The winding passage, reeking of rotting meat, slopes upward to the north.It is bisected by a 3'wide X 3'deep stream of the steaming black fluid. About 60' there is passage that heads to the left/west, or the passage continues northward.
Nesod: It is the same fluid(That is bolded) that is bisecting this portion of the passageway. As long as you have some sort of protection from the heat sure why not. Now would you like to reach down into the active geyser or get it from the stream?
*Opens haversack. Pulls out a rope and a bucket. Ties the rope to the backet and hands it Nesod.*
Here you go, use this to get your sample.
He looks at Nesod. "You hungry too? I will help you with the bucket so we can get the wonderful smelling black ichor in the pit."
A stream of drool begins to hang from his jowls.
"I can't wait to taste it can you?" He turns to Nesod for a response not at all thinking he could possibly want the black ichor for any other reason than food.
That doesn't look appatizing my orcish friend. Maybe one of my dragon ancestors can conjure food for you.
"But it smells great. Like Auntie Willa used to make letting pieces of Orc, elf and dwarf sit out in the hot sun for 3 days and get all and tender. The aroma well that is the smells of home."
"Not sure ... she was part Hill Giant. I think she may have been both Papa and Mama's side. She was a good cook I remember that."
Yes, I am getting a bit peckish too. Boiling, probably acid, sludge sounds lovely!
Acid? You think that stuff is acid?
"Acid? Oh acid while it tastes good always gives me heart burn."
Steel
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT DOES. SOMEBODY SHOULD THROW A FAMILIAR IN THERE OR SOMETHING.
WHAT!!! You would throw a cute defenseless animal into acid?
You cruel evil feldercarb!
HAHA. Did we just meet? Dude, that would be the least evil thing I've done all adventure.
Nasty dips his hand into the bucket before anyone can say anything to get a mouthful.
Self-experimentation, this shoud be interesting.
"Hey, no poisoning the Midgard Serpent, Nasty."
He gives Jenny a sheepish look.
"But it smelled so good."
What about your hand?
EWWW!!!!
What's happening to you?
I think it's an improvement.
I Hate
He reaches up on his head to see what is growing there.
"What happened to my head?"
Looking to his friend AM Healer. "Can you help me I think something is growing out of my head. Please?"
Probably because it does.
"Why do I have things on my head? Need to get them off. GET THEM OFF NOW !!!!!"
I wonder what Alissa would have said about this?
I wonder if I could grow horns.
"AM HEALER PLEASE GET RID OF THESE THINGS ON MY HEAD."
I see 2 possiblilites.
1) You will now be able to communicate with the creatures you have been eating.
2) Or, you are turning into the creatures you have been eating.
If the latter, I wonder if any of the ones you have eaten used to be orcs like yourself?
"I am what I eat? So maybe if I eat other things I will turn back?"
He starts to look around the room and then at party memebers.
Mumbling to himself. "Must not eat party members."
Go ahead and take another drink. Then I can kill you with no qualms.
...Although, now that I think about it, Alissa may get mad at me.
"Me need to eat something else really quick so I start to turn into that no more good smelling black stuff for me though."
You need an antidote. Regular, for you, food won't help.
"WHAT ANTIDOTE?"
"WHO HAS IT?"
You rang?
I vomit up a glob of slightly acidic, purplish ooze using the Craft Ooze feat.
"I dunno if this helps you, Nasty, but if you want it, bone appetite."
"Is this Antidote?" He quiets down when Jenny talks to him sheepishly looking at his feet?
"This make me better?"
Well, you made the right choice. My antidote was poison, too.
"No idea, really, Nasty. It's metafibrinous ooze. Yours if you want it."
Try it, you have nothing left to lose, except your life.
