The Bold Adventures of Poins--In the Woods!

Liev Sibin, human sorcerer

Liev breathes deep as his body knits together from Devon's spell.

"Thanks, Dev. I definitely needed that," he says. The short young man retrieves his shortspear and stows it on the side of his backpack, then makes sure his crossbow is once again loaded.

When he hears the skittering sounds, he cries out "I've officially learned my lesson: no opening nasty demon jars. I definitely vote with Hemaor this time to leave well enough alone."

Once his gear is reloaded and secured, Liev picks his way through rotting body bits and jar pieces. Lesson or no, he still seems curious enough to look for anything he might pocket if it has worth.

 

[Rhialto]

ooc: I hesitate to ask, but, are they the same noises the other jars were making?

OOC: Yep. Like fingers idly clawing at clay.

IC:

Liev checking the various disgusting remains of the zombies discovers, much to his distaste, that the Azerai apparently felt no urge to leave valuables on the undead they stuffed into jars.

Liev Sibin, human sorcerer

Liev drops a cold, severed limb and his nose scrunches as he wipes his hands clean.

"All that, and they didn't have the decency to throw any shiny into the jars. What a waste," he mutters.

To the rest of the party, he says "So I guess at some point we have to try to get through that door, but here's the thing: this has been a long, taxing day. There was the almost being sacrificed to a goblin god, the escape, the giant spiders, the tree city, the giant bat, the sudden call to save the world, more giant bat, then this zombie mess. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm all for setting up camp and turning in for the night. I've used up nearly all my tricks, and I won't be able to do many more without a solid night's sleep.

"According to our benefactors, this entrance is the secret one, so we shouldn't have the goblin hordes piling in on us if we stay here. Or, if we want a little less decaying corpse smell with our sleep, we can head back out to the woods and re-enter in the morning. What do you think?"

 

[RillianPA]

"Well, I wouldnt mind a days rest, and I think this secret entrance is a good spot. However, I do think we should finish off the last 2 zombies. If Hemaor, his wolf and I stand around one of the jars, and attack as soon as Liev breaks it with his spear, we should get 3 good attacks at a prone zombie. If we are careful, we should be able to clean this up without any problem. After that, we should probably make some effort to at least clear a space, maybe we can bury the bodies outside?"

 

[Legend]

Norani sighs. "I don't care for the smell more than anybody else, but I think we'd be better off if we camp here for the night."

 

[Brain]

"Yes, first things first. Let's finish with these jar creatures and be done with them."

Hemaor stands near an unbroken jar, readying his axe to split skulls.

Liev Sibin

Unconsciously moving a hand to the place where his wound so recently was, Liev says, "I ... guess that's a plan." He moves up to one of the jars cautiously. Aiming so as not to accidentally knock one jar into the other, Liev lifts his shortspear. With Hemaor, Marcus, and the wolf in position, he jabs at his target jar, immediately retreating behind the fighters when it breaks open.

 

[Legend]

Norani will keep his distance and attempt to shoot arrows at them.

"Who knows, maybe I'll even hit one this time..."

 

[Rhialto]

Liev tips over the first jar, after which Marcus and Heamor slice at the zombie, easily chopping it to ribbons, a course of action that is repeated at the second jar. The pair now have a room free of any ambulary zombies, though the rotting remains of non-ambulary ones are quite prevalent.

Liev Sibin

Liev pulls his shirt up to cover his nose.

"I don't suppose anyone has a nifty spell to clean a room?" he quips, kicking some of the remains toward the hole in the wall.
