He could fake paralysis and then free us later? That too risky? :)

Nice TH roll!!!
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Well that was some drama! Visual and cinemagraphic. Regrettably, no less unpleasant for one on the receiving end.... :)

Hi everyone,
New DM post is up.
corum wrote: ↑Thu May 15, 2025 6:01 pm what do we have DM? Did our stuff get taken?
You have all your gear, even the weapons you were holding, thanks to the rigor mortis or paralysis.

SocraticLawyer wrote: ↑Thu May 15, 2025 9:55 pm Can Urdur cast spells while chin-deep in water? How wide are the bars of his cell? Could he squeeze through them with a Change Self?
No spells with a somatic component may be cast here by Urdur.
Change Self is an Illusion/Phantasm not an Alteration. It's an amazing illusory disguise. It does not physically alter your size or shape.

Yes, only one door, on the east wall.

The hoods were your cloaks pulled up around your heads and tied. They are soaked from when you were dragged through the water down here:

After they are sated from their grisly feast, they return their terrible attention to their living victims and tie the heroes' cloaks around their heads, to blind them should they unexpectedly emerge from their stricken condition.

Dragged down stairwells, twisting, turning in the darkness, the villains' voices echoing all around them now. And then they plunge into filthy icy water, and are hauled through it.

All their gear is with them, and soaked through.

I feel like Telkis was overlooked simply because his head is barely peeking over the waterline (and he's being very quiet). That's heightism. :)
