3rd Edition Classic Dungeon Crawl

[WhatKu]

Spotting the light, Faust lets out a string of curses.

"Oh wonderfull. If theres one thing ive learned, colored lights are normaly bad news. What should we do?"

 

[RChicken]

[tiptoe] light bright

OOC: Is the light a constant red, or does it flicker? If it's a constant it may have some connection to above us... if it flickers, torches, maybe.


Though the surroundings are not exactly pleasant, the idea of light is certainly not disagreeable to Tiptoe.


Tiptoe will move towards the light, keeping low to the ground and moving slowly in an attempt to see the source before it sees him. He'll also take a quick look at Gnash and Munch to see if they can see any better / smell anything odd...

never underestimate the nose


"cautious, cautious" he whispers, to remind both Faust and himself.

 

[Dagger75]

"Well I be sure what ever is holdin that light knows we are here."

[ooc- Does the light appear to be getting brighter like its getting closer?"]

 

[Mithreander]

While the group contimplates the light, it does seem to get closer, flickering as it moves, though only because the source is odviously moving.

As tiptoe moves forward, Gnash and Munch's fir starts to stand erect in a sign of iniment danger. They seem not to want to go forward, but then, they don't want to leave Tiptoe aloone, so follow reluctantly.

Ahead of the group they see three 2 foot long beetles. Their eyes seem to be shedding the light that the group sees. Upon closer observation, the beetles seem to be searching the area for something... probably food.

Edit: Many people double post.

 

[MeepoTheMighty]

A few even manage to triple post....

 

[MeepoTheMighty]

But all bow before me, for only I hold the secret to the elusive....

 

[MeepoTheMighty]

QUADRUPLE POST



Dagart moves back near the base of the stairs and loads his crossbow.

"Step back ere...we dun know if they see us yet. Might as well try to get the jump on em."

OOC: I'll ready an action to shoot at the beetles if they start to charge us. If only one charges, I'll shoot at the charging one. If more than one charges, I'll shoot at the closest.

 

[Mithreander]

OoC: Very nice... and here I thought my thread was just VERY popular!

Dagart starts to move back towards the stairs, while the others hesitate for not even a second before acting.

 

[RChicken]

Tiptoe bends down, running a hand over the rats in an attempt to soothe them somewhat.

"Leggers are tasty, made right. But we already have food..." shaking his head "But the light is from there..."
Tiptoe sighs softly.

If they're hungry, maybe they won't bother us.

"Munch and Gnash have some food, we could give it to them."


Their eyes are so red... probably poisonous, though that's never really stopped me before, Tiptoe thinks with a grin.

Tiptoe will edge in a bit closer, moving slowly and quietly to try to see what the beetles are searching for, or at least where they are looking...
Beetles like food from the trash, too... is all this trash for them?
He'll stay out of their red light and move to the side of the wall first so as to avoid casting a shadow from Faust's spell.
