[LPF] Scourge of the Howling Horde

Agno refreshes the light spell on his bow in preparation for whatever might come then steps over to the alcove to look it over. Not expecting much there he only gives it a cursory inspection before returning to his place in line.

"Shall we, hurrr... advance upon feets of caution?"

The alcove next to Agno is nothing special, just natural cavern.

From the light of the illuminated arrow, Denizel thought he spotted something really small skittering around on the walls. From this distance, he cannot be sure if it was a spider or not. The movement was quick and it disappeared.

Nothing charges out from the back of the cavern at you.

Sylla considers for a moment, her fingers tapping on the hobgoblin chieftan's bow. She glances briefly at Keeling, then says, "You may want to hold on to your bird, priest." She begins chanting in her guttural tongue, and a wave of energy the color of old blood coalesces around Boots, and remains there after the summoner finishes chanting. Whatever the aura is, something about it is deeply and unspeakably disturbing, as if something dark and unnatural were trying to push its way into the world.

"Huh. Everything smells like home now," Boots says. "How'd you do that?"

"Magic," Sylla says. "Head in. Look around."

Not knowing what Sylla intends Agno transforms his shape slightly taking on an appearance even more like a raptor than before, almost as if shifting to match his form with Keeling's.

"Hold my, hurrr... bird? Keeling is no...

Agno is interrupted by Sylla's spellcasting and the summoning of whatever aura it is that now surrounds Boots. Keeling flaps his wings and Agno shivers as he looks at Boots. He seems more agitated by the unnatural alteration of of the Dark Wolf than does Keeling.

As the loosely described wolf and his mistress head deeper into the moaning cavern there are several little shapes that are moving away from the light on the walls, floor and amongst the cobwebs that are prevalent in ever nook and cranny of the natural rock walls.

The cavern appears to narrow straight ahead and also head off to the right.

The scuttling figures bring a frown to Iago's features. "Wait," he tells the others, pulling several vials from his belt. He hands one to Denizel. "This is a phlogiston condensate -- You would know it as Alchemist's fire," he explains. He hands another vial to Agno. "This is Rornish Vitriol. It is a powerful acid," he explains. "If the spiders swarm, your other weapons will be of little use. Throw this so that it shatters, and it should hurt them badly. But avoid getting any of it on yourselves."

He advances to Sylla. "Colloidal steelbane?" He offers, extending another vial.

[sblock=actions]
Not sure if it's one more or two to give the vials to Agno and Denizel, but once he's done that he'll advance to Y6 and offer another vial to Sylla. Sylla and Agno get acid, Denizel gets Alchemist's Fire.

Sylla accepts the flask of acid. She hefts the glass thoughtfully. "Boots should be able to avoid the splash. Don't let harming him stay your arm."

"Yeah, I can dodge that no prob-- Hey! Did you just say they could throw acid at me!?"

Not sure what to do with the Rornish Vitriol Agno slips it into his belt pouch. Leaving the pouch's flap unsecured he moves up behind Iago. His bow is held loosely in one hand while his other is free and ready to cast a spell should he need it.

"Hurrr! See anything? We should move further in. Nothing is happening at this pace; they all flee before we reach them."
