Should Telkis roll a new attack with Cranach or is his ranged attack spoiled and he loses a round? Hilariously, I designed him to be a ranged fighter all those years ago. Between then and now he’s managed to use his bow about 4 times…

Save vs. Paralysis (13): [1d20]=19

Determined not to succumb, Telkis fights through the tightening of his frame…

The irony.

Also, everybody praises the sophistication of Yrkoon's posts (and rightly so) but I managed to get a mention of "armpit farts" into mine. I feel like I deserve some sort of medal.

Kiri ties an empty sack, bandana style, around his head, ready to be lowered over his eyes. He hands a torch and the mirror to Grandfather. "No need for us all to go down," he says to the party. "Listen to me Grandfather, this is important - not a game. ...Please be serious for a mom...

Grandfather needs a torch so that the basilisk/medusa/whatever can see itself in the mirror. If he cannot carry both the torch and the mirror, someone needs to. Whoever that someone is, they would need to be blindfolded. Good thinking. I hadn't considered the light source. I double checked to be su...

"There is one of us that has no fear of being turned to stone, as these people surely were, and he's standing right there." says Kiri. He points to the empty space to his left. "Perhaps we give him the mirror and send him ahead." Kiri casts Unseen Servant. The upside down visage...

In Telkis's experience, skulls for faces means they won't be talking their way out of this. It also sometimes means getting your life essence pulled right out of you – an experience he won't willingly repeat. He he draws his neglected short bow and fires two arrows at the most opportune target: Shor...

Telkis tries to get a feel in the morning gloom for how big the graveyard is and if they might circumvent it to pick up the trail on the other side. For some reason his nerves are telling him to expect an ambush. “Feels intentional, this route. I don’t like it. I say we go around, if possible,” he ...

Descending the stair and approaching the doorframe, Kiri gives a low whistle as he takes in the unusual and foreboding scene before checking the floor for the next presumed opening to the floor below.

Cool, thanks. Sorry I missed all this discussion, but agree with where we landed.

Stuck on the darkened stairs, Kiri wonders what new deadly obstacle is holding them up.

"We can if people can manage..." says Telkis, "Truthfully, I feel there's but one item that is really important."

He searches amongst the items for Ingrid's holy symbol of Tritherion.

“Perhaps it opens the same way as the one above,” says Kiri. He stows the vessels in his pack and prepares for whatever lies on the underside of the trap door.

Telkis looks his fellow gnome in the eye. “Här ğoon mo erstë mourüt, allé røøst erstîn måola.” “I cannot express to you how much I would like to stay here until dawn. If we go now, we may not survive, but if we delay, Ingrid is lost. I feel we have no choice.” After a pause, he adds in common, “We ...

"Thank you, sir, you're very brave," Telkis replies to the rabbit, "Now go make yourself safe." He nods to the newcomer, Jaelen. Images of former party members who have not made it this far flash through his mind. I'm Telkis. "We're happy for your help. I'd say it was a ple...

Kiri picks up the clay vessels and replies to Torix: "Something inside, yes. Unless, Amethu, you have some idea what these marks might indicate, I'll store them away until I can have a better look at them tomorrow with the magic eye."

Kiri grunts and approaches to inspect the altar, curious if it might slide or tilt to reveal a passage down…

Telkis begins gathering his things before the discussion of what to do even begins. In no time he is by the door, ready to strike out into the woods at night. Once outside, he gives a soft call, beckoning to any burrowing woodland creature who might be able to help follow Ingrid or tell where she w...
