Chapter I: Volokarnos

Nym

What pools are left we haven't tried?

I expected the others to help you out, but I'll answer tomorrow.

[Rex]

Nym

OK, no rush.

[ffilz]

Yes, and what have we ascertained so far? Sometimes it's hard to follow all the details in PbP.

[Lance]

The upside is that you can just reread everything, it's all there!

What pools are left we haven't tried?

Harlan... snorts, then dips up a swallow of the water from the unicorn fountain.

Weezel grabs another of the goblets off the floor and approaches the statue of the muscleman.

Nym... will take a goblet and try drinking some of the water from the fountain the green slime attacked her from. (eagle)

Harlan... collects a little water from the arguing men fountain, and takes a cautious sip.

Weezel will dip a goblet into the font with the twin legionnaires. "Your patience pays off as the goblet melts in your hand, leaving your hand and the floor underneath wet but unharmed."

Nym takes an arrow and holds it under each fountain in sequence... The hunting dog third, it's water leaving no mark, but a slight reddish tint on the tip.

Fonts untested:

• Mage pouring water on enthroned monarch’s feet, painted with red “X” sign; it's water clear
• Barbarian in loincloth; it's water sizzling hot, sparkling

Fonts tested but no drank from:

1. Hunting dog trying to escape a net; it's water reddish

[Bluetongue]

Apart from Weezel melting a goblet, has any of the other waters produced a tangible effect?

Fairfax lets others play guinea-pig to the risk/rewards gained from drinking.

[Rex]

Nym

Nym will fill her goblet with the Barbarian water and let it cool, then try some.

[Spearmint]

Rooney

Watches Eronin go back to the boat we took here.
He waits for the party to drink their fill then decide where we go to next.

Through the north passage from the Obelisk room or raid the bronze door in the side passage and get some ancient dwarven relics or burial goods for our troubles?

[Zhym]

Burkus continues to keep watch.

Good plan.

[doppelganger]

Weezel shrugs and tosses back a few hearty gulps of the salty water from the font of the musclemen.

He burps and wipes his mouth with his sleeve.

"Now I'm interested in that bronze door we passed, but didn't you fellows find that door was locked?"

[Urson]

Harlan
But that leaves the other door back in the pylon room- anything could sneak out of there and bite us on the rump. With his wrinkles and burns, it's hard to tell- but he seems to be frowning.

[Spearmint]

Rooney

Tried but failed to lockpick the bronze door open, hence I suggested just using a crowbar and some brute force to open it.

[Lance]

Nym

Nym will fill her goblet with the Barbarian water and let it cool, then try some.

Nym feels an unnatural bulge in your muscles, causing a searing pain to shoot through her body. Once the pain stops, she is left feeling more powerful than before.

Please subtract 2 hp.

Weezel shrugs and tosses back a few hearty gulps of the salty water from the font of the musclemen.

He burps and wipes his mouth with his sleeve.

You already drank from the font of the muscleman. There is no musclemen, plural. Which one did you mean?

[Rex]

Nym

"That didn't feel good. But I feel different. Not sure if it was beneficial or not but it is most certainly not normal water."

Sheet updated.

Sorry, I had it as plural in my head. I meant the font of the singular muscleman: "Muscleman struggling with giant centipedes crawling over his body; it's water surrounded by crystal deposits." I had just a sip (I thought).. If so, I would like to drink more, to see if it has an effect.

I see! In that case, not additional effects present themselves.

Rooney

"What do you dwarves think about opening this side bronze door? Shall we do that now or later?" he asks, crowbar in hand to help provide some grit to force the unlockable door open.

As an Elf I have no opinion on mining the door open!

I'll just keep the Porter and the Dog out of the way

[Rex]

Nym

"Not a Dwarf, but have at it if you want."
