”The lid has been moved recently. Best to check inside,” Ssz’irac said, gesturing to the sarcophogus.

Zuleyka glanced over at the coffin and nodded. She looked back to see Ssz’irac fumbling with the lock on the chest and rolled her eyes. Incompetent males! What were they good for? Her silver eyes ran over Ssz’irac’s posterior. Okay, there was one thing they were good for…

Lolth! It really had been too long!

Remarkably, Ssz’irac got the chest open. There was a pop of magic and three bat-like creatures with sharp proboscises fluttered out. One stabbed Ssz’irac in the arm and held on, while the other two went for the ceiling.

“Lolth damn it!” Zuleyka cried out as Ssz’irac went down. “Now what is that?” Such strange creatures they had on the surface!

It didn’t matter what it was. Fire killed most things. Zuleyka extended her hand toward the two on the ceiling, shooting out a sheet of flames as she wiggled her fingers.

Bilkar Gnome Druid

Bilkar sees the creatures fly about, the Drow male falling to the ground with this giant mosquito attached to it and at first starts to summon fire... Then decides it's best to not take a chance of cooking the Drow and angering the female.

He instead turns his staff upside down and gets a running start before swinging low trying to knock the creature off. The surprise is obvious on his face when the creatures head pops like a blood filled sack leaving it's straw-like mouth in the Drow, no only attached to it's now lifeless body by what is left of it's crushed head.

Wide eyed at first and then puffing up his chest, with a quick nod "Bilkar did that"

OOC: Channeling his inner Happy Gilmore. Attack Stirge: 1D20+2 = [16]+2 = 18 Damage Stirge: 1D6 = [2] = 2

 

[EarlyBird]

OOC: Combat is over, (nice work), need a death save from Ssz'irac, and then people can start trying to save him.

“Get up, ye dolt,” Al said to the drow laying on the ground. “‘‘Tis only a bug.”

His words compelled the drow to open his eyes and push on.

OOC: Al hadn’t gone to yet. Using a spell Slot to cast Healing Word on the drow. I don’t believe I’ve used them, yet. Heals for [roll0]

Zuleyka watched the crispy fried bloodsuckers fall to the stone floor with a crunch. She took a step toward Ssz’irac, but the dwarf seemed to have it under control.

“Good job, mole man,” the drow told Bilkar before she turned toward the curtained alcove with the partially open sarcophagus. With her sword drawn and one hand crackling with lightning, she carefully approached to peer inside.

OOC: The death save was mainly to see if he would roll a 20 and thus get up on his own, but Al's way worked much better.

The room with the great stone sarcophagus looks like it hasn't been used in a while. The lid is slightly askew but not cracked enough to see inside. It would take Zuleyka and someone else to move the heavy stone, to reveal what is inside.

Bilkar Gnome Druid

Beaming with pride Bilkar watches Al come up, talk to the unconscious Drow who then starts to stir before hearing the words...

“Good job, mole man,”

He first looks confused, then looks back to Al and his face turns to one of understanding as he nods, as he realizes that Zuleyka is thanking the Dwarf, and she obviously understands that both Dwarves and moles spend time underground.

"If you tell Skeleton 'Get up ye dolt' will it rise and answer where spell of remembering is or dead to long?" Bilkar asks as he turns and watches the female Drow examine the sarcophagus. Fully expecting something horrible to jump out when she opens it.

 

[tglassy]

Al smirks. “Dead at all and it don’t work. Me voice has always had a way of gettin people to do what I want, but they have to be alive.”

Feeling embarrassed at passing out after a mosquito bite - albeit a very large mosquito - Ssz'irac gets to his feet, nodding his thanks to the dwarf and avoiding the gaze of Zuleyka.

One could say a lot of things about dwarves, but they got your back when they've accepted you as an ally, the drow thinks to himself. That's a lot more than can be said about drow, even so-called reformed ones.

Cautiously Ssz'irac checks the chest to see if nothing else was inside, then moves to the curtain where the drow female is studying the sarcophagus. For the moment, Ssz'irac lets the others lead as he himself hangs back, his rapier and dagger at the ready.

OOC: Besides the annoying bugs, did the chest contain anything else?
