IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part I

[worthley]

"I still suggest that we don't attempt to use any of these things until we are sure it's safe. I can carry some of this stuff, until we can figure out if it is harmful or not. The other option is that we can leave it here for now, as it seems we'll be coming back this way on our way out....."

"For stones' sake, I'm putting on the damn things," says Boldak as he slides the odd contraption on his head. He then continues his search.

 

[Dichotomy]

As Boldak searches the area with the goggles on, it seems like he can perceive smaller details with greater clarity than before.

In the southern room, the only thing the dwarf discerns is that there is a layer of whirling air resting atop the stone slab, almost as if to make a bed of air. When he touches it, he feels tired for a moment, but the effect ceases as soon as he stops touching it.

When he examines the door to the west, it appears safe. Inside is a small room with only a toilet that hasn't been used in a great amount of time. Thorough examination reveals nothing further.

Boldak returns from the lavatory and addresses the group, "It seems we're at an impass. Either we brave the slimy floor or we look elsewhere. Feel free to try what you like, Breth, though I don't see the need for your fancy concoction there, it won't hit all of the mold anyway."

The dwarf backs off a bit from the growth, fearful that it might throw spores or something when ignited. He retreats to the hall with statues, examining them with his improved eyesight.

 

[TiCaudata]

When Boldak put the goggles on, Breth does a full body flinch. Only after a minute or two goes by does he open one eye to look around. "Well he didn't explode or go instantly insane, I guess there's something to be said for that."

 

[TiCaudata]

"Maybe we should try this dry fountain first, see if it controls both maybe."

Breth walks to the fountain across from the toilet and tries to turn the spigot on while staying dry.

 

[Dichotomy]

Alas, while Breth finds what he thinks would be the way to turn the spigot on, nothing happens as he does so.

 

[TiCaudata]

"Hmmm, any other ideas? Most of the damaging spells I can still use are for cold which I suspect will have little effect on that mold over there. The cold seems centered around it.

 

[o3caudata]

"We should at least try something...."

Alexis sets down her pack and pulls out a torch and a flask of oil.

"Can i use your lantern Breth?"

Alexis lights the torch, walks to the mold, empties the flask(on to the mold) and sets it alight.

 

[worthley]

Viktor lights a torch an runs around to the other side of the mold and begins to set that side aflame with his torch. He looks up to the others across the mold "Just quickening the process."
