Deepwater's Despair

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Fluke murmurs back to the others about the strange slimey patches. He pauses and searches the place carefully, and discovers something. The dip in the passage has something under it. It seems to be a fragile pottery container hidden under the dirt, probably filled with something unpleasent. A creature the weight of a kobold would probably be able to cross over it with no difficulties, but anything heavier than that would release what's inside. As Fluke examines it, figuring out how to get it out without breaking it, a pair of hideous creatures dart out of the slimey patches at Fluke. One snatches a mouthful of flesh from the halfling's back before both retract back into the wall at blinding speed.*

"What the -- ?"

*Torug curses quietly, as he was not one of the first ones to go into the tunnel, and is now stuck near the back of the group. His morningstar is already unslung, and he looks around the back to make sure nothing is ambushing them from that direction.*

 

[Manzanita]

Sargon

"Hey! Step back, Fluke! Those things look dangerous."

*Sargon, avoiding getting too close, draws back his glaive and jams his glaive into the 'hole' where the creature emerged.*

 

[Erekose13]

"Bloody hell, that hurt!" says Fluke a little too loudly. He draws his sword ready to slice one of those ugly critters if they try to bite him again. Then thinking better with Sargon's warning he steps back from the hole.

*Fluke dives underneath Sargon's legs, the tunnel being so cramped he really can't get to the side. The hideous creatures remain in the walls for now, as no tasty treat is in front of them. Sargon jams his glaive at an unnatural angle, the butt nearly catching Torus's skull as he tries to stab sideways into the left hole. Sticking it in, he hears a fail squeal, but nothing else. Drawing back the glaive, he sees something sticky and green on the tip. Torug sees nothing coming behind them which is a relief.*

Fluke retreats, creatures stay hidden. Sargon may have hit something, and Torug watches for ambush.

 

[Manzanita]

Sargon, liking the distant strike strategy he's using, tries it again, this time jambing his glaive into the other hole.

 

[ender_wiggin]

*Torug stays the hell out of the large man's way, unless he gets a clear opening at a hostile.*

 

[dead_radish]

*Tyralis grins a bit.* "Targets, eh?" *He draws back his bow, ready to place an arrow in either of the cretaures if they re-emerge.*

OOC: Readied action to attack the first one that he sees.

 

[Erekose13]

*Fluke will remain where he managed to tumble to, with his rapier out he is ready to attack if anything pops its head out again. He holds his wound absentmindedly with his other hand.*

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Tyralis draws his bow, trying to see around Sargon. The creatures do not bother to re-emerge from their lairs. Sargon pokes his glaive into the opposite hole, just missing Tyralis' head. There's a faint squeal and a squishing sound, and Sargon sees fresh slime on his glaive when he withdraws it. Fluke kneels nearly underneath Sargon, as there is nowhere else to stand and strike at the creatures, but nothing further happens. Torug waits.... and the creatures still do not come out.*
