House Millithor in COSQ: part 4

[Endur]

Part 4 of House Millithor in the City of the Spider Queen

 

[Endur]

The Matron and the other observers realize that the pool of black tar is some kind of monster after watching it grab several bats.

 

[Serpenteye]

"I suspect weapons are useless against this creature. We will have to destroy it with spells. Do not approach it."

 

[Dalamar]

"We will then enter through the smaller holes, my spawn and I." Torellan positions himself next to the small hole he made for himself, then commands the bat swarms inside through the large opening, flying as high as possible to avoid the 'thing' on the floor. He gives them a few seconds so that the rebels inside will have their attention focused on them, then signals to his vampire companion to move through the hole reserved for it. He does the same himself.
Once inside, he will materialize over a group of the defenders, falling on them, hopefully knocking one out in the process.

Torellen does not see any defenders on the warehouse level other than a few shrieking fungi and the vast black pool of tar.

Some of the doors to the warehouses are open, others appear closed.

 

[Dalamar]

How close are the fungi to the tar?

 

[Endur]

Looking around, Torellen realizes that the original fungus that was shrieking at his vampiric children is now gone, totally smashed by the huge pool of tar that also smashed the vampires.

Ten feet beyond the pool of tar are a trio fungi that have now taken to shrieking (approximately thirty-five feet from the entrance).

How close are the fungi to the tar?

 

[Dalamar]

Torellan materializes some twenty feet behind the fungi and starts bombing them with his daggers, concentrating on one until it goes down, then moving to the next one.

 

[Serpenteye]

The Matron stands by, deigning to allow her associates to clean up the mess.

 

[Endur]

Torellen destroys a trio of fungi. One of the fungi actually moved forward and attacked Torellen, but did no damage to his vampiric body.
