Erdolliel finishes casting her spell, and a swarm of spiders appears and quickly surrounds the invisible snake-like creature. The elf then darts through the other passage to the north. Seeing the creature outlined by the spiders covering it, Kushnak steps forward and hacks into the creature...

In hindsight, I see why Ti was confused. When I said the term "next" was meant to mean THIS turn right now. (It is sort of like how I get mad when people use the phrase "next weekend" when I think they mean "this weekend.") So... sorry about that. That was my fault, not Ti's. That was why...

Technically, I believe the swarm appears right before your next turn. See here. I have not (at least yet) found anything to indicate precisely when the summoned creature acts, but I think it makes sense for it to act immediately (putting it in initiative order right before Erdolliel, and...

While Erdolliel begins casting a spell, Kushnak forces his way between the rock wall to get closer to the possible action. From the same spot it was before, Erdolliel and Kushnak hear the snake-like creature hiss in the words of magic, and the elf is able to make out the words of a spell of...

Kushnak quickly moves between Erdolliel and whatever it is that she was ready to attack. The half-orc sees the same snake-like creature. As it did before, the creature casts a familiar spell and suddenly winks out of sight. The trial is over. So maybe life will get more back to normal...

Erdolliel grabs for her spell pouch to pull out a piece of squid tentacle to use in her spell. Both Kushnak and the snake-like creature, however, see the elf's furtive movements and react even faster. Sorry guys. It's going to be like this for a couple of weeks. Damn murder trial. So...

As Erdolliel sneaks back toward the pool, she sees the snakelike creature apparently rested near the pool. As the elf gets close, however, the creature suddenly stirs and looks directly at the elf. The only reasonable conclusion is that it has either pinpointed the elf with incredible hearing...

The five, in turn, relate their backgrounds. The two human men have been here the longest. Based on the date the were taken, since they have no way to be sure of how long they've been here, Erdolliel figures out that they were captured 19 days ago. They are two merchants, working together...

The five apparent-captives all comply with Erdolliel's lead, and soon they are all standing lined up in the main room. Looking closer at the five shows that all of them seem malnourished and gaunt. None of them appear to have anything on their person but their disheveled clothing. One of the...

The quintet is quite startled, and one of the women lets out a yelp. "Gods," the elf gasps. "That's not a drow accent. Please, help us! We've been trapped here for days, or maybe weeks. Every few days that squid-faced thing takes one of us, and that person never comes back." Erdolliel...

After a moment of complete silence, Erdolliel hears the elf quietly whisper, "I know I heard something..." "Well... uhh...," one of the men whispers back, "if they are coming to get one of us... uhh... I'll go." One of the young women begins to quietly sob.

I've already posted once in this sequence without waiting to see if o3 has a response. So, I'm going to wait. But in the meantime, do I need to explain (or re-explain) how the "ready" action does not in any way exist outside of combat? Or do you guys want me to simply assume that when you...

As Erdolliel unlocks the door and moves into the room, through the passages to the east, she sees five figures huddled on the floor. They clearly don't see the elf, but Erdolliel can see their eyes peering in her direction, as they probably heard her and Kushnak speaking. With a closer look...

Kushnak's "shrug" sends out a, somewhat weak, surge of divine power. Apparently, however, even that was enough to completely unravel the negative energy animating the zombies. Their bodies burst as positive energy consumes them. Turn check 5-; turn damage 12... They are all destroyed.

Cool. So, now you guys are at this door... Do you need me to more specifically point it out on the map? It is the door at the south end of the room that is basically in the middle of the map.

Hope you are ready for one of my infamous ramblings... Regarding death and XP... ISSUE #1 I combed over the entire OOC thread and chat discussions I had with both of you. I simply don't know what we decided last time (which was, sadly, again a death for Nethezar. [As an aside, after...

The duo begins making their way out, stopping to "collect" Nethezar's remains. The vulture-like creature stares from the doorway of the museum until the duo is out of sight. Aside from the scholar's body and the unknown green liquid in the vat, a thorough search of the room suggests that it is...

The air fills with a pregnant pause. The creature's eyes shift between the doll and the duo as it appears to consider the request. The creature suddenly lets out a sound like a cross between a bird screech and a snort. "Agreed," the creature mentally shouts. The creature looks at the doll...

"Well met, mortal," the creature replies telepathically. The creature "voice" still seems harsh, and the duo has a hard time determining what emotions, if any, are belied by the creature's "tone." "You have freed me from my bondage, and for that, I will allow you to live." The creature...

Sorry, I was unclear again. When Erdolliel tossed the cloth over the preserved dragon head, it was the large statute of a vulture-headed humanoid with large feathery wings and razor sharp talons at the end of avian digits that came to life. And it is, technically, large. I found a picture.
