Re: Treasure Hunt
In reply to Lucky Six-Fingers (msg # 503):
Selvin, you claw/claw/etc. into the was-quivering-now-flailing ooze like a drunk on a free bottle of whiskey. Zac raises a claw to deliver a swing...
...as on the other side of the room, the crab goes airborne. Zuni and Lucky, you guys are fast, no doubt about it. But this crab is like lightning. The two of you make some incredible swings...and the crab just passes them by like you are moving in slow motion.
Izzick's missles even have a moment where it seems like they won't catch up to it. But they do. At the same moment as...
...Zac makes a vicious downwards swing into the ooze Selvin as...
...the crab is blown sideways out of the air by Izzick's magic globe thingies, shooting past your heads Lucky and Zuin and landing against teh wall, it's shell splitting open and it's lucious looking insides splattering this way and that as...
...the ooze suddenly explodes! Showering everyone in the room with...
Yes Selvin. Some oozes do explode when they die.
Everyone except Izzick. Reflex save 16-. If you save 16 pts damage. If you don't 32 pts. Though with the crab being dead, it's all kind of academic anyway.
As Chandanar moves among you, creating water to wash off acidic ooze bits and healing where needed, you see that the ooze has left behind the dead body.
It's remarkably well preserved. The guy looks like he just died yesterday. You all saw him yesterday...well. One of the yesterdays from all your time skipping. You recognize him as one of the knights who invaded the castle.
His armor looks fine. There's a rune inscribed helm perched on his head. A neckalce, obviously magical, lays around his throat.
But the obvious star of the show...the reason you guys came here to start with...well not you Lucky. Your team was just here to plunder. But whatever. You're with these guys now...is the sword. A long sword, obviously very magical. It matches the description of the weapon from the Ashlander tales.
This is the sword that supposedly killed Kazovon. And now you will use this sword to kill the Queen.
Well. That's the theory anyway.
