[IC] Industrygothica's "The Hive"

"Who needs healing?" Jonas asks, while donning his armor and shield.

"Dyspeer is still in dire need, even after a night's rest," Shai says, indicating the wolf lying quietly, breath pained but steady. "I'm stronger, but if we feel we'll face opposition on the way out, I could myself use some bolstering. I have a few potions, though, which might be better used now, keeping our god's favor in reserve."

[sblock=Hit Points and strategy]My calculations have a night's rest (gain 1 HP per level / HD) leaving Shai with 13/32 and Dyspeer at -4/29. Shai prepped a Cure Light Wounds and has two CLW potions, too, so we might want to use the potions now instead of burning through Jonas' spell slots when we might need the regular spells he has prepped there[/sblock]

Since you brought Courage's body with you, you also have access to her wand of cure light wounds. The remaining charges aren't listed, so we'll say it has 36 charges left.

"We'll use the wand. She wouldn't mind, I think." Says Jonas.(Use wand on dyspeer, Tanith, himself and the dwarves who need healing. (Using the opportunity to detect evil, btw)

"Even in death, Courage helps us," Shai whispers sadly.

 

[industrygothica]

Jonas expends ten charges from the wand in order to heal what's left of the party, and to get the dwarves mobile. He does not detect evil from any of the dwarves.

As the energy from the wand closes his wounds and clears his bruises, Shai stands tall. He hefts his warhammer and walks near to the door.

"Now we're ready. Before we walk out, I'll toughen my skin again. Then, shall I cover our exit with mist?"

[sblock=OOC]Shai will cast Barkskin on himself and Dyspeer just before the group leaves the room, using the Heel trick to keep Dyspeer within 5' to maintain the Share Spells ability.[/sblock]

 

[industrygothica]

Just for clarification, are you:

A. Continuing on through the hive to find out exactly what is going on here, or
B. Taking the dwarves and leaving the hive, vowing to come back another day to finish what you started, and to avenge Courage's death?

 

[Mista Collins]

option B.

 

[industrygothica]

Shai casts barkskin on himself and Dyspeer and prepares to cast obscuring mist to cover the door as soon as it is opened.

The ten dwarves are anxious that they are finally able to leave, but are all a little apprehensive about the noises they've heard outside the door.

Jonas reaches to open the door and isn't really surprised to learn that it has been bared from the outside.

Shai groans.

"Well, we could try to add all of our weight to breaking it down, though we might wind up crowding each other.

"'Course, brother quake offered to lend me some of his strength today* if I need it. I was hoping to hold on to that for something living if we needed it, but that might do to bust down the door...

"Unless you've got something that can blow it open, Tanith? Or do you dwarves remember these critters coming and going any different way?"

[sblock=*]Shai's referring to Bull's Strength. I suppose I could also stack that with his rage for the day, though that might make us a little too weak right out of the gate[/sblock]
