Einar did not realize that the time release would not let them open it from the inside until it was too late and Frey had been out outside with his horse so he didn't hear anything about the time release. Einar and the others followed the corridor after noticing there was an extra set of half-orc tracks.
Once they found the room with the laboratory they spent some time confused by the strange creature that seamed to be attacked by both Kolas and the others as well as the now dead men in robes. Eloum heard whispering come from that room and they backed away from the honey combs to check it out.
They all met back up now and Thayd also found a concealed drawer in some of the furniture. Containing a box with two bottles of trolls blood and two bottles of acid. (I added this in a twist in healing potions if the player drinks the trolls blood but not the acid then bad results will commence)

They continued on to the corridor and Kolas went ahead of them to look into the honeycombs and was quickly attacked by robber flies. The first one coming out met one of Thayd's darts and the Kol was bitten several times. One of flies flew past Kol and into the Halberd formation, but it still managed to land a bite or two on Eloum.
Alot of darts were thrown at the first two or three flies and then Lotus moved up with her claws and eventually killed one. But not before Kol managed to net one and then get bite by the other. He was near death now and Eloum just barely managed to get to Kol's pack and find the Healing Vial in time.
It took the whole party another 15 seconds just to kill the one in the net they kept wildly stabbing at it, which upset Kol when he woke up and found he didn't get to try and keep the fly to sell.
They moved on checking the corridors and various rooms finding little of anything until they passed through an antechamber and into a hall with three doors. They approached the first door with Einar listening intently. He told them heard a faint sound of two coins clicking together.
Kol threw open the door and ran in full speed. Charging right inside the enveloping interior of a Gelatinous Cube. The coins that faintly clicked just once were floating inside this Gel that was now acidicly eating at Kol and his belongings.
A few darts were thrown into it quickly having their wooden shafts destroyed and the cube attempted to force its way out of the door. Luckily the halberds quite simply tore the thing apart, spilling its insides onto the floor. Eloum used his water skin to wash Kol off as best he could and changed all of his acid soaked bandages and new bandages as well. Most likely Eloum no longer owns a robe.
And thats were we left off this time with Eloum trying to save Kol's life from his plunge into jelly.

Nice. I especially like the way that the "fool hardy" a.k.a. Kol, charged right into the Gelatinous Cube.
ReplyDeleteI have a guy like that in my game too. Don't they make it fun?
Mwahahahahaha!
what makes it extra funny is that he is the oldest person in our playing group and typically acts like he knows what he is doing the most. Yet in this game session he got jumped by the robber flies and ran right into the cube.
ReplyDeleteHe told me he thought the sound of the coin was one falling off of a doorknob alerting whoever was in the room of their presence.
A coin falling off a door knob? That's rather simplistic, even for kobolds!
ReplyDeleteYeah, my guy makes it fun. Think I'll "kill" him a couple of times and see if he "wakes up" a bit.
:D
