[Eberron] The Forgotten Forge

[Ashy]

Rawhide snatches several of the centipedes and gobbles them up, rubbing his furry belly and making contented sounds. "Erm! Big'uns! Theys juicy!" He eats several and then looks to Gannon, one of the many-legged critters still dangling out of the corner of his mouth, "Yea - wheres to now, boss?"

 

[Knight Otu]

"I think we should explore a bit. Our goal should be here somewhere." Flawed says as it lets itself drop into the chamber from the tunnel.

Bigger than I thought it would be... Where could we find that thing...?

 

[MadMaxim]

Gannon wipes dust and pebbles off his armor while looking at Rawhide. He looks just as puzzled as the shifter, slightly disgusted by his lack of manners. "Well, Rawhide. If you would please stop speaking while you're eating... I really have no idea where to go now. Perhaps what we're looking for is hidden in the rubble or it perhaps it's kept safe somewhere. I don't know. I'd say we start looking for buildings that haven't turned into a pile of rubble." Then he looks around supiciously. "And we'll have to watch our backs and make sure that the ones who got away haven't laid an ambush somewhere around here. There could be other entrances than the one we came through." Gannon picks up his morningstar and shield and starts to look around.

 

[Ashy]

Rawhide looks at Gannon, "Wha? Why me nos talk wit food in mouth? Is theys gettin' aways or something?" The shifter looks down and around as if to see hundreds of creepy-crawlies scuttling away. He shrugs his hairy shoulders and then begins rooting around, looking for clues as to where to go and what to do next...

OOC: Search & Spot, Search & Spot, A Search & Spot we go! (sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells"...)

 

[Old Fezziwig]

As you drop down into the chamber to get a better look at the surroundings, you hear a odd humming rise from the walls and ruins around you. It takes a moment to recognize, but eventually the sounds of chittering and buzzing can be picked out from the hum. It's not unlike the sound of the insects in the King's Forest, except the chamber seems to amplify and echo the noise in disturbing ways.

[Spot checks]

Gannon, Plonk, Flawed:

Spoiler

The noise grows louder, and you all can see what looks like a dark carpet start to form and slide towards you. As the swarming mass of squirming, clicking, shiny black beetles crawls toward you, the noise becomes almost deafening.

Rawhide:

Spoiler

You don't seem to be able to spot the location of the noise.

[Krug]

"G-G-g-BUGGSSSS!!!" shouts the gnome, struggling to find a direction he can run off to.

 

[Ashy]

Rawhide looks at Plonk like he has three heads. "Yea, dey bugs and deys good!" He holds up one of the squirming critters and then pops it into his mouth, grinning...

 

[Knight Otu]

"Careful everyone! We're being swarmed by some kind of beetles!" Flawed calls out as it gets ready to cast burning hands at the creatures.

"Careful everyone! We're being swarmed by some kind of beetles!" Flawed calls out as it gets ready to cast burning hands at the creatures.

Rawhide looks to Flawed and arches a thick brow, "Hurh???" He begins looking around in the area targeted by the warforged, a centipede still dangling from his mouth...

 

[MadMaxim]

Gannon prepares himself for combat and to strike at the first opportunity that presents itself...

OOC: Gannon readies an action to strike at the swarm with his morningstar when it gets close enough.
