The tentacles jellify the vegemites they hold. The corridor ahead is covered in a thick, brown paste as the tentacles do their work. The splattering sap puts out the torch.

The remaining plant creatures back up. You believe you can just espy on peeking around the corner, watching you, but it is almost impossible to tell in the dark of the T intersection with the whipping of the tentacles. Other than their thud thud thud, all appears to be quiet.

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes scowls at the lone veggie guy spying on us and he motions for him. "Come here! What's the matter? Come on!"

He growls under his breath...

"It won't get within ten feet of us,"says Ulster.

"We can leave them be, or we can follow them knowing they can't touch us. What do you want to do?"

Castinus - Human thief

Let's follow them, then.
These are ghouls. They hang out in graveyards, they have long tongues, and they eat people.

Grimes nods weakly. "Sure, let's follow em.'

OOC: Sounds good. Grimes is just anxious to: Act rashly, chop, chop, chop, holler, chop, chop, holler, rinse and repeat.

The party heads to the T intersection and the tentacles retreat back to wherever they come from. It is dark in the hall, the liquified plant men having extinguished the torch. You see no plant men in either direction, the one that had been watching you having melted into the shadows.

Castinus nods at Algrim's suggestion to start by going left.

The party heads left. As you pass the rooms, you note that all appear empty of veggie men, though full of detritus. Perhaps one of the plant creatures is hiding there, though you doubt it.

Image

As you near the end of the hall, you espy a grouping of mushrooms. As the anti-plant shield pushes them back, they begin shrieking very loudly. Fido "barks" at the shriekers, but is frustrated that it cannot get through the shield to bite at them.

From behind, some sort of projectile hits the force field. It richlochets off.

Castinus wheels around, sword in hand, hoping to catch a glimpse of the party's cowardly assailant.

seen? [1d100] = 82

Castinus sees something (a leg perhaps?) at the edge of light but it flees back beyond sight.

Grimes - Foolish Halfling of Poseidon

Grimes smiles and whips around, intent on finding the projectile assailant. "Aha! I'm comin' for ya, coward! EEEE YAAAA!"

Grimes will charge off in search of the attacker.

Algrim turns and heads towards the fleeing cowardly foe spear at the ready in one hand shield in the other.
