Chapter 8 - Into the Swamp

[Rex]

Egon

"Maybe slowly burning it away with a torch?"

[gurusql]

Del

"I would recommend we find an alternative path. If it is what I suspect fire of any kind is an unwanted choice."

[Edeldhur]

Tellurion

Where is a Druid when you need one?

Tellurion attempts to scrape a bit of the brown stuff with the tip of one of his daggers.

the mold scrapes away and nothing happens aside from the area being cleared of mold.

[BaltoBruiser]

Kravoud

Kagyar's divine power does not allow me to create life forms but can any of us produce a piglet that can test out the path through that mold?

[Rex]

Egon

"No, but I can toss some rubble in from a few feet back from the door."

[GreyWolfVT]

remember there is a skeleton you can always try tossing into the mold 1 in the cell and one further back near the water pool in the ogre cave.

[Rex]

Egon

Good idea, thanks.

"I will grab the skeleton and see what happens."

He goes to grab the skeleton and throw into the mold.

[Edeldhur]

Tellurion

Assists Egon with the skeleton tossing.

[Cwreando]

Trist and Jivet

Trist and Jivet are as far back as 35ft or max if less than 35ft.

"We'll be back here if you need anything. I would say most should be back here too so just one might have to deal with any backlash."

Jivet hop in so you are touching me inside the top part of my tunic please.

[GreyWolfVT]

The skeleton is picked up most of it stays intact when picked up and tossed into the mold. It flies through the air and lands with a sort of almost splat and nothing else happens.

[Rex]

Egon

"Lets give it a minute and see if anything happens."

[gurusql]

Del

"When you scrapped it off with the knife and your body heat was close enough it you were able to prove it is unlikely what I was fearing it to be. I withdraw my objection to the torch."

[Edeldhur]

Tellurion

Lights a torch, and brings it closer to a patch of mold on the wall and floor.

[Rex]

Egon

Egon will help Tellurion clear the brown stuff so they can at least get to the door.

[GreyWolfVT]

Waiting a minute nothing happens still. Switching to torches the two burn off the rest of the mold in the room. Clearing a path to the other two doors in the room and making it clear to move through without any mold touching anyone. It takes maybe an hour. The mound of mold upon the desk once burned away reveals what it was concealing a large wooden club. The desk has a few draws you notice after burning and scraping the mold away.

[gurusql]

Del

Dell will keep watch with the slow work that is required.

[Rex]

Egon

Egon will examine the club. Does it have any markings or look special in any way?

[shaidar]

Weston

"Good job dealing with the brown fungi, I've never really had a need to learn about that kind of thing."

He'll join Egon in visually examining the club.
