[QUOTE="megamania, post: 3190018, member: 9255"] THE CREATION SCHEMA SEGMENT 292 10/29/06 “THE DUNGEON of CHAMPIONS PART 2: THE GREASED CRAWLING SPACE ROOM” “I know that smell….” Thinks Cedious as he slowly levitates into the hole. “Grease and oil.” “Cedious… what is it. You seemed concerned.” Thinks Pelor with his connection. “The room is ….unusual. It is three feet high, maybe….. 60 feet wide and I don’t know how long it is. I can crawl along the ceiling but most of us will need to crawl through the crap.” “What kind of crap?” “Grease and oil. I suspect it is a part of a trap.” “No! Really?!?” sarcastically answers Talon closing his eyes. This is not his day. His bulky 6+ foot tall frame makes it impossible for him to even kneel within the room. He will need to crawl through the grease. “What can be gained by the use of grease?” Asks Pelor looking at the lizardfolk monks. “Coupled with the lack of walking space- it makes us slow and vulnible.” “Same with anything that comes after us.” Adds Pebbles. (rolled a negative for Dungeoneering) “Grease can catch on fire also. Damn.” Thinks Wall. “I can crawl along the ceiling. Pebbles- your Flight still up?” “Yes, somehow the field stopped it only briefly. I have it back.” “Did anyone keep the rope that was too short for the 200ft fall into the water?” “Got it.” Says Talon with little enthusiasm. He can almost feel the burns already. With his troll lineage, he hates fires and burn damage. “I have an idea. Allow me to tie the rope to me and each of you hold onto it. I’ll fly us through the grease.” “Uh guys….” Says Wall as he reaches the edge of the greased room., “… we are not alone.” A dozen skeletal dire rats treated with permanent spider climb scampers along the ceiling. They come to attack them but Pebbles turns them away and they hide in the dark corners. “More trouble! Hurry up and let’s go! Shouts Cedious looking at the far end of the oddly shaped room. Three holes. Two about a foot in size and one in the middle that leads out that would allow them to exit the room. The two smaller holes begin to glow red and orange. “FIRE IN THE HOLE!” Cedious grabs the towline as Pebbles flies for the exit. Her armor hits and sparks several times crossing. The hole goes up then across. The room ignites just as the last of the group crawls in. “That is one sick bastard!” exclaims Cedious as he thinks about the magical dead rats, crawl space which would have made them fight from their stomach and even for a gnome or halfling, the grease would have made it very hard to keep one’s footing. Then the igniting of the grease. Pelor turns and stares at the lizardfolk leader. “Help me help my friends.” “If they are worthy they will do well.” “How do you know this?” “The builders were not savages. If they are worthy they will live.” Pelor stares with anger at the leader. “Guys… be careful.” [/QUOTE]
