TiCaudata's Mish Mash Campaign

[worthley]

Ava makes her way into the room. "Let me know if you find any traps before you try to disarm it." Ava then keeps her gaze on the odd statue.
[sblock=ooc]will cast resistance on Angrod if a trap is found[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

Angrod steps into the room once more, with Ava and Kote closely behind him. As soon as he crosses the threshold, the eyes of the sarcophagus' eyes pop open to emit an eerie green fire and the head flies towards them in attack!

Angrod jumps into action and lets loose an arrow. The arrow sinks into the head's left eye and the head quickly falls to the ground with a sickly splat. Dead.
[sblock=oc]Initiative:

Angrod 23
Head 21
Kote 19
Logan 10
Ava 4

I got Di's action from him.

Angrod attacks 17+ hit, 7 damage, it's dead.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

"Wow!" Angrod exclaims. "Sorry... Umm... I guess that was my fault. I didn't think anything was in here. It must have, uh, not seen me?" The rising tone at the end of the last sentence indicates the clear question in the elf's tone.
[sblock=OOC]If nothing else attacks, proceed with the search as outlined.[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

A detailed search of the room turns up nothing. At the bottom of the now headless sarcophagus, however, reveals a simple ring in a pile of dust.

Darting back into the room after hearing the commotion, Logan exclaims, "What happened?!"

 

[o3caudata]

"Angrod has continued his usefulness." Kote notes.

"I don't believe i've ever seen one of those creatures...." he continues, examining the statue and obviously contemplating the creature.

[sblock=oc]Do i know what the creature is? Does the statue look like something i know anything about?[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

[sblock=o3]The creature is a vargouille, a minor evil outsider. Normally, they are slightly larger than a human head, this specimen is smaller. They commonly live in graveyards and other homes of the dead.[/sblock]

 

[worthley]

Ava, somewhat shocked by the quick reaction by the elf. "Good shot. We should probably keep moving. Let's check out the next door." She then begins to make her way to the nothern door.

 

[o3caudata]

As he walks with the group, Kote exclaims "A vargouille!!! Yes that's what it is. Of course. They're quite common actually. Around cemeteries and other areas the dead tend to frequent. A bit small as i recall, but not out of the ordinary. It would appear that that room at least served as some type of burial area. Perhaps this whole structure is some kind of tomb..."

 

[Dichotomy]

Angrod pockets the ring found in the dust. While the elf doesn't try to hide it, he doesn't call attention to it either.

In response to the compliments of Kote and Ava, the elf's face turns a bit red, but he says nothing.

Angrod coughs and moves toward the northern door. "A tomb? Huh..."
[sblock=Ti]That means treasure! Maybe my fortunes are turning.[/sblock]
