first. However we have been paid well to search this whole place and I don't break my word. So you say there are metal snakes in the next room, who was talking of this? Can we assume to have to fight them too? Do you know anything else that we might face?"
"Yes, the local constabulary sent us. But more importantly are you alright? Can you walk?" The doctor asks.
Interesting, the Cardinal must have put him here to help us in some way. Given the Torturer rack it probably is information. We can always torture him if the friendly approach doesn't work but the other order is more challenging. Yanev smiles and turns to the others "We've found him." turning back to the man "We have been sent to rescue you. Are you alright?"
The doctor waits for a moment for the mist to react before following Johann. Upon reading the new message he chuckles "I couldn't agree more. Tiadora might not agree however."
"I suspect it is hostile now. Tibbers or another summoned creature seem like wise options. Alternatively if anyone has lantern oil we could pour it down the holes and burn it out." Yanev offers
"No idea, but I think Annie removed the need to talk." Yanev yells as he runs back to the corridor and away from the holes in the ground.
NP let us know when you are back.
"If required yes, but I don't want to waste such a useful tool for future deception if it can be avoided."
"There is some kind of mist in the floor, send the elemental in maybe it'll freeze the mist or something. I'll have a go at fixing the darkness." Yanev removes and empties his belt pouch while he waits for the elemental to attract the attention on the mist thing. If it does he'll run in and put the let pouch over the obsidian an scoop it and run back outside, if the element doesn't attract the mist's attention he'll wait outside the room.
Can Yanev see anything with his 30ft dark vision?
Yanev opens the revealed and pushes forward quickly.
"Excellent, now deal with the main growth. We should move fairly quickly, if there is something aggressive in the next room that elemental may serve two purposes"
"No!" Yanev yells then lowering his voice "Sorry Annie, this thing reacts badly to warmth. Johann is trying something dangerous so we'll let him concentrate."
"Excellent, this might be very useful." The doctor says chipping bits off the new growth and putting them into pottery jars from the portable lab kit. He then securing them away before turning to Johann and says. "If you would like to summon your cold elemental, I suggest you get to approach what is left of my experiment first as in case it reacts badly to cold as well."
"Thats cold enough to burn. Seems to me there are two options. One: it needs to be cold to live and applying fire to it will kill it. Two: it needs heat, which it sucks in from around it, to live and applying fire will make it bigger. I suspect option two since the Cardinal was kind enough to give us that cold crystal. Give me a moment I'll try an experiment." The doctor says. Pulling out his long spear he attempts to dislodge a small piece of the mold. Once it is on the ground he drags it away from the main body using the spear. Having isolated it in a corner of the room he pulls out and pours a little oil on it and lights it standing well back.
Yanev approaches the mold arm out in front of him. If it gets so cold that it will do permanent damage or if the mold moves he'll pull back again.
I have no problems acting without the knowledge just hoping to get some response. However in general I have no problem sensible other knowledge skills be used at a small penalty.
The doctor uncorks one of his potion before continuing. "Sounds logical to me. Do you think it's telling me that I shouldn't fear the mold, or am I being overly literal?." Yanev asks as he goes to the lantern and has a closer look.
Yanev pulls out the jewel and has a closer look at it. . Handing to Johann he says "Apparently this is useful but damned if I know what it is." leaving the other looking at the jewel he'll make his way across to the other false wall careful to avoid the pit trap and look for a way to open that one too.
The doctor takes the front "Not many are good with traps, practicing is often fatal. But being a good physician is as much about have a good eye for detail as anything else. Step where I step, either it will be safe or you'll get a warning when I scream." Walking towards the door on the left careful check each step before taking the next. When/if he reaches the wall he'll look for a way to open it, failing that he'll smash it.
Just letting everyone know that I will be insanely busy at work for the next week and a half. I will post when I can or when work gets too frustrating.
The doctor will go prepare some extracts and then get his armour and weapons.
"I'm sure we can complete this test." Bowing he turns to the others "I will be a few minutes collecting and preparing equipment for this test shall we meet in 30 minutes at the stairs?"
Given our power up I don't feel the need for more people yet. Although it is easier to add people now rather than later.
Yanex takes a sip. "Very nice, I haven't tasted tea like this before. What is made from?"
I'm away at a convention this weekend (long weekend here), be back Monday.
"I'm a doctor by training, so I'll try to keep you alive. However my studies into immortality have let to some surprising side effects which should allow me to break the slightly smaller heads that squirm away from our bigger friend."
Yanev smiles "Almost certainly. If the cardinal could condition people without making them stupid he would have had us conditioned already. Unless he has and we are too stupid to know." |
