(Adventure) Heroes of The Vesper Peaks (Uriel judging)

"Damn!" Jagos lets out, as he turns to stop Kreepto from attracting any more trouble. If he can catch up to the kobold, he will take a hold of his arm, demanding "Quiet! Someone will hear you. Wait here, he won't get past us."

OOC: Intimidate +6 might be appropriate. Sense Motive +6 to value his response.

(This will be my last update for 9 days or so, as I'm heading home for vacation. I may find time to get on the boards and throw some comments in anyway, so Please feel free to post away.)

Those that are paying particular attention to the man find themselves more than surprised when Grog rips into the shoulder-meats of the man with extreme force. Grog severs the shoulder completely (nat 20, 6 damage), and maggots come spewing out of the monsters detached arm.

The rotting stench of the body must have been held in by the flesh, and now that it has been opened up, the room fills with the smell of maggot-ridden meats left for days.

Jagos runs after Kreepto, catching up fairly well due to the kobold's short stature. Once he catches him, he takes hold of his arm and commands the kobold, who obediently follows. He holds his nose well before coming back to the room where the maggot ridden corpse is, obviously able to smell the stuff from down-wind. "This... this is no good. The guard was right, this place is very bad for Kreepto. There were many more workers besides Kreepto... not good..."
 


"We can't go back now. Let's continue." Jagos starts walking towards the other end of the room again.

edit: oops, the ghoul is dead, right? Post all changed.

Marl coughs in disgust and replies to Vanadan's comment:

"You're not kidding. A minute ago the man was moving, and now it looks like he's been dead for a week! What's going on here?"

Despite his comments, Marl will go over and look at the body, prodding bits of it with one of his swords and muttering to himself.

As the group approaches the end of this corridor, there are three different paths. Left, Right, and continuing forwards. The slope of the path going to the right is fairly steep, around 25 degrees. The path to the left is inclined somewhat downwards. Kreepto explains, "The left is where Kreepto would go for water. There was a pool there, though the miners told Kreepto that it was dangerous. Kreepto drank from the pool anyway, it was dirty, but Kreepto doesn't mind. Not much else that way though, they were trying to dig a vent tunnel, but the foreman made them quit. Kreepto thinks a vent would have been a good idea, the rock is very warm and there isn't much air up above. If Kreepto keeps going straight from here, there is the storage area for the other mining carts. That's where Kreepto would load the rock so that Kreepto could push it down and out of the caves."

"The gasses and the noises come from the tunnel to the right. The tunnel that leads up into the mountain is the dangerous one..."
 

The stupid kobold will probably get us killed. The only thing keeping me from ending his miserable existence is that he is our only hope finding the white wizard who has the ghoul powder.

"Kreepto, lead us to the white wizard," Vanadan says with a soft voice like talking to a child. "Have you been there?" he continues and points the tunnel leading right. "Have you seen the white wizard in any of these tunnels?" the elf asks very slowly.
 


"Bet he'll be by the source of the gasses, probably is the cause of them too."

"Maybe we should prepare some cloths to cover our faces if we'll be walking straight into them?"
