Round 0

Dren huffed as the vulture riders flew off. “Bunch o’ chicken ‘awks,” he said. He turned to give Ordrar the traditional dwarven sign of congratulations, a fist bump, and looked at the bag. “Empty it oot. See wot’s inside, mebbe.”

"Wary of swarms or poisonous critters. Slowly advancing and when we're all here, I'll upend it. For now, I'm just trying to get a sense of what it does. I don't like the teeth on the thing."

OOC: Sorry, I got interrupted in the middle of the post

 

[seriousmoonlight]

OOC: Does everyone head back outside after seeing the riders leave?

Fistan, Wizard 4

With the excitement over, Fistan returns to studying the giants spell books. "Let Rillix know if I am needed."

Aremus comes back outside and says "They seemed terribly cowardly. To think, they gave you a magical bag and didn't even achieve what they came for."

He shrugs. Cultists.

 

[Neurotic]

Aremus comes back outside and says "They seemed terribly cowardly. To think, they gave you a magical bag and didn't even achieve what they came for."
He shrugs. Cultists.

"Maybe they did? The bag may contain poison for the giant. Spying device. It can be divination focus for easier tracking...plenty of stuff that would make taking this dangerous." Ordrar seems a bit paranoid. But then again, this came from highly suspect source, so maybe it's worth investigating.


Short time later (after he finished the analysis / short rest):
"Team! I'm ready to open the bag! Come down and prepare for trouble?"
[MENTION=6873732]seriousmoonlight[/MENTION], what are the properties of the bag? When the wizard awakens, I'll ask for identify.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Tranio watches the proceedings dubiously. He does not share Ordrar's suspicions, but is nearby in case help is needed.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Aremus buys into the theory that the bag is dangerous. He's incredibly wary, and ready for it to be anything from a bomb, to an army of giants hiding inside the bag.

 

[seriousmoonlight]

Ordrar cautiously turns over the bag, but nothing pours out except for the piece of string that was placed in before. Everything is normal - at first.

Without warning, the dwarf is launched back thirty feet. The landing would have been painful if not for the soft cloudstuff all around. It becomes evident to everyone present that there was something in the bag, but it can not be seen so easily.

Invisible Creature

OOC: Until the creature can be viewed, normal attacks are rolled at a disadvantage.

 

[Charwoman Gene]

Bethany gets to the door to see Ordrar get thrown back.
