Kurzon places a hand on Terrus, "Tyr's blessing upon you."

Drako

Drako stands up and starts examining one of the hydra’s heads, talking to himself he examines the teeth, “A truly wonderful animal, I’m quite sure this could take an arm off with a clean bite, perhaps even bite a torso in two.”

 

[Ancalagon]

Udit helps Snorloska back up "You ok? That rock came out of nowhere... can someone help heal this man?

... and what the heck was that? Did the *amulet* do this?"

 

[River Song]

Moving over quickly Kurzon once again calls on his god. "This is my last."

The prisoner slowly rises to his feet and says to SnorLoska, "Hey, thanks. You saved my life when I really thought we were all gonna die. I was really wrong about you guys - I thought you wouldn't have a chance against Bardaby or Silakul and their men... But you killed the Hydra! And no one died (other than that guy, but trust me, he's no big loss). I am Dunmire, by the way, and if you promise to do your best not to get me killed, I will willingly help you get this done and get outta here. What do you say?"

 

[Prickly Pear]

SnorLoska thanks Kurzon. I'm feeling a little better now. That boulder didn't do anything good to my back, I'm telling you!
He then turns to Dunmire and looks him up and down. Well, you did quite good here. At least you didn't run away as soon as you saw the ugly beast. And you kept the lantern going even after you started to sink in the mud... I think you can come with us. SnorLoska turns to the rest of the group and shouts: Hey, Dunmire here is coming with us! Does anyone have a dagger or something for him?
Turning back to Dunmire, he says: How are you with ranged weapons? I have a sling and some darts...

OOC: Hp:19/45 SnorLoska will quaff a couple of healing potions unless he can have a short break to roll a couple of HD.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

At SnorLoska's question on ranged weapons, Dunmire looks a little embarrassed. "Uh... I'm real good with a crossbow."

Then he scrunches up his face as he expects to get hit. SnorLoska recalls that this man was one of Shieldmaiden Siobhan's "Enforcers". Dunmire shot SnorLoska once before being told to get help. He had been the man who had discovered that the prison guards had been taken out by the River Gang while his group was fighting the Infiltrators.

"Uh... I think my stuff is bundled up in one if your boats." he was hopeful the group would decide to give him his stuff back, but he didn't expect it.

 

[Ancalagon]

Udit looked around

"we have the amulet yes? We should, uh, not stick around and return to the camp sight. I don't like that water..."

 

[Fradak]

"I heard a weird story about hydra meat. When you cut off a hydra's head, two heads grow, right? It seems it has some latent magical energy in it, even after the hydra dies. It tastes absolutely vile, but eating it grants a very small amount of health regeneration, and apparently, this is a permanent effect. Eating hydra meat more than once makes the regenerative effect more potent.
However, the magic is unstable. In some cases, someone who eats hydra meat will have a hydra grow inside them, which eventually bursts out in a tangle of ribs and gore, killing the host. The kicker is that, while eating more hydra meat gives you more regeneration, it also increases your chance of getting a live hydra in your guts- exponentially. Of course The smart guy would just eat all the hydra meat they could find. Hoping that with enough regen they can survive the hydra bursting through their chest. I have no clue about the veracity of this story, I thought it may interest some of you."


Waiting the others to get ready, Lorenn sends Eko in the eastside corridor (or the caves if doors block the way) to map the place. He stands ready to call him back in his dimentional pocket.

OOC: [...]As an action, you can temporarily dismiss your familiar. It disappears into a pocket dimension where it awaits you summons.[...] Eko stealth: 1D20+2 = [5]+2 = 7 (I didn't find a rule about stealth and size (maybe there is one). Are you inclined to rule it like 3.5 did? Or take inspiration from it, like giving advantage. [...]A creature larger or smaller than Medium takes a size bonus or penalty on Hide checks depending on its size category: Fine +16, Diminutive +12, Tiny +8, Small +4, Large -4, Huge -8, Gargantuan -12, Colossal -16.[...] The bat is a Tiny beast, so... ) Eko perception: 2D20.HIGH(1)+1 = [18, 4]+1 = 19 Keen Hearing. The bat has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing.

Upon Loreen's story, SnorLoska stops slicing off a hunk of meat from the hydra. He looks at the meat and then at the murky green water. Something is slowly dawning on SnorLoska and he chucks the meat into the water. Bah! I'm not hungry anyways.
After gathering his few possessions (is that my lantern over there?), he turns back the way they came and says to Udit: I agree. Let's get out of here. The water stinks worse than my farts and I don't like the look of the hydra. *grumble, grumble*
Let's get back to our boats and maybe back to the camp for a short rest. I'm tired and sore from the fight. And that stupid boulder did nothing good to my back! SnorLoska is in a foul mood.
SnorLoska's eyes narrows when he walks past Dunmire. You're a lousy shoot. That cross bolt back at the entrance didn't hurt at all! But... NEVER aim at me again!!!
