House Millithor in the City of the Spider Queen II

[Endur]

Kripp thinks Dorina was mostly sincere. He also thinks that Dorina was about to try and kill him before he mentioned That which Swims in Darkness. The mention of his master seemed to deter Dorina.


In the Shrine of Lolth, both Carcelon and Kilcif noticed the darkness that had replaced the Matron's eyes before she put the hat of disguise on.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

Kilcif nods his head not wanting to draw attention to the short conversation while he ponders the condition of the Matron and her eyes, Yeah and what found her…?

 

[Serpenteye]

The Matron continues down the chute, eventually returning to her quarters. Leaving Carcelon and Kilcif behind in the corridor she requests to Kripp that he follows her into the room. After closing the door and making her way to the inner chamber of her quarters (or as for enough away from the door so that their conversation caanot be overheard) she turns to the Kuo-Toa priest.

"The time has almost come when we must strike against the Tsarrans. I come to you to request that you join us in our war. But first I have a request of a more personal nature. I have had a... mystical revelation, with unforseen consequences. By the will of Lolth have I been transformed into a stronger form, more capable of inflicting Her vengeance upon the lackeys of Kiaransalee."
She removes her hat and dropps her disguise. "I have become Undead. And if I don't get the proper treatment in time I will start to rot. I have always prided myself on my appearance, it has been a useful weapon in the past and it can still remain thus in the future. It is a resource we can ill afford to lose. Therefore I ask that you prepare a spell of Gentle Repose for tomorrow. And mention nothing of this conversation to anyone. My status must remain a secret, for if it is revealed it will weaken us."

ooc: How long does it take for her to begin to rot if she remains in the complex? And if she goes to the colder Dodrian Crypts?

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

Kilcif is slightly annoyed about the Matron taking Kripp in the privacy of her chamber, as he had wanted to talk to Kripp in the hopes of finding aid for his condition.

OOC: Kilcif is cursed for those who have forgotten, I doubt Kilcif knows exactly what happens but I figure he’s smart enough to describe the events in enough detail show that Kripp could figure it out.

 

[Pyrex]

Once the Matron has brought Kripp into her quarters and indicated her desire for privacy by closing the door on Carcelon and Kilcif she begins heading back to her room.

"Kilcif, make sure no one disturbs the matron. I'll be back in a few minutes."

Carcelon then heads back to her & Narcelia's rooms and collects everything that Narcelia left behind before heading to the surface. She will also take a moment to use her Pearl III to restore the Dispel Magic.

OOC: B.S., if Carcelon had any way of lifting the curse, I'd find an IC justification for doing it. But Carcelon just plain can't do squat about it right now.

 

[Uriel]

Kripp listens to the Matron, nodding his assent of developments , and indeed, his eagerness to aid in her war. He would like to personally stake the Vampire Dorina out in the Sun, to watch that hated Orb do it's ghastly work upon the uppity creature. Yes, he would aid.

At the Matron's revealation, Kripp agrees to keep her secret as well as to prepare the proper spell, making a mental note to (if time permitted in the coming days) perhaps make a Wand for her as well.

 

[Seonaid]

[Sorry for the delay.] Narcelia kneels by Quertus in such a way that his body is between her and Morn, and does what she can for Quertus's wounds. [Heal check +11] As she works, she says imperiously, "Bind the human," not bothering to see if anyone complies.

 

[Dalamar]

Torellan produces a length of spider-silk rope from his backpack and starts binding Morn's hands behind his back.
"Dariel, you have the honor of being my assistant in this. Give me a helping hand, will you?"

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

Kilcif agrees with Carcelon, “Yes Lady Carcelon…” He hesitates on the verge of asking her if she feels safe alone, but decides not to ask as he is afraid to anger or insult her. Instead he simply moves into a position in the hallway where he can watch both doors at the same time.

 

[Thels]

Dariel sighs as he moves over to the fallen human. Why do we need to keep him alive? Let's just take him out. If he has his consciousness remaining, Dariel will punch him in the face. If he's unconscious, Dariel starts to tie him up again with all his remaing rope, taking his time this time, not caring if minutes pass by doing so. He's a little annoyed by Torellan working on it too. His occupation is women and childish tricks, what's he helping here for? While tying him up, he asks Narcelia: "Are you sure we want to keep him around alive? He's only going to cause more problems."
