Chapter 28 - Down down

[badams30]

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes quietly follows, taking great pains to avoid stepping on any toot-bat corpses.

[Craigers07]

Furuk - Fighter

Furuk heads back into the room and steps up onto the stage. He points to the southeast door at the back of the stage.

"That way? I'm ok with wherever the fearless little guy wants to go."

[GreyWolfVT]

Algrim goes back to the stage and opens the other door that was not opened yet.

[greyarea]

A moment after you open the door, a bright light turns on shining on you, as if the light is focused. The light source is about 40' from you and very bright. You notice a curtain to the east (your left) and a series of doors on the right, with various furniture and other things filling the space. The area behind the light is dark in contrast.

surprise [1d6] = 6 The party is not surprised. Awww.

A creature stands behind the light (-2 to attack him) and is obviously hostile. He has a blaster in one hand and an "egg" in the other, ready to fight.

[merias]

Dandy moves back towards the stage and room as soon as he sees or hears a commotion.

[GreyWolfVT]

Algrim tries to shut the door "I'm thinkin that thin is just tryin ta protect it's egg."

[badams30]

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes shouts "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT UGLY THING? He's fixin' ta take us on!"

If possible, Grimes will toss a web on the thing to slow him down.

Dieter - Mage

Ugly... Dieter hits the thing with a lightning bolt.

Lightning [10d6] = 30+[1d6] = 3 = 33
OCC: I'm using the lightning bolt definition from the LL-AEC, let me know if there are any issues. The second 1d6 is due to an 10 dice limit on Unseen Servant (IE: I cannot do 11d6).

[tumblingdice]

Castinus - human thief

Castinus fires at the alien with his bow of doubling +1.
[1d20+3] = 4+3 = 7
Whiff!

OC: Arrow deducted.

[Zhym]

"Get him, Prime!" says Ulster. He says the word to activate his shiny cloak before putting his gas mask on, just in case.

If he has time after all that, Ulster uses his staff to create a Wall of Thorns blocking the creature's retreat (and, if possible, on top of the creature itself).

Furuk-Fighter

Furuk steps through the door and takes a shot at the ugly creature.

Laser Pistol [1d20+2] = 6+2 = 8 Damage [2d10+2] = 6+2 = 8

[greyarea]

You are one ugly mother.... round 1

Initiative players [1d6] = 1, baddies [1d6] = 2

The creature throws his "egg" -- really a grenade! monster attack [1d20] = 1 derp! He is immediately caught in a cloud of gas, the grenade went off prematurely (darn ancient space weaponry). monster save vs poison (7) [1d20] = 2 Double derp! He collapses into a heap, snoring loudly.

Well, that didn't work well. Y'all can coup de gras him if you'd like, your spells, arrows, etc were not used as he took himself out of the fight.

[GreyWolfVT]

Algrim "Guess I get ta finish em off then eh?" the dwarf adds as he thrusts his spear into the wriggling form of what is left of the creature near the egg.

Spear +3 [1d20+3] = 12+3 = 15 To Hit [1d6+3] = 5+3 = 8 Dmg

[badams30]

Grimes - fighter

Upon seeing the thing fumble and collapse into sleep, Grimes does his best Nelson (from the Simpsons) impression: "HA HA!" He snorts "That'll teach ya, ya ugly head monster thing!"

OOC: Oblivious to the peril the thing could have caused us, Grimes pushes past the soon to be dead thing and begins to rifle through the contents of the room.

[spanningtree]

Dieter - Mage

Dieter puts on his respirator and will slice it's throat if it appears to need some extra help being dead.

[Craigers07]

Furuk-Fighter

Furuk searches the room.

[tumblingdice]

Castinus - human thief

Castinus stops to regard the soon-to-be-dead alien. He'll then search the room with Furuk.

[Zhym]

Ulster stops, mid-staff-wave. "Huh. I'd heard those were a lot more dangerous than that."

When the others are done with the body, Ulster offers Prime an illithid snack.

[greyarea]

The creature is quickly dispatched, the sleep gas providing some difficulty to avoid for those without masks, but not enough to matter in the end.

On the creature and in its habitat, you find, an orange card, a blaster pistol with 1 charge left, a portable spotlight, 1 poison and 1 sleep gas grenades, 37 base 10 g.p. gems, 5 pieces of jewelry (1,000 - 6,000 g.p. value) and 109 p.p. In his room you also find a few devices that, once you handle them, you are immediately reminded of your reason for being here.

Blackrazor's Bargain

These two friends of yours, their souls are my sustenance. I can hardly just return them, or else I'd need to replace them, with yours perhaps...

Hmmm. Or...

The dark form seems to think.

I have something else that I need. I have been trapped in this form for far too long, stuck here in this place for eons. I long to return to where I come from. You seem like able adventurers, perhaps we can trade. I need parts from a ship, alien to your world, but that would allow me to return to my own plane. I will allow your friends to return to their bodies if you seek out these parts for me. It seems that they would be more use with you than as food for me.

Blackrazor's Bargain

The other closets have props as for a play (or plays). There is a huge curtain to the east, like the one in the previous room.

Dieter - Mage

Dieter's eyes widen: I think we just found what most of us were looking for...

OCC: How big are these parts?
