D&D 5E (2014) (IC) Vault of the Dracolich (River Gang)

"uh, right then". Udit stepped away from the darkness spell. He's seen them before but this one seemed... more unatural... than normal. And that Mord fellow definitely had a strange look in his eyes.

"This dragon's hoard better be worth it" he muttered as he cleaned his sword and retrieved his bow.

OOC: Shosha is the female Lizardfolk who was known as LF2

Shosha keeps her spear down, but she shuffles away from Snorloska nervously. Guldred speaks to her in their draconic dialect and informs Aquaria telepathically that Shosha saw a bald priest put it away in a chest.

OOC: That would match the description of Silakul.

 

[Prickly Pear]

Just for a bit of a laugh, SnorLoska takes a step closer to Shosha. SnorLoska likes to intimidate people.
And then he winks at her.

With an irritated sigh, Mord let his magic fade, leaving a thin layer of ice on the water in it's place.

Pulling out his Sending stone he reported in. "We have met a Lizard woman who claims that one of the statuettes is being kept by a human priest. She says he locks it in a chest."

Squirrels are evil!

 

[Prickly Pear]

The reply doesn't wait. Through the sending stone the soft voice of Sesto can be heard. We have just found another Bhaalite idol in the chest, Sesto chuckles, and the priest is no longer a priest. For a moment, though, his bones stood up... until Bob smashed its head in!
After a few moments, Sesto's voice continues: We still have mercenaries banging on the door but I think we will take the other door out. I think it will lead us to the room where Loreen's bat is but I'm not sure.
Lastly, aGood Luck! is heard.

 

[Prickly Pear]

SnorLoska listened to voice from the sending stone. They found another idol. That's great... but damn it!!! I wanted to find the next idol!
Irritation is growing in SnorLoska. We have to get going. There is one more idol. And we need to find it!

SnorLoska looks around and points. Let's go back to the large lake and continue further north into the cavern. He then turns to Aquaria and says: Ask Guldred if he knows where to the cavern leads... and what kind of danger lies ahead.

 

[tglassy]

Aquaria does as asked.

Guldred imagines a stirge-nest nearby (don't disturb it) and further the water pouring into a rift (don't take boats or swim too close). Above the rift in the darkened ceiling, he is frightened of what might be up there (it's unclear as to why) and he imagines a grey shimmering wall of magic with a frame of mason-work (again, he fears it).

Lastly he imagines a memory of climbing up a tunnel from the water-rift, and spotting another Bhaalite Obelisk on his left, and a long tunnel going forward. There is the sound of working? Digging? And then someone (human?) fires a crossbow bolt at him, and he shuffles back down to the lake.

Be careful, be safe. he thinks at Aquaria.

 

[Ancalagon]

Udit perks up.

"I think that the other group is near the bat-room? ... but, uh, that tunnel with the Obelisk, does sound promising I guess?"

"Oh, and uh, tell Guldred that if they DO have the idol they better turn it over, or else we are going to come for it eventually and that wouldn't be fun now would it?"

 

[Prickly Pear]

Sounds good, Udit says SnorLoska. Let's follow the tunnel!
