JagrHunter Posted February 11 Clone Share Posted February 11 Bochs Bochs (pronounced "Box")(BlackHammer) AC: 18 HP:12 Shield Dwarf, Paladin "But aren't those eggs?" whispered the Dwarf Paladin pointing at the small ovals in the pile. "Won't they protect those if the alarm goes up." AppearanceMeet Bochs, the Shield dwarf with a name as strong as his spirit. Standing slightly taller than his peers, he commands attention with his well-muscled physique and meticulously maintained beard, armor, and equipment. A captivating detail that catches the eye is the small, glimmering adamantium medallion adorning his neck, proudly displaying the symbol of Moradin. This precious relic holds immense sentimental value, as it was one of the two items Bochs received after the tragic loss of his parents during a perilous trade mission fromthe Glen. The second item, a remarkable dwarven Warhammer, is a cherished family heirloom passed down from his father. Bochs carries these tokens with him, a testament to his resilience and unwavering determination.

Terran Posted February 11 Clone Share Posted February 11 (edited) Jessie says in a hushed tone responding to Bochs, "The eggs we saw were in the Queen's chamber. I did not see any eggs in the room with the piles of leaves that we would have to move through. However, I wasn't close enough to be absolutely sure," she honestly adds. "But, yes, you're right. They will likely defend the Queen and her eggs in the back chamber where we saw the sawdust nest leaving the other room passable if the diversion is done properly and we move quietly and quickly," she adds politely with a sincere smile before looking, listening and then moving ahead again toward the Fey area unless someone counters her action. OOC Free Action: Swift Action: Move Equivalent Action: Standard Action: Move: Full Round Action: Jessie Tosscobble III's AppearanceJessie is small standing at 2 foot 8 inches and weighing a mere 27 pounds. As such, the lass intentionally keeps her brown hair long to cover her halfling features, which allows the rogue to pass herself off as a small humanoid or even young human or half-elven child when convenient or necessary. Dressed dark purple clothing, which is overlaid with attractive black leather accoutrements, Jessie keeps the paraphernalia of her 'profession' secreted upon her person, and especially the authorities, except when in use. Her friendly blue eyes and warm, sincere smile are disarming and allow the lass to paint a picture of a young girl who is completely unintimidating by all appearances, an assumption often made by others which suits her well and which she actively cultivates. To promote this look of youth or innocence, most of Jessie's weapons, alchemical doodads, pack, and other equipment are kept hidden under her clothing and also by her large heavy dark green cloak.

Sorithar Posted February 11 Author Clone Share Posted February 11 (edited) Having worked out strategy, Jesse now leads you back the way you'd come towards the smaller cavern with the natural spring in it, where the stairs from the ruined keep above come down. As you near the chamber, a strong sulfurous smell tickles your noses, and it gets stronger the closer you get to the chamber. Dampness enfolds Jesse as she enters the chamber proper and a familiar, somewhat shrill, voice calls out. "So, the grave robbers return, as I knew you would! Brought me a head have you?!" This time however, Jesse thinks she catches a glimpse of something in the water, the the edge of the dim light shed by the torch in Rodin's hand.

Terran Posted February 11 Clone Share Posted February 11 (edited) As Jessie leads the way toward the Fey pool, the Halfing remembers that the idea during their last encounter was to try and talk first, fight later. Thus, mimicking her prior strategy in an attempt to maintain the appearance of neutrality, the rogue stows her bow and draws a black metal dagger which she conceals behind her back as she moves forward. Remaining quiet when the same 'ghost' voice calls out for its desired 'head', the tiny burglar remains quiet and stands so that her back is facing away from the pool of water and allows the smooth talkers among the 'Tall-ies' do the talking. However, when Jessie catches a glimpse of something the water, presumably the creature, she stands smiling while slightly rocking back and forth on her heels and then toes in an absent-minded playful manner while hiding her free hand also behind her back allowing the rogue to secretly hold up one finger and then point at the edge of the pool of water where she saw the movement. As she stands seemingly ignoring the entire situation, the opposite is true as the diminutive rogue watches out of the corner of her eye and carefully listens with her keen Hafling hearing for and more sights or sounds of movement or anything unusual in the pool of water, as well as the passageway down which the small stream is flowing.

Draidden Posted February 11 Clone Share Posted February 11 Rodin Sethilaud Wood Elf, Ranger Rodin shakes his head as the voice starts talking again. He notices Jessie pointing, but is not certain if she is pointing at the pool or at something else over in that direction. He walks up next to her scanning the room. Sorry.

The serpent tongue arrows do both slashing and piercing damage. They are designed to use to cut ropes and break things more effectively. AppearanceRodin stands at 6 feet tall and appears a bit more muscular than the average elf. His skin has a light brownish tan look to it. His hair is brown with streaks of copper highlights through it and hangs down to just touch his shoulders. It normally has a bit of a wild windblown look to it. His eyes are a medium green which reminds most people of the color of leaves. He wears studded leather armor that has been dyed a camouflage pattern of browns and greens. His cloak is held closed by a brooch the shape of a silver arrow with green fletching. Aside from his dagger on his belt, the only weapon he carries is his longbow, which looks a bit thicker and sturdier than most bows.

rauhric Posted February 13 Clone Share Posted February 13 (edited) Aeruiel Moonshadow Half-Moon Elf Barbarian from Ashabenford Aeruiel asks her companions, "Why is this creature so interested in the head of another?" She can't imagine hating so one so much that their head would be appeasing to her contentment. Anyways, not that an answer would be satisfying, she is hoping the question will reach the "voice" and it will engage them in conversation ... maybe just long enough for their little rouge to do whatever she seems she is hinting at. OoC Aeruiel notices Jessie's not so subtle gesturing and hopes she has a better plan that Aeruiel does at this moment. She will instead try to draw out the conversation by asking a question to her companions in the hopes the "voice" hears and is compelled to explain itself, aka "Bond villain monologue". I assume this is a Bluff roll and I have no Bluff guys, so I apologize in advance. AppearanceFemale half-elf, age 17, blonde, blue eyes, fair skin, 5'-7" tall weight about 125 lbs.

The winged creature who lairs above mocks me I say! Bring me its head and you shall appease me!" The damp and tight quarters make the voice echo and reverberate, slowly fading as the words repeat...

"It is nice. This weird obsession with that creature's head is ... creepy. " She keeps an eye on Jessie in case she has a good plan that the rest of the party doesn't know about and is just stalling by engaging the voice. Keeping it busy so to speak so it will not notice or care about Jessie. OoC I know there is no plan, but Aeruiel doesn't, so she is just stalling.

Draidden Posted February 14 Clone Share Posted February 14 Rodin Sethilaud Wood Elf, Ranger Again, we have not seen any winged creature. There is a talking tree, or maybe something in the tree, but we have seen nothing. Whatever it is asked us to kill you and claims you are a fey not a ghost. So give the whole ghost crap a rest. If you don't like this creature, why don't you leave and go somewhere else? Rodin will just move past the small pool and head for the stream leading from it and follow that.

Sorithar Posted February 15 Author Clone Share Posted February 15 The shrill voice calls out at Morn's inquiry. "Yes, the ghost of Galath haunts these caves, damned by my demise to guard my treasure for all time! The creature mocks me, it..." Before the voice can finish, Rodin frustratedly moves forward to go round the small flowing spring. "Leave my domain?! You shall not mock me as the winged devil does!" With that, those of you in the cavern think you glimpse a strange, small winged creature, like a miniature fish-person, covered with scales and sporting jet black, bulbous eyes rise from the spring and flick a wrist in Rodin's direction before diving down into the spring. The small sphere of translucent liquid forms in the air and takes the shape of a deformed droplet of water before flying to splash over Rodin's chest, searing into his skin with a loud hiss that reverberates through the cavern and seems to continue to burn!

Draidden Posted February 15 Clone Share Posted February 15 (edited) Rodin Sethilaud Wood Elf, Ranger Rodin cries out in pain as the acid hits him and he drops to his knees. He quickly reaches for his waterskin and tries pouring it on the wound to stop the burning. It is clear to all that he is barely conscious and it is all he can do just to pour the water on himself. He glance at the pool and easily spots the little demon. If looks could kill the thing would have exploded. But in his current state, glaring angrily is all he can manage.
