E1: Tomb of Chaos [Judge: Patlin] [Concluded]

[SlagMortar]

Nars nods to the double doors. "Let's take, er, care of this, ah, first." He readies his shortsword and sickle, expecting an unpleasant welcome.

 

[Manzanita]

"You're right, Nars. We're at full strength. It's now or never." Percy holds her loaded crossbow in one hand, and her everburning torch in the other. "Actually, just a minute before you open it."

Percy will cast mage armor on herself. If Rodimus is still with us, Percy will cast a mage armor on him too.

 

[nimisgod]

Ishmael readies his shield and hammer and keeps the rear as per Percy's instructions. On occasion, he will use his Divine Inquisition ability to sweep the area for enemies. Since he has Darkvision, he is in a good position to spot ambushers from behind.

 

[IcyCool]

Gorefoot draws his greatsword and holds it ready.

The Hall of Celebrants

The subtle sounds heard from outside the door cease when the doors open. This long, broad room is lined with statues made of reddish granite. The two flanking the door are muscicians with curved trumpets held high. Along the sides of the room are men with cattle and women with baskets of fruit. Other men and women bear graceful jars and armloads of grain. Children with garlands of flowers are interspersed in a stylized frozen dance. The four status at the end of the hall represent kneeling men with bowed heads. Their uplifted arms hold empty stone bowls. All of the statues face the centre of the room, but several are knocked askew or broken into pieces. A slight odor of spices pervades the air, and dust thickly coats the floor.

 

[SlagMortar]

Nars makes a quick search around the room to see if there is anything more than the obvious around.

 

[nimisgod]

The stillness of the room unnerves Ishmael. He stays in the back but watches his companions carefully.

 

[Xael]

"Well, this place looks rather empty.", Nezrak says. He keeps his bow ready as Nars searches the room.

 

[Erekose13]

As Nars makes his way around the room moving clockwise around the north edge of the room he notices that several of the statues that have been knocked askew currently stand over cavities roughly three feet by four feet in size with a depth of about three feet. As you get about three quarters of the way around the room a horrific creature oozes from behind the shadows of the toppled statues at the far end. It's terrible mouths begin gibbering wild and imaginitive curses that rend the mind of everyone in the room. It surges forward bent on eating Nars!

[Surprise Round]

Nars is confused by the creature's gibbering and charges forward to crush the gibbering mouther. Felhunter is unable to score a hit though.

Rodimus rushes forward to aid his friend but also fails to find purchase with his attacks.

The gibbering mouther launches an all out attack at the confused Nars trying to eat him. 6 mouths on psuedopods lunge out at Nars. Three of its mouths bite hard into his body, one is actually able to grab hold of him and hang on, draining blood.
