[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6759939, member: 11146"] The earthen hand moved on a diagonal to R44. Its clay fingers moved in tandem--the clay of the hand juxtaposed darkly against the dimly lit room, each digit moving as sequential visual image--[url=http://www.coyotecode.net/roll/lookup.php?rollid=103006]grasping and crushing the life out of the orb,[/url] dealing [color=red]9 points of damage.[/color] One of the orb's eyestalks went limp, and a guttural stuttering groan escaped the orb's toothy maw. All the way back down the far end of the hall where he stood, Fulgrim felt the creature press insistently at the edges of his mind. The words being streamed his way were spoken in Deep Speech, Fulgrim thought, but the images were plain enough: a drow priestess whipping a comely red-haired female dwarf inside a cell of natural rock; an Ilithid in tattered robes with a long row of fabric-covered buttons sitting at a wooden table, bent over a book written in the Common tongue; a grove of phosphorescent mushrooms, their light brilliant in an otherwise dank cavern; and, finally, a city steeped in twilight with myriad towers perched on a high ledge overlooking a vast dark lake. Fulgrim's view of the latter widened--yielding a panorama of twinkling lights and drow walking narrow byways--then went hazy as the earthen hand squeezed the last of the life out of the orb. [sblock=Telepathy]At work, so without the benefit of the MM description of Telepathy, but the Interwebz tells me that this is the description of the Telepathy ability from the 5e MM: "Telepathy is a magical ability that allows a monster to communicate mentally with another creature within a specified range [120']. The contacted creature doesn't need to share a language with the monster to communicate in this way with it, but it must be able to understand at least one language. A creature without telepathy can receive and respond to telepathic messages but can't initiate or terminate a telepathic conversation." The message was directed in words first, then in images, all at Fulgrim, [MENTION=95059]Forged Fury[/MENTION].[/sblock] [ooc]Next up is Guran, [MENTION=61026]tuxgeo[/MENTION]. I'll do a map update tonight when I'm home. For now, you can ignore X/D, X/S, and the spider. Only Orc3 and Orc4 are still alive (their locations on the last map are still valid).
