    IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part V(b)

    Kushnak carves into one drow, dropping it, and slashes at the other. Feeling nearly overcome with the poisonous spores from her earlier exposure, Erdolliel quickly flees. Seeing her plight, Nethezar stops his oration, runs to the elf's side, and mutters a quick prayer to regenerate her. The...

    Kushnak: attacks 1, 3+ hit, 14 damage, drops; step; attack 3, 17+ hit, 15 damage Erdolliel: second poison save 1!, 11 CON damage I forgot about the second save. So... Erd took 6 CON the first time, then got 4 lesser restored and the extended bear's endurance effectively gives her 4, then lost...

    With the fire out, Kushnak moves back to the ledge, drops the drow (who puts up no struggle to being released), and then hacks into him. The draw screams as Kushnak's sword nearly takes his arm off. Erdolliel swings at the drow near her, but between misplaced aim and the shadowy illumination...

    Kushnak hoists the drow into the air and carries him over the edge of the shelf. Erdolliel cuts into the drow near her, but only connects with one of the blows. Nethezar begins orating an inspirational message about stalwart resolve, and the trio feels that resolve reverberate within...

    Kushnak flies up to the closest drow and grabs onto it. While the drow manages to hold off the half-orc for a moment, Kushnak quickly overpowers it. Erdolliel flies up to another drow. She tries to stab the drow, but her aim is off. Nethezar utters a prayer giving the trio the edge over...

    "I'll... wait here," Nethezar pouts. Kushnak and Erdolliel take flight and get closer to the alcove. Erdolliel sees three drow, crossbows in one hand and flasks in the other, crouched against the walls waiting to attack. The trio's reflexes give them the edge. So, initiative. EVERYONE...

    "I love the smell of cooked elf..." Nethezar mumbles as he quickly backs away. Erdolliel tosses a flask at the wet substance. The alchemist fire explodes, and quickly the entire wet area erupts into flames, first quite high, but they immediately die down a bit, to a "simmer." It would...

    Erdolliel looks more closely at the liquid on the floor and gives it a good sniff. While the elf feels confident that the substance is not magical, she's not sure what mundane liquid it might be. It is certainly not merely water, and Erdolliel thinks it smells a bit like lantern oil. It isn't...

    Erdolliel slowly moves ahead, with the other following behind. The cavern narrows to a small tunnel. Erdolliel catches a flicker of Nethezar's light reflect off of something on the floor of the tunnel. She pauses and sees that the floor appears to be covered with some liquid. Looking around...

    "These will help," Nethezar offers, casting first one spell, then another. lesser restoration restores 4 of the lost CON; guidance will give Erd +1 on the next save. Yes, poison does usually require a second save, and I think it is fair enough to let you guys think of that possibility.

    The elf quickly scrambles back and blasts the room with a burst of magical fire. The shrieking from the toadstools dies out and they become puddles of dead plant matter, and even the yellow fungus burns away. "I don't suppose it is just random chance that the entrance to the illithid's lair...

    Erdolliel cautiously makes her way across the yellow fungus, avoiding any of the toadstools. Kushnak and Nethezar follow, staying out of the yellow fungus. However, once Erdolliel's about halfway in, some of the yellow fungus abruptly explodes, spraying spores that cover the elf's face and get...

    With Nethezar's "everburning morningstar" providing light, the trio systematically explores the sewers, mapping their way while looking for "beggar's gold." After about an hour, Erdolliel spots a passage with a mark on the wall; it is the same mark as the mark that was on the fake-Allustan...

    It would actually be a survival check to look for the fungus. Though there are some bonuses due to the particular circumstances here. 'S'okay?

    Erdolliel slips away and begins to explore. Nethezar nods in response to Kushnak. "While I am, of course, not actually an engineer, I'd guess that these tunnels were likely built over time, like the city itself. So there may not be a complete pattern, but they certainly won't be erratic. The...

    Erdolliel quickly scouts the nearby area. Unfortunately, it seems that all of the sewer grates are right in the middle of the roadway, with no openings to be found in alleys and such. After the elf comes back, Nethezar offers critiques as she uses the hair clip to change her appearance to a...

    According to his profile, o3 hasn't even seen your previous post, let alone my post, and you follow up. But... I guess I'm gonna post anyway, since it is just Neth offering a suggestion. And really, "suggestion" does not mean "you should do this." It's just a suggestion. Nethezar scratches...

    The trio enters and finds the Cold Forge to be a fairly busy smithy. The front area of the shop is a large open area with wares on display, ranging from swords and axes to plate armors. Some appear solid and sturdy, while others look more like ornamentation than functional weaponry. A few...

    The trio decides to risk a scroll mishap, and Erdolliel tries to use the scroll again. Fortunately, the spell is a success, and the elf feels powerful magical protection settle around her thoughts. The trio then makes way to the area of the Cold Forge. The district is quite busy with people...

    I'm back from the funeral-ness. My other uncle died. I'm getting myself unpacked, and I have a meeting tonight, so I'm just short-posting now. Erd gets a 15+ on her second try, so it works. Unless one of you says something, I'm going to assume that you're going to the Cold Forge area. I'll...
