Marcus - Take two...

As his bolt sailed wide and hit the cabinet beside the swirling mass of rags, Marcus' first instinct was to summon the Weave to his aide to strike the creature, but as his mind raced through the spells in the span of a heartbeat, he knew that none would work on this manner of foe.

Dropping the torch to his side, being careful not to burn Poto's canine companion, Marcus reloaded the crossbow as quickly as he could mentally willing his fingers to stop shaking so much in the process.

(OOC: Reload and fire as quickly as he can)

Ian

"Ach! Once when I was a lad, I got into an argument with me shoes...but twere nothing like this!" Ian reminisces while slashing at the cloth again.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Griswald gives a hearty laugh at Ian's statement as he took another swipe at the ragged rags.

 

[ToddSchumacher]

Ian steps up and manages to connect and slice another chunk off of the rags.

Griswald is less efective this round (misses).

The rags went after Poto again, but severly damaged, its attempts remain thwarted. (misses)

Poto moves back and Jinx moves to a better position, growles, and leaps and grabs on with his teeth and pulls, and whipping from side to side, finishes the creature off.

Actions?

 

[Festy_Dog]

"Aye, good job Jinx, good job," Griswald says, and proceeds to give the room a closer inspection.

Poto

"Whew. Sorry boys. I panicked a bit there. I shouldn't have pulled back. I only have one real healing spell prepared, and I'm not actually in a bad enough way to justify using it on myself at this point. I'm sure we'll encounter some tougher foes than crazy rags. Next thing you know we'll meet a berserking overcoat! "Poto chuckles at his own joke. "Anyway, good dog, Jinx." Poto pats the dog on the head affectionately.

"Marcus, just for the record, firing your crossbow into a melee probably isn't a good idea. My aunt's friend was killed by an errant arrow of that type. Just keep the torch up and guard the rear. Or be ready to jump in where needed. That would be my opinion about such matters anyway."

"What an odd creation. " Poto will poke at the rags with his sickle, then proceed to examine the pulley.

Treasure!!

Searching the upright table, it has an alchemist's lab as well as the following: 5 empty glass flasks, 6 flasks of red powder, 3 flasks of hardened sludge, 2 flasks of acid, 20 tindertwigs, and a 5-inch-long steel rod that has notches carved into one end and the gnome rune for 'U' carved into the other.

On the floor where the rags used to be is a tanglefoot bag.

Searching the cabinet, it holds a few alchemical items: 3 flasks of alchemist's fire, 4 vials of antitoxin, 2 smokesticks, 8 sunrods, a thunderstone, and a vial containing a clear liquid.

 

[Manzanita]

"Hey, now we're talking. We gnomes are the original alchemist's you know."

Poto will help himself to the following (assuming no one objects),
2 sunrods, one vial of antitoxin, 5 tindertwigs, a flask of alchemist fire, and a smokestick.

As the bolt locked into place, Marcus raised the crossbow as quickly as he could, only to discover that his companions had already shattered whatever magic was holding the creature together.

Sighing as he lowered the weapon, Marcus listened as Poto spoke of the hazards of firing the crossbow into the thick of things and felt as if all could see the embarrassment etched upon his face.

"I am sorry all for my inability to help more. If we had the time to spare, I could learn spells that would be of usage should we encounter other animations such as this one."

As the group pondered his words, they explored the shelves in around them and as the cache of items was discovered, Marcus explored the "U" stick closely.

"Since the doors have all been marked with letters, do you think perhaps the keys to open them would be engraved in a similar manner? If so, then it seems fate has decided which door we have the ability to open first."

Sliding the key into his belt pouch, Marcus slowly looked over the items and selected the ones that he felt he could use to help the others out the most.

OOC: Marcus will take 2 sunrods, 1 vial of acid, 1 vial of antitoxin, 5 tindertwigs, 1 flask of alchemist fire and the tanglefoot bag. If no one objects that is..

 

[Festy_Dog]

"Aye, I like the look o' this one," Griswald says as he picks up the second vial of acid, "Thats all I need I'd reckon. Dunno what most a' that other stuff is."
