[LPF]Treasure Hunt

[InVinoVeritas]

"Oh, don't be silly, Marcus," Kazanto laughs, "It's not dragons that devour maidens, it's aboleths. And I can already speak Aboleth. Dragons are nice. One of them gave me this to wear!"

She shows off her breastplate.

 

[Artur Hawkwing]

Marcus is blissfully unaware, his eyes trained on the passage and the swaying cobwebs, of the display of breastplate going on nearby. He sighs.

Remind me to tell you the stories I've heard at some point, if either of you is interested.

Sending the light down the hall after a minute when nothing comes out, it is able to get about 20 feet before getting stuck in the inrceasingly dense webs. You are able to see that after about 30 feet the hall seems to open up to one side, and that at that point, there are some shadowy lumps underneath the dense webbing. Every once in a while, the party can see the webs move a bit, but nothing further happens when the light is sent down the hallway.

 

[InVinoVeritas]

Kazanto cocks her head. "What, you need to go down there? I can get rid of the 巣, er, cobwebs if you need."

 

[Artur Hawkwing]

Marcus nods.

That would be immensely helpful, as a matter of fact, it might tell us what that..thing...is back there.

Something finally clicks in the Half-Elf's brain. He glances at the table nearby again and eyes his bow. He returns the arrow to it's quiver, the bow to his back and pulls out his lucerne hammer, nodding at the weight in his hands.

If it's something else like that winged head back there, it's getting pulverized. When we're all ready, Kazanto, have fun with the cobwebs.

He spares a sideways glance at the Swordsman and casts another quick glance toward the Elf before setting himself in a defensive position, in case whatever it is decides to charge.

 

[DalkonCledwin]

"Might I remind you that whatever that is, it is likely dangerous, and probably better left alone unless we absolutely must go in that direction." Fae'shiel says to Marcus. She then turns to Kazanto and says "Be careful if you decide to burn those cobwebs. I suggest staying as far away from whatever that is so that you can quickly retreat should it charge you once it knows we are here."

[Artur Hawkwing]

Marcus listens, though he doesn't change his stance or the holding of his hammer.

You noted just a minute ago about the amount of noise that wall made opening. And we've not exactly been whispering. And there's glowing orbs of light that it might be able to see, even through that much cobweb. But, a valid point none the less. Question is, do we try to figure out how to close the wall and come back if we need to? If we can't close the wall, then what?

The Ranger doesn't seem quite like he wants to leave, but that Fae'shiel's comment has him thinking, even as his eyes stay trained on the corridor.

 

[Ehdge]

Ehdge stands ready for an attack from the hallway, though he scans the room around him periodically as well.

I think Marcus is right. It seems unlikely that burning the cobwebs would alert anything to our presence more than they already are, and it could foil an attempt by an enemy to surprise us.

 

[InVinoVeritas]

"In that case..."

Kazanto's eyes flash as she emit a guttural sound, causing the webs before her to singe.

Casting spark.

 

[sunshadow21]

It takes a couple of castings of the spell in order to get a sufficient sized flame to spread. The webs in the room burn away pretty quick, but as the flame spread down the hall, it hits fresher webs, and smoke starts to fill the hallway, obscuring your view of the flames' progress. As you watch, suddenly two angry giant spiders emerge from the smoke on the ceiling, and shoot webbing at the first people they see. Both Kazanto and Ehdge get hit squarely with it, getting entangled in the sticky threads.
