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

[Dichotomy]

Eskard takes one last, more careful swing at the cleric. His sword barely manages to find a hole in the armor. One final gash is simply too much for the cleric to take. His lifeblood spills to the ground.
[sblock=OOC]Kushnak: stunned
Eskard: attacks 1, 12+ hit (barely... apparently you knew precisely when to stop PA), 12 damage, kills it

Status & Init
Kushnak: 3 damage
Eskard: 6 damage; dodge against 1
Bazrim: 6 damage
1: dead
Erdolliel: 10 damage; 6 nonlethal damage; dodge against 1

Eskard stares down proudly at the fallen cleric and chuckles a bit. "Not a hard fight when the hardest part is getting to them." he says, chuckling again.

Bazrim runs over as fast as his little legs can carry him, and begins to kick the fallen cleric. He then lets out a monsterous scream and turns to Kushnak. "Next time we are fighting something that's blind, we should think before we cast a spell that makes it so we can't see either."

Bazrim then begins to to take any valuable of the bodies, and tosses them into a pile. "We should rest now, as my wands are starting to run low, unless Eskar can find some sort of hidden passage in this room." Bazrim pauses for a moment, and then continues. "And I'll be able to tell you what of this stuff is enchanted after I do my rest and studys."

[sblock=ooc]I will update my memorized spells once I hear for sure that we are resting now[/sblock]

"It sure seemed like they could see when they were stabbing us."

Kushnak sets up shop to heal whoever needs it before suggesting, "We should camp in the room with higher ground instead of this one. Also, what in the hells are they burning?" He proceeds to have a look at the fire.

 

[o3caudata]

Eskard looks stupidly at Bazrim and takes a quick gaze around the room. "I don't see any hidden passages."

"I'll take the first watch." he says, waiting for the others to do what they do.

Once settled, Eskard will hone his blade while the others sleep.

[sblock=OOC]So, Ti is gone and indicated that he might get a post in per day. I'm not gonna make him waste time saying that Erdolliel searches and just make the bold assumption.[/sblock]
An extensive search turns up items similar to what you've already uncovered: morningstars, javelins, spears. In addition you find the 3 masks the guards were wearing. The cleric had a morningstar of masterwork quality, masterwork banded mail, a potion identified as cure light wounds, a brooch [size=-2](boy, what the hell could that be?)[/size], 42 gold, and a silver key.

Behind a large rock, you find 500 gold, a silver holy symbol of Lolth, a pearl necklace, and a rope. You also find two scrolls written in common. However, the rambling, disjointed writing is virtually impossible for any of you to comprehend. But one passage stands out:

At last the will of the Ebon Triad be done. With the return of great Kyuss, the Age of Worms is finally upon us!

You find no hidden ways out of the chamber.

While Kushnak doesn't know a great deal about the fire, as he gets closer and examines it, he highly suspects that some type of hallucinogen is involved.

"I'm sorry Eskar, the fumes from this fire must have made my memory lapse." Bazrim then gathers as much of the found treasures, and carrys them to the room indicated by Kushnak. "We should get some rest, and then maybe we could figure out what this key is for. Oh, and Eskar as an appology for my mistake a moment ago, I plan on memorizing a spell that I can cast on you in battle, to make you larger, and able to hurt our enemies more. You just need to let my spell help you, ok?"

[sblock=ooc]cast detect magic, to see what is magical, after new spells memorized. I'll cast twice if needed[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

"I need less sleep than any of the rest of you, I will take the last watch."[sblock=oc]Thanks for the cognitive leap there Di

Erdolliel will sleep as much as she needs to and then keep watch on the group for the rest of the night.[/sblock]

 

[worthley]

Bazrim, hearing that most watches for the night have been claimed, he curls under his blanket and quickly falls asleep.

Not wanting to dull his senses any, Kushnak avoids the fire and leads the others back whence they came.

"Does anyone have any entertainment planned for the evening?"
