[LPF] Coils of Flame

[jackslate45]

Once Anaerion finished identifying the myseterious box, he looks up to declare his findings to the party. It was then that he realized that the grease had not been dismissed. "OH, right." With a wave of his hand the grease vanished.

"Now then, this thing. It is a most curious object. I am sure you have heard of a backpack that let's you store more things in it than possible? This box is similar. It is designed to store a number of scrolls for quick access to them. As it happens, the box does have some scrolls in them. To retreieve them, you need to think of the spell you want to cast, then..."

Demonstrating for the group, Anaerion pulls on the dowel and retreieves the scoll of Phantom steed from it.

"Ah, paper and squiggles." "They are called words. Just because you can't read, " "Hey! Hey! It doesn't matter. What's over here?" The blue beast distracts herself and goes over to the northeast corner of the room to investigate the entrance the party has not used yet.

Elenka and Drevezh'korol, summoner and wood man

Despite his apparent recovery from the snake's paralytic poison Drevezh'korol staggers as if he has lost his balance. One hand reaches out to steady himself against the wall, the other reaches up to place thick fingers against his temple. Elenka gets a worried look on her face and moves over to the wood man to see if he is okay.

"Drev? What's wrong?" Elenka places her hand on Drevezh'korol's back but then pulls it away as bark crumbles under her hand. "Your skin..."

Drevezh'korol shakes his head dumbly and pulls away from Elenka's touch. He begins energetically scratching at his arms and torso causing bark to fly in dusty clouds. The scratching seems a bit frantic and Elenka tries to calm the wood man though he doesn't stop until he is panting from exertion. She stares at him in obvious concern and he tries to smile reassuringly but just manages to look grim. As he rubs a spot on his trunk beneath and slightly forward of his arm Elenka brushes his hand away and says, "What is that?"

On each of Drevezh'korol's sides is a puckered knot in the wood, as if a limb had been cut from a tree, that seeps a viscous sap. Elenka is about to comment when the wood man doubles over clutching his torso. After a moment something pushes out out of the knots and from between his hands glistening with beads of golden sap on fresh bark and rapidly grows to form a second set of limbs below and slightly off-set from the first pair. As the second set of limbs grows to equal size of the first set Drevezh'korol quickly recovers and stands flexing and examining his new hands and arms. He occasionally scratches causing a shower of bark bits to fall about him. He nods as if he is well pleased with the change in his form.

"Do not worry. I have been blessed by the King of the Chernyj Wood."

Unnoticed by Elenka or Drevezh'korol during the transformation, the runes upon their foreheads glowed more brightly until Drevezh'korol's transformation was complete.

[sblock=OOC/Actions]Ah, level up complete. I hope this explains the changes Drev underwent at level up (+extra arms & slam attack, -natural armor & healing skill).[/sblock]

The red haired wizard stares in wide eyed wonder during the transformation. "Ach! you summoners are are strange lot, Ja?"

 

[jackslate45]

After watching the events take place with Drev, Anaerion seems to be facinated with the eidolon's transformation. "The only other summoner I met always dispelled his companion when he was transforming. Poor Gragnor, that looked like it hurts." "Oh, that Kitty? Wondering what ever happend to him and Mr. Grumpy."

Anaerion shrugs. "I am sure we will see them again. Anyway, let us be off. We should not be leaving Arianna to scout all by herself." "What, trying to be a front liner again?" "Your not going to let that go are you?" "NOPE!"

Sighing slightly, Anaerion moves back into the main hall.

Elenka and Drevezh'korol, summoner and wood man

Drevezh'korol interlaces the fingers of his four hands and pops his knuckles. It sounds like a basket of twigs all being snapped at once and the wood man grins and lumbers after Arianna.

"Glad you put the pressure on those snakes, Teq Oola. Those claws are pretty formidable."

Elenka shrugs at Heinrich's comment. "Summoners strange? Maybe so, but I can't imagine cluttering my mind with all those complex formulas and the memorization that you wizards have to do. I know what I know and can use it at need." She grins. "So we think you wizards are the strange ones." She raises a brow and inclines her head in Anaerion's direction where the wizard is talking to himself in two voices.

[sblock=OOC/Actions]Drev: Move to follow Arianna.
Elenka: Wait to resume her guard position at the back.[/sblock]

"See? They think you crazy." "Not helping..."

Looking backwards to Elena, Anaerion replies with "While magic can be explained with complicated formulas, there is some magic that is unexplainable. For example, I could spend the rest of my lifetime trying to comprehend how exactly Summoners bond with their companions, and never reach the exact method of doing it. Magic is such a everchanging force, and it varies from person to person. For example, we have 2 summoners and 2 wizards in our party today, but each of us has our own way of using magic. It is a most facinating thing."

"Oh, I know how you can 'bond' with someone! Just cut off your..." "Thank you Malkovian, that will do." Anaerion hushes the invisible voice before it finishes it explanation.

[sblock=OOC]Thanks for chatting amongst yourselves as I got my stuff together. RL's gotten very busy, but I'm still here![/sblock]

Having discovered and identified all there is to see in this chamber you move on. Arianna moves to the northwest corner to check out the exit, and the rest fall in. Not seeing anything that appears threatening, the brave summoner/eidolon move into the passage and move on forward until she can see it opening up into a chamber whose floor appears from here to be made of simmering mud. While the rest of the place is hot, the room ahead sends out waves of intense heat some orders of magnitude higher than the other rooms you've been in.
