[Ptolus/AD&D] IC Thread #2 - Underground (part 1)

"Weapons don't seem to harm them!" Rissthil says to those around him in dismayed tone.

Turning to see what they are doing at the secret door, he asks, "what's in there Smeads?"

Gareth mutters "A dead necromancer" and let's go a flying dagger, hoping to backstab the fucker.

Roll to hit (d20).

Roll to hit (d20).

[OOC: My shitty attack roll = 7]

[Benoist]

Gareth launches his dagger which misses Smeads head by a bout an inch or two, hits the frame of the door, spins in the air and lands not to far away, inside the corridor.

Smeads has no problem finding a reasonably-sized pebble and throws it into the corridor, by the orange candle. It blasts some orange blobs of light which then crash on the opposite wall, just above the niche hosting the small stone receptable described earlier. It becomes clear, from the way the blobs collapse as they hit the wall and then slowly drip down its surface that they are in fact made of some sort of super-heated substance, metal or otherwise.

The monk does not move at all.

Meanwhile, north of the armoury, Runch and the others have piled up a significant amount of stuff against the southern door. As Tudd talks to the bug, all there suddenly hear a loud crashing sound against the door, as if many bodies had been thrown against it all at the same time with great force. You see some of the flesh-like substance oozing its way through the door's frame.

(Does anyone still have a lit torch, or is it all just my linkboy's lamp at this point?)

As far as I'm aware, it's just Snave's lantern at this point, though there are a lot of flamables around you could light up using the lantern and then throw at the stuff by the door.

(If there's a tattered bit of rag or burlap or something I can make a brand out of I will light it on the lantern and thrust it into the pink goo that's oozing...)

There totally is stuff like that lying around. It's sort of a storage area, so you've got rags, bits of rope, bags and so on.

Excellent then.  Time to burn some Hollendaise.

[Lilaxe]

Smeads will find another rock, this time rolling it along the ground as far as he can throw it. Intention is to see if the goo is sprayed when the rock passes below its "line of sight"

[Cole]

Ulas, making use of the door frame as cover, will watch out of the west door toward the north, past the fallen red lamp, arrow ready.

[skofflox]

"Quikly,gather the other flasks of oil. Lets get ready to burn the spaunen."

Stepping up to the leashed orc,leaning close and tapping his chest as I speakOrcish ..."No trouble from you.These folk here..." as I indicate the others "Don't fancy being fodder for this scum, if'n you want t'continue breath'n you play nice. I even get the idea that you are muk'n about I leaves ya to your luck which don't seem ta be tha best!"

"START CLEAR'N THIS ROOM!" as I wave a hand towards the N...

[Imperator]

As Gareth's dagger has failed, he will unseathe his sword and cautiously advance towards the monk, specially looking for traps or any weird sign from the candles or stuff in the room.

[Lilaxe]

"Gareth - watch out!" I hold Gareth back.

"The candles shoot melting liquid out - it would kill you!"

[Sigmund]

Tudd begins moving in the direction Runch indicated, peering around the door frame to look for enemies before moving out into the hall next to the trap.
