Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [IC]

[DrZombie]

"Oh bugger this" says Jonas. He draws his sword and gets ready to slay some enemies. He prays for the might of Heironeous to flow into his arms.

The group looks to where Shai says he saw something. For a few moments everyone is as still as statues, and deathly quiet, waiting.

Slowly small a v-shaped ripple rises in the muck and moves toward the wall--the very one that the nimble halfling is clinging to.

The group looks to where Shai says he saw something. For a few moments everyone is as still as statues, and deathly quiet, waiting.

Slowly small a v-shaped ripple rises in the muck and moves toward the wall--the very one that the nimble halfling is clinging to.

"I've heard stories..." Shai says as he trudges slowly backward toward the wall. "The city may actually have put them here on purpose. If this is the muck-eaters I've heard about, they travel in packs, too, so keep sharp.

Now, if only I remembered if they eat meat or not..." he says, gulping.

Rogash

"Looks like you've made a friend Friadoc." Rogash moves, trying not to make waves, to bring the moving target in range of his Glaive.

 

[Friadoc]

"It probably thinks I'm the safer target," says Friadoc with a frown, as he inspects the area around him for several handholds. When attacked, Friadoc should be able to use his feet for defense, while keeping his hands in secure handholds.

However, if that fails, Friadoc will commit himself to the muck and show the creature the meaning of it's mistake in selection.

The eye stalk rises from the water almost directly underneath the halfling. It takes no immediate action other than to watch... for now.

Rogash creeps into striking distance of the thing, whatever it is. It still makes no aggressive movement.

Shai and Dyspeer retreat to the back wall, keeping their eyes on the thing ahead. From the corner of his eye he realizes it is as he feared: there is at least one other in the room as well, waiting, watching near the wall opposite Friadoc.

[sblock]I'll try to get a rough map up later, if you need it. I'm running a bit short on time at the moment.[/sblock]

 

[DrZombie]

"Either they'll attack, or they won't." Jonas says, and heads towards the door trying to avoid the beasties.
(he'll move untill he's at the door or untill he thinks he'll be attacked, then strike)

 

[Scotley]

Rogash

"Anything that lives in this filth is bound to be tough. As long as they don't mind us, let us do as they do and just keep a wary eye out." He does not lower his weapon. "Do you need a hand with that door Friadoc? Can you tell if the level of filth is higher on the other side?"

 

[Mista Collins]

With her crossbow trained on the creature, Tanith stands there in the filth and carefully watches. "I agree. If this thing doesn't want to attack us, let's not attack it."

 

[Friadoc]

"One moment," says Friadoc. "I'll check."

If Friadoc didn't hear anything obvious on the other side of the door when he listened, he'll now try a knocking test to see if it sounds like the room is filled in flith and flotsam as the noise would be different if where he knocks is covered in liquid mess.
