Chapter 3: What Lies Beneath

[Eagleheart]

Now that he has had some time to think, Ketu recalls that the mandrill-men are called charau-ka, and they are indeed from the Mwangi Expanse. They served the Gorilla King until his recent demise, and are now on the hunt for new causes to support. Mostly evil ones.

He also recalls hearing an old story about how Dahak wreaked destruction on the Mwangi during the Age of Darkness, when the world was still reeling from Earthfall. He was eventually stopped, but at great cost.

As he searches the bodies, he finds that each wears an insignia of a smoking dragon's claw - a symbol of Dahak.

Pieces of furniture are still intact in this next room but, hanging from the rafters in the center of the room, there is a strange structure made from ripped and knotted curtains.

From here, there are doors to the east and north. (and south, which leads back to the main hall)

Syhlas walks to the center of the room and looks up at the strange structure hanging from the rafters.

"What do you think this has been used for?" He looks at it from different angles and then he moves to the northern part of the room listening through the two doors to see if he can hear anything through them.

Adding a Perception roll just in case.

When she hadn't been drilling in the convent yard, she'd been in her Order's library, filling her mind with whatever scraps and tidbits of knowledge and lore she could. She'd been single minded in her pursuits, but in the process she'd picked up a lot of esoteric knowledge. She peered at the hanging object, trying to figure out what it was.

Corwyn keeps to the edge of the room, watching the strange elevated furniture to make sure nothing is hiding there. He follows after Syhlas he listens to the doors, but keeps his focus on the things above us, unsure what they could be used for way up there.

As they study the strange arrangement of curtains and look at it from different angles, Syhlas and Arionne realize that it looks like the canopy of a jungle. It seems the charau-ka were just trying to make this place feel like home.

You proceed to the north, where a steady dripping from the stone ceiling has created a deep, bog-like puddle in the middle of the broken floor. Ringing around the puddle are splintered pieces of wood stuck into the flagstones' rubble, rising up like bizarre foliage. You also see two dead frog-men being feasted on by a giant mosquito. She seems too content with her current meal to notice you.

Arionne was a practical sort, not prone to contrivances like chivalry when it came to fighting. Though she'd not had cause to kill many before today, neither was today the first time she'd taken a life. Things had never gone that far within the Convent, but she'd already killed a Goblin before she'd been scooped up by the Sisters, and a pair of bandits after she'd fled. Seeing the enormous insect devouring not just the blood but the flesh of two of the Frog-men, she didn't hesitate, instantly calling up her power and hurling it at the thing. A pair of obsidian spiked chains formed about her, called from nothing but her will and the power of her blood, streaking forward to pierce its flesh.

Arionne's first attack is deflected by the mosquito's tough carapace, but the second finds purchase. The mosquito is slow to react and still off-guard, giving all of you the opportunity to strike... except Ketu, who is once again distracted by something shiny - which turns out to be a potion bottle, discarded but still full.

"What in Cayden's name is that? How did it grow that big?" Syhlas looks at the giant mosquito with a horrified face as they enter the room. Arionne is quickest to decide whether they should attack or leave the monstrous thing and this time Syhlas has nothing to argue against her. Killing mosquitos has never been a moral issue for the Kintargan and in this case, size doesn't matter.

He draws his shortsword and swiftly attacks the giant insect with both his weapons.

Active Conditions: Shield 11/12

---

"Work? Ah, I've never particularly thought about the how. I just try to act like how I feel she would want me to act when faced with a situation...and, perhaps I'm just predisposed to do that already, since most of the time, I have not had an issue acting in such a way."

Matilde awkwardly tries to explain her rather active form of faith to Ketu as he made his inquiry. It didn't feel like a particularly convincing explanation, especially as she seemed to not be particularly intent on facing the process herself at that moment.

---

Their walking into the disgusting bug later on was thus a welcome variance on her discomfort, as it allowed her to think of other matters than her tarnished faith. Sword already at the ready, she proceeded to start hacking at the creature before putting her shield up once more.

Corwyn and Matilde manage to hit the giant bug while Syhlas misses. Calmont fires off two shots that both make their mark, but the mosquito remains alive, and it stabs Arionne with its long needle-like mouthpart to suck blood from her.

Round 1 cont'd.

Calmont
Hand Crossbow Strike
Reload
Strike again

Giant Mosquito
Strike vs Arionne - if hit, Arionne must roll a Fortitude save
Latch On - Arionne is now grabbed
Drain Blood - Arionne takes 3d6 damage and the mosquito gains temp HP. Arionne is drained 1 until she receives healing (of any kind or amount)

@foltor is up. The map is unchanged.

Ketu the Ghost

"You had to provoke it, didn't you?" he chides Arionne as the scene descends into chaos.

Still somewhat drained from his earlier outburst of energyout of focus points , Ghost steps to the side of Syhlas, raises his arm, and closes his eyes, summoning a loose stone from the floor to fly toward the monster bug.

[Eagleheart]

Now that the mosquito is a bit more alert, it manages to avoid Ketu's attack.
