[LPF] Rescue at Boar's Ridge

[hemera]

Edging in behind Dolgrin, Reianne is initially disappointed that the room discovered is merely the kitchen. "Ooh, the kitchen. How mysteri...oooh, now do you see that? A book, in a bubble in a bunch of green...I don't even know what that stuff is. Why put your book in there in the first place? Better question, how do we get it out?"

Puzzling over this, Reianne taps the sunrod against her head while waiting for anyone with a idea of how to retrieve it. Rather hungry, she does her best not to think of food. Luckily, the molding food around helps keep her on the task at hand.

The frown on Mesem's face suggests he is second-guessing the choice of adventurer as a profession. Nevertheless, he calls upon the abilities of magical sight to inspect the jar, and the rest of the room as well.

[sblock=OOC]Mesem will cast Detect Magic and inspect the jar, then the rest of the room.[/sblock]

Ru Brike, human ninja

"No wonder goblins are so dumb: they're eating their books," Ru quips. He frowns, though, at the nastiness of the green muck. He gives the smelly book-stew a wide berth, instead moving to glance in the back of the kitchen before anyone gets too relaxed. "Menik, mind sending one of your lights this way? I haven't sussed out seeing in the dark just yet."

[sblock=ooc]Ru moves as far north as it takes to see the rest of the kitchen[/sblock]

Galandra chuckles at Lem's indignation and stays making guard at the door. "What's that?" she asks glancing at the kettle. "Doesn't smell like soup"

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Galandra chuckles at Lem's indignation and stays making guard at the door. "What's that?" she asks glancing at the kettle. "Doesn't smell like soup"

Lem says to Galandra, "I'm not sure. Some kind of freaky greenish acid from the smell, perhaps. It doesn't seem to be burning through the container, however."

OOC: Lem makes a Herbalist check, hoping it is relevant.

 

[soulnova]

Galandra waits for the others to check the rest of the kitchen. "While you are at it, it would be good to see if there's anything edible over there"

Menik recasts dancing lights in lantern form, and sends them around the room.

"Maybe we can poke the book out of there with something" he suggests, looking around for a suitable implement.

 

[possum]

"I wouldn't touch that stuff, friends," the dwarf says as he sees the bubbling green liquid. "Green slime," he explains. "Very bad stuff... Very bad."

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Lem raises an eyebrow and asks Dolgrin, "Can it eat through that metal pot, then? What happens if we just tip it out onto the floor so we can get that book?"

 

[Satin Knights]

Most of the party enters the room and stares as the glass pot containing the book. Mesem confirms that it is magical and there seems to be a bubble around it that is holding back the slime. Without that bubble, it is likely the book would have dissolved within seconds. When people started entering the room, the slime started churning a bit more, sensing you, wanting you.

Looking at the table, the metal knives and wooden forks and spoons all show severe damage where they have been used in the past to attempt freeing the book.
[sblock=Mesem]The book and bubble are magical, but you would need to be trained in Spellcraft to tell what the spell is.[/sblock][sblock=Lem]Green Slime does CON damage as it dissolves flesh and bone on contact. One round, it can be scraped off but still does CON damage. Two rounds of contact with it requires fire, cold, or amputation to stop it from devouring a body.

In other words, splash damage is very, very bad.[/sblock]

Some of the food Lem and Ru find would be edible, but is quite on its way towards spoiling.
