CHAPTER 14: Retrace the Tunnels

[Norjax]

The Gam’A Zone 21D/82 (Evening)

Determined to investigate further, Max strides towards the door, contemplating a brief touch of its surface. However, before he can proceed, the others urge him to explore the tunnel on the opposite side. Reluctantly, Max follows, though his resolve to eventually unlock the ancient portal remains steadfast.

The 20-foot*wide primary passage extends northward into obscurity. The western side tunnel runs for fifty feet before being obstructed by ancient stone rubble. As you contemplate whether to investigate the debris or back out of the tunnel, a hissing noise emanates from the pile of rocks. Silvestri notices a trail of pink liquid oozing out from the blockage. Initially mistaking the sound for wind, he soon discerns that the fluid is bubbling and generating the noise.

The trickling tract advances towards you as if alive!

Silvestri

"Lookout! Back up!"

He gets ready to retreat, but activates his pyrokinetic powers at the globlet:

Pyrokinesis: [1d20+9]=16+9=25

Conscious of the limited space he generates an intense heat pulse around the creature:

Heat pulse:[3d6]=6

Max runs out into the wider corridor.

Denslow backs up. He tosses a non-explosive fruit into the liquid.

Denslow "have an apple" fruit attack [1d20+2]=8+2=10, dmg [1d4]=4

[Anton_E_Gregor]

Anton retreats to the tunnel entrance for a defensive position. Darts at the ready!

Started by the mysterious liquid, Silvestri shouts a warning and then blasts the fluid tendril with a heat pulse from his psychic envelope. The blast evaporates the trickle and curbs the advance of the tendril, until a fruit pod from Denslow drops onto the wet path. The apple instantly shrivels and reconstitutes the pink weird, which now undulates across the floor and stabs at Silvestri!

The dense hydraulic spear pierces the psion’s leather armor before retracting back into the main body of fluid! (DMG 7)

Regretting not having examined the door in the alternate passage, Max becomes the first to sprint out of the tunnel, seeking sanctuary in the main corridor. He is followed by Kurot and Anton.

Silvestri

"It seems to be healed by absorbing things, everyone back up."

The psion backs up 10 feet and tries another fiery blast:

Pyrokinesis: [1d20+9]=15+9=24

[3d6]=8

[Zhym]

Kurot stays out of the way for now, seeing that projectiles only seem to help the...whatever it is...and not having any reason to believe that light would hurt it.

Silvestri withdraws a few paces and then unleashes another fiery blast! A sizeable portion of the aggressive liquid vaporizes, and the remaining bulk bubbles and retreats into the rubble.

Anton asks; Do we have anything that might shock it? The electric fence perhaps?
