D&D 5E (IC) Vault of the Dracolich (Infiltrators)

[Prickly Pear]

Let's wait a little, SnorLoska whispered back, they don't seem to move unless we get closer.
Instead SnorLoska addressed the Alchemist. We can help you getting your hands on the gold if you help us. And, as a bonus, you get to live to see the next day. SnorLoska pointed at the unfinished barrels. How long will it take you to finish these. And please show us how to use them. I'm thinking we can maybe can light a fuse and rolling one of the barrels towards the skeletons... It should destroy them and also open the door to the gold. What do you say?

 

[EarlyBird]

Knowing the javelin won't do much good against the skeletons the warrior readies it with an eye towards the Alchemist. Not knowing if he were to start casting a spell or not he waits anyway to try and stop him if he should try.

OOC: Ready Action: throw javelin if Alchemist casts a spell.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

The alchemist blinked his large gnome-eyes at Zander, confused as to why he would threaten him with a javelin. "Hey now! I'm cooperating! It's going to take about an hour to make this new batch safe to move. I can probably speed up a smaller vat, if you need it. I could get that done in maybe ten minutes, but it wouldn't have the same 'oomph' (that's gnomish for explosive power)."

 

[gargoyleking]

Mord glanced away from the gnome at the interruption and waved Zander down. "We have it under control."

Then back to the gnome he nodded with a small smile. "I think we might do with a rest actually. While you work, perhaps you could enlighten us with with any information you can provide. Most pertinent, perhaps is what dangers lie down the hallway with the terracotta warriors statues."

Squirrels are evil!

 

[FitzTheRuke]

"Oh those are the Dracolich's Vault Guardians. Something about Cultists who displeased him. Turned to crumbly stone and made to watch over his treasures. I don't think they are real, though. Why? Do you have any reason to believe he could turn people to stone? He's a Dragon (or he was) not a Basilisk! Statues, more likely. Though maybe trapped." shrugged the gnome.

 

[gargoyleking]

"Well we did have to fight the stone faces on our way here..." Mord said drily.

"Best not to take any chances. I want to deal with any threat as efficiently as possible."

Squirrels are evil!

 

[Prickly Pear]

Where are the cultists now? SnorLoska asked the little gnome. Maybe we should deal with them before we go looking for the last idol.
By the way... Have you seen any of these lying around, SnorLoska asked as he rummaged through his backpack and produced one off the idols to show the alchemist.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Looking at the idol the gnome shook his head, "Nope. Looks old, smells magical. I'd get rid of that thing if I was you. The Cultists tend to hang out in the Altar-room which is just - "

He stopped short as a loud booming noise came from the south door.

"Well, it's that way. That didn't sound like one of mine, though. More like a thunder-spell of some sort."

 

[gargoyleking]

Mord looked up at the booming noise and then to the others. "They're like to bring the cultists down on them with that ruckus..."

Squirrels are evil!

 

[tglassy]

“Are there any wards or traps on that door?” Terrus asked, drawing his sword.
