Wildwood Red in Tooth and Claw II [IC]

[Pyrex]

Weylan shakes is head after looking down the tunnel, "Looks like we won't easily or safely make it down these tunnels. Perhaps we should investigate the other large tunnel off the bottom of the shaft first."

 

[Voidrazor]

NR4ZN hands the vials back to Thelso. "The liquid resembles mercury, although it could quite easily have vastly different properties. If we are to return to the other tunnel, perhaps I should lead at the edge of Lord Weylan's light. With luck, I should be able to absorb the brunt of any rodent attacks."

 

[Shayuri]

"Rats," Inamar says with disgust. "You think the druid went into the -rat- cave?"

She sighs a long-suffering sigh and flaps a hand in assent.

"Fine...if you and the...and Enzee go first, I can follow right behind and see them coming before they come into the light."

"Ennar I believe that both of these vials are magical in nature..I will hold onto these for further study when we are out of this place. As for the larger tunnel...I beleive we have no choice in this matter. Being as it would be as Weylan said a difficult task to travel these tunnels..." Pausing a moment to listen to Inamar speak " Then I shall follow in the rear, lending cover with my crossbow and healing if it will be needed."

 

[Pyrex]

Weylan nods, taking a moment to meditate and regain focus while Ennar takes the lead back toward the central chamber and then down the other tunnel.

 

[Voadam]

The party heads back and takes the splitting corridor towards where Inamar heard the rat squeaking and Thelso smelled wet earth instead of heading back towards the first side tunnel with the chorus of a chittering rat horde. The long, curving hallway slowly widens until a large room lies before you. The ground grows soft and muddy underfoot, and the air is very humid. It is difficult to determine the actual shape or size of this room, as numerous mud walls criss-cross the area. This chamber appears chaotic and mazelike, with numerous small passages. Some of the mud walls stretch fully from ceiling to floor, while others have several small gaps. A handful of walls run only a few feet before falling under their own weight, while others curve and crawl 15 feet or more.

No chittering can be heard.

 

[chakken98]

Thelso will pull forth the pendent that he recieved, making sure it is visible should the druid appear. He will also use his intense sense of smell to see if the rats are still in this area or have gone...as well as any other strange smells that may fill the air.

After taking those moments to do the above, he will bring forth his crossbow making sure it is loaded should any attackers come towards his comrades

 

[Voadam]

Thelso [sblock] some particularly foul smelling rat scent traces here, somewhat different, more pungent and rank than the rats you've seen and scented here before.[/sblock]

 

[Shayuri]

Inamar hesitates, then says hopefully, "No more squeaking. Maybe the rats went somewhere else. Or...they could be asleep."

She glances at Thelso, who seems to her to be the closest thing to a rat present at the moment. "What do you think?"

(hee...apologies to Thelso, but you know...fur, ears, teeth and muzzle...Inamar's a city girl, she still paints in broad strokes when it comes to animal-like features )

 

[chakken98]

"I fear my friends that there is danger up ahead, i smell a more potent smell of rat's in this area. It is not the same smell from the ones we have faced earlyer. It is stronger more pungent.." Looking at his friends seeing that they are already prepared for what may face them "Inamar, does your dark sight see anything?"
