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

[o3caudata]

Rising, Eskard looks to the fallen thing, and at his companions, and hangs his head. "It was too strong for me." he says, sounding like a small child who lost at a game.

He gathers his sword and helps Bazrim finish removing the head.

 

[Dichotomy]

Once the head of the creature is removed an the healing is done, Nethezar turns to the broken elevator.

"We'll have to climb again, won't we?" The dismay in the cleric's voice brings to mind the not-so-spectacular job he did at climbing before.

"If we wait long enough for me to research the books I've found, I might be able to find something to help us so we don't have to climb our way out."
[sblock=ooc]will use read magic if given enough time, to see what spells are in the books[/sblock]

"I don't even know if we have a chance of making a climb... we'll have a lot of opportunities to slip."

Kushnak does another examination of the room, hoping without any real hope that there will be some other way back up.

Bazrim sits down, using the fallen foe as a chair. "These 'outsiders' are more comfortable than you'd think." He then casts a spell and begins looking through the spellbooks that were found.
[sblock=ooc]cast read magic, and start to see if there are any spells in the books that would be helpful[/sblock]

Bazrim stands up from his make shift chair, after going through the last book. "I don't see anything in here that can help us. I'm not skilled enough to use some of these spells. I'm out of options. Kushnak, Nethzar, do either of your gods grant you any spells that might get us out of here?"

 

[michael_noah]

Kushnak thinks for a moment and responds, "We should be able to fix the elevator. We'll need to wait for some time, however. Even so, I think it will be safer than attempting the climb."

[sblock=ooc]Mending will fix wooden objects with multiple breaks. If that's not enough, make whole will fix just about anything. Let me know if the elevator is broken in some crazy way that would not allow us to fix it.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

[sblock=OOC]There's probably too many breaks for mending to be effective without many, many uses. Make whole will do.

Also, you guys will NOT level up at this rest period.[/sblock]
Nethezar nods. "Yes, I think we can take care of it. Shall we flip a coin to determine which deity has the honor?"

"Oh, and do we wish to somehow sneak out? Or do you think the need for such has expired?"

 

[worthley]

"I'm sure Eskard would be more than happy to deal with the few guards we'll pass. If the sounds of the last battle didn't alert someone to our wearabouts, I'm sure that the crashing of the elevator did. What I'm getting at is that if someone is waiting to kill us, they will be waiting there whenever we get up. Also, I don't forsee any of the miners to be a problem, but I still suggest we wait until night, just in case."
