IG's "Those Left Behind" Chapter 3

[Shayuri]

Frustrated that no chaos monster was entering her line of sight...the giant SPIDER there probably helping with that...Talashia goes over to crouch near Rogash and fires another bolt of lightning at the chaos beast lurking against the north wall!

(Seeking Ray! 12 to hit, for 9 damage...terrible rolls, but chaos beasts don't have very good Touch defense hopefully. Roll Lookup Seeking Ray does ignore melee penalties and Cover bonuses to AC, happily...)

Talashia's spell stops the remaining chaos beast, leaving only one giant spider to deal with.

That spider makes its way to the nearest living thing, which happens to be Caerwyn, and opens its huge, poisonous maw. Inside the gaping hole, Caerwyn can see its insides shifting and oozing as the chaotic transformation begins. It tries to clamp its mandibles onto the paladin, but the transformation cripples it for an instant, and the attack misses.

The others advance as Caerwyn plunges his blade into the thing, and the spider looses an eerie wail that echoes through the cavernous sewers. One by one your attacks beat the giant spider down, until it lies a motionless mass of half-transformed bloody pulp.

[sblock=OOC]No sense in dragging it out since there was only one spider left. You're free to explore for a bit.[/sblock]

with a great utterance ov frustration the youong human breaks from the spider's webs that hold him when all the dreatures are gone, he rests on one knee, fatigued from the expirence. his breathing going from rasping to calm after a few minutes.

"Caerwyn!" Talashia calls out as she bolts into the room, skirting the messy, nasty spider bodies and the still fizzing, slowly dissolving piles of chaos goo. She runs to her brother's side. "Are you all right? What were you thinking, charging into a room full of chaos beasts?"

 

[Scott DeWar]

*Shrug* "Had to make sure that the beasties wouldn't try and chase you. Dad would beat me to a pulp if I let you get hurt."

 

[Friadoc]

While the siblings "discuss", Buurt gives the area a once over, searching for anything hidden that might be useful, needful, or informative. Also, if and when possible the half-orc will police his bolts, recovering those useful and damaged, this later part is more out of habit than need.

Rogash

Dropping his bow back into its quiver, Rogash the slips down from the alcove and checks to see what is in the barrels. "How many of those cursed chaos beasts can there be down here?"

Wanting to get the subject off of him (and not wanting to get his sister riled up) he shifts his attention to Rogash's question, "Hopefully we have disposed of the last of them."

 

[Shayuri]

Talashia just shakes her head at her brother's comment. "Just...when you're in the fray like that, it makes it hard for me to use my full powers. Still, you're all right, so I suppose it worked out."

"But," she adds, "I very much doubt that was all of them."

The sorceress took a moment to look around then, as Shazi cautiously flew into the room.

"Where do we go from here?"

OOC: according to map on post 608, there looks to only be one door in this room, is that correct?

Caerwyn looks about and tries to make out the lay of the room. he then walks aobut to see if there are any footsteps that dissappear into the walls.
