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

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel hastly makes her way out of the room.[sblock=oc]Let's start with NW, NW, N, N, N, N, W, W, N, W, S, S, S, W, W and then see what she roll next. That should be 80' and I think that almost gets her to the SW corner of the maze.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

"It should take perhaps a minute. Hopefully she doesn't kill herself," Nethezar answers. The scholar quickly follows after Erdolliel and slams the door shut behind the elf as she runs out.
[sblock=OOC]So, we could go through this round by round, but, quite frankly, I just don't want to. There is little way that Erdolliel can hurt Neth and Kush. She has four more rounds and she tries to attack the caster, babbles, and twice attacks the nearest creature. In short, she doesn't get far enough away to get into trouble, and there's no one for her to attack. Any problems with that?[/sblock]
After a moment, Erdolliel can be heard screaming on the other side of the door, and soon she pounds on it, screaming that she will kill you. But, a moment later, the elf regains her senses. After giving a long count to thirty, Nethezar opens the door and lets the elf back in.

 

[TiCaudata]

"So what just happened there?" The elf says as she enters the room again. She then proceeds to follow her tracks to the the first fallen foe and searches him before working her way towards the Allustan fake. [sblock=oc]speeding up is fine by me... Search (+17) X then search her way to A moving from X NE, E up the stairs, and E to A. Then search A.[/sblock]

"You appear to have lost your senses.....temporarily." Kushnak says eying her with mock suspicion before making his way slowly around the room.

[sblock=oc] Fast forward is good. Detect magic, make my way around, trying to avoid my peeps as much as possible.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel moves up to the first dead figure and begins to examine it, but the elf finds nothing.

Nethezar glances around the chamber, but makes no more movement about it.

Kushnak detects the presence of magic on the creature that looked like Allustan. As the half-orc begins to move, however, he sets off a trap. Kushnak feels a tile in the floor, right at the top of the stairs, suddenly sink an inch. A giant spear swiftly strikes down from the ceiling, stabbing into the half-orc's shoulder. He sees an inky substance on the spearhead, as he pulls it out of himself.
[sblock=OOC]Spear trap attack roll 14+ hit, 14 damage; poison save 13+ success[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

"Oi. Probably best if we don't move much until I can check this place out some more." The elf comments as she continues on her path.[sblock=oc]continue previous action.

Search (+17) her way to A moving from X NE, E up the stairs, and E to A. Disable (+15)any traps along the way. Then search A.[/sblock]

 

[o3caudata]

"Damnit." Kushnak curses under his breath. He remains stationary while Erodlliel continues searching.

After a short time he mutters a spell to himself and continues watching the girl search.

[sblock=oc]Guidance (+1 to my second fort save, if any)[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

As Erdolliel slowly moves across the room, Nethezar follows her. The scholar looks at least a bit comical, as he concentrates on exactly following the elf to avoid traps.

Erdolliel finds, at the top of the steps, in a mirror of the trap Kushnak sprang, a pressure plate. The elf easily disarms the trap by rigging the plate. The elf then moves onto the alien-like creature, where she finds a few notable trinkets.

Kushnak, with the aid of his spell, easily shrugs off the second "attack" of the poison. The half-orc's immune system is more than adequate to deal with it.
[sblock=OOC]Kushnak's fort save is 12+ success. No poison.

Erdolliel finds and disables a trap exactly like the one Kushnak sprang.

On "Allustan" she finds a magic greataxe, magic ring, scroll, and a wand. You don't yet know they are magic, of course, but I know you'll detect them at some point.[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel continues to search towards the throne. "Just in case he wasn't completely lying." she says with a wink.

After searching the throne, she finds a trap-free path to Kushnak. Once there, she looks at her companions. "Should we search this room thoroughly or make sure that there aren't more side rooms first?"[sblock=oc]Search +17 SE to the throne. Search the throne for traps, secret compartments, and booty. Search SW to Kushnak.

I might be trying to move to far here since any treasure might dictate what we do next.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel makes her way to the throne. Upon careful examination, she finds a hidden button of some kind under the left armrest.
[sblock=OOC]Seriously, people who write adventures are stupid. If a guy has a key ring, it should say so in his list of items, not later on in a block of text. So, Erd also found a key ring on the guy.[/sblock]
