[PbP] The Heroes of Silleria

[Thanee]

Alexi moves back towards the still-unconscious priest and the others, who are still standing around his body.

Can anyone get him awake without using a potion? We might need that later for another emergency like this here!

If anyone (-> Foran ) uses a spell to get Xendengalis awake, Alexi will keep the potion stashed. Otherwise, she'll use it, to get the priest back to consciousness.

Kerith breathes a sigh of relief as Michelle finishes off the creature. "Nicely done, Michelle."

Kerith readies a healing potion, if needed, for Xen. "If we can manage to keep our cleric from being knocked out, then we won't need the potions for emergencies.", he observes. [as befits a PC with a sub-par WIS score.]

OOC: I will be out of town until next Monday. It is possible I'll find a computer and check in while I'm gone, but don't bet on it. See you when I get back!

 

[Guilt Puppy]

Oren picks up the dead creature, obviously disgusted.

"Anyone know what this thing is? Because I don't want to end up buying one as a pet by accident, or something..."

(OOC - This takes me back to the first D&D game I ran, where the players, all new to the game, fought a darkmantle in the first session... Many months and levels later, when the game was concluded, I was looking over the sheets and noticed that "squid thing" was still written down under equipment, from when they'd decided it was worth taking along to get it identified )

 

[MerakSpielman]

OOC: I'm back. Obviously.

Oren: A few minutes of brainstorming the abilities and descriptions of creatures from various "adventurer's tales" with your companions seems to indicate that this creature is a "darkmantle."

 

[Imerak]

"Okay, sure, I'll do something," Foran says. He plays a short magical tune on his bagpipes, aiming to heal Xendelagis.

 

[Uriel]

Norynth keeps his blade at hand in case any more Darkmantles are about...Gert and Titus are close at hand on Guard

 

[dpdx]

Kerith, listening to the song of Foran, figures that everything is OK without his potion, and searches the firepits extensively for anything the darkmantles may have left behind when they shuffled off this mortal coil...

 

[Guilt Puppy]

Oren examines the thing a little more... He might try to strip off the skin -- 'or better yet, see if Norynth can' -- and make a nice hat or cloak or something out of it, if it looks like it would be a decent material.

"Well, I'm guessing there's not much in the way of goblins out here -- they'd probably have cleared out or been cleared out by these darkmantles by now. So it's probably safe enough to keep going a bit?"

 

[MerakSpielman]

Foran: Your magic brings Xengendalis back to consciousness, but he is still badly injured.

Norynth: Standing guard.

Kerith: You search the fireplaces hopefully, but are disappointed. The old ashes contain the bones of more recently dead small animals. Looking up, you can see that the chiminys are narrow, and slant sideways through the solid rock to the exterior cliff-face. Nothing larger than a fat pigeon can fit through them, but obviously they represent the primary avenue of food for the darkmantles.

Oren: The darkmantle's skin is thick and rubbery, and you doubt it will be of much use.
