[Living Pathfinder] Little Rock of Horrors

[mfloyd3]

The Dwarf looks at the gnome, then smiles in spite of herself. "Of course," she mutters. "If I ever find myself sprouting berries, I'll be sure to ask you what they are."

The only place that hasn't been checked now is the top-most floor, the floor containing the light and reflecting apparatus. The way leading up to that floor is by ladder and a trap-door in the ceiling. It would be difficult (but not entirely impossible) for Tagaiwi to navigate.

Giocco watches the healing quietly. When it seems that all is done that is going to get done he glances up at the trap door then back to the group he calls his 'army'. "You going up there?"

[sblock=OOC]I need to know what you're doing with Tagaiwi, Mowgli.

"come, vee go" Heinrich points up to the trap door.

Pari looks at the ladder and door, then back to Tagaiwi. "I think you'd better hang out down here, big fella. Guard." He indicates the base of the ladder as Tagaiwi's 'client' then turns back to the party. "Ready."

 

[mfloyd3]

Garnet looks to see that the others are prepared to ascend the ladder, then begins her ascent.

OOC: If anyone calls for her to stop, she will, as she wants everyone ready. Also, I think she can climb the ladder with her shield worn (ACP, but not sure a climb check is necessary), but if she has to put it across her back she will.

This time Heinrick follows Garnet.

Pari falls in behind the wizard.

As Tagaiwi guards at the base of the ladder the rest ascend led by Garnet. The chamber at the top is, you can tell by a glance, empty of occupants. It is enclosed by large windows of very expensive Venzan glass but what draws the attention is the large fire at the center of the room. It is set in a huge, round, brass basin nearly ten feet in diameter but the flames are an unusual color for fire; clearly this is the source of the green light.

On the seaward side of the fire is some sort of contraption of brass framework and cut glass and crystal meant to cast the light in a concentrated beam out to sea. Except that something has gone wrong with the mechanism: the crystal focuser lurches and wobbles erratically and occasionally bathes a section of the room in green light.

In addition the floor is streaked with a moss-like growth that radiates outward from the fire in oddly regular lines and angles back upon itself when it reaches the wall. Giocco's spellbook is sprawled open on the floor in a patch of the moss.

From the lighthouse below you can hear a deep bellow and the resounding crash of someone stomping up the stairs. "GIOCCO! Where are you boy?! What have you done to my... What in the name of Dessano's flashing eye?!" The voice goes silent and you all can hear the deep warning rumble of Tagaiwi's growl.

[sblock=Scott]I need a Knowledge (Arcana) check from Heinrich[/sblock]

 

[Scott DeWar]

K . Arcana check(ooc; been waitin to give you one of these!)

[sblock=Glasseye] hey Tonx, are we gaming today?[/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Sounds like this fella belongs here. I wouldn't want to be in Giocco's boots right now! Pari sticks his head out over the trap and eyeballs his friend. "Ibaba, Tagaiwi! Pagkatira!"

[sblock=Actions]Command Tagaiwi to leave off his growling; at ease.[/sblock]
