From Citadel to Bastion: The Sunless Citadel

[Catulle]

As the intuition worked through his mind, pervading each sense that he extended in turn, Lucas marched forward towards the skeletal pair; though he remained wary of the risk of becoming surrounded they remained his first priority.

Noticing the skeletal nature of the beasts below, and doubting that her arrows could pierce the bark of the tree-beings, Khaira instead sang a single note - which sharpened, focused, and then dissapeared into a silent line of rippling air aimed at a skeleton from above.

OOC: Khaira casts a Sonic Bolt at a skeleton.

Khudaglun strikes the attacking sapling with his handaxes, scoring one hit (3 damage). Eshand sends a magic missle at it (3 damage), then Florian drops to the floor near his friend and finishes it off (7 damage). Quendros' arrow flies into the other sapling (5 damage).

Lucas steps towards the skeletons, but misses with his attack. Khaira's magic affects the undead, but does not destroy one (6 damage).

Khudaglun is hit by the other sapling (1 damage). This time the poison also has an effect (1 more damage). One of the skeletons hits Lucas with a clawed hand (2 damage).

Leaving the battle with the little tree in his companions' capable hands, Florian hustles over to assist Lucas in dispatching the skeletal figures.

Khudaglun growls in pain and anger, 'frickin trees, yer firewood when I'm finished with you". He continues hewing away with his axes whilst mumbling under his breath something about, 'we're underground.... no woods for miles.... and here I am fightin' trees... fricken trees... fricken elves.....".

Khudaglun destroys the other sapling with his axes. Florian and Lucas wrestle with the skeletons a moment longer, but are unable to get another hit. One of the skeletons claws Lucas deeply (6 damage).

When the dwarf joins them, the battle is over swiftly. Khudaglun cuts down one skeleton with his axes, while Lucas shatters the other with his battleaxe.

There are three exits from the room. You explore the opening to the north, and discover a small cavern. The floor is stained as if regularly drenched in blood. Luminescent fungus reveals the eastern niche, which holds a matted-hair-and-fur pallet, a wide wooden board on which a variety of crude but deadly weapons are affixed, and a greatcoat of patchy black fur hung on a slender pole. To the edge of the niche are two large nests made of fur and refuse. You find 35gp and 76sp in the nests, and several usable weapons on the board (two spears, six javelins, one longsword, one bastard sword). A hole in the north end of this chamber leads into the Underdark.

Returning to the chamber beneath the vines, you contemplate the two remaining choices: a door to the east and a door to the south.

Uzumaki, please update Florian to second level. Thanks!

 

[Uzumaki]

I did.

My apologies. I should have looked more closely. He is still listed a Male Human Fighter 1, but I see you highlighted the changes in orange.

When a quick look about the rest of the group indicated that he was likely the most battered, Lucas tapped into his inner reserves to keep his body operative for just a little while longer. The wounds knit together, stanching the bloodflow, if not sao much of the pain. Pain is temporary. "So; East or South? I'd prefer the first; better to explore the complex's outer limits before plunging into the heart."
