[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7360956, member: 6777052"] "Well... " replied Snappy coyly, "I have ... contacts. In high places." Jeli rolled high on a Wisdom(Insight) check and, acting on a sudden thought, cast [I]Search Previous Threads[/I]. She looked sharply at Snappy and suddenly a lot of things made sense. "I know who you are, Snappy." she said quietly. "I could be." "Your secret is safe with me." "I know." "I know you know," she sighed. The steam canal proved to be a stone channel about 30 feet wide full of rapidly-flowing boiling acid about 10 feet deep, from which a pungent vapour was rising towards a cavernous roof far above. To add to the charm, a flock of 2d6 mephits were swooping about in the air above the canal. The leader of the mephits was called Jak and he hooted mockingly as the party approached along the north bank of the canal. "What are you looking at?" he demanded. "We are looking for a way across the canal," replied Herewulf calmly. "Well there isn't one. Go home." "I suppose you know that a volcano is going to erupt right underneath here, later on today?" "I suppose you know what all this boiling acid is for? Something has to dissolve enough rock to set it off." "You mean, if we stop this canal flowing, Vesuvius won't erupt? And all those people in Pompeii won't get killed?" "Yeah, Good luck with that, puny paladin." Herewulf turned to the others with a questioning look on his face. Could they alter the course of history? Did they have the means to do it? Or should the somehow cross the acid canal and press on to recover the diamond and escape before it was too late? "Oh boy. An old-school alignment test," muttered Od. Jeli looked sternly at the crocodile they knew as Snappy. "Sbk, is this your doing?" "Who me?" "Yes, you." "It might be." "Well," said Herewulf, "My duty is clear. We must try to prevent the eruption and save the town." "I say, we go for the diamond first," declared Sam firmly. "I'm with Sam," said Nord. "You can't change history, it will erupt anyway." Od hummed a catchy tune as he and Jeli made their fateful decisions. How would the final vote go? Did it matter, anyway? And when was second breakfast? "I think," said Jeli slowly, "that ..." [/QUOTE]
