D&D 5E CB's Stonefast IC -- COMPLETE

"Crack in the floor?" Fulgrim examined the ground closely and spotted the crack Father Spec mentioned. Looking to his companions, he said, "Now that is interesting..." The dwarf mage is clearly interested in the mystery behind the hive of bees.

Fulgrim places his cheek over the crack where the bees disappeared. The crack is miniscule; certainly, had there been no bees buzzing about, the crack would be nigh invisible to the naked eye. The masonry adjoining the flagstones where the crack is seems old and crumbly. The crack looks to be the natural by-product of time, more than the purposeful effort of a creature or an object. Curious, Fulgrim places a hand over the crack, trying to feel for a breeze. Nothing. The air is still.

The bee on Father Spec's shoulder flits away, back to its hive.

OOC: [sblock=Intelligence (Nature) DC 10]These are regular honey bees; they don't appear to be special "dungeon" bees, or a specialized or unique species. Their nest under the table is sizeable and active, however. There appear to be a sufficient number of bees such that the hive could dish out some damage if it were to go on the rampage. The bees appear to have no means of ingress or egress to this room other than the crack in the floor. Perhaps the crack leads somewhere underground, a space yet to be discovered? Or perhaps the crack simply leads outside Stonefast? Regardless, judging by the increased pitch in the bees' droning buzz, and the lone drone bee that landed on Spec and then returned to its colony, you want to be either leaving the room very soon or eradicating the hive.[/sblock]

Guran squeezes closer to the doorway to make sure he's seeing what he thinks he's seeing. "Those look like regular honeybees to me," he says. "You might move out of that room quickly so we can close the door behind you," he adds to the human inside.

The dwarf then withdraws 5 feet south, out of line of sight of the doorway while muttering quietly, "He is the beeman, You are the beemen, I am the Wallflower."

 

[Forged Fury]

Disappointed in his entomological failings, Fulgrim gave the beehive one last look. Regular honeybees? Hmmm... but what are they using for pollination? Some mysterious flora? Imagine the mead that could be created from that honey?!? Thinking through the potential beverage breakthroughs in the room, the dwarf mage silently followed Guran out of the room.
