IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part V(b)

[Dichotomy]

[sblock=OOC]The room with the pedestal. Are you going to swim through the water to get back to the bucket?[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel hands her wand of CLW to Kushnak. There's not much left in there, but see what you can do me for with it. Once healed up, she glances at the lever on the pedestal with them and shrugs. Not much worse it can do to us at this point... She then reaches out and pulls the lever.

Kushnak heals Erd and himself and awaits the outcome of the lever.

[sblock=oc] oh THAT water. der. Let's start with 3 clw on erd and 4 on kush[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Kushnak heals the pair's wounds.

Erdolliel pulls the lever, and slowly, the pillar upon which the lever stands begins to lower. Likewise, the water in the room also begins to drain out at the same pace.

After a minute, all of the water is drained from the room, and the pillar is now just 10 feet above the floor. The ladder on the side of the pillar now reaches to the floor. Looking down the hallway to the north, Erdolliel and Kushnak can see the large bucket, previously floating on the water, resting on the ground.
[sblock=OOC]Erd gets 19 hps; Kush gets 24

I haven't strictly kept track, but there's no way air walk is gone yet.

Kushnak: 6 damage
Erdolliel: 0 damage[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel continues through the passage and climbs up the other ladder into the plank filled room.

 

[o3caudata]

Kushnak follows Erd through the tunnel, attempting to keep off the floor if at all possible.

 

[Dichotomy]

[sblock=OOC]The ladder in the in the previously-water-filled pit only went as low as the water's surface. I'm assuming that Kushnak will carry Erdolliel up that far. I think he can still do that, even if it slows his air walking.

Am I correct in thinking that it is probably around midnight or so right now?[/sblock]
While it is a bit cumbersome, eventually Kushnak and Erdolliel make it to the main level of the building again (which Erdolliel had never seen with her own eyes). Soon after, the pair exits into the dark night. There is a hush over this district, primarily filled with docks that are worked during the day. It doesn't seem like anyone is around to take notice of the elf and half-orc.

"I assume that I[/b} already searched the area around here and you know where might be best for us to go?" She says with a testy air.[sblock=oc]So I guess we can go to that campsite and rest for the night?[/sblock]

 

[o3caudata]

"We shouldn't seek refuge in the same place. It's....untrustworthy. But we should find a place for rest and planning."


As they walk Kushnak notes, "I don't know how we're going to go about getting in contact with someone who can help Nethezar. Our best chances will certainly be with churches, though I'm unsure which church holds the best chance. And then there is the matter of getting into the city, and how much danger that presents."

 

[o3caudata]

[sblock=oc]Apparently i don't know how to cut and paste....

here's the REST of that post[/sblock]

"I am fairly confident we won't readily find people outside the city who can do what we need. There is little i can do to disguise us, and i do not think it is worth the risk of separation. So, unless you have other ideas, i believe we should merely attempt to enter the city tomorrow in search of help."

[sblock=oc] I don't know how much i should know about clerics'n'temples'n'things for the town and the surrounding area, but i think it's reasonable that i would assume the people we need are inside the city if they're this close. I don't have a clue though which religions i would guess most likely to be able to assist us. Or if i even should. know(rel) +8

Assuming they find a place to rest, K will take first watch.[/sblock]
