Constables of the 14th Ward

Darius

The only problem with that is that you won't have a clear shot until after Alarion's attack of opportunity, at which point the creature has already subsided in the pool again. Maybe you can still penetrate the elemental once it is in the water, and maybe you can't. Your second arrow does pierce the water, however, but you can't tell if it was effective or not.

Everyone
What's the plan now?

 

[Lou]

Raul ready to move out

[highlight]"Like shooting fish in a barrel!"[/highlight] he says. [highlight]"I doubt it's dead, but I suggest we finish our search here quickly and move on to the control room"[/highlight]

"Unless someone sees a reason to stick around, I'm headed back to the intersection," states Raul as he prepares to leave the room.

Moru Sen, human conjurer

[sblock=ooc]I hit the wrong key, so invisible castle re-rolled my previous roll before I could edit. Since I'm waiting for a clear shot, this should be another +4 to hit: Arrow fired into melee (1d20+4=12, 1d6+3=9)[/sblock]Figuring he can't miss, Darius lets another arrow fly into the pool once Alarion gives him a clear shot. [highlight]"Like shooting fish in a barrel!"[/highlight] he says.

Lowering his crossbow, Moru says, "That's why we should probably leave it alone. Looks like it was just threatened by Alarion getting too close. If we keep our distance and it stays docile, no need to go slaying it." Since he's already moved to the barrels for cover, the wizard decides to take a look at them to see what they might have in them.

"You smell anything you can identify, Retbi?" he asks his familiar in the pair's chittering language.

The ones you look in contain non-perishable foodstuffs, flour, beans, lentils, and so forth.
[sblock=Retbi] "Yeah, boss! Hang on while I grab a snack for the road!"[/sblock]

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion

"What manner of varlet would place all these aberrations in these tunnels?"

 

[Leif]

OOC: That would be the varlet known as Scotley, Sir Alarion. I, of course, am totally innocent.

[highlight]"I think you might need to sample one of those mushrooms, Sir Alarion. You're limping a bit."[/highlight]

Moru shrugs. If a little food will quiet his familiar, it seems worth it. He moves over to the crates, then, to help Jonas and Bruno in their search of them.

Retbi, Moru Sen, Jonas Krewiczak, Amalthea Varangiar, Darius Watson

Retbi grins and dives head first into a barrel of dried lentils. When he comes to rest, only the last inch of his tail is still visible. Then he squirms a bit and wallows around until his head and shoulders appear. He is in weasel heaven!

Moru joins Jonas and Bruno, leaving Retbi to his indulgence, and sees that Bruno is still growling at some scent he has detected in the pile, but there is a piece of a box covering whatever it is he's smelling, and poor Bruno is finding his total lack of opposable thumbs to be most inconvenient! Lifting the obstruction out of the way, Moru exposes a small scimitar (it appears to possibly have been made for a human youth, it is about the size of a short sword) that has definitely seen better days. The blade is nocked and pitted, the grip has been re-wrapped, and re-wrapped, and re-wrapped, each time with the same stained and worn piece of ratty leather, and something has been carved into the base of the blade that looks like a crescent moon, but droplets of some kind seem to be coming from the lower end. This carving seems to have been added later, because it partially obscures the Smith's Mark.

Moru, also please give me a Knowledge: Dungeoneering check at -3.
And

Thea and Darius give me a Knowledge: Local check at -5.

Jonas, please give me a handle animal check at +4 above normal?? (let's give him a day or so, and then anyone else can give me the same skill roll if he doesn't ok? Happy, Lou?? )
