(YBA) Lovecraft in the Cathayan Tombs

[Yellow Sign]

Being careful to not touch the vile ichor, Lovecraft will renew his torch. "Humm, thats better, I would hate to lose my light again." Looking over to the sarcophagus next to the on he just opened he says "I wonder if there is any treasure in that one. They cannot all have monsters in them." With that he will examine an open the next coffin.

 

[Ciaran]

You push the lid aside from the third sarcophagus. Bruised muscles strain in protest. As the lid crashes into the ground, you move to shine the torch within, but before you can pierce the darkness of the sarcophagus, a dozen wiry tendrils uncoil from its shadowy depths and lash out at you!

Tendrils attack you: The invisible nunchaku quells the orchard; conceals the push of the fires!

 

[Yellow Sign]

The trident flies on top of the clearing; parts the descent of the grass!

Lovecraft tries to leap over the sarcophagus to evade the tendrils.

 

[Ciaran]

You leap into the air, avoiding most of the tendrils. But just when you think you are free, one snakes around your ankle and slings you into the wall, knocking your torch from your hand and inflicting 1 hit! As you slump to the floor, yet another mummy rises from this sarcophagus. Vines sway around it like hair in a breeze or seaweed in a current. As the thing approaches, the vines whip out towards you once more...

Vine Mummy
CR 3
Hits: 4
Yen Factor: 1
Undead
Expert of the Silent Vineyard
Student of the Twisting Emerald Whip

Vine Mummy (4/4) attacks you: The nunchaku shouts by the well; parts the pain of the horn!

 

[Yellow Sign]

With savage fury, Lovecraft rips and tears into the attacking tendrils.


The chimera scourges the plain; shields the stab of the tides!

 

[Ciaran]

You grab hold of a couple of tendrils and yank hard. They come away with a sound like hair being torn from its roots, inflicting 1 hit on the thing, then crumble to dust in your hands. But the mummy moves inexorably forwards, its vines probing the air, seeking your blood and flesh.

Vine Mummy (3/4) attacks you: The crane seeks near the atoll; protects against the offensive of the mountain!

 

[Yellow Sign]

Lovecraft 2/3

The rat wracks the cavern; dominates the thrust of the lash as it bows across the rolling of the maze!

Lovecraft sends a powerful kick into the mummy's midsection.

 

[Ciaran]

You rip away another tendril as it wraps around your arm, then send the thing staggering back with a mighty kick, inflicting 1 hit. There is a thick, sour odor of rotten wine as dark fluid spouts from where its mouth should be.

 

[Yellow Sign]

The lizard drowns the prairie; fends off the throw of the cave!

 

[Ciaran]

Vine Mummy (2/4) attacks you: The trident drops by the fountain; wards off the onslaught of the wood!

Brushing away the clinging vines, you deliver another powerful kick to the mummy's midsection. More foul fluid spurts forth as your blow caves in its chest. It falls to the floor, then starts to crawl towards you, tendrils twitching crazily in the firelight.
