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

[Dichotomy]

Kushnak flings himself at what was his clone. He hacks into it with extreme ferocity. While he very nearly kills the thing, seeing what seems to be a perfect image of himself, standing with his innards about to spill out, unnerves the half-orc.

"I'm not wasting this," Nethezar says, tossing his wand aside. He pulls out his old one and fires one missile at each foe. The bolts of force are just enough to bring both down. Nethezar shakes a bit as they both drop. "It was like shooting myself."
[sblock=OOC]Kushnak: charges K', 12+ hit, 21 damage
Nethezar: drops good wand, draws crappy wand, MM one for each, 5 damage each, they both drop

Kushnak is shaken for 1 round. Then he'll be fine. So is Neth.

Erdolliel walks over to the her bleeding clone and gives her a solid kick. She then starts to retrieve her belongings from the body. "What the hells just happened? Where are the other two? What took you so long?" She rattles off questions while strapping her equipment back on.

 

[o3caudata]

Kushnak looks questioningly at the 'real' Erdolliel.

"How long....."

"Why would she...it..."

He shakes his head, regaining his composure and continues. "I can only assume the plan was to entrap us here, though that seems quite...involved. Twists and twists."

"As it was, she...it... damnit.... did a wonderful job of impersonating you.

Are you well, girl? Do you need food or healing?"

 

[Dichotomy]

"You look well," Nethezar notes, matter-of-factly. The scholar then continues. "You must have just been taken here within the last day. Was it when we were first arrested, or when we were ambushed after we escaped?"

 

[TiCaudata]

"I need no healing beyond what they did right now. Although their food was quite a bit bland... What happened to the other two? My head has seemed... empty... yet full... or something for the last few hours. That's when they took Eskard and Bazrim out of here too.

"Eskard and I went to set up the parlay for the lizardfolk. I went to find a privy and woke up here. They kept me unconscious for the most part, I've been here atleast a couple of days. I suppose I can't fault you for not knowing though." The elf acknowledges as she removes a wand from her sack and hands it to Nethezar.

"While the magic missle wands seem ridiculously easy to use now, you can still heal me faster with this than I could myself."[sblock=oc]HOLY MOLY! Almost a year has gone by for the last 48 hours of gametime. I'm glad to not be living a lie anymore!

The wand is CLW.[/sblock]

 

[o3caudata]

"I suppose we should have been more suspicious, but i can't recall any cause to distrust your double."

[sblock=oc]And we tell her everything that's happened to us in the last year... 2 days.... Also 2 clw's for Kush from his wand.[/sblock]

"It's good to have you back. Now lets move on."

 

[TiCaudata]

"Alright, which rooms have we checked now?" Erdolliel searches the bodies before heading out into the hall and continues the search.[sblock=oc]After the healing from her wand... Search the bodies, go to the East doors and search +16 them for traps and listen +12 to the door.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Kushnak heals himself, and Nethezar heals Erdolliel's wounds.

The elf re-equips herself, and Nethezar quickly turns the other way while Erdolliel removes the rags in exchange for her armor and gear.

"I presume that I should overlook our love affair, since, in retrospect, it wasn't actually you," Nethezar comments over his shoulder. Looking at Kushnak, the scholar shrugs. "You have no idea yourself, do you? Oh, and should we make certain these things die, or did you want to keep them?" he asks, pointing a thumb at the fallen foes.[sblock=Ti]While putting her gear back on and checking things over, of course, Erdolliel notes some new equipment. She also notes that, for some reason, she has a very nice looking sapphire.[/sblock][sblock=OOC]Sorry for not posting this last night. If I had, we might have been able to move straight to the hallway. As it is, I want to see if you are going to do anything different.

Kush uses two charges, 15 hit points. Neth uses 3 from Erd's wand on her for 19.

Status
Kushnak: 2 damage
Erdolliel: 0 damage
Nethezar: 3 damage[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel surveys her equipment noting a few new items. "Well it looks like you guys did alright without me. And Neth? As long as you were actually doing it with THAT genderless thing over there, I don't mind." She then ensures that the creatures are dead and jimmy's the door lock on her way out.

"Alright, which rooms have we checked now?" Erdolliel says as shes heads out into the hall and continues the search.[sblock=oc]OL +13 go to the East doors and search +16 them for traps and listen +12 to the door.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel heads toward the east doors in the hallway, ready to check the door upon arrival. However, the elf doesn't get there. Ten feet in front of the door, a trap door swings open. While Erdolliel madly swings her arms in an effort to balance herself, she had too much of her weight on the now-absent floor. The elf plummets downward, and the door snaps shut behind her.
[sblock=OOC]Ref save: 4+ fail[/sblock]
[sblock=Ti]Erdolliel falls 60 feet, 18 damage; she is also "attacked" by 2 spikes, 13+ hit, 13+ hit, 16 damage; that's 34 damage total. It is completely dark, and Erdolliel very quickly realizes (as soon as she attempts to make any noise) that she is under some type of silence effect. She also soon realizes that the walls are extremely smooth and oiled. There is no way she can climb them.[/sblock]
