City of the Spider Queen

[perrinmiller]

Morrolan hears question from Fafnir and replies aloud, "Sure, we can check if the statue has some shiny baubles."

He searches the statue.

Morrolan Character Sheet & Fafnir the Pseudodragon

 

[Malachei]

Lai had cocked her head as Morrolan had spoken to Fafnir, as if she might read the dragon's mind. Cats indeed are secretive and mysterious animals, as immediately, she jumps underneath Aden's cloak and hides in his shadow. Suspiciously, she eyes the flying creature, perhaps undecided if he is hunter or prey.

Aden wonders if the statue is a monstrous creature turned to stone, when the wise Renard, walking tome of obscure knowledge, enlightens the party. "Not a big loss to religion, I guess. And not my type of god anyway." he mumbles. Then he steps past Morrolan, nodding and gently touching his arm, whispering "I guess it is best I take care of that..." and carefully searches the statue and the room.

[sblock=OOC]

2 search checks, one for statue, one for room/area (1d20+18=36, 1d20+18=34)

(As taking 20 on search actually means failing several times before succeeding, traps would be automatically sprung. Therefore, as he sees Morrolan is about to search, Aden tries to gently stop Morrolan from doing it in this fashion.

[HolyMan]

[sblock=OOC] NP Malachei I'm sure perrinmiller wasn't activity searching for traps but other tidbits. (nothing found tidbits or traps)

OK everyone it will be combat time soon and instead of being evil I will give you all a small chance to survive LOL this will be a tough fight but before it I need...

A Listen check and a Spot check from everyone and please post your location on the map. If you are searching then you will probably end up near the otherside of the room from which you entered. If you are just watching then you can be pretty much anywhere.

But so far all I know for sure is that Fafnir is curled around the statues neck. [/sblock]

Platinus: Celestial Fleshraker, Druid Warshaper

Once the others have moved searching out into the natural portion of the cavern, Slash moves out and south to the lower wall of the chamber while Platinus casts his glance back around the floor and ceiling near the entrance. As the light source dwindles around the corner, Platinus is slowly plunged back into the comforting natural darkness where he is can wait for any prey to surface.

OOC: Talhia's good about where she was last time. If the others are searching around the statue, Makes sense Talhia would still be hanging back a bit

Wishing to stay as far away from the statue as possible, Dargun searches the south wall round to the west passage where he stands guard until the others have finished with the statue.

Stand Guard at E16[/sblock]

 

[Malachei]

Aden searches the statue, until, slightly disappointed when he finds nothing, he nods at the others, notes "We shall better get moving again, shan't we?" a little absent-minded, and then starts to move towards the cave exit.

[sblock=OOC]

Listen and Spot (called for in statue room) (1d20+12=23, 1d20+15=19)

When searching the statue, Aden will be at position L-18 on the map. If we move on afterwards, he would move to position F-17.

[sblock=OOC] Ok we are in a surprise round and since everyone heard the movement of the Roper's strand they may take a surprise round action. The only drawback is Talhia goes first and won't be able to see the Roper as it hasn't attacked yet. But I have gotten that out of the way and once Talhia goes then everyone else may go ahead and post up one action. [/sblock]

 

[HolyMan]

As the group searches th eroom and takes up postions to watch each others back they hear all hear an ominous noise. It sounds like a rock rolling across a stone floor, bouncing around and then going silent as it comes to a stop somewhere near the west corner. Everyone stands stark still listening intently.

Talhia decides to... (insert actions here)

As Dargun approaches slowly he measures every step so as not to kick any lose rocks himself. He gets close to the corner that looks to lead to another hallway and leans over trying to peer around without exposing himself.

Then a shocking thing happens as he suddenly sees himself across the hall, his reflection being cast back at him in a large single eye. Dargun tries to get away but a sticky strand of flesh rises from the floor tangling him around the waste and pulling tight. The squeezing not only hurts alittle it seems to take all the strength from his limbs, as a toothy maw opens into a wide grin.

"I think I'll save you for desert," the beast declares in a gravely voice.
