You set the body blazing and the light that was beginning to glow in its eyes dies out.

Beyla nods. "This place is accursed. Whatever dies here quickly comes back as undead!"

Looking at Beyla, he says apologetically, "I took a gamble with making noise, I know, but I didn't see any other option for finding our companions.  We could wander around down here until we did of old age before we find them, I'm afraid."

He sighs heavily, and says in a weary tone, "I suppose we should try to find our own way out of this place now."

meanwhile...back in the Snake Pit...

(OOC - First off, sorry bout the delay, over the weekend starting Thur I lost both Web Hosts, 7 Domains, and various sub-domains, as well as my email accounts. all seems to be back to normal now, sooo... back to the game in progress...)

Quote from: pbj44;740710OOC - Foromo - GM rolls 2 for initiative! You and the team will go first! The cobras rear, spread their hoods and hiss!

Hmmm...anyway...

Foromo has his Hammer out, so he hollers "Snakes...Why does it have to be Snakes...I HATE Snakes...) and starts smashing...

Hurmak, having a spear, is at a great advantage and starts weaving a deadly wall of sharpness, advancing on the snakes...

Hurtag goes "Hmmm..." and starts twriling his Sword in an effort to ensure he does more damage to the snakes then they give him..."what happens if I get bit???"

Foromo hollers back, "Depends on where you get bit!!"

(OOC - P.S., all this while you swear you hear "Let's do the Time Warp again" in the background...)

Foromo and team - roll your attacks!

Baldue closes his eyes and swings his hand axe, somehow missing. He gibbers with fear. Norda flys to his defense, and leaping in front of him confronts 3 Cobras! Hissing from the pain of her injuries, she neatly decapitates the one confronting Baldue and then settles into a weaving game of maneuver with the other two - desperate to avoid their strikes.

Jolly and Beyla - you hear the sounds of fighting - and the familiar sound of someone screaming like a child - back the way you came from. You also hear the sounds of battle from the direction that the beastmen were coming from!

Quote from: pbj44;741486Foromo and team - roll your attacks!

(OOC - I think it's only fair to handle my 3 chars, OK???)

ok...Hurmak, Hurtag, then me...





for...(am assuming all hit...) 4, 6, and 4

Let the massacre begin...

"That's either the scream of a child," Jolly says excitedly with smile to Beyla, "or Baldue.  come on!"

Jolly starts jogging back in the direction of the scream.

Foromo - Four of the six Cobras quickly go down to the party's iron-fisted strikes! One of the snake strikes at Foromo and misses, while the other buries it's fangs into Norda's calf. She groans and collapses on the floor.

Jolly and Beyla- rushing back, you run straight to the heavy door behind which you can hear the sound of your team fighting. Both of you pushing together get it to budge wide enough to slip inside.

OOC- GM roles 5 for new rounds initiative.

Quote from: pbj44;741510OOC- GM roles 5 for new rounds initiative.

and I roll a three (OOC -  I need a new dice roller...dag-nabit!!!)

alright, go...

One snake strikes at Hurmak and the other at Peldic, with both missing their targets!

OOC - Okay, go!

Quote from: pbj44;741522One snake strikes at Hurmak and the other at Peldic, with both missing their targets!

OOC - Okay, go!

OK, Hurmak, Hurtag, then Foromo  

12 - 3 dmg
14 - 3 dmg
15 - 4 dmg

Hurmak - Fearful upon the distress of the Fair Maiden Norda, doubles his effort of snake-spear wrangling.

Hurtag - fearful of getting bit, full fans his sword in a feeble attempt of protecting himself.

Foromo just dances around, banging anything and everything with his hammer, yelling to whole time 'I HATE Snakes, dammit...Die, Die, Die..."

"Help Norda!" Jolly says to Beyla as he rushes to aid Peldic.

Mergo and Jolly both strike at the cobra on Peldic trying to lance with their short swords.

Peldic steps back with the torch in hand.

====================================

OOC:  Mergo rolls a 5 and misses.  Jolly rolls a 13 and hits AC 6 for 2 damage.

Hurmak continues to perform the "Dance of the Deadly Spear", while Foromo still screams "Dam Snakes...I HATE Snakes!!! Why does it have to be Snakes!!!"

The Cobras are now dead.

Beyla runs over to the gasping Norda.

Norda whispers, "The poison is running through my veins. You cannot help me now. But watch over Baldue."

She weakly motions Baldue over, "Beyla will watch over you now. So do as she says. She smiles, "Stupid little man..."

Now her smile is fixed and her eyes staring into space - she's gone.

Beyla groans and buries her face in her hands, "NO!"

Torch Count: 24

OOC - Everyone take 100XP to bring you current.

Jolly hangs his head low as he says sagely, "you know what we must do, Beyla."

He hands his torch to Mergo and then moves next to Beyla and Norda.

As he kneels he puts his hand on Beyla's shoulder and says gently, "we must be quick.  Help me remove her items of worth."

Norda carries the following:

Clothing
Hard Boots
Maile shirt
Longsword
2 torches
backpack/waterskin (wine)/and 4 days rations

Once the items are removed Beyla says a quiet prayer over her, then nods to Jolly, "Alright, let's get this over with, though it tears at my heart."

Baldue interrupts, "Can I have her sword?"
