[QUOTE="megamania, post: 2601780, member: 9255"] EBERRON 09/17/05 SEGMENT 120 “Traps and Poisons” Once more they find themselves within the 15x15x75-foot hallway. Cedious searches for traps while the others suggest stopping and resting. As Cedious makes his way across the room he misses a seeing a trigger and steps on the footpad. “uh-oh!” and suddenly a lone arrow fires out of a hole that didn’t exist a moment before. The arrow strikes him. He turns and can not find the portal. It is hidden by an illusion much like the walls within the main rooms. There is icor on the shaft but he feels okay. However, Vale looks pale. “I need … to sit down and …rest.” And the cleric slides down the wall and plops down almost unconscience. The druid goes to him and notes his joints look swollen and red. “Did he get hit by a trap or something we missed?” “The swarm of large white and orange ants?” suggests Sharshek. Looking at their wounds, each insect bite is red but nearly as swollen. Taskerdoo can not identify the sickness but knows it is bad. Black sands is mildly concerned. His wounds from the golem still are raw and the cleric promised to fix him when next they rested. “Is he going to die?” “Black sands …..” Taskerdoo cuts himself off before yelling at the ½ giant. “I don’t have a spell or ability to treat him now. Once I rest we can treat him …and you.” “Better.” Mumbles the ½ giant as he looks into his bag and his macabre collection of trophies. They rest and then try to heal Vale. “I think I know what this is.” “Can it be fixed?” “He is not a warforged Cedious. But yes, I can help him.” It takes much of the day and lots of treatment and attention but Vale seems better that night. The swelling has gone down and his breathing is more regular. Whenever he is not treating Vale, Taskerdoo studies his notes and map of the trap. A pattern is forming but he can’t place it. So close yet so far away. Vale awakens but is weak. Another night is spent resting. The next day he is ready and Black sands is impatient to go so he doesn’t have the cleric look at his wounds. Cedious studies the door and looks back. “What will it be THIS time?” Not giving Taskerdoo a chance to answer, Cedious opens the door. “You have to be kidding” Cedious says as he stares into the dark room.
