(Cydra) Hatching Chaos

[Angel of Adventure]

**OOC - Lester's Will Save = 8 + 16 = 24. He has slippery mind, and in case another save is permited, second save = 15 + 16 = 31 **

**OOC - Orbius' Spot check = 9 + 19 = 28**

Orbius turns and addresses the new adventurers outside the cave.

"Yes, Keyth, I am Orbius Visionary, and it is a pleasure to meet another wizard under such circumstances. Your offer of help is appreciated and, depending on how things go with this Egg of N'Rat, it may be called upon very quickly. IF things work out and we are still standing at the end of this, perhaps then we can trade a spell or two."

"As for you, Feral one, you will find that not all actions are forgivable at the Temple of Elemental Good. You are expected to be on your best behavior, stay out of trouble, and be respectful of our ways. Do this, and you will the Elementalists here accepting of your unkind morality. Say, . . . is that druid with the large raptor a friend of yours?"

 

[Ghostknight]

This is the Temple of Elemental Good? And I suppose you claim to be Lester? Got any proof of this- I mean what is going on in here does seem a bit strange, and I don;t like strange in my forest!

ooc: Yep- one expects legendary figures in ones back garden all the time! Right? on the spot check 16 +10 = 26

 

[Angel of Adventure]

Hi Delga!

Lester feels him mind swoon and he must will himself into a moment of sanity. He looks at Delga and says:

"Yes, I be Lester and you are at the Temple of Elemental Good, this is true. But, more importantly, who the heck are you? As for what's going on, I really can't misconsture . . . the Egg of N'rat's hatching is rarely seen by anyone, and you'll soon be amongst those few!"

 

[Ghostknight]

Delga looks at the person claiming to be Lester.

Could be I suppose. If it is Lester then it is fine, if not, then better not to let on until such time as I can act. May as well accept it for now, I can always act later if need be

I am Delga, a druid and follower of the Forgotten King. Need some help with that egg? I'm sure that Great Jaws here can help you get it open!

He quickly casts Speak with Animals And addresses Great Jaws

Great Jaws my friend, break open the shell of that egg, without harming anything inside! These people around us are friends and need you to help with this!

Delga changes himself into the form of a dire bear, to bring the great strength of tht creature into play (str 31)

He urges Great Jaws up, directing him to break the shell with his mighty jaws and claws.

[OOC - Spot check 13+1=14]

Big Yin is amazed to see someone in the cave turn into a bear, and although he's never in his life heard of N'Rat and doesn't know anything about big eggs belching orange smoke, he knows that these bookish types can deal with it better.

'Course, iffen it hatches like ah can rip it to shreds...if they wan'...

[OOC - I have scent. What does the smoke smell like?]

 

[Ferrix]

Casting a cold look towards Orbius, Kaerick says "don't expect too much, wizard." Always, they can just leave me alone. "And so long as the druid leaves our relationship to the way of the wilds, you may call us friends."

OOC: spot roll 19 +18 = 37

 

[the Jester]

*Everyone outside makes the spot check and notices the following:*

The folk still outside the cave notice that a strong bitter wind has suddenly sprung up. Clouds of a looming purple color limned in silver light are running in on the wind high above. This is a sudden and marked change in the weather of the day.

*Inside the cave:*

Lester feels a snap of awareness as a foreign mind brushes up against his. He feels an indescribable emotion roll through him- a pleasurable sensation. All of the hair on his arms and the back of his neck stands up, tingling. Where he touched the egg his hands are covered in sticky, syrupy fluid.

Great Jaws stalks forward, its huge maw gaping open and its tongue tasting the weird vapor in the air. It surveys the egg for a moment, then gives out a bestial roar and snaps forward, tearing at the egg. Fluid bursts out, coating the dinosaur in shimmering sticky liquid. With a bellow, the raptor tears open a chunk of the egg.

Something inside move.

*Everyone make Spot checks. If you're in the cave, your DC is 20. If you're observing through the projected scry, your DC is 25.*

*Big Yin draws a deep breath in.*

The smell is tangy, slightly metallic; it smells very organic. The scent is reminiscent of cooking robin's eggs, with a hint of something more as well. As the raptor begins tearing open the egg the smell becomes much thicker and more cloying.

 

[Ferrix]

OOC: Spot roll 7 + 18 = 25

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

(OOC-I can't make the roll without a 20 so I won't bother)

Keyth is quickly distracted by the events shown by Orbius and looks upon the scene with great curiosity, mixed with a small amount of unease.

 

[JDragon]

OOC: Spot roll 19 + 3 = 22

As he watchs the raptor tear apart the shell of the egg Giovanni asks, "What exactly is an Egg of N'Rat?"
