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

[worthley]

Bazrim looks at the bodies and trys to figure out what they are, then begins to remove their heads, and separates them from their bodies. "Can never be too careful"

The elven woman watches the diminutive mage warily. "Or too crazy, I guess," she murmurs when he is done.

 

[worthley]

"You may think I'm crazy, but I've learned the hard way that the best way to keep something dead is to decapitate it."

 

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel's search of the three turns up three morningstars, three heavy wooden shields, and seven javelins. They also each have several small, sharp stones stitched into their flesh in the pattern of a five-pointed star the size of a human palm. None in the group know the significance of the symbol.

Bazrim, with his vast knowledge, can rattle off a litany of the things that he knows these creatures are not (meaning any of the creatures covered by the skills he has), but he cannot discern what they actually are.

After Bazrim is done with his grusome work, Nethezar nods absently. "Hope we didn't need to talk to them for any reason..." the odd cleric mumbles.

Pointing his dagger at the tunnel ahead of them. "The path goes that way, what more did we need to ask them?"

 

[o3caudata]

"Keep moving."

 

[TiCaudata]

"While this might be as disgusting as the dwarf's actions, we might need one of these..." Erdolliel peels off a star from one of the monsters, skin and all.

She then proceeds further down the tunnel.

Kushnak wipes his blade before continuing. "That was hardly satisfying. The real battle must be ahead yet."

 

[Dichotomy]

With both tasks done, the group presses onward.

The corridor turns to reveal another room choked with rocky formations. Stalagmites and stalactites block the line of sight ahead. Like the last chamber, this place has a rocky, uneven floor of natural stone. It slopes downward, and here and there rivulets of water flow southward.

Just barely by the light 'round the corner, Erdolliel manages to see two dark-furred beasts. It is hard to catch their details, but they could be wolves or hyenas. They are obviously hiding in the dark, and likely can see the elf, but they seem to not realize that she can see them.

[sblock=OOC]I'll give Erdolliel a surprise round if she wants to act, then I'll roll init.

Oh, and as a note, I'm showing the whole room for ease, but really, the "stala**ites" block quite a bit of it from view.

Erdolliel whoops out, "Kushnak! There is blood to be spilled!" before closing the gap between the beasts and herself.[sblock=oc]move to just west of #2[/sblock]
