The Underdark Primeval [IC]

[silentspace]

In a farming cavern on the outskirst of Eartheart...

Dargo roars at the retreating rats. Finding himself out of healing potions, he asks the warrior. “They need healing . . . do you have any healing for them?”

Morph casts Longstrider on himself [Adjusted Speed: 25 ft.], and begins to move around the pond. “I can heal wounds, let me have a look!” he calls out. [The dwarves are bleeding to death. Morph will arrive in two rounds, running around the pond in two straight-line runs. He will be able to adminster aid on the third round.]

The dwarf bodyguard looks at Dargo in bewilderment, then at the retreating rats, then at his Lady. He looks like he wants to give chase, but seems torn, uncertain what to do. Then he runs to the elderly lady, dropping his axe, and begins administering first aid. He doesn’t look like he’s very good at it. He cries out loudly "Help! somebody help!"

OOC - Is there a little window in the door that Denasa can see out of? Is there a lock on this side or is there just a bar or latch on the other?

Morph continues to run as fast as he can. (I assume that I am a little behind the others time wise as he continues to run.)

OOC: The cell is made of closely-fitted stone. The door is made of iron bars. There are no other windows. The lock is on the outside of the door. The corridor outside the cell is stone. All the cells are on the same side. There are cells adjacent to you on either side, though you can't see the inhabitants.

"I'm leaving, you two can come, but you, dwarf, will stay!" Denasa snaps.

*Turning her attention to the door, she places her palm on it at about her best approximation of where the lock is on the other side. Flexing her hand, she mutters, "Ak-ash!" in harsh voice.*

[OOC - Using acid splash to try to eat through the door and get to the lock]

Dargo Golden Half-Deep Dragon Fighter/Ranger [Gold Dwarf Base]

Dargo knew that he hinself had no healing skill. The last time he had tried he had made it worse and he had missed two days of patrol because of it. Watching the guard try and apply first aid reminded him of himself.

"Easy, good dwarf," Dargo said, "Help is on the way, don't make things worse. Does either the maid or the lady here have any potions or salves on them?"

As Denasa pulls away from the old dwarf, he smiles sheepishly "No, no, you don't understand, I'm your friend, don't you see? I'll be much nicer to you than those two! Those two caused you trouble, no? Those two don't know how to treat a pretty flower such as yourself, not like I do! That's a fact as solid as stone, as far as I can see. Come back here, why don't you? Come sit next to Bandon." He pats the mattress next to him.

At the lock, Denasa fires a shot of acid, which has a noticeable, though small, effect on the lock. It looks like it will take many more shots of acid to eat away at the lock. She's not sure how many, but she's pretty sure it will take, at the very least, ten more spells.

To her dismay, Denasa sees the acid drip down the metal bars to the floor, discoloring the iron and stone along the way.

*Denasa will indeed use ten more spells, five more zeroth level slot, and then burn five more of her first level slots on acid splash as well.*

"I don't think so, Bandon," Denasa says icily, turning her back on him and continuing to eat through the door with her magic.

 

[silentspace]

Denasa continues to cast more acid spells, slowly but surely digging through the iron. [Burned through ten more spells.] Thick acid smoke is filling the air, and the bars and floor are burned with it. The metal casing of the lock is eaten through, and the lock mechanism is melting away. Now that she can see the mechanism, Denasa has a much better idea of what she needs to burn through. It will take three, maybe four more spells to dissolve the lock completely.

The dwarf looks on in alarm. “You’re a mage?!! And they locked you up here, in the common cells? Didn’t they find a component pouch on you? What fools! This is my lucky day! Take me with you, pretty flower, you’ll need me!” Bandon’s face is filled with excitement.

There are noises, calls and shouts, coming from the surrounding cells. The nearby prisoners are starting to smell the acid smoke.

*Dessa will burn through four more spells (using up her 1st level slots) to burn through the locks.*

"You be quiet, all of you!" she snarls to Bandon and the other prisoners indiscriminately. Tucking Legs' cage up under her arm, she steps back. "You, Rogoth right? Kick that door open, we're leaving! Solli, isn't it? We're finding our stuff and then we're getting out of here, and anyone that gets in my way is going to get burned!"
