[QUOTE="Dichotomy, post: 3891362, member: 12941"] [color=purple]"Very good,"[/color] Allustan looks pleased as the group takes on his request. [color=purple]"I will endeavor to make your stay tonight as comfortable as I can."[/color] Bazrim goes outside and is soon joined by Kushnak. The dwarf [i]scorching rays[/i] the egg, and there is, indeed, soon a foul-smelling wet green-brown paste. The pair scoops it up while conversing, but Bazrim knows that, in order to really bring out its properties, more will need to be done to it. [sblock=OOC]Specifics There are two things you can make. 1. Kyuss Worm Paste: Can be applied like a lotion. Any Kyuss worm that touches it dies instantly. Full round action to apply paste; lasts 1 hour. You can also throw the paste at a Spawn of Kyuss, which, if it hits, will turn the creature into a normal zombie. Requires craft wondrous item and [i]neutralize poison[/i]. 2. Kyussbane Oil: can be applied to a weapon to give it the undead-bane property for 1 hour. Any Spawn of Kyuss or similar creature struck takes an additional 1d6 damage (on top of the undead bane). Requires craft wondrous item and [i]summon monster I[/i]. There is enough paste from the egg to make any combination of 4 doses. Oh, and that was meant to be a hint that Bazrim and Kushank can keep talking.[/sblock] While those two are outside, Allustan responds to Erdolliel. [color=purple]"Dragonchess is not too difficult to learn, though it is quite intricate.
