[GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

[Wulf Ratbane]

Bill stomped off with a renewed sense of purpose, turning the corner into yet another set of once-opulent suites.

He was not five steps into the room when he suddenly stopped short. A sense of dread washed over him and the hair on the back of his neck stood up.

"Bill, don't move..." said Joshua from behind him.

Bill looked down at his feet. Hundreds of snakes writhed slowly around him, filling the entire room-- indeed, the entire suite of rooms, as far as they could see.

The snakes moved slowly, in an almost ecstatic stupor.

"Just hold still buddy, nothing quick like..."

No idea what can be done with this many snakes, but here's hoping that the stupor has them non-agressive.

Does it look like a calm person could move in through the snakes slowly without attack? Or at least back out?

Nice roll.

They look to be in a pretty docile stupor.

 

[BryonD]

"OK, stay calm and look around you. Just move slow and you'll be fine.

...

So, do ya think you could sneak a peek back that way, bein's y'er already ankle deep anyhow?"

 

[nakia]

"Not dat I'm complanin', but I wonder why da snakes is so calm? Can ya tell, Joshua?"

SHRUGS

"They're all jus' beasts. They ain't lookin to bite into you unless you make 'em think you're givin' 'em cause. Maybe there're just so busy crawlin' all over one 'nother they ain't got time for people."

Joshua throws a glance toward Teddy.
"Or maybe they just figure anyone who'd come down in this Devil's hole must be on their side of the game....."

Brigitta eyes the sea of serpents from the back of the pack, feeling both impatient and afraid.

"Can you see anything else up there?'

A small part of her hopes the answer is No.

"We're not all going in there are we?" Rawley asks, unable to keep the tremble out of his voice. "Seems like one or two of us could scout the room."

He eyes the snakes, unconsciously gripping the butt of his pistol.

"Naw, not yet at least. Just one, should be good for starts.
You ok there Bill? If you need to back out, just do it. I can take a look if that'd be better."

 

[Hjorimir]

Bill mutters under his breath, "...no job is worth..." before he slowly and VERY carefully works his way back out of the area.
