[QUOTE="megamania, post: 5739608, member: 9255"] THE WAYFINDERS OF THE FLOATING TOWER “ANGRY WATER” SEGMENT 019 11/19/11 BARRAKAS 26, 998 Morning The spiral stairs go down several hundred feet. At the bottom the masonry looks different but no one is really sure. Filo, whom studies man-made structures, is mildly curious if it is indeed MAN – made or GOBLIN-made. He is aware that the deepest levels of Undersharn’s are in fact Goblin ruins from as far back as several 1000 years ago. “Do you hear that?” asks Blaze as he takes to the air with his short dragon like wings. He flies ahead of the others without much thought or caution. He reaches a large room with six large pipes that are spewing out large amounts of water of various conditions of quality. The pool they fill is boiling and foaming from the mixture. A walkway goes around the pool and exits on the far side. Fearing traps, he instead flies over the pool. The ceiling is roughly 20ft above the pool. Not enough. As he reaches the half-way point the water suddenly surges straight up and slams him into the ceiling. Stunned, he lightly bounces on the water funnel that has angry facial features on it. It easily reaches the ceiling. “Elder….?” Begins Filo in awe, fear and dismay. He didn’t expect this much resistance and trouble here. He had figured the group to be poorly skilled and inept for the task. Instead he is seeing how challenging the sewers have been. Jasyne fires into the water. The effects are not what he was hoping for. Worse- Lia’s shorts seem to merely add a projectile to the already dangerous water creature. Blood mage, The Magus begins to fire Fireball spells into the creature. Steam fills the air. Jasyne looks back at him. “It’s okay. He is immune to fire.” Filo adds his own fire spells now. In a rage, the water elemental strikes at them. It uses the Shaman as a club harming both the Shaman and whomever it strikes. He attempts to call up his Fire Elemental but loses his spear. Luckily, it clatters onto the walk but not near the group. “As an elemental, it is very resistant to damage. As big as it is, I’m sure it is more resistant than most to harm. But it’s going to kill the dragon man otherwise.” Calls out Filo. Jasyne grunts and fires several more arrows at it. Acid, Cold, Electrical, Fire, and raw vibrations strike the elemental with each successful strike from the Kensai Archer. It just swings the now limp body of the Shaman again. Jasyne takes a serious blow this time and begins to back away into the safety of the hallway. Filo steps up to take a blow meant for Jasyne. This sacrifice allows Jasyne and magus to both strike again. Lia gets out her lumpy goblin brewed healing potions. She knows someone will need them. After five fireballs and many magical attacks the water elemental finally just gives in to gravity like a giant waterfall. They fish out the Shaman even as the downed Cleric / Mage is given a potion (-9!). The shaman sputters as a potion is given to him (3hp remain) and even Jasyne takes a potion (25 of 60+ remains). “Continue on?” asks Lia, the only one to not take any damage. They all consider chaining her to the bottom of the water pool. [/QUOTE]
