Wildwood Red in Tooth and Claw II [IC]

[Voadam]

There is another bubble from the pool as the muddy dover and the mud covered warzoder decide who will proceed next.

 

[chakken98]

"Ennar I will proceed first if you approve."

 

[Voidrazor]

NR4ZN bows its 'head' to Thelso, "Of course my lord."

 

[Voadam]

Thelso begins to walk around the edge of the pit along the narrow ledge as the Warzoder defers to his proceeding first. He makes it part way around when his already muddy paws slip on a slick spot taking him over the edge. The dover's hands shoot out reflexively as he tumbles over the side. They slide along the ledge digging up small gouges then manage to grab and clamp onto the edge, halting his downward plummet as he crashes into the wall. His spear falls down though and bounces into the water disturbing the algae. Thelso remains hanging from the edge of the ledge on the muddy wall trying to catch his breath.

More bubbles float up in a progression towards the spear.

 

[Pyrex]

Seeing Thelso slide off the ledge, Weylan begins working his way back onto the ledge to help him up and across.

 

[Shayuri]

Seeing the bubbles, Inamar points. "Uhh...that looks kind of bad... Guys...something's..."

She realizes Weylan and Thelso are in no position to help, and so does the only thing she can think of. Whispering a mantra under her breath, she concentrates on the spear...

(Trying to use Mage Hand not to LIFT the spear, but just move it so it's not in the water anymore...the spear weighs 6lbs, so I dunno if that just means MH can't lift it up, or can't affect it at all...but that's what I aim to find out )

 

[Voadam]

Weylan makes his way slowly and carefully along the ledge, proceeding with such caution he makes it over near to the dover with no problems.

Inamar begins to chant and reaches out with mystic force to the dropped spear, attempting to lift it out of the water before the bubbles get to it. However it is too far and too heavy for her magic and the spell fails. There is a slight hissing sound as the spear starts to sink lower into the water.

 

[Voidrazor]

NR4ZN prepares to slide down the slope if something reaches out of the pool. But it freezes at the hissing sound from the dropped spear. "Caution! I suspect the pool may be highly acidic."

 

[Voadam]

A gray psuedopod breaks the algae crust near the spear, extends up and snakes around the shaft. There is a slight hiss as it contacts the wood of the spear's haft, but it quickly drags the weapon under the water's surface.

 

[Shayuri]

Inamar covers her mouth, horrified.

"Gods! Did you see that? There's something IN there! and it's...got...arms like an octopus kind of!"
