Rider Raider Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 I heal Petaldan. "It doesn't look easy to climb.
dum Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Kid recovers from the visions and notices the tip of his crossbow in his mouth. He removes it, hoping no one noticed his almost suicidal venture. It seems like these guys came out of their caves or whatever when the salamander was killed. But I don't for a second think that it was just this group. This was just the first wave. What other monsters have we let loose by killing a creature who wouldn't let us pass?
BountyBeast Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Hunkan shakes the hallucinations out of his head. He looks at the bottom of the aludel. "Whatever that glowing orange liquid down there is, I don't want to fall in it. I think we should go up."
Palathadric Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) "Would it be any easier to climb up? It's funny that the doctor sent us in here with no tools for an ascent or descent, he must have known there were things available or he's a very absent-minded doctor." "Thank you for healing me.

I think I still have a bit of sticky residue on my gloves from my climbing adventures a while back. Maybe I could just use it again and climb up here? Edited April 22, 2016 by dum
Waterbrick Down Posted April 22, 2016 Author Posted April 22, 2016 The Party determines that given the concave nature of the glassware, ascending or descending would not prove too challenging.
Alfadas Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I say, let's go down first. We can always climb back up. Maybe there is something there, that is worth seeing?
MysticModulus Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 "Should we descend first and search the bottom before ascending?"
MysticModulus Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Ezeran begins the descent in a slow and cautious fashion.
BountyBeast Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 "Suit yourselves, then. I'll stay here and watch, in case those wisps come back or something."
Palathadric Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I say, let's go down first. We can always climb back up. Maybe there is something there, that is worth seeing? "Sounds like a plan."
Waterbrick Down Posted April 22, 2016 Author Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) The group descends to the sound of haunting music while Hunkan remains topside. A somewhat sweet but sickly aroma fills the bottom of the chamber, within the center of the pool an orange elemental lounges. The music stops upon the Party's descent.

Alfadas Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Who do you call demons, whatever you are? Torald asks, clearly offended by the words of the orange being. What do you offer for us to leave?
Waterbrick Down Posted April 22, 2016 Author Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) The phosphor elemental responds in a calm but serious tone. "The wisps and I must assume you are the ones who brought them here. As for what I offer, how about I don't dissolve your flesh from your bones." Edited April 22, 2016 by Waterbrick Down
MysticModulus Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Ezeran studies the elemental, his face is calm but his temper rising. The symbiont laughs at the elemental. "Do you feel alone? I sense some bitterness in your voice."

MysticModulus Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Ezeran drinks a potion as he waits for a reaction
Rider Raider Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Timothy drinks a remedy tonic. "Must we kill everything?" Edited April 22, 2016 by Rider Raider
Palathadric Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I speak diplomatically. "Why do you call us bringers of demons? Did you see demons down here? We were just trying to find a way to fix this machinery. Who are you please? We mean no trouble, but the state this place is in has left us all rather confused. Were you playing the music?" Timothy drinks a remedy. Since we're not in combat anymore, you should not be confused and shouldn't need to take a remedy.

I sense some bitterness in your voice." "Yes quite alone. Every once in a while I feel the salty breeze upon my face but it is too infrequent for comfort." "We came to figure out why the alchemy set won't work. Who are these workers of foul magic?" Timothy pauses."Also, I'll take your offer." "Are they not yourselves? What trickery is this? Are you not the bringer of the Wisps?" Upon hearing the words "the wisps and I", Kid's hand darts to his crossbow. Are you affiliated with those wisps? "Why would I align myself with such works of devils. Besides aren't you affiliated with the Wisps?" The phosphate golem raises her hand, and a flame bursts bright upon her palm. I speak diplomatically. "Why do you call us bringers of demons? Did you see demons down here? We were just trying to find a way to fix this machinery. Who are you please? We mean no trouble, but the state this place is in has left us all rather confused. Were you playing the music?" The golem extinguishes the flame as the agitation in her voice lowers. "I am Kalalalali, and yes the demonic Wisps have been terrorizing me for the past week. I thought you must have brought them, you being the first being I have seen outside these chambers. As for the music..." The golem closes her eyes and begins to sing. The haunting melody fills the air reverberating off of the glassware, "Tis my favorite song, the Fiery Flamenco."

dum Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Upon hearing her confusion about the wisps, Kid realizes there has been a misunderstanding. His hand retreats from his crossbow and offers it for a handshake. Remembering her ability to melt off flesh, he puts his hand into his pocket instead. "Yes quite alone. Every once in a while I feel the salty breeze upon my face but it is too infrequent for comfort." You must be talking about Sudz. You two should meet. "Are they not yourselves? What trickery is this? Are you not the bringer of the Wisps?" Nah, man. The phosphate golem raises her hand, and a flame bursts bright upon her palm. The golem extinguishes the flame as the agitation in her voice lowers. "I am Kalalalali, and yes the demonic Wisps have been terrorizing me for the past week. I thought you must have brought them, you being the first being I have seen outside these chambers.

Fiery Flamenco (Causes fire-elemental damage equal to the minstrel's level to all enemies instantly. Costs 3 ether per damaged enemy; Battle Song) Kid begins to put two and two together. Well isn't that just poetic. He likes your singing, you like his... smell. Kid shrugs. Not a perfect love story, I'll admit, but it's not like perfect love stories actually exist.
