Vadania and Naull talk near the pit, as Alhandra and Nebin jog up. Perea paces back and forth, growling fiercely. The pit is quiet, and dark; close examination can detect wavering air over the pit, the result of Naull's flaming sphere which is still active in it.Let me know if anyone wants to look over the lip and see how badly off that armor is. Meanwhile, Jozan leaps for the spinning, tumbling mirror. Everything seems to slip into slow motion, and light from the sunrods and torches reflects crazily around the room as the mirror spins and falls... ..he extends out his hands to grab it.. and he manages to get the fingers of one hand wrapped around the mirror's edge as his body hits the ground HARD. Air shoots from his lungs, and a faint hairline crack travels up the mirror's surface, but it hasn't shattered. Actions, heroes?

Eberk's thoughts are drifting, too.Humph. Harumph. This is bad planning on someone's part, to have all the clerics in one room. Not that Jozan's got a lick of sense in that prettyboy head of his, but he's got more than Lidda does, at any rate. Hell. A toadstool has more sense than Lidda does. One of us should be off with the others, keeping them out of trouble. At least they've got some stable dwarvish heads with them. Hmmph. This damp air makes me phleghmy. Aherhreherhch! That's better. And this armor. Fine craftmanship, that. It's a shame to be smashing it up. Maybe we can have it repaired, once we drive out the evil demons and yadda yadda inside it. His eyes snap back into focus as the mirror sails up into the air. It's too far away for him to catch it, and anyway, what good's a mirror? To a dwarf, anyway. He's not the least bit surprised to see Jozan risk his life to save the mirror from breaking. "By the Gods, boy, can't you wait to preen yourself until after the battle?!" Eberk's hammer swings up again at the helmet, aiming for its chin. Eberk Surly Sermonizer [ October 04, 2001: Message edited by: Eberk ] --------------------

whispering Good eyes, Kazak. I could cast a web spell above us to net the rocks in place, but I don't think it would be strong enough. If that's coming down, my web spell isn't going to help much. We have some options. If we're going to send Krusk jumping off across the chasm, I can cast a spell to allow one more of you to jump with him... the best choice is probably Tordek. Lidda and I can make ranged and magical attacks from here- but we need to do something about that deadfall first. I suggest severing the rope. Lidda, I can cast a spell that would raise you to the rope, where you can cut it and hold it steady until the time is right to strike. You can continue to make attacks with your crossbow from on high. I can also make one of us invisible for a time. If that gives anyone a bright idea, speak up. Here's another thought- I can cast a spell that would make it seem to the creatures that the plank is in place across the chasm. We get their attention and they run across the illusory plank, falling into the void. We might get one or two of them that way, and it'll buy us some time while they realize they have to put the plank there after all.

Hennet runs and his mind wanders, lulled by the rhythym of squeaking buckles.Well at least the buckles have stopped pinching. But these shoes are a little much to run in. Note to self: consider more practical shoes the next time I go delving. Maybe something Doc Martenish...no, that's so last decade. I wonder what shoes Lidda is wearing--probably non-descript. Maybe Jozan's footwear could inspire me--well, no I'm sure it's flashy and bright and I don't need more metal to polish. I bet Kerwyn has good shoes; note to self, look at Kerwyn's shoes before going shoe shopping. People just don't realize the difficulty of balancing practicality with the fashion demands of a high-charisma look. Hmm, Vadania has stopped screaming, I hope that isn't bad. Does she walk around down here in sandals? Probably Birkenstocks from the way she carries on with Alhandra. Hennet continues to run. --------------------

[OOC: LOL! So many deep thoughts... ]Sucking air through white teeth, Jozan grins. Although he will vehemently deny it if pointed out later, he does take a moment to check out his dramatically heroic looks before rolling out of the way of the battle. Once he is sure he won’t be stepped on by anyone or hit by red hot chain, Jozan clambers to his feet. “By Pelor’s Blinding Flames, will you just grapple it, Regdar? Come on—you go high and let the dwarf go low. Ma’Var can kick it in the knee or something. We all pile on, I reaffix this mirror, and the whole thing is wrapped up nicely. You can pound on the armor all you want once it has stopped moving, if it means that much to you.”

Shooting Jozan a fierce look, Ma'varkith works her way into an ideal position from which to lash out again at the animated armor."How're we doing, Regdar? You think this thing'll be dead, soon?" she shouts over the din of battle, her eyes surrounded by runes as red as the end of their foe's weapon. I really shouldn't be here... I can't measure up to the "big leaguers" like Regdar. So I've got a few Bonus Feats and am proficient in all the same weapons and armor as he is. So I get to Specialize in a weapon in a few levels. I still get stuck with a Cleric's attack progression and hit dice... She glares at Jozan again, for good measure. I am so out of my depth, here, unless.. "Please let this work," she mutters under her breath as she thinks of the manacles hanging from her belt. *Manifests "Mind Thrust" in an attempt to stun the creature* [edit: fixed a few italics and bold tags] [ October 04, 2001: Message edited by: Ma'varkith ] --------------------

Kazak's thoughts are firmly fixed on the near future..."By Moradin's Smouldering Beard, I don't like the looks of this. I should have listned to me Da. Oh hells, was that something coming lose? Was skipping that arranged marrage such a good idea? Did we bring any picks with us? On second thoughts, maybe a rock fall is better than the troll lass. The hobgoblins have to have some way out don't they? Damn politics. Were's the halfling lass got to? Never should have go involved in that tavern brawl. Eh, what's Mialee sayin'?" Kazak drags his attention away from the roof and to Mialee. "The invisiblity could be useful. How well can ye climb Krusk lad? Do ye think you could climb up to yon rope? Or maybe Mialee could turn one of us invisible and float us up there." -------------------- Kazak Dwarven Psion

[OOC] Jozan, that was one of the funniest posts i've read in awhile! Huzzah!And Naull - that's from Mystery Men, right? That'd be hilarious to see you go off on an impersonation of The Bowler. [/OOC] "OK, everybody! Group hug time! Grab Naull by the legs and dangle her over the ledge to give her a good shot!  *snaps out of it* "Get back from the ledge, everyone! We aren't looking for a fight in here! We're down the muscle that's needed to best a nasty foe - if this room's guarded, than we've done our job - we've scouted this area." Alhandra continues to try to get back to the room where she started those few seconds ago - she almost appears to be running against the wind, as she's getting nowhere in her journey, like a sick bad bard mime-ing in battle.

Lidda! Regdar heard that!Regdar howls out and scowls at Jozan, charging the armored suit, using Regdars magically enhanced strength to grab the creature and start smashing it against the wall, grappling it, just losing it, but not as well as Krusk can. GOOD ENOUGH JOZAN!!!! ARGH GRRRRR DIE!!! -------------------- I'm not Iconic, I'm Ironic! Regdars House of Ale and Whores

Her ears burning, she turns to the Gnome staring at her butt and lets out a sigh, looking back to the rim.No I have not. But you might want to put your pants back on if you want to keep fighting evil. -------------------- Intelligence is a gift, I wish I could give you a real big box.

[i]Back!In addition to my whole damn computer being reconstructed by Dell, I have been finishing up a manuscript for publication and laying out the groundwork for starting my own industrial consulting company. I found when I was writing that if I started thinking iconics, I got totally sidetracked from finishing my adventure, and I just couldn't let that happen. But to reiterate: I love this game, I love you guys ~ especially with recent posts ~ and I'm having fun. As a reward, I'm getting Krusk a new thong. Anyways, I'll post the update today, but I wanted you to see this first. I was worried that after the 9/11 attack, people were losing interest and I was losing my ability to make this fun. I'll try to make sure that doesn't happen. [ October 09, 2001: Message edited by: Piratecat ] -------------------- - Piratecat, EN-Board President "A cat that good, you don't eat all at once."

Just make sure it's one of those comfortable ones that Regdar wears. Otherwise it's a can of north-of-the-border-barbarian whup-ass for you! Krusk continues to cover Lidda with his bow, careful to remain in the tunnel, out of sight of the goblinoids. "Krusk think we should cut rope and run like heck." --------------------
