Clutches of Evil - IC: Chapter One

[D20Dazza]

"So it looks like we're tackling the scorpion" grumbles Bahruul "Anyone want to do anything before we head in?" the big Bous says as he slowly reaches for the door to the scorpion's room.

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

“Well I could strengthen someone, but that would greatly reduce my ability to heal anyone after the battle. So would you prefer it be saved for healing?” Keryth asks, as he straps his shield back to his arm.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Destiny slides back form the edge of the room and looks to Bahruul. "Just remember, it is a very large scorpion. I saw it a moment ago and it is a thing to be feared. Maybe it won't seem so large to a person of your stature, though."

Byntrou, sorcerous barbarian

"Hold a moment before we assault the giant stinger," Byntrou says. He points into the room they've all but abandoned. "Clearly, from the trap we just encountered, there is more space to this cave than it at first appears. Who's to say there isn't a less obvious door in here, if we put ourselves to looking, that is?"

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

“You may be right Byntrou, but I have no skill in finding such things. I suppose we could look though if you wish...” Keryth replies.

Pwent gets up from his prone position and starts kicking the wall and searching for secret doors.

 

[D20Dazza]

Bahruul holds his position by the door, his muscles trembling in anticapation.

Byntrou, sorcerous barbarian

“You may be right Byntrou, but I have no skill in finding such things. I suppose we could look though if you wish...” Keryth replies.

"Neither have I, unfortunately," Byn admits. "Sadly, it sounds like the kind of thing little Gav might have had a knack for. But, all told, there's still a chance we might find something, and I'll take that chance if it means we can avoid the big creepy crawly a little while longer."

So saying, Byn gestures for Destiny to share the light as he begins combing the walls for some kind of switch or out of place seam.

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

Following Byntrou into the large room, Keryth starts searching on the opposite side hoping to meet Byntrou in the middle.

OOC
[SBLOCK]Keryth will copy Byntrou’s search style so you only need ask once if you don’t want to assume a normal search. [/SBLOCK]

 

[Nonlethal Force]

TWANG!

No sooner does Byntrou hear the sound as he enters the room than he sees a faint movement in one of the niches in the near left corner. Everyone else sees a crossbow bolt graze his right shoulder.

Byntrou:
[Sblock]Byntrou takes 2 damage. The fact that it is the near corner means that the light from the lantern in the hall provides almost no illumination, making it impossible to determine which niche it came from exactly.[/Sblock]
