[LPF] The Forbidden Isle of Ancient Secrets

"Yeh, is the sure," the barbarian replies distractedly, sizing up the still-twitching lizard corpse. He wipes a little hunger-drool from his mouth with the back of his hand. "This is not the thing you Eastern peoples is call the dragons, yes? I hear story that eat the fresh dragon's heart is for good health, but I am always prefer the livers, for myselfs."

He plunges his dagger into the lizard's belly. A thought occurs to him, and he pauses, elbow-deep in lizard guts. "Heya, if this is father snake, it will have two ulili. Is you want them cuts off for you, Elder Storyteller? Then you cans make dry them and grinding into powder, which is much helpful magic for make the strong bonk."

Kalinn manages to duck around the falling rocks and into the building. Two spiral stone stairwells rise at either end of the building. Neither of them wide enough to allow the beast passage. A large mushroom patch grows upon a pile of "fertilizer" and seems to be the supplementary food for the beast when it cannot find meat. It does look as though it had found meat rather recently, as three dead bodies were dragged into one corner. Only one has any meat left on the bone.

On the other side of the room, lots of grass and vines have been drug in to make a nest for the creature. In the nest is a large tusk, that looks like it may have been a chew toy. Despite the gnawing, it looks in good shape. Too good.

Daylily's carving and gutting reveal the beast's last victim was a fishman. The head and torso are still in its belly digesting. The fishman has a fancy necklace that seems to be repelling the acids of the stomach. Daylily does confirm this is a father snake and proceeds to begin harvesting his trophy.

Relic's examination of the building seems to indicate that the buildings here were "grown" from shale stone, but this one seems to have gone haywire. It should have stopped after it had its form, but the magic that created it and maintains it seems to have been warped and damage. It may be time itself that has caused the magic to faulter.

"Oyeh, Elder Storyteller, there is be trinket in heres," Daylily says, tossing the partially digested skum at Relic's feet with a splatter of noisome juices. He shrugs and turns back to the lizard corpse, where he harvests a generous slice of liver and begins wolfing it down with a broad smile on his face. "Ahhhh ... the ball of worm was not bads, but the fresh liver is always the most goodest. And there is much for all everyones."

Kalinn keeps half an ear on her friends' easy banter as she moves farther into the lizard's lair. Winterbite fairly leaps into her hand as she moves to the nest; she prods it carefully with the long blade before investigating more closely.

[sblock=Actions]Prod the nest thoroughly before investigating. If nothing stirs, search the nest. Once that's done, she'll move on to the bodies on the other side.

Take 20 on Perception checks to search for a total of 29.[/sblock]

The careful prodding and poking of the nest doesn't seem to disturb anything. The building itself grumbles as another sliver of stone slides off the outside. The only interesting thing in the nest is the "tusk". Upon closer examination, it appears to be a well fashioned drinking horn.

[sblock=sex]A lone male means that you just had the one critter to deal with. A lone female eventually winds up with "spontaneously" fertilized eggs. That would lead to the island being overrun with lizards by now.[/sblock]

Sighing in relief that there is nothing else in the nest with which she'll have to deal, Kalinn moves her search to the bodies and the rest of the room.

[sblock=Actions]Move on to the bodies on the other side.

Before Kalinn gets a chance to check the other end of the room where the bodies and mushrooms are, Aradra notices something moving in the vines behind the party.

Aradra gets a surprise round action, then the creatures are up

OOC: Meant to have Kalinn pick up the horn as well - can we call that done?

"We got company guys! Don't use fire or lightning on them; It will be useless!"

Taking a bead on the one, Aradra lines up a shot at the closest one, and lets loose an arrow. He then takes a careful step backwards, waiting for them to advance.

Relic spins about on his heels at Aradra's call, the amulet that Daylily had tossed at his feet in his hands. He can't even see where the ranger is but he is becoming more used to guiding himself with his sense of hearing. He shuffles back away from the collapsing tower but not before bellowing "Kalinn! We need you out here!"

When Aradra comes into view, bow in hand, Relic calls to him for clarification "What sort of company? Fish or Lizard?"

And then under his breath he whispers "Whatever it is, Wind bless us."
