"Can one of you check the liquor cabinet for a key while I see if I pop this open myself. Gotta practice you know." Kevan says as he cracks his knuckles and pulls out his tools.
Assuming that did it... When he hears the click, Kevan smiles. "That is a beautiful sound." he says as he opens locked drawer.
"Ooo, a puzzle." Kevan says and moves to the desk to look it over. As he starts looking the desk over he starts to share, "Did I ever tell you guys about the time I had to solve an Emerald Empire puzzle box. Boy, was that exciting and in the end there was just a piece of hard candy in it."
”Good point, these fellas may have all sorts of cool stuff on them. Obviously, I’m going to check them for weapons but you never know when one of them may have pocketed a gem or two.” Kevan says in response to Rabbit and hurries over to Berik to pat him down and rifle through his pockets.
"And we can't forget the lady we saved. Perhaps someone with magic or healing skill can keep her from dying and becoming one of them. I'll bet he had her targeted specifically because she was causing him trouble." Kevan says thinking about the loose ends they needed to tie up.
Once Kevan can move he gets up and moves around as if he hurts or is trying to limber up. "I think we need to put him in stocks till we hold the trial. So kids can throw stuff at him."
Excellent, thank you. Missed the link the first time and when I went looking for them.
”You were likely a very bad guy in life. That’s why you’ve been cursed like this.” Kevan says analyzing the thing while trying to kill it, ”So, I’m going to give you the chance to be reborn as something else. Maybe a cockroach.”
I see where Tal the dragon loaned us the boots and the bluring movement but no description of what the ability actually is nor how many times it can be used. What are they called? Are they just striding and springing with a unique look, it almost seems like a short teleport. How many times can they be used?
Kevan runs over to attack the ghoul near Jaxom. Spitting bile and wishing the smell of the ghast would go away he takes a position over Jaxom’s paralyzed form. ”Prepare to return to worm food!”
"Tymos, 'brrpp' help Jaxom!" Kevan calls out as he sees his friend topple to the ground. If Tymos goes to assist Jaxom... Kevan steps to flank the monstrosity impaled on the spear and tries to run it through again.
"Stinky thing," Kevan says and spits bile on it.
I had forgotten to add Alden's healing from earlier so I applies that and then subtracted the damage from the dueling sword.
Kevan doesn't bother fighting it, he's found it's always easier to let fly and keep going than to fight the nausea. He upchucks on the ghoul/ghast in front of him and then tries to run the thing through. "Ugghh, take that, mmmrrrrpppp, you!" He sputters.
Kevan steps past Eochaidh drawing forth an alchemist fire as he does so and chucks it at the ghoul near the corner.
"I'm surprised he didn't stink like the others. Obviously he's hiding his face beneath that mask but you others stink to high heaven. And have you two ever thought about another employer? I mean, he stayed up here and had all of these luxuries, you guys had," Kevan gestures at them, "Well, that." He has his little rapier in hand as he speaks. "What exactly were you hoping to accomplish Barik? Your creatures didn't even stand a chance. Between these two and the others it was a foregone conclusion. Now, Jaxom's going to rip your arms off and make you eat them. And I'm going to enjoy watching."
Kevan looks down at the group and mouths "I knew he was a monster under that mask."
If Kevan... Kevan slowly lifts the trapdoor just enough that he can see the room beyond it. if Jaxom... Kevan looks at Jaxom and says just loud enough for him, "Slow and quiet."
Kevan follows Jaxom up the ladder. He figures the fighter is wily enough to stop at the top and listen but just in case he puts a hand on the man's ankle when they get to the top. He puts his finger to his lips to motion for silence and just listens for a moment.
If it seems clear, he gives Jaxom a thumbs up.
"Ooo, use me as bait. Good call. I'll try to lure them out. I am delicious after all." Kevan says as Jaxom pushes past. He follows on Jaxom's heels. He can see in the dark but the light is ok.
”Let’s go get him.” Kevan says and hustles across the room.
"Wow, this is pretty fun. I may have to embellish this story. Little easy right now." Kevan says as he wings a bullet from his sling. "Tymos, my good man. You've got to get that giant grape of yours out of the way when a halfling is trying to hurl a sling bullet. Oh well. I'll work around it. But you do have a pretty big head. Eochaidh, don't you think he's got an unusually large head?"
"You stink of the grave and your momma dresses you funny!" Kevan shouts as he lets fly with an alchemist fire at the northern most ghoul. (range 30' -4 to hit)
Kevan hands the cloak to Rabbit, "Here buddy, study that thing up. As to fighting here, I don't mind cause we're going to win. You can't be such a drooping daisy. But, I like the idea of leaving the lady here. Gets her out of our hair so we can go do the manly stuff. I guess we'll let Rabbit tell us what this cloak does and then go deal with the ghouls. Did I ever tell you guys about the time me and a warlord by the name of Kang the Merciless went into a den of vampires? I was just his squire of course, carrying holy symbols, his back up weapon and a bunch of turnips. I hate turnips but apparently so do vampires. Anyway,..." Kevan continues until Rabbit has made a pronouncement of what the cloak is or until someone says it is time to go.
"Well, if this isn't magical I'll be a monkey's uncle. Speaking of that, I met a monkey's uncle once. We had just rowed ashore to get additional provisions... Actually, hold that thought. I can fill you guys in later and we can check on what type of magic that cloak has. What do you think? Defend from here or move up on them?" Kevan asks trying to stay focused on mission.
Kevan moves forward quietly and watches out for enemies or other surprises.
I was a little unclear on the exact path I had traced. It looks like it was south and then east, true?
"Alright then, let's move along and see what treasures these beasts have." Kevan says as he starts to walk back the way he had come.
Kevan notes the location and though curiosity tugs at him greatly, he decides to head back and notify the others. Returning to the group he steps out of the shadows and shares, "I found a group of them a good distance down that way. I couldn't see them but I heard voices. There's a concealed door down that way also. I thought we could pop that thing open and possibly use it as a hide in case their numbers turn out to be too great. That or a single doorway for defense vice standing out in the middle like this. Anyone care to follow me? And, what are we doing about her? If you've healed her, we could just let her lie. Pick her up on the way out."
"While you work on her, I'll scout these two side tunnels. I won't go too far but try to get an idea of where to go." Kevan says as he begins walking toward the tunnel on the right.
"Hey, she's alive and she's been bitten. Can one of you healer types help her out?" Kevan says to the others just loud enough to be heard.
"I'm goin' in boys, watch my back." With that, Kevan closes the distance with the body.
If he reaches the body and gets no reaction he stretches out his foot and nudges the body with his toe, "Hey, you alive?"
Kevan pocketed the bag trying to be surreptitious about it but was paying too much attention to the environment around him to make a good attempt at it. Then he proceeded on. At the end of the tunnel he called out in a soft voice to those behind him, "Hey, spotted someone. They're down, not moving, but don't look particularly ghoulish from here." He then waits for them to close the distance. DM:
"I think we should go this way," Kevan says walking down to the first intersection and pointing east. He also glances that way to ensure nothing is coming.
”Everybody ready? I can go see if I can find some more.” Kevan asks wuite energized despite the recent harrowing experience.
"Wow," Kevan says as the healing power flows into him. "That was amazing. maybe even better than iron skin. Thank you."
"Yeah, those things have a nasty scratch, I tell ya." Kevan says looking over his own clothes. "Can you believe what they did to my shirt? I'm never going to get the bloodstains out either. I need to develop iron skin or something. Do you think that's possible?"
"Firebomb inbound!" Kevan yells and tosses an alchemist's fire onto the ghoul in the middle.
From behind the crypt Kevan springs up. "I knew that pinky toe was moving. Did you guys save any for me?" He asks as he hurries around the crypt and sidles past Eochaidh to stand behind Jaxom. "Wow, they smell even worse when they are burning." He says as he pulls a flask from his bandolier.
'Was that my pinky toe? I think my pinky toe moved. I'm almost there guys. Little bit more and I'll be ready to assist.'
Such an exciting adventure and here I lay just watching. I definitely need to get more involved if this ever wears off. Will this wear off? Am I paralyzed forever? Surely not. I mean I'm fated to entertain the world with my stories. Surely this isn't how my exceptional life ends.
'This is because he didn't like what I had to say. But, he does stink. It's not my fault. Some people just don't know how to take constructive criticism.' Kevan thinks as he struggles to regain control of his limbs.
[ooc]Forgot to roll it, going around to avoid the +5. Just double move to setup flank for others.[/dice]
Kevan tumbles around to the right to avoid the angry ghouls and attempts to get behind them. "Do you fellas remember when you were alive and you'd get somethin' nasty on your boot and they wouldn't let you come in. Yeah, you smell like that." The halfling says as he moves.
Kevan prepares to stab the first ghoul that gets near him in the kidney.
it was supposed to have been a readied action. My apologies for not being more clear about that.
