This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Drohem;437036Belak looks around at the group and says, "if the spell casters are exhausted, then it would be best to return to the surface with the injured and come back down at full strength."

Looking to Belak I indicate Othos..."Im not spent yet but if I help these men I will be! If we are all ta go up I am happy to call on Charlathan to help stabalize, but if we're ta stay an secure the area we may very well have need soon!"

motioning to the others "Anybody got a mind ta check those other chests?! Might be somth'n usef'l inum."
Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

Quote from: Benoist;437040The procedure goes on rather smoothly. Nimten is a bit surprised when he manages to dislocate the heart from its cavity, as the veins and arteries close instinctively, the heart still beating as Nimten holds it with both hands...

The platform hits the ground.

"Hmmm, fancy that!." as Nimten handles the still living organ. He rubs his chin a moment then gets out his waterskin and cuts the top off, emptying the contents after taking a large swig. He drops the thing into the skin and ties off with a bit of scrap, wrapping around the whole package tightly. He drops it into his pouch.

He goes over to the clay orbs and prods one with the point of his dagger...

Nimten proceeds without trouble (though the pouch might be a little too small, since the heart itself is the size of Nimten's head).

The tip of the dagger penetrates the surface of the little ball like a warm needle through plain butter. It seems the matter the ball is made of is not dry at all, more akin to a sort of dough than anything else.

"Hmmm."
leaving the ball he starts to look at the other items in the room...the large piece of furniture getting attention first.

This is a large piece of furniture partly made of bronze and ebony which follows the curve of the north-western wall. It is 40 feet long, maybe, and about three or four feet wide. On the top of the furniture there are little steps on which unlit voltive candles are resting. Under this candle display, there are large alcoves where the balls of colored dough are stored in small baskets.

Ylarum says : "I and my footmen will guard whilst we hoist away.  For the sake of the wounded and Liir and Dallow, who aren't fighting men by trade and might get caught in the crush of an ambush should something lie unseen, waiting for a weak moment such as with half of us up the rope, one wounded, with Liir, then the other, with Dallow.  Objections, lads?"

"That makes sense."

Tudd starts poking around the main room, looking at and trying to open the chests and poking around the bodies as everyone else mills about.

Quote from: skofflox;436967listening to the exchange...."Well, I'm will'n ta invoke the aide of Charlathen. May be of little use to these folk though. And we'll soon be in thik of it again no doubt!" as I indicate the wounded  "And like as not we all bear a plague if there be one. Hmmm, perhaps a vote?" as I arch an eyebrow.

Othos looks up from the wounded.  "I feel it's probably transmitted by contact of flesh or the bites of the infected.  Rissthill is probably safe, provided he merely survives these injuries and we should send him above.  But the others...I don't know what that creature was or if it can spread the infection.  I don't think it's wise to risk sending this stuff up where it can reach the rest of Ptolus.  We could form a camp here and observe them overnight for symptoms."

"Well, afore we start bed'n down we havta secure this area and it might be best ta send Riss up now so's we can get on with it. I'll abide by your decision Othos. So, shall I ask for divine aide for these folk or are we ta let'm rest as they are and save what power we still have for others that may need it soon?" as I indicate the wounded and the eastern room with the other secret area.

Nimten goes around the room looking at the other trappings,stopping to look through the purple hued window before returning to investigate the balls..."Hmmm." he wraps his hand in some scrap clothe and gently pokes one of the balls with his finger. If nothing happens he will pick it up and toss one through the candle trap room! (making sure it is empty of friends first!)

"Delbaeth is already up there," says Ulas.

"I don't think this is any place to play at hospital, either. If we're going to stay down here, we should at least make them comfortable and examine more of the area around us for imminent threats."

hitting my forehead with palm and nodding to Ulas "Thats the right of it man! Up they go,there's work here for the stout!" if no one objects further I will start to lift Riss. gently and place him on the platform.

Belak nods sagely at Ulas' point about Delbaeth, and says, "aye, I agree.  Either we send up the wounded and stay here for a while longer, or we all go up and rest before coming back down."
