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

[Sigmund]

Tudd notices a smell coming from the dough as he plays with it. It is very strong. Some sort of oil, something that has been mixed with whatever materials and pigments were used to create the dough itself.

"Uh oh.... hey brudder, I think the mouse peed.... kinda stinky..." Tudd says as he holds the vaguely mouse-shaped blob out towards Runch.

[Drohem]

Belak and his man Klob stay by the lift and help load the injured onto it to be taken up the shaft.

Belak and his man Klob stay by the lift and help load the injured onto it to be taken up the shaft.

DM: Belak and Klob proceed.

[please tell me which color you pick. You've got blue, red and yellow balls in the baskets]

Nimten considers a moment then chooses a blue ball and throws it after moving as far away as possible.

The two scrolls recovered from Tudd's chest appear to be complete gibberish to Runch (not prayers, as Tudd first though when looking at the pretty writing). The two scrolls recovered from Ulas' chest, however, seem to be prayers to Lothian. One seems to be some sort of poem, or lyrics for a chant, begging the Lord for His favor, while asking for enemies of the Faith to fail in their endeavors.* The other is a prayer asking for the Lord to bless whatever meal the Faithful are about to consume**.

Let me know if Runch, or anybody else, wishes to examine the other chests' contents.

* i.e. a Chant (Cleric 2) spell.
** i.e. a Purify Food and Drink (Cleric 1) spell.

sticking the gibberish ones into my belt I eye the others..."Hmm, certes one is a blessing the other a bit o chanty for purity or sumsuch thing! Othos will wana' look at these." as I raise an eyebrow in Ulas's direction tapping the scrolls a bit in emphasis. I leave them in Ulas's care...I then head back to Tudds position "Best leave off muk'n about wi'that boyo!" as I see him continue to play around with the clay. I go to peak into the open chest and investigate the other objects.

[Sigmund]

"Ok brudder." Tudd says and tosses the red glob over his shoulder, stands up, and starts rooting through the clothes of the bodies remaining strewn about the large room, starting with the closest to the chest he was looking through.

[winkingbishop]

"Othos, Nimten, Runch - scrolls over here."

Othos looks up from the fallen, hearing his name mentioned a few times.  "Yes.  Sure, I'd like to see those.  Half a moment, if you please.  Runch, I'm not confident these men will recover on their own.  We must decide if we are going up with them or not."

[Benoist]

Nimten considers a moment then chooses a blue ball and throws it after moving as far away as possible.

Nimten steps away from the violet window and throws the blue ball at it. It flattens itself against the crystal, slides against its surface for a second, and then falls flat on the floor. No visible effect.

The monk has already been searched. Creatures around: one goblin to the NE of the dais, and two orcs (one full W by the large urn by the indigo lanthorn, the other next to the goblin).

Roll 3d6 once, and 2d6 twice, please.

[Runch goes] to peak into the open chest and investigate the other objects.

The other items contained within Tudd's chest, besides the two unreadable scrolls: Parchment, ink and quill, a red ball of dough Tudd started to play with, and a light blue liquid in a glass vial.

[Drohem]

Once the wounded have been put into the lift and it starts moving upward, Belak and Klob will then start searching any nearby bodies and piling up any weapons and armor they find near the dais to be transported up the shaft.

Feeling a bit sheepish Nimten rises, grabs a yellow ball and lets fly at the purple window,quickly squating afterward! (duck and cover!)

lifting each item out to examin closer and to look for any irregularity in the chest bottom...think'n 'seems ta be a set o writn'n tools...nice craftsm'nship!'[/COLOR]

I am pulled out of my thought by Othos call...I walk over to the dwarf..."Well, we need ta decide if we intend ta keep at it or we goin ta go topside ta assay situation afore our return." looking to the others as they go about their work "Seems we need ta vote before I go help'n these unfortunates. If we take it to the next room we will need all our resources and a bit more of a plan!" as I indicate the wounded and the secret door...lifting arms and raising my voice " Excuse me gentlefolk! Lets have a gather here ta decide our intentions!"

You find 14 silver pieces on the goblin's corpse, as well as 4 electrum pieces on each of the orcs'.

You grab a yellow ball, throw it at the purple window. No noticeable effect.

DM: Roll 1d12.

Belak and Klob will then start searching any nearby bodies and piling up any weapons and armor they find near the dais to be transported up the shaft.

In the immediate vicinity, you have the goblin, the monk, and the two orcs you defeated earlier. All have now been searched. The monk was wearing no armor, and was fighting with his bare hands. The goblin fought with a short sword (1-6 damage v. S/M; 1-8 v. L) and wore studded leather (AC 7). The orcs fought with glaives (1-6 damage v. S/M; 1-10 v. L) and wore scale mail (AC 6).

Let me know if Belak and Klob proceed further, and where (giant oaf and a goblin to the east, one orc and two goblins in the room on fire -which is seriously quieting down by now-, huge pile of corpses in the NW room, alive orc chained to his pillar in the apothecary room).

"Runch, what are we going to do with your prisoner?"

chuckling to himself,red ball next...Nimten (depending on the outcome will then proceed to search the room carefully for a candle damper (?) with a long handle...if he finds one he will put out any lit candles in the room (if not he will just blow them out) then see what he can do about the candle trap!)

 

"Runch, what are we going to do with your prisoner?"

waiting for the others to gather...
"Well, first order is'ta question'm bout th' 'Quann' or somesuchthing and the goins'on of this place so's we can make a more informed decision,I'll go fetch'm! We'll need to take stock of any loot as well,might be someth'n usefull to the injured. !" as I indicate the wounded and trot off to retrieve my prisoner.

Nimten throws a red ball next, with no effect whatsoever. He then proceeds and looks around the room for a candle damper. There is none to be found, and no lit candles within the room itself. Is Nimten inspecting some area of the room more closely, or does he decide to do something else entirely?

Runch makes his way back to the apothecary. He sees the shelves there, with all sorts of pots and bottles stored on them, some of them lying flat, or backwards, (many) others yet shattered on the room's floor. He turns northward and catches the orc trying to break free from his pillar. He stops right away and tries to look like he was waiting patiently for anyone to come back, wondering if Runch noticed anything...

[Drohem]

After piling the goblin's and orcs' weapons and armor by the lift, Belak and Klob will go and search the giant and goblin on the eastern side of the circular chamber.

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

OOC: It's the only thing that they can see that hasn't been searched, right?  They don't know yet about the corpses or burning bodies in other rooms.
