THE DUNGEON: (1) Out of Whistle

[GoldenEagle]

having gathered up his things and Kazareen's taklinn walks with purpose towards Aska's room...his maul in one hand and Kaz (by the back of the belt) in the other, "Wake up, something's rong...I heard a scream"

OOC: And suddenly things get a bit scarier... So... the 'thing' hovering over the form... was it in the dream? Or is it real, and is there a cocoon here in the room as well?

 

[Uriel]

OoC: No Thing, no Coccoon, no Takote :O
It's suppossed to be scary (hopefully), after all...you guys are still in the 'Spooky House of Fun'.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Aska shreaks at the sight of the cocoon on her. Weaver's Grace! It was trying to Mummify me. Oh that you Jack. I'd be dead if not for you. She gives the Atomie a quick hug. She gets up and quickly dresses as she can hear the men coming in the room.

Kazareen simply lets himself be picked up. He's so used to being thought of as luggage that is normal to him at this point. I'll see if there is anything in the area. He says as they enter the room and casts Detect Magic.

 

[LazarusLong42]

Kael quickly unlocks the door and rushes into the hallway, loosing his spear in case there is also an attack from the outside. "Taklinn, Kaz... what in hells is going on out here? Takote is gone--completely gone, he couldn't have left the room. Is anyone else missing?"

 

[Argent Silvermage]

I'm not sure whats happening, but I'll bet our hosts have turned into a form of undead and they are trying to eat us. Kaz says as if it were nothing abnormal about it.

 

[Uriel]

All

As you enter the hallway, a sicekning feeling assails you , causing
Aska and Kaz to stagger for a second, as if there were suddenly a
house dropped on you then it passes, leaving you shaky.

<Aska and Kaz are nauseated and a bit 'disturbed'. They suffer a -2 on all Concentration checks and have taken 13 HP of subdual damage. Kaz's Detect Magic detects a strong,yet undetermined Enchantment>

The others do not feel this effect.

The hallway itself has changed, Not only does it look as if nobody had lived there for ages, but there are dissicated masses along the walls and ceilings that look suspiciously like withered cocooned bodies. None of the bodies seem to have anything magical about them, and there do seem to be an aweful lot of bodies...
The Hall seems to stretch forever, with the ends going off into the gloom.
A faint *'creaking* can be heard. as if the whole of the Hall were one of those great swaying rope/plank bridges that spans the gorge back in Whistle, or elsewhere that you have been prior to entering the Dungeon.
Needless to say, things are not as they were.


Anal spelling edit...

"let's find that old man; NOW. he will pay for this"

 

[Uriel]

Jack Lobbins flies about, bristling with nervous energy and then says Where's Mister Takote..'

 

[LazarusLong42]

Kael lays a hand on Taklinn's shoulder. "Friend dwarf, knowing this place, I suspect we'll find the old man and his family long gone. I hope I'm wrong... but I'm willing to bet this has nothing to do with them.

"Where indeed, Jack," says Kael. "I think you might all want to come into our room for a moment... there's something you should see. Well, a number of things you should see, but one in particular. It's either a way out, or a way for other things to get *in*.

"I'm not quite certain which."
