The Whispering Cairn (Team Diamond Lake) - IC

[HolyMan]

Aria's weird bile bomb burst onto the swarm killing some of the creatures. As the puddle hisses and bubbles on the stone floor it serves more to break up the swarm and scare off the rest of them.

The group watches as the mass of beetles heads back for the hole they came from leaving a few behind to scatter around (in all directions) to cause any harm.

[sblock=OOC] Room is now clear of threats. Acid splash is good but at range 30' you would be in range to be counter attacked. But instead treated them as fleeing even though it is more a - you broke up the swarm and the others were full of slasher so they went home. [/sblock]

Aria falls to her knees and coughs, then drags her sleeve across her mouth as tears start to flow from her eyes.

"That was...the most disgusting thing...I've ever seen," she whispers. "And it was ME."

Galyne breaths a sigh of relief as the insects disperse. Although he will not admit it to anyone, the swarm scared him. Gathering his wits together he says "Come on quick. Lets try to free Jules before they regroup."

Galyne moves rapidly back down the stairs going to the sarcophagus. Once there he tries to move it back to the yellow lantern.

 

[HolyMan]

The sarcophagus points to the new metal tube in the indigo alcove. It doesn't budge just like it wouldn't move when it pointed to the stone tube.

After careful thought everyone remembers it only moved when the stone tube wasn't up. Once the stone tube headed down it moved and stopped once the metal tube came up.

 

[fireinthedust]

Eldariel remembers the buttons on the tube that were pressed by Jules earlier (I believe he was next to Jules when the rogue went down, so can reasonably guess). Let's send this tube down. Perhaps Jules will come up through the one he was in earlier. I wonder if he can hear me now...

ooc: does the tube connect to the lower level ie: if I yell down there, is it going to go anywhere? Or does it look like we can even just slide down there without pressing buttons? OR do we need to send this one down to get him back up?

If I can just yell: Jules! Can you hear me? We're sending this tube down. Get to one of them so we can pull you back up.

If not: Eldariel presses the buttons and sends the tube down.

 

[ghostcat]

Galyne waits until Eldariel send the tube down before attempting to turn the sarcophagus. This time he moves it one click and wait to see if a tube comes up.

OOC: HM - can you let me know if I hear anythign?

 

[HolyMan]

[sblock=OOC] Jules will not hear anything, sorry. The tube that is up is located in the indigo alcove and is made of metal. The tube Jules descended in was made of stone and located in the yellow lantern alcove. (50+feet away). But it is ok to yell down just in case.

Will update tomorrow afternoon if the group is going to send this metal tube down and then turn the sarcophagus.[/sblock]

 

[renau1g]

OOC: Did the group send down the tube?

 

[HolyMan]

[sblock=OOC]I will update tonight as that seems to be what they wish to do.

But before that Jules will need to make one more Will save as I have figured he was down there at least a couple minutes.

One more save and I will update when I get back from running errands.[/sblock]
