Yttermayn's "Saga of the Dragon Cult" (IC) 2

John must be getting paranoid as he lowers his iron rod and turns around slowly. He takes care to keep the business end pointed away from scrag.

The pods do indeed seem large enough to house kobolds, though you do not dwell on the fact long as Tuk's strikes results in the severing of one of the stalks. The separate pieces quiver and squirm like a cut worm and black ichor sprays all around in Tuk's vicinity.

The pod deflates a bit and sinks deep into the depths of the pool. A moment later a series of bubbles froths to the top and a gurgling creature flops over the side of the pool and onto shore. It stumbles forward after the closer Tuk, then falls onto its face into the dark vegetation. The creature twitches as its breath becomes shallow and stops due to half-formed lungs.

As you take a closer look you realize the goo-covered creature is a only partially mutated kobold, not fully transformed. For a brief moment, John and Scrag believe they see tiny worms squirming inside the goo of the creature.

OOC: Tuk needs to roll DC 12 Reflex check to avoid being covered in black goo.
 




Tuk

The warrior deftly jumps out of harm's way, his gaze fixed on the kobold gurgling to death at his feet. He slices its skull in half for good measure, and then delivers his axe hack to Scrag. "There must be a more safe way to kill these plants. They are the means to whatever is going on here."
 



Nodding to Roderic's comment, Rosalia adds: "Yes the How. But only a partial How no? I mean: are these kobolds born out of nothing or they're kobolds captured by this.. plant and transformed?.."

She adds: "Let's cut this thing off!"
 

"seeeeeems reasonable. Scrag? will you cut the things there?" John has his staff at the ready. "I can burn the stalks, maybe."
