Dungeon of the Fire Opal, Part VI

[HeavyG]

Eventually, someone drops Jalon into Reapersaurus' waiting arms. The rest of the party then climbs down and joins Murhid and Taz at the end of the room.

 

[reapersaurus]

Ubaar hoists Jalon on his shoulder again and follows behind Murhid who is looking intently in the corner where the body was coccooned before...

He is ready to bolt down the hallway exit if it looks nasty spider-time again.

"Let's get ready to go, guys.
That poison can hurt you bad."

 

[CRGreathouse]

Kytess follows Ubaar, being careful going down the drop. She doesn't feel well enough to make a witty observation or biting comment.

 

[Taz]

Taz will carefully watch the cocoon, while the others approach.

 

[HeavyG]

Taz will carefully watch the cocoon, while the others approach.

It appears that something is trying to move in there, but the cocoon isn't loosening up.

 

[Taz]

“Is this a spider hatchling or captured prey? Maybe there's someone inside?”

Taz speaks more loudly, not shouting, but loud enough, that someone inside the cocoon should be able to hear her.

“Hello? Someone in there?”

 

[reapersaurus]

If Ubaar had ta guess; a spider would get out of web with no help.

I say we get whoever's up there outta there NOW! "

Ubaar roughly plops Jaylon down and says "STAY"

He looks at the trussed-up figure that is being imprisoned against its will and tries to see the best way to get it down.

If he can't climb up and rip it down, or jump up and slash it down, then "Maybe we can shoot it down?
Ubaar catch it if we do - Ubaar not mind getting webby"

 

[Jalon Odessa]

Jalon follows Ubaar's advice and stays perfectly still... possibly the first (and last) time the priest has taken orders from his half-orc comrade.

 

[HeavyG]

“Hello? Someone in there?”

The only answer is an intensifying of the struggling.

If he can't climb up and rip it down, or jump up and slash it down, then "Maybe we can shoot it down?
Ubaar catch it if we do - Ubaar not mind getting webby"

Shooting it down is out of the question. It's a large coccoon stuck to the ceiling. It doesn't hang from spider silk threads or anything.

It's also a bit too high to reach by jumping. Somebody will have to climb up.

 

[reapersaurus]

In the absence of a less-armored individual volunteering, Ubaar would take off his restrictive armor and try to climb up (in the corner if available to brace himself on the sides) and rip down the body.

If someone else offers, he'll stay down and armored to play catcher. He'll offer an application of Suregrip to the climber, saying "Put this on hands.
Makes climb easier."

OOC: Taz has climbing tools - would we probably know that as a party?
