[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 606520, member: 1210"] [b]What lurks in the privy??[/b] The [i]wall of fire[/i] eventually dies down, and the rest of the party troops in to where Alcar and Angel are searching the rubble-filled chamber. The two are bantering back and forth, Alcar waggling his finger at Angel from time to time while the fiery Coila-worshiper chortles about being ahead. Horbin shakes his head, but he'll take the Angel of Food on his side any day. The party's examination of the room turns up no treasure ("Curses," Lester exclaims- "Come on, there's gotta be some loot in here somewhere, let's go find it!"), but the group does note that at least some of the broken rock appears to be the remains of some statuary. It seems that some sort of semi-humanoid creatures with tusks were once glorified in here. Two halls lead out of the place, and as the group gives each exit a cursory examination, Horbin finds a door a little way down one of the halls. He alerts the rest of the group and they cluster around it. Alcar throws it open; it resists for a second and then swings open with a bang. The door leads to a small, 10'x10' square room. A hole with a crude wooden seat is in here, but nothing else of note. A faint stink of old offal wafts up from below. "Anyone wanna search down there?" Horbin asks. "There might be some treasure. Myself," he adds quietly, "I've done my time in sewage..."* "Well, hm," Lester mutters, "there might be something down there..." He rubs his chin, trying to think of a way to investigate without being covered in filth. Even with a quick wash, he's thinking that it's a nasty, stinky job. [i]Maybe I can talk everyone into drawing straws?[/i] he thinks. [i]But no, then I might have to go down there...[/i] Without warning the rough seat slams into splinters as a large, muscular tentacle crashes into it violently from below! A great voice bellows out, "YUNGO HUNGERS!!" The party is caught off guard as something strikes from within the privy! [i][b]Coming Soon:[/b][/i] Yungo the Otyugh Barbarian! Can he last more than a round or two against the party?? Can anything?? So far they've torn through just about everything they've encountered with no real trouble- when will things suddenly become much, much more dangerous? And where do we find the stairs to the next level, anyway?? Stay tuned, and remember- I promise frequent updates! *For Horbin's previous sewage-related adventures, see my OLD story hour- specifically, look on page 2, especially starting in the post titled "The best use of a shatter spell..."
