The Scattered Ones

[Morbidity]

Namfoodle realises that he has forgotten how many spells he has remaining, and racks his brains to remember, converting each one to healing as he recalls that he has it.

Heal self first then others in order of remaining injury...

OOC: Have access again now in Manhattan! BTW, not to rub it in more or anything, but GenCon rocked

Ahh Namfoodle's disguise spell is clearly working quite well ... excellent imitation of Amaryllis! So GenCon rocked did it? Searching out template for great, red wyrm ... know I have it here somewhere!

I’m assuming that everyone is searching the room. There’s about 60 squares worth of stuff. There’s 5 of you … so I’ll assume it takes you about 12 minutes to do.

You find:
Lots of alchemy stuff: iron filings, alum, pure vinegar, holy water, weak acids, bases, all manner of other concoctions which Amaryllis recognises. Containers of insects, worms, anatomical bits of various creatures including cat’s tongue, bat ears and strips of the intestine of a destrachan. Basically lots and lots of raw materials for alchemy! There’s also a set of glass jars containing: 7 pearls valued at 100gp each, 200gp worth of ruby dust, 90gp worth of jade dust, 350gp worth of diamond dust, 400gp worth of amber dust.

As Neblin (randomly chosen b/c he hasn’t posted in ages despite promising on numerous occassions and it’s really annoying me) opens a container he discovers (emailed to Neblin since no one else knows yet) … please make a fort save. Neblin if you haven’t posted by tomorrow, I will make the fort save for you.

Oh and everyone may as well roll initiative at this point and let me know where abouts in the room you are. If I have time I will do an Excel map and send it.

 

[Amaryllis]

Amaryllis has an initiative of 21.

Tomas speaks to Namfoodle.


"We were ambushed by some sort of dwarf-rat or man-rat
upstairs. Is there anything that could happen to us if we were
wounded by them? Is there anything here that might help stopping diseases that they might have? Big rats..."

<shudders>

A half-hour? That's not all that long. Why not have a good look.

Hmmmm if Namfoodle makes a knowledge (Namfoodle decide what’s most appropriate) check of over 15 then he remembers that belladonna is useful, then I’ll rule that Amaryllis’ alchemy check of 17 allows her to identify the single sprig of belladonna present and hand it over. If this happens then make a fort save to rid yourself of lycanthropy. Since belladonna is a poison (Amaryllis you may or may not choose to tell Tomas this) make another fort save to avoid being poisoned.

 

[Amaryllis]

Amaryllis passes on whatever she knows about belladonna.

Emailed everyone the map, so please post where you are and then I’ll randomly decide where Neblin and his box of goodies was … that way people can’t have their search area influenced by the fact that Neblin just found something nasty.

To summarise b/c timelines are getting a bit tricky here:

You’ve all just gone downstairs to the second level underground. Tomas has lit a lantern, which has a 30ft radius. I’m therefore assuming that either Tomas is in the centre of the room holding it, or he has placed the lantern on the floor in the centre of the room, so that it is fully illuminated.

Namfoodle has cured as many people as he can/wants to. Presume you will work this out when you get back to Oz, let me know and let everyone know the addition to their hit points. In the meantime I’ll assume that you’ve got extra hit points and Amaryllis has extra hit points.

You’ve arrived at the storeroom and a quick look determined that it was full of alchemy stores, which you are now having a more thorough though not extensive look through. Tomas suddenly thinks that maybe there is something here to cure the Lycanthropy that he thinks he may have contracted. If Namfoodle knows that Belladonna will help, then Amaryllis will find some and tell Tomas of the options it presents … possible cure with possible poisoning.

Towards the end of the search, Neblin opens a box and then suddenly gets turned into a rather nice garden ornament …. Sorry the thought of a stone gnome statue was too good a joke not to use.
(OOC: Oops. He rolled the 3 on his fort save all on his own … [Nasty DM laugh] … highly infrequent posting is no longer an issue [/Nasty DM laugh] Actually I don’t think I’m cut out to be a rat bastard DM as I’m actually quite upset that I’ve turned one of you into a garden ornament.)
Spot checks everyone to see if you saw this occur … otherwise you will still be surprised next round.

 

[Amaryllis]

Spot check = 15. Amaryllis is presumably near the alchemy stores. If these are spread out, I'll be in D10 (assuming this is in the light).

 

[Hollowtree]

Tomas' initiative:-

3 + 2 = 5. Oops!

Tomas will leave the lantern on the floor, or hanging from the ceiling if there's a hook. An alternative would be to light some torches. Any cressets on the walls?

[OOC: Flying out on Monday. Get to NYC on Tuesday pm. Hopefully will be able to take the M60 out of La Guardia and get to Dan and Lyria's at a sane hour!]

 

[Amaryllis]

Spot check 6
Initiative 15

[OOC: it was interesting living through the worst blackout in US history! Everyone just poured on to the street and the traffic lights were out - slight choas. We actually got our power back in 24 hours, but some of Manhattan took 48 hours. Look forward to seeing Rob.]

 

[Amaryllis]

To avoid any confusion, the most recent post by me was actually Dorin!

 

[Morbidity]

Ahhh I did wonder. Now we just need Namfoodle to post and we can be off and running.
