Dungeon of the Fire Opal, Part VI

[HeavyG]

The halfling casts a detect magic and takes a closer look at the Fire Opal, securing it before anything happens to it, now that the group has finally reached their goal.

As she approaches, Taz realizes that the red gem around the cleric's neck is not magical. There is a ring around the dead cleric's finger, however, that radiates magic, as well as his gnarled staff. He also carries three belt pouches and a holy symbol.

The red gem looks exactly like the fire opal is supposed to look. It is fist-sized (for a human) and probably worth thousands of gold pieces.

Then she suddenly turns around, yelling: “Ivellios? Everything ok down there?”

After the noise stops echoing from the walls, Ivellios staggers from the far corridor and leans on the wall. He makes a small hand wave as if to indicate he's ok.

Sollir taps Ubaar with his wand again. (And then one more time if it fails to make him go to 1 or above hitpoints)

The wand heals 6 hit points.

With a full-body spasm, the barbarian regains consciousness.

 

[Taz]

Taz removes the magical items from the corpse and takes a quick look into the pouches, then she turns towards Murhid and nods, flashing a happy smile.

“Yes, I think we have it!”

 

[Jalon Odessa]

Despite Taz's exclamations Jalon remains totaly unmoving, as though frozen to the spot.

 

[Taz]

Noticing that after a short while, Taz asks: “Hey Jalon, everything alright!?”

 

[reapersaurus]

With a full-body spasm, the barbarian regains consciousness.

*a big intake of breath* "Huuuuhhhhhh!!!!"

The bloodied startled half-orc looks around for any foes still threatening and reflexively reaches for his dropped greatsword before realizing there's no immediate threat.

Ubaar sees Kytess and Murhid sitting next to him, and sees all the blood that obviously has come from the only living beings down here (undead don't exactly bleed red).
He blanches somewhat at seeing how hurt many of them are.

From the little halfling dead-eye archer to the frozen-in-place war-priest to the mistress of chains to the battlin' monk, this motley group of individuals who started out battling themselves have brought the fight--- and victory -- to the depths of this death-hole that claimed so many.

His still-fuzzy vision obscured by sweat, dirt, blood, (and is that a tear? no ... just a trick of the light) can still make out the large shiny-ness of the Fire Opal in Taz's small hands.

"Hey, Taz - that a big enough shiny for you?
It IS awful pretty.
Ubaar think Achibaldy gonna be happy.

And we gonna get paid."

Ubaar looks at the slightly-built warrior-woman beside him and says a few words to himself before leaning over to Kytess, exhausted next to him, and extends his hand to her, saying "Good fight, Kyte.
I guess no soul-less un-deadies can beat warriors of true spirit, eh?
You have Strength inside you, not just in your muscles.

I was worried I wouldn't be able to see ya fight again - thanks for bringin' me back, guys."

If Kytess takes his hand, he's gonna pull her close and give her a bear hug, almost painfully strong and celebratory.
He'll cast his just-substitued-for Cure Light Wounds as he hugs her tight.

OOC: He never got to use the prepared domain spell of Thunderstomp.

You still have spells ?

 

[reapersaurus]

yep!
he always kept it for a time it could be useful, and apparently, that spell is very difficult to use effectively.

 

[Taz]

“I think we should leave this place soon. We're all injured and who knows, what else is stalking the corridors down here. Tomorrow, we can come back and search this place more thoroughly, then head back to bring Archibald his prize! What do you think?”

 

[CRGreathouse]

Just popping in for a moment. I'll be back for real on the 18th or so.

Ubaar looks at the slightly-built warrior-woman beside him and says a few words to himself before leaning over to Kytess, exhausted next to him, and extends his hand to her, saying "Good fight, Kyte.

[Amazingly, ]Kytess lets Ubaar do so, and hugs weakly back. She shudders involuntarily as the healing energies course through her body. Her wounds knit together, and though her wounds are still extensive, she feels much better. She begins cleaning the splattered undead remains, as well as her own blood, off her weapon.

Are you talking about the, and I quote,

prepared domain spell of Thunderstomp.

?


Because if so, you can't turn a domain spell into healing. Not that I want to mess with your healing hug thing, which is pretty cool.


If it's another spell, it heals 8 hps.
