Willowhaunt's City of the Spider Queen

[Willowhaunt]

None of the doors appears to be trapped or locked. They're old, stone affairs covered in sheets of dust thick enough to send anyone nearby into a fit of coughing if disturbed. However, other than being long undisturbed, there seems to be nothing out-of-the-ordinary about them. They should open easily if you try. Two of the doors are to the left of the entrance, one on the right, and one directly across from the entrance.


OOC- My apologies for being so slow with responses in the last couple of weeks. I'm done with school and most other responsibilities, so I should be able to get to that long promised post-per-day schedule. Thanks for sticking with the game this long. Don't worry, it gets good soon.

"Well then, nothing wrong here. Let's start on one side and then work our way around in a logical manner, shall we? Furthest left first, I think," Wimzig says with a sharp nod of his head, then has Aegis Ward open the door.

Evil Elves beware then! Chimes the bard as he readies to follow, dragon companion at his heel.

As he enters the room and looks around, Tadius feels a rustling. A weasel peeks his head out of Tadius' bag to see why the air has changed -- indeed, the proximity of the catacombs awoke the little weasel and he is now unsettled. "Quiet, Athos. Help me keep a look out and we'll be okay." Anthos wriggles his nose and looks at the others. "Those are friends. Wimzig, Janlan, Blix, Shakti, and Cowan. They'll help too. We're looking for Drow -- dark-skinned Elves. Just keep an eye out." Tadius pets Athos on the head and he sinks a little in the bag, getting comfortable.

Looking around everyone else, "Heh, sorry about that. You know how it is. That door looks great, Wim." Tadius braces himself for what may be on the other side of the door.

Two ornately carved stone coffins lie side by side against the wall across from the door. Dust lies thick on the floor, and the air is deathly still. You can see a few spots of fresh dirt disrupting the blanket of dust. Realization begins to dawn a moment later, as two emaciated, rotting creatures form out of thin air, slinking towars you as one of them speaks to you in a cold, slithering voice: “Thought to rob the dead, did you? That’s what we thought we’d do, too!” Both of them reach to sheathed weapons they carry at their sides…

"We do not seek to steal from the dead! We are seeking an entryway from the Underdark," Shakti says from amongst her companions. Although she believes these creatures have no recourse but attacking them, she does not wish to disturb the dead. Calling upon the truthful beauty within her, a glow suffuses her form and spreads outwards to form a circle of protection and blessing around her allies.

OOC: Activating Protective Aura, acts as a double strength Prot. from Evil and as a Lesser Globe of Invulnerability in a 20 ft. radius, use Bless as a spell-like ability.

ooc: should Initiative be happening now? How's rolling done again?

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Aegis, attack!" Wimzig commands, raising his own crossbow and firing a bolt at the undead. Undead sickened him, a perverted form of Gond's creation, and deserved nothing but destruction.

OOC - Aegis will advance and attack with his warhammer. Wimzig attacks with his heavy crossbow.

 

[deadestdai]

Jenlan is only a little startled by the appearance of the undead creatures. Stepping back behind his companions, the Gnome starts to murmur in Draconic and slowly turn on the spot with his hands weaving and intertwining above his head and though no visual effects can be seen, those knowledgable in such things know the bard had cast a spell upon himself. Once his intoning ceases, the bard looks sternly at the enemy and draws his bow. As he sights up an arrow, he starts a hearty song of bravery and triumph in the face of adversity to aid his companions in this fight.

**This round, move to the back of the group and cast Harmony on himself (+2 vs charm and fear/+1 att and dam to "Inspire Courage" bardsong ability.). Then in the next turn start up the Inspire courage song (+4 vs charm and fear/+3 att and dam to all in the group including self), draw bow and shoot an available target +15 att, 1d4+1+1d6"frost"+4 dam**

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bilix huffed at the undead creature's words in a typical "Dargonish" arrogant way. You'd think they could just ask us to leave politely instead of insulting us so that we have to remove their evil from this place? The little dragon hovers up to the ceiling and grips upsidedown to look at the creatures and let's fly with a blast of acid from his gullet.

**Fly to ceiling and grip with spiderclimb ability then shoot acid at available target ref DC14, 2d4 dam. If no target, then will hold attack action until one becomes available**

 

[Jdvn1]

Tadius fumbles around a bit, surprised by the creatures, and points at them. With a flash, two darts shoot at them. "Gah, take... that!"

Magic missle 4d4+1 at the closer one, 1d4+1 at the farther one
