Part 1: The Forgotten Forge (Knight Otu judging) [Concluded]

[Velmont]

"We are in an old human construction. There is nothing natural. Put a wall that form a circle and some stairs in the center and you will never see the stairs, as you will ever stay at the edge. Basic of dungeonneering. And what noise are you talking about?" he tells but decide to ask no more questions as he sees Stulgar meaningless sign. He draws his shield and morningstar and wait.

"It sounds like a whole bunch of insects emerging from the northern wall!" Siobhan points it out, "They are just natural creatures in this environment, but that does not mean they wish us no harm...and I fear conventional weapons may not be effective on a swarm of ants or the like. We may wish to regroup to the higher ground and ready some sort of trap for them when they come our way, yes?"

Ahki, bringing up the rear, hears nothing. He frowns and calls back "Retreat? Because of a couple of bugs? Are we frightened noblewomen now that we run screaming because of a spider? Show them the bottom of your shoe and press on!"

"Ready torches, lads," Mordin's voice is soft but firm. "I do be thinkin' bugs like fire a lot less than we do."

"It's true that they don't like the light, but in the end, they are just animals. If we back off for a while after stirring them, they may lose interest, and then we won't have to kill them and risk danger in the process--Kharas, I fear your weapon will be of little use...Shall we back up and wait for them to pass?"

A dark carpet slides across the dusty floor and moves toward you. No, not a carpet, but a mass of squirming, chittering, shiny black beetles that swarm toward you with hungry purpose.

The bugs are currently at the edge of your vision 60' away. They encompass an area approx. 20ft wide and are heading directly for the group. Map to come when I have the chance to work on it.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Siobhan has nothing that can harm this swarm.*

"Come on guys--let's retreat and wait for them to go away? They're just bugs. They can't stay stirred up in a frenzy forever."

*If people seem to agree, she heads back the way they came, figuring the bugs can't climb.*

 

[Bront]

Stulgar pulls out his alchemist fire and tosses it at the bugs.

OOC: Alchemist fire is an area of effect thing right? Should work.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Yeah, but that's just going to make them angry! )

 

[Erekose13]

ooc: and you've got to have a really good arm to throw it 60ft.

 

[Velmont]

"My weapon will be..." With his dwarven vision, he see the horde of insect coming toward him... "damned useless." he sheets back his weapon and think for a moment that the best thing to do is Siobhan suggestion, and try to climb back a bit teh way they just came.
