Dungeon of the Fire Opal, part V

[CRGreathouse]

Kytess steps in the room, looking at the dead creature.

"Next time I go first," she says dryly (intending it as a joke, but it's not obvious).

Looking around the room, Kytess says, "Isn't this the last room? Maybe the witch moved the opal elsewhere before attacking us."

She pauses. "Taz, Sollir - any thoughts? This seems to be your area of specialty." Kytess tries (Diplomacy check 1d20-2? ) to not sound patronizing to the "little ones."

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

"Erm, this isn't exactly my bit of specialty, but i'll take a look." (Sollir will make a check, heal? to try and find out what he can about the creature)

 

[CRGreathouse]

(Actually wondering more about the opal than the critter, but that works. )

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

(lol, for the opal though I don't suggest that now , he might try to pick pocket it and stuff it in one of his backpacks )

 

[HeavyG]

Ubaar the rogue tosses stuff around, looking for anything of interest.

"Any shiny stuff in here?
Might as well get paid if we're doing dangerous stuff down here while looking for the big opal."

Nope. No shiny.

He examines the other centipede body.
Is it dead?
Is it a hollow husk, like a snake-skin?

Does it have the same strange red markings on the body as the freshly-dead one?

It has been dead a few weeks, probably.

No, it's a chewed-up, half-eaten dead body.

Yes. Same species of centipede.

"Erm, this isn't exactly my bit of specialty, but i'll take a look." (Sollir will make a check, heal? to try and find out what he can about the creature)

As far as you can tell, it's probably some kind of giant centipede. With red markings on their hide.

"Next time I go first," she says dryly (intending it as a joke, but it's not obvious).

Looking around the room, Kytess says, "Isn't this the last room? Maybe the witch moved the opal elsewhere before attacking us."

"You always come first in my book, Kyte.

And did you get bonked on de head last bat-tle?

After this room cleared out, we should go to where we fought da dragon!

It's over there." He says, while pointing in the southeast direction.

[Murhid]

"Yes good thinking High-Ubaar, someone check out this room, who knows the opal may be hidden under a piece of wood." Murhid points to a broken piece of shelf on the ground. "Though Oneself shall start backtracking now" Murhid will then make his way to 'where we fought da dragon', taking caution (moving silently) if he hears anything that isn't the group.

 

[CRGreathouse]

Kytess glances from the group members examining the centipede corpses to Murhid. She decides to follow Murhid... though 20 feet behind, so as to make little noise. She walks as quietly as she can in her armor.

 

[reapersaurus]

Ubaar calls out to the suddenly-departing monk and fighter -
"Hey!
Where you guys goin'?
Ubaar thought Jalon said to stay together!

Does anyone have any ideas about this place?
Why this hundred-leg all chewed up?

Why these tools all broken?

What's with these red marks on the hundred-legs?

And can anyone read this writing on the walls?"

Ubaar turns to Taz and says, "See?
Your magic stuff failed you... like Ubaar said, magic tends to go weak just when people need it.
Steel never goes weak - isn't that right, hundred-leg?"

"Taz - you think the vial reveals where opponents are?
Or what about revealing where pretties are?
Take out that big ru-bee.
Does it make the light go brighter?"

 

[Taz]

“Didn't we already search the witches quarters? I think we should check the eastward passage north of us!”
