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

[Helfdan]

Roderic

"Grok... he seems ill. Think you we can help him?" Roderic cannot help but feel pity for the brute, but he keeps his sword and shield at the ready.

 

[Voadam]

"If so we need to get him out of here. This place warps things in evil ways. We want to know if he is spouting jibberish from a diseased brain or if there actually are voices behind the warping. Let's try to talk him out and find out who and what these voices are." Sweat breaks out on Jakobee's brow as he realizes the mutations might not be from a curse but from a presence.

The half-orc eyes the ogre warily. Gripping his mace with renewed strength, he answers Roderic without takinghis eyes off the beast. "Grok not so sure that good idea."

The ogre did though seem to be different from the kobolds and the cat. It wasn't attacking them on sight and he seemed to be rather conflicted in his mind. Sighing heavily as he watched the agony that the monster was in, he shook his head. "Fine. Grok try to see if he can help."

The half-orc moves forward at a cautious pace and tries to examine the ogre from a distance. He doesn't try to provoke the creature, but it observing as much as he can.

OOC:
Please move Grok to H12.

Grok will use a heal check to try to determine if there's any hope for this poor sap based upon the amount of corruption the cat and kobolds exhibited.

Scrag follows Grok, weapon ready, saying, "Him move, Scrag kill."

 

[Scott DeWar]

John's curiosity gets the better of him. H easts a detect magic on the ogre to see if any of the pustules are exudinding any toxic substances

 

[Yttermayn]

The ogre eyes Grok warily as he approaches. "Logbrag not go with you. Not go to afterlife yet. You make Logbrag see things when he sleep! Make Logbrag hurt, Logbrag itch, Logbrag angry all time! Logbrag still not go with you! Kobolds weak, not like Logbrag. You keep kobolds, leave Logbrag alone!"

Grok's heal check reveals that whatever is causing the changes in the ogre's body is far more powerfull than any healing magics or skills Grok has at his disposal at this time.
John's detect magic tells him nothing of the toxicity of the ooze, but it does reveal something unexpected. There is something large and magical between Logbrag and the wall, apparently sandwiched there and not otherwise visible without the aid of the spell.

"Jakobee, there is something on his back. you may not be able to see it but you will if you can 'see' it

 

[maddmic]

Grok was quite surprised that the ogre didn't lash out at him as he approached, even though he was well outside of his reach. He was even more surprised that the beast seemed to want to talk, or at least express his standpoint by talking.

The half-orc moved a little closer, but mostly kept his distance. "Grok not here to send Logbrag to afterlife. Grok here to find out what making beasties have black goo. Grok not hurt Logbrag. Logbrag know what do this to him? Maybe Grok find it and kill it for Logbrag."


OOC:
Move to H9

 

[Amaury]

Rosalia looks at John, puzzled. "Whaaat?? Can you be clearer? We need clarity right now!" she says in a low but exasperated voice. She moves slowly forward, ready to react to any hostile behaviour.


OOC: move to G7.

 

[Helfdan]

Roderic, as carefully and peacefully as possible (for a man with a sword in his hand) moves up to Grok's side, to assist should the monster go berserk.
