Chapter 1c: The Fountain Room

[AleBelly]

Cotrgic and Duala beat and stab the disgusting white grub as it retreats into the ground. Duala's pitchfork draws pale yellow ichor from its hide, and they think they've nearly slain the beast...but it just barely escapes with its life and Ayre and Baye's bodies.

The room quickly returns to silence. It is in even more disarray that when you first entered. There is a normal-sized door to the left and the dwarf-sized door from which you entered.

Actions?

Cotgric & Duala

The duo look at each other in disbelief as to what just happened. Cotgric says, "Holy Mother Stone that creature must come from the depths of the underworld itself. We need to quickly search the room and then try that far door."

Duala say, "Any chance we could recuse the others?" as he lights a torch. (If the torch was Baye was left he takes over carrying that instead.)

Cotgric answers plainly, "No."

The Cotgric gives the room a quick search while Duala checks the door for traps.

Roll for Cotgric - [_1d20]=(10)=10
Roll for Duala - [_1d20]=(4)=4

[AleBelly]

A quick search of the room reveals nothing of value, and a check of the door reveals nothing but a normal - if very old - sturdy wooden door. The door is unlocked.

Cotgric and Duala are awarded 3xp

Cotgric & Duala

Duala will open the door torch in hand and lead the way for the duo.

[AleBelly]

Duala opens the door which reveals stairs heading up about ten feet to another door. Cotgric sees this passage was hewn like the others...by dwarves.

Cotgric & Duala

The Cotgric will watch while Duala checks the door for traps. If no traps are found then Duala will open up with one character standing to each side (so that when a crossbow fires it will go between them.)

[AleBelly]

Sounds good. I'm going to wait on this thread for just a bit to sync up with the others.

[AleBelly]

Okay, Duala and Cotgric stand on either side of the door after finding no traps. They kick it open. No bolt flies at them, but they can hear the din of battle and familiar voices on the other side. They have met up with their fellows again!

Feel free to post in the main thread, remembering that Cotgric's movement is only 20' and Duala's 30' (each square is 5'). They can take two movements in a single round but the second move takes the place of any attack (so Duala can move 30' and attack or move 60').
