City of the Spider Queen - The Adventure

"Let us not forget the possibility of an ambush. Chance," Ionna smiles, "will you scout ahead?"

"I'll do my best. Follow along a bit behind me and I'll warn if I see danger in front of us." With that, Chance stealthily slips ahead to scout. He travels slowly, searching for any possible dangers and keeping an eye out for any company in the crypts.

Kemble shivers as Ionna speaks. Something about her voice always does that to him; it's uncomfortable.

As the others creep forward, Kemble brings up the rear of the party, keeping a watchful eye for any dangers from behind that might try to catch them by surprise.

[sblock]Spot +10, Listen +12, Move Silently (for what it's worth) +7 (+9, -2 armor check), Hide +9 (+11, -2 armor check)[/sblock]

Day 2 - In the crypts

You slowly moves down the hallway, stopping briefly at the locked door. Searching it for traps, Chance decide that it is probably safe. Pushing at the door to see if he might be able to open it, Chance suddenly falls to the floor. An intense surge of pain clutches at his heart for a moment, and when it passes he is left weak. You also get the nasty feeling that he was supposed to be dead by now, and that he survived only by luck...

Ionna and Kemble both recognize it as a necromancy spell, one that is used to slay living beings.

The door however, is stuck!

You continue down the hallway, soon coming to the stairs leading down. You head down and enters a hallway of worked stone that extends some twenty feet from the base of the stairs, then opens into what appears to be a natural cavern. Graves are hollowed out from the walls of this cave, and some jumbles of bone are visible within.

[sblock]Another search check failed, however you made the Fortitude check. The trap did 27 damage.[/sblock]

OOC: Who takes damage?

Kemble pokes through the bones, looking for anything interesting.

Day 2 - In the crypts.

Poking through the bones looking for something of interest, Kemble suddenly sneeze as a cloud of yellow spores, hitting him in the face. He seems quite unaffected by the spores, but you now see that more of the graves contain the yellow mold that spewed forth the spores. It is probably better to stay on the safe side and avoid the graves.

The party decided to continue through the cave, the path now leading westwards. A marble statue is the centre of the next large cavern. It depicts a gaunt, alien-looking creature with bulbous eyes, an insect's mandibles, and an elongated oval head. More graves are carved into the stone walls all around.

The path leads on westward on the other side of the cavern, about seventy feet from where you are now.

[sblock]Chance took the damage from the previous trap. Kemble made the both fortitude checks on this trap.[/sblock]

Donedal whispers up, "Hold up a second, I want to make sure this is stone and not some cleaver disguise."

OOC: Search +14 on the stone work. If needed ....+2 racial bonus on Appraise checks that are related to stone. +2 racial bonus on Craft checks that are related to stone.

Ionna looks searchingly at Chance, "Are you well enough to continue?" He is being very useful, it would be inconvenient to lose him.


Ionna stays well away from the statue, finding it unlikely that anyone could actually have placed the hideous thing there for decoration. "Golem, or petrified. Be cautious."

"Cautious, schmautious. Let's get on with it already!" Kemble sighs, tapping his foot impatiently. He looks at the statue hungrily.

Day 2 - In the crypts.

After a few moments closely examining the statue, Donedal is quite certain that it is only an ordinary statue.
