Quest #21 "Island Hopping"

[kruk]

Lerrick looks to see if the indentations were the size of Brutus's fingers or the medusa's fingers.

Can she tell?

[OGRE MAGE]

The indentations inside the bottom of the box are almost the exact same size as a full grown humans index fingertip.

[Karaunios]

No suggestions or new actions for Carucenus.

[Jernau35]

Maag

"Dis is just a guess...if it is for fingers...maybe one is for a man and one is for a woman?"

[Rex]

Tlachtga

"Interesting idea, I am up for trying my finger if one of our brave men is willing to try theirs."

[wolfpack]

just use both of brutus's.

gramble will cut off his 2 index fingers and place them in the indentions

Late Morning, Dank, Damp, Depressing

Alordan can see that the light stones were larger than the depressions in the box, suggesting a search inside the container for any secrets, while most of the people near Lerrick move away from her inquisitive area.

Fingers suddenly becomes the topic of interest, with suggestions offered on size and gender. Tlachtga offers to experiment if one of the boys is willing, when Gramble violently chops two fingers off the severed hand of the rock monster and sticks them into the depressions.

The only result of that action is a small amount of the salty liquid spills out over the sides of the container.

Lerrick


After seeing Gramble's method didn't work she moves away from the rest of the group around 10 feet away. Stay back everyone. I'll try with my fingers. She puts the box on the ground, then kneels next to the box and presses a finger from both of her hands into the depressions with in the box.

[Rex]

Tlachtga

Tlachtga stays back and waits to see what happens.

[Karaunios]

No suggestions or new actions for Carucenus.

[wolfpack]

While lerrick tries gramble will go collect the medusa index fingers

[Jernau35]

Maag

"I 'ope yer don't mind if I don't offer a finger", Maag says. "Mine are needed for more...delicate work." He pats the pouch with his lock picks and other tools of his trade.

Revelations
Freeday, 19th of Goodmonth
Late Morning, Dank, Damp, Depressing

Lerrick clears out the area and sticks two of her own fingers into the wet container next. Both make contact with the bottom of the case, but other than spilling a bit more of its liquid contents over the sides, there is no reaction to her test. The moisture covering her fingers and currently soaking into her skin feels much the same as normal water would.

Gramble chops off a few medusa fingers, experimenting with them the same way he did the others. A good deal of the liquid is absorbed into the dried out digits with no reaction whatsoever. Most of the liquid in the box has now either been spilled or soaked up, leaving only a thin layer remaining covering the bottom of the box and its pair of tiny pools.

Mina watches the ongoing experimentation with a look expressing equal parts of wonderment and confusion.

[wolfpack]

maybe pour some water on cresty see if it has any affect

[Rex]

Tlachtga

"Maybe, I am not very knowledgeable on puzzle boxes." Once the Medusa's remains are off the slab she will search for any secret compartments.

[Jernau35]

Maag

"Yer know," says Maag. "Der water might be der fing dat is keepin' it from doin' sumfin'. Like, once it is dried out, it will open up. Or explode." He gives another of his grim smiles.

"Look, now dat we 'ave got a ring dat looks like it fits der bulls 'ead on der dias, why don't we go 'an see what dat does? Dat is where der treasure is supposed to be. Dat box could be anyfink. We can mess wiv it wherever we like".

[Karaunios]

Carucenus keeps standing guard.

[ravenn4544]

Alordan shrugs, "what if you need need to different people sticking their fingers in there? Or it could mean something completely different"

[Karaunios]

Carucenus "If you're gonna start sticking things in there other than fingers, don't count on me."

[kruk]

Lerrick

I guess we can keep what is left as well as the glass tube. I'll take it back with us and ask around town to see if anyone else know how to use this. I will come back at a later date and try to bring Cresty back. (maybe a new adventure ) Cresty isn't going anywhere. Let's find the treasure and get out of here.
