As somebody who got hooked on OotS in its early days, I've been missing the old-school humour. Not that I don't like the new style, but I do get nostalgic. Needless to say, I was quite delighted to see a running gag from way back revived after a long dormancy. A running gag which would cease to...

Sir Nurlan, in the bright purple cloak, looks up to greet the newcomer warmly. "Welcome to the party, Herr Pendrake. A falling star.. quite an event, I missed it, but what can it portend? In Genton the oracles claim a star falling to earth foretells a noble dynasty falling from grace. What...

Ngikhnit shrugs. Boots are boots. Cloaks are cloaks. Perfectly useful, but what's the big deal? Unless... the sudden change in size. Must be magic. And if these items are magic, what other magical properties do they have? "I'll have to find someone who can figure out what's so special about...

Ngikhnit looks puzzlingly at the prizes he is offered. First the boots: they seem practical, even though he cannot imagine how comfortably they would fit him, even on Kilran's assurances that "they'll stretch". He is still looking strangely at them when the apprentice further confounds him by...

What makes you think Z is a player character? I always figured the Linear Guild, being the adversaries, are NPCs.

Ngikhnit also goes along with the others, his former enchantment with the location having been broken.

Ngikhnit looks around again. "Maybe this isn't such a special place after all."

Ngikhnit meets the procession when it enters Spelding Square. "Magic, of course. Who needs to examine an aura to know that? The foul critter kept disappearing and reappearing. And splitting itself into two foul critters when attacked with a blade."

Ngikhnit just shakes his head. "Why would you want to leave this place?" He is clearly not going anywhere.

"That ugly creature is no more. Whatever it was, this lovely square is no longer disturbed by its foulness," Ngikhnit comments. "Let us stay here, now that such a peaceful and beautiful spot is here for us."

Ngikhnit tries harder to see where the thing might have gone, to [OOC: just my guess...] no success (6). He strains to use his ears for a similar purpose, but probably manages no better with them (8).

The door is still locked, right? Hearing the sounds of combat beyond the door Ngikhnit realizes it is even more important to bust the thing open, but makes a scarcely better job of it (10).

Ngikhnit wouldn't know if anyone was close to opening it from the other side. The barbarian shouts "Get it open!!" as he throws himself at the door, although not with his best effort (9).

Ngikhnit Hearing the crossbow noise, Ngikhnit calls out "What's happening out there?" He bounds toward the door, intending to try to open it, by force if necessary (although if it is locked from the inside he'll do it the easy way).

Realizing that he lost track of the critter yet again, Ngikhnit focuses his attention on figuring out where it went. Listen=??; Spot=18. I mistyped the code for the listen check, so let's try that again: 9.

I remember that slashing weapons turned them into amoebas, and the bludgeoning worked, but didn't recall ever learning if piercing worked on them. But Ngikhnit has had less time to forget than I, so... Seeing the creature scurrying down the pole, Ngikhnit swings his heavy flail up into the...

"Right up on the post!" The half-giant had been planning to tear the net apart, but on spying the tentacle he realizes there are more pressing things to be done. DM: It's not clear from your post how high up he sees the creature. If it's within is reach he'll move up next to it and attack where...

Ngikhnit's armour makes it difficult to fall safely; fortunately, his physical training proves to be adequate (just barely) to the task. He lands on a pile of cloth unhurt (well, no more hurt than he was before his fall).

He's just going to try an run across. If he ends up falling through a new hole before he gets there, so be it -- he's not optimistic about making it.

Ngikhnit follows Pendrake and Quozen, hoping he can at least make it to the already-created hole, but realizing if the roof can't support Pendrake's weight it wouldn't stand a chance under his own feet. How he proceeds down the hole (jump? shimmy?) will depend on what he sees when he gets to...
