I'm sorry, as I know you've had a ton of turnover; but I can't keep up with this site at all. RL has gone wacky and my priorities now lie elsewhere. I wish all of you the best of luck in the future and a Merry Xmas and happy New year, or whatever you may celebrate. Thanks for gaming!
Etgar slips into the room, hefting his spear as he goes. He levels it and attacks, aiming past Tally.
Etgar furrows his brow as he watches, then shakes his head. This place is really getting to me...well, shall we move on? He heads over to the door to the north and checks it for any potential traps.
Etgar can only agree. Indeed...this place is likely worse than the last one. Though...I don't see any tooth fairies, so there's that. He steps in, following Tally's example.
Etgar scratches his head about this place...
Etgar moves up behind Don, then snakes his spear past the big fella' to stab at one of the spiders.
Etgar seems happy enough to attack from the rear now, knowing he's a bit squishier than everyone else. He steps back and studies the one crawling on Tally, seeking the right point to attack.
Not sure what it is about 2E - maybe just all if it - but I greatly enjoy it.
Thanks, but I'm not looking for any more 1E content.
Etgar steps in, and studies the spider closest to Tally, then stabs out at it.
Scarlet spiders! Watch out for their....poison, damn. Etgar steps back, draws his spear out and decides to take a stab at one of these arachnids, to test their hardiness.
Fall back if you can, we can funnel them through the doorway!
Etgar jumps back in horror. Gah!
Etgar's eyes widen, and he furiously shakes his head. He looks at Tally with a bit of incredulity. Follow....that? No....nuh-uh. He wracks his brain, trying to remember if he's seen something like that before.
He'll then lower his spear at keep an eye on the door as Walhart and Tally look around.
And, I guess they won't be amenable to simply giving the 'ol stamp and letting us pass on, right? I mean, these seem like concerns that could stay here...we're not here to solve all the problems of the Boneyard. He shakes his head. So, where do we start? He addresses his allies, as he takes the offered scrolls from Berthol.
Etgar looks in confusion as the process ensues. Glad the lil bastard didn't ask me... He looks down at the contract, then back up at Berthol. Now hold on a second. We've given you something, now you give us something, that's how these things work. You've given us nothing but a headache since we came in here. He looks at Tally's hand. And a small puncture wound. Now, give us something, and we'll give you the contract. Let's start with....this place....what else dwells here?
Etgar looks at Don with a grin, then mocks a reproachful look. I'm sure you could Don, but maybe some finesse first. He breaks out his picks and sets to work unlocking the case.
Etgar narrows his eyes and walks over the case. He runs his fingers along the perimeter, looking for any traps and trying to see how it opens.
Etgar opens the right leaf of the double door and sends in a greetng. Hello? We're not here to fight...we just have some questions.
Etgar looks down at the doll. Well, that bodes well, doesn't it. He also steps past the little thing, and sets to look down at the door.
Etgar watches the conversation with disdain, shaking his head at the absurdity of their situation in this endless nightmare. Yeah, I'm in. Don't see where I have another choice, in any event. And, if we have anyone that can come back up from death, I'd vote Don. He's proven that he can hold the line when everything goes to hell around him.
Etgar searches his pockets. Oh! Right, here you are, old man. He stamps him like he owns the place.
Ah, well...you're in... Etgar shakes his head. Thank you Father; I guess it's just...you know, been a day. We've been walking this road and trying to get out of this awful place for what seems like forever. Why don't you come in...there's a fight I should try and help to finish anyhow. Etgar leads him inside...at least he hopes Walhart will follow.
Etgar looks up at the man, his face a look of horror. He shakes his head, blinking, then seems to recover a bit. He clears his throat. Um...yeah...that happens...I was just out here checking to make sure everything is safe. Uh...welcome to hell, old man. I'm Etgar...you lost too?
Etgar drops his spear, turns, and flees, screaming.
That works for me Igar!
I can't even use UMD on that scroll I don't think....I think with a nat 20 I'd still be 1 too low to make it work. Darn...
Etgar takes the key and raises an eyebrow in confusion. After dealing with imminent death and these creatures' odd callous natures for what seems like weeks, he is a bit taken aback by the offer. Um...well, thanks. He turns to the party and shakes his head. Well, I have little that can help...I have a shield of electricity that I can banish to affect an area, but it's far from ideal...since I'd have to be in the center of the swarm to gain full effect. Sure wish we had something that could burn well...I have lamp oil, but not an ideal bomb.
Can anyone use that fire shield scroll on the loot list? That sure seems like it may work
Hi Ralphrius, good to see you in here! Yeah, sorry; this move has me constantly trying to catch up.
Etgar does a face-palm. Right, the wasps....damn. I'm sorry Kichokish; we knew about the wasps, but had no good way to deal with them. Though I feel I've grown stronger through these trials, I still don't have a great way to deal with such creatures. He looks at Tally. There's a big nest of wasps in there...they had us fairly stymied before; have you any good way to deal with such creatures?
Well...we did max at first level, right? And, favored class gives 1/level
Well then....didn't know I could do that...
Etgar sighs, then looks to Don with a nod before heading downstairs to see what new madness awaits them.
Etgar is sad to see Niu and Agni leave, but slowly nods in understanding. He looks to Tally with a grim smile as the babble comes up from below. Well...welcome to "hell house." Shall we?
Good to go; HP suck...again, but I finally got studied combat and 2nd level extracts...so a big help.
Sorry guys; working a bit behind right now. I'll get Etgar updated as soon as I can.
Etgar watches the exchange with interest, but can only shake his head sadly at Agni's decision. He leaves her to it and introduces himself to Tally. Welcome to the ragtag group, Tally. And...sorry that you're stuck here with us...it's been a trial. I'm Etgar Nostrum...I'm the one usually hiding behind Don here and trying to stab things that he stoically faces off against.
Etgar holds the staff poised with the point aimed at Kishokish, as if he has to keep the stance or he will be de-summoned.
Yeah! Etgar revels in the success, until he looks back up at the Sakhil and realizes that only a little of their situation had changed. He looks down at the staff in his hands, puts both hands on it, and swings!
Aha!
Etgar looks at the glove in confusion. Damnit...you're supposed to be helping! He shakes it for good measure, utters under his breath. Gotta' work eventually...wonder if his palms get sweaty. He grabs again!
Yup, not sure Etgar was the best choice for this;). Still, a 3 is a 3, so maybe it's just my dice
Etgar will try once again to grab the staff.
Link sent; I have another guy who may be interested if you want a 5th, but totally understood if not.
Etgar looks down at the glove and drops his spear to the ground. Seeing the creature now caught in the webbing, he moves in and used the gloved hand to snatch away the staff.
I have a player who is interested, I can personally recommend him highly: miteke is his username. Let me know if you'd like me to send him a link or anything
