as if awakening from a dream and shaking off the fog of inaction Hammurabi smells the eggs, "Bedu, I think this is your masterpiece, a truely fine work"

Hammurabi casts expiditious retreat then runs after Lotus
Hammurabi scruitinizes the statues from a far, unconciously rubbing his ribs, that were mended by the power of Liet and his God-Kings.
Liet, what do you make of that, my learned friend? Hammurabi gestures towards the opening flanked by the statues. "Bedu, can you add?"
"I uhhhh, I...made it down?" Hammurabi states in obvious pain fading in and out of conciousness...
Hammurabi's face goes white, time slows and he sees the cliff edge fall from his sight, a rope swings into view . He looks and sees the bright plumagae of a bird fly by--The Rainbow Serpant, does it herald his passing to another realm, or is it helping the Charlatan to stay on this plane of existance....Climb 13.
Hammurabi, wishes he had the wings of the Rainbow Serpent, looking down, he lets out an audible sigh, he crests the cliff's edge, using the rope provided and attempts to descend.
Hammurabi picks at the sticky strands that cling to him, "well thought out Warrior, that works well for me, plus I am too startled to fall asleep now!"
Venom! black ichor, spare my viens, my heart belongs to Almudin and the rainbow serpent, there is no room for impurities!
Hammurabi strains against the webs to both prevent being pulled into the spider's maw and to attempt to break free of the silkened strands. "Foul Arachnid, I was not put here to be spider food!"
Now that the spiders have begun to drop down, Hammurabi casts Mage Armour as a bright plumb of feathers surrounds his body
"I see them Liet, maybe the god kings have brought us dinner too, Skittle be warned Spiders move in the trees amidst you!
Hammurabi chuckles at Liet's remark, he nudges the Priest of the God Kings and whispers, "Its best you not mention the monkey goblins in front of Skittle there, it is rumored he had a romance with one and she broke his heart..."
Hammurabi, feels the heat, but as the day progresses his jungle legs start to get to him.
Could the God King that deals with serpents have anything to do with the Queen with the burning eyes? Hammurabi wonders a loud towards Liet
Hammurabi attempts to call upon the teachings of Amudin, he fails [ooc]to hit 4, to dmg 2[ooc]the concussive force strikes a branch and leaves spray to the jungle carpet
Hummurabi stomps the earth in front of him in a lunge, the dusty jungle floor rises, with outstretched palms towards the wyrm, Hammurabi yells, "Almudin" an invisible concussive force strikes the scales of the creature causing its shiny flanks to ripple like the water after a pebble has been cast into its depths. Initiative:16; Telekinetic Fist ranged touch attach: 21; Damage: 4.
After listening to his companions talk by the campfire, Hammurabi feels glad to have met them, as they all go to sleep or set up watch, Hammurabi pulls the yellow robes and habit from his pack and pledges, "I will wear these once more I promise" Hammurabi smiles as if remembering a long forgotton life, as he folds the garmet up and places it lovingly into his pack he sighs, "just not yet" as he closes his pack and uses it for a pillow on the welcomed jungle floor.
Hammurabi wipes the sweat from his brow, "Ah to be home again" he sighs as he swats the insects from his tender skin.
"I knew a safe path that the Charlatan's kept to escape into the jungle, we may be able to use it to get to where we need to go, Its called the Yellowed Path, named for the pilgramage we make once a year and the amount of yellow robes on the trail"
"these may be our way to gain re-entry back within these walls, I had a hovel out in the jungle, I would like to go back "At any rate we should start moving"
"No Bedu, he put a knife to the throat of an innocent, I could not risk blood shed on my stubborness, Tanish will get what is coming to him, the Rainbow Serpent will see to that!" Hammurabi gives Bedu an apologetic look, but he values freedom and life above all else, and the woman in the market did not deserve to be harassed "Come master barber, I belive the sanctity of the jungle will prove to be a rewarding break from the hustle and bustle of your shop"
Hammurabi sees the sight in the street and realises he has no other choice, he looks Tanish in the eyes and then turns around and walks back into the alley back to his companions to warn them they best be getting out of the city and soon. "I know the jungle well, I have hid there for years it is just sad, I must hide once again so soon"
"King Tyrant, grant me the aspect of your size and strength, resemble to me your intimidating stature" Moving to block the alley exit from Tanish Hammurabi menacingly looks down at the pathetic Tanish "Now little one, where were you running off to, I believe the Barber Bedu would like to give you a close shave, free of charge of course, lay down and quit your running and maybe you will live to see tommorow". Not sure if I can make an intimidate check to make him surrender
Hammurabi will cast expiditious retreat from his glaive and pusue Tanish "the rainbow serpent flies swift Bedu, I shall pursue"
Hearing Liet's plea Hammurabi's stomach churns, he is terrified of casting so close to a member of the sisterhood, he once fled his beloved home due to cowardice, but he has changed, he now has the coutal's guidance. He has friends in danger, real friends, people who have resucued him, and taken him in as one of their own, with a firm jaw, Hammurabi flourishes his glaive and forcefully palm stirkes the air in front of him, a wave of concussive force flies towards the hobgoblin closet him .
Hammurabi takes a 5 foot step away from the hobgoblins and picks up a large handful of sand or street dirt, he then spins around tossing the dust, to see if any settles on the invisible form of the sister, if she has advanced, he will also look for foot steps/listen for an invisible approach. "Serpent of the rainbow, let me sense the unseen"
Spinning his mighty halabard above his head in a wide arc, Hammurabi sends it crashing into the side of the foul undead occupying "e 6" "Foul beast of the Abyss mighty coutal will send you to rest" Hammurabi is fearful of casting a spell due to his unregistered status, not for what may become of him, but for putting his new commrades at risk....
Hammurabi eyes the positions of the enemies, and quickly realizes we are bunched up for the sister to to take full advantage of us, "Put some space between us friends, we need to harass that sister!.
5 foot to the side E 4 and atack the skeleton with reach at E 6 can someone roll for me as I am at work....(Uses a Glaive)
Hammurabi watches the sister with growing suscpision, his hatred towards her and her kind is barely contained, with the outwards stretching of her hand, his sucpisions increase, Is this witch casting
Hold action
Appraise +9
Appraise=25, Know: Arcana=16, spellcraft=26. Hammurabi inspects the exquisite brush,Wonderful, I have not seen such craftmanship, what do the rest of you make of this?, Bedu, Indo?
"Yes Bedu, we shall see if any of these new found trinkets are magical" Hamurabi gestures for the curtains to be drawn and the shop door to be locked before he starts his magical preparations
I do not feel that I earned this reward, but I will carry out a share for Bedu, he deserves it
not really asking anyone in particular, but Hammurabi muses aloud, " Who was Samir, was he an associate of yours..."
"By the rainbow serpent, this unatural thing needs to die!"
Once more Hammurabi thrusts King Tyrant's Claw at the shelled horror!
Hammurabi, startles at the red crustacean, he swings King Tyrant's claw in a wide arc attacking from the safety of range
Great Warrior I will follow you into the sewers
Hammurabi looks a bit sheepish, as realises months in the jungle have left him looking rather rough and worn, "Dear Bedu I am a mess, I stink of those snakemen and my hair is all too long and unkept. Could I beg of you to clean me up and make me look of man of this cosmopolitan city."
Seeing the party rest Hammurabi finally realses just how tired he truely is, bound and gagged by a cult...not the best way to start a day, he hope tommorow starts better....
"Even I know not to open a snakes gift without preparation, these foul cultists would soon see their mother poisoned, so I would defer to any who have the skills to bypass a trap if it indeed hold's the serpents venom....anyone?"
Hammurabi startles at Bedus hand, engrossed in the puzzle box, (looking over to Lotus) "Please dear can you grab me my pack". Back to Bedu "Like all tales dear Bedu this one has a short or long side to it, I am enjoying the meats, the water pipe and the company, so I shall share the long version" Taking the pack from Lotus and carefully setting the box down. "I am a holy man, who believes in choices and freedom, when that was taken away from me I decided to for go my calling and live as a hermit in the jungle, I have heard the call of a higher power that led me to the temple where you found me today good friends." Pulling out faded yellow cloth and habit from the bag. "You see I am a Charlatan of Almudin, and when the new Rani came into power, my passion for that died, I follow a power called the rainbow serpent, who guides me in my time of darkness." refolding the garmets and placing them carefully in his pack "the Rainbow serpent guided me to look in that temple for power to defeat the new Rani, and I shall, so if you are loyal to the Rani or her succubi, then arrest me now, but I place faith in my master, that you are the power that I was ment to find." Hammurabi looks each member square in the eye awaiting his judgement.
"Bedu, if I may" Hammurabi eagerly awaits a chance to look at the puzzle box. He studies it and casts read magic on it to see if any of the swirls has any magical meaning he then make an intelligence check to open it..
"Well Bedu i am a simple hermit of the jungle, I have a close connection with the spirits of the vines, I had a vision to seek out this temple so I did. I wonder, if the stars ment for me to meet your band of like minded individuals?" Hammurabi, looks a bit nervous, like he is hiding some information, he looks like he wants to tell, but keeps his guard up for now.
