The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter IV

Teleri shoulder's her bow and fishes around for her other weapons, wiping them dry as possible. The she-elf chuckles, giddy with the euphoria of simply being alive. "Aye, all in one piece, more or less," she says, blinking as she realizes Chasity is wounded. "Here, sit down, you're hurt," she says, leading the paladin to a relatively dry spot and waits for Ayden to heal Chasity.

Calenthang gives a sigh of indignation as Chastity takes the head clean off of Tyrinth.
Better to keep this blade unbespattered with serpent gore. I have a better use for you... he sheaths his sword and pats it happily, a smile returning to his face.
He wanders over to where the group is gathered around Chastity and offers his admiration.
"Well done as always, friend Chastity," he directs to the young paladin with an added nod of his head.
 

Teleri grins again, the old, sneaky humor returning. "The look on that snake's face when you took her head was priceless," she said. "Your god and ancestors are proud of you today, I think." she added.
 

OoC: Ayden was able to to heal Chastity fully with 2 charges of the wand, but I'll be nice and let it happen after this ;)

One last pang of pain wracks Chastity's body as Tyrinth's acidic arrow dissolves into nothingness. (3 damage) Suffice it to say, the paladin is quite glad the spell didn't last much longer.

Dunstand and Sielwoodan comb the room looking for anything out of the ordinary or at least something valuable. Alas, they turn up nothing. If this area was not Tyrinth's lair or where she hid her treasure, it must still be hidden somewhere in these caverns.

Unexplorered areas still exist branching from this cavern south and west. The whirlpool room is still to the east as well.

"Friend Ayden, before you use more valuable charges on that wand, I want you to know that I have one healing spell memorized. I like to save it, of course, in case I need to cast it on you." Drogo smiles.

"In any case, it looks like the day is not over. This was hopefully the most dangerous enemy we might encounter down here. But I mind still broods on that horrible scream we heard earlier. We can but hope we are still able to help that unfortunate girl, or whomever it was."

Drogo then sends his remaining crocodile West, hoping to get a few seconds of exploration out of it before it disapears.
 

Drogo sends the croc down the west cavern, and it explores there for an additional minute before Drogo realizes his link with it has been severed as it's time has run out. No sounds of battle between it and another creature were heard.

Picking up his tri-cornered hat, Andreas tips the water out of it and places it firmly back on his head.

"Right, I'm ready to go. Shall we follow the crocodile?"
 


Chastity staggers as her blow takes off the naga's head, and then as the pain hits her full force. "Ai, Torm," she breathes. She lets Teleri lead her to a dry spot and settles back gingerly to care for her blade as best she can in the damp.

At the others' concern, she shakes her head roughly. "I will heal well enough with this magic, but the naga--she had no chance, no choice. By all that is holy, I wish I had not lost myself. She deserved an offer of redemption." Her eyes hold a look of bleak contemplation as she stands and follows the others.
 

Dunstand grins at Sielwoodan’s obvious sarcasm and hummers the elf by making a pointless search of the decapitated serpent.

After giving the naga a last kick, he retrieves his daggers and lantern.
Tucking his daggers back in his sheaths he shacks out the lantern.
“I hope one of you has a second source of light, because this thing won’t be working any time soon, unless one of you has a ‘Spell spel Dry Wick’.”

Dunstand frowns at the overt blade.
“I thank you for the blade, but I think ill decline, I’m sure there is someone in the group that can put it to better use.”

“I do favor light blades but only go for a sword as a last resort. I favor my daggers that way I don’t have to be in the forefront of the battle.”
With a grin towards Sielwoodan he ads,
“That’s just the way sneaky rogues like me like to fight, a dagger in the back is better than a sword in the gut.”

Turning back to Aydan with a sleight bow,
“Still I thank you for this sign of trust, I know it can’t be easy offering a fine blade like that to a stranger. I’m not sure that I would, if the places where reversed, but you are a better man than me, and I can see why the rest of the group looks at you for guidance.”
