Endur's Return to TOEE part 2

[Manzanita]

Torn sees some of the others rushing from the room. "What's going on?" she asks.

She's tempted to rush on out, but would love to have some gear. Are Naquent and the mindflayer armed or armored? If so, she'll ask Lylamwyn to dispell the tentecals so she can loot their corpses. While waiting, she'll ask the ghost, "Who are you?"

OOC: This game reminds me of Mission Impossible II, where people are constantly wearing someone else's face. It's a weird game, but cool, full of twists.

 

[Endur]

Upon the Mind Flayers's body, Lylamwyn, Toriah, and Torn find: two wands (magic), a ring (magic), an arcane scroll of see invisibility, an arcane scroll of displacement, a cloak (magic), and a silver necklace with moonstones (700gp value).

Upon Naquent's body, Lylamwyn, Toriah, and Torn find: full plate (magic), heavy steel shield, masterwork morningstar, light crossbow, 10 bolts, ochre robes, boots (magic), cloak (magic), a wand, potion of gaseous form, divine scroll of true seeing, summon monster V and invisibility purge, holy symbol (obex).

After examining the items, it becomes obvious that Naquent and the Mindflayer were well prepared to deal with invisible enemies, they just didn't think that Kerwyn was a dangerous enough threat that they should use one of their precious scrolls to find him.

The Spirit responds, "I was a prisoner for many years ... years ... years. I am free now ... now ... now. I will go ... go ... go. Beware .... Beware .... Beware. All is not as it seems ... seems ... seems. There is a traitor among you ... you ... you."

The Spirit vanishes.

[Pyrex]

Suprised the see the Cannoness, Raner stops short.

"Cannoness Y'Dey? How'd you get here?

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

Lenya further concentrates on her ability to detect magic, focussing on the canoness now.

 

[Manzanita]

"The rest of you go on. I'm going to equip myself here. Shout back if you really need me." Torn takes the morningstar and smashes the heads of her fallen foes to make sure they aren't easily brought back to life. She shakes here head. "A traitor among us. Isn't there always in this place."

WIth that the cleric begins to struggle into Naquent's full plate. She plans to don the sheild and morningstar. This will take her awhile. If by then no one else has taken the crossbow, magic ring and cloak, she'll put those on too. Then she'll take the divine scrolls and head out.

 

[Endur]

The Canoness responds to Raner, "I disguised myself as a hag."

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Unable to verbally accuse the hag of being a treacherous deceiver, Belaver lets his claws speak louder than words.

 

[Pyrex]

Raner looks on in confusion as Belaver attacks the cannoness, "What're ye doing?"

 

[Endur]

Round 7 Initiative

As Belaver continues to use his claws upon the foul Hag, she loses her patience and decides to respond back with her own wretched claws, dropping the illusion that caused the rest of the party to see her as Canoness Y'Dey.

The bad news is that the four large evil elementals are now moving to attack Belaver.

Lylamwyn, Toriah, and Torn continue to loot Naquent's body.

Lenya detected at least ten magical auras in the room.

25: Large Earth Elemental (room 33) moves and earth pounds Belaver from below (18+12+1=31, dmg 19)

25: Large Fire Elemental (room 33) attacks Belaver from the other side, blasting him into unconsciousness (20/5+10, critical hit, dmg 20, no fire damage because the bear's fur is wet)
