THE DUNGEON: (1) Out of Whistle

[Uriel]

Takote swings, hitting once < 6 HP> and missing with his second attack.

Kaz' Acid Arrow strikes the beast <5HP>; as well, the Acid Arrow from the first attack comtinues to burn <4HP>.

Aska breaks from combat...the Beast <AoOp> anticipates her move, and Takote and Taklinn watch in sickened Horror as it bites out, catching her and sinking it's fangs deep into her shoulder < Rolled a '20', confirmed Crit, 22HP damage,sorry>.
Aska tears away, bleeding profusely from the wound.

Taklinn, enraged by the attack on his friend, hits with his hammer <connecting for 10HP>, though he misses with his second attack.

The Beast hisses, it's mouth agape and falls with a solid *THUD* at the feet of Taklinn and Kakita Takote. Black blood oozes from it's wounds, and it seems that Taklinn broke several of it's ribs with his attacks.Acid still burbles and hisses, asit works it's way deeper, burning away the flesh of th Beast, leaving a sickening sweet burning smell in the air.
Taklinn takes a moment to calm, the rage seething yet inside him.
Aska is sorely wounded, though she is able to get to her feet.
There seem to be no more of the Beasts about.

Kaz Leans on his Hoopak and sighs. That was nasty. Aska are you OK? I'm no healer but if there is anything I can do for you just ask. Kaz will look to see if he can back track the beast to where it came from. (maybe find it's lair.)

 

[Uriel]

Aska casts CMW on herself <14HP restored>.
Kaz begins to look for the Tracks of the Beast, and then he gets sidetracked noting just how many of the smaller rocks look like animals...or broken up pieces of larger rocks that may have once been animals.

Taklinn, his Forester's training showing through, picks up what was most likely the track of the Beast's most recent path.

The trail does not go far, perhaps a hundred yards of so, ending in a small cleft in the side of a rocky hill. A foul smell eminates from within, the pungeant smell of a Lair long inhabited.

OoC:Let me know what Healing the rest of the group is seeing to prior to exploring the Lair, or just bedding down etc...

 

[Argent Silvermage]

[OOC: Ron you devil. I almost missed the connection there!]
Kaz suddenly looks around to his friends. Um.... I think there may be a Cockatrice or Medusa around.

 

[Sixchan]

OOC: This isn't the Cave from the Holy Grail, is it?

Aska looks in the direction of the cave, and then back to the others. "Oh, no. You people are mad if you are going to go down there. We have a parcel to deliver, and a lot of money to collect. Not long ago, we were attacked by something from there, and we're not exactly in our best condition to go galavanting around on mini-adventures. We should either get some proper rest here, or find somewhere a little less dangerous, and forget all about this hole in the ground."

 

[Uriel]

OoC:So,you intrepid adventurers are afraid of a little cave? Let me know if you want to enter, move on.
Argent, close, but no Cigar...

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Kazareen will start toward the cave mouth. on the way he will cast Mage Armor on himself.

 

[Chauzu]

"Normally I would make a suggestion to move on, but I doubt we will be safe with creatures like this roaming around."

Takote will start towards the cave with Kaz.

 

[Sixchan]

"Ugh. Fine. But you people are raving lunatics." Aska follows the others down into the cave.
