CorneliusMurdock Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Hmm. Cronk not sure Cronk like being watched by followers of Zoot. But Cronk love helmet-shaped cookies. Cronk is torn. In any case, Cronk will remain behind with Felton and Hans. Felton, Hans, and Mr. Cleric will need looking after. Cronk does not think Cronk can trust to Lady's word. Cronk has given this much thought. In Cronk's absence, Cronk choose Jess to be party leader. Cronk knows that Jess will make a good leader. Lead friends to safety, Friend Jess. Cronk will look after other friends that remain. Cronk give Cronk's Bronze Longsword (WP: 3) to Rogue Henry. Cronk also suggest that Henry give Henry's shuriken to Rogue Thothwick so that Thothwick may attack twice before retrieving weapons. Quote

Peanuts Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 After watching quietly the other heroes making a decision who to leave back, Henry finally speaks up: "That's very noble of you to stay back, Cronk. I would have thought that I should do so, as I'd be the least useful one, but I grudgingly accept your sacrifice." Henry cheers inwardly. "And good work solving the anagram. And thanks for that sword. Finally some weapon I don't have to retrive every time." He happily hands Thotwick the Shuriken. "I'd suggest we go left. What do you think?" Quote
Khorne Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Eric felt as if a heavy burden had fallen of his shoulders. The anagram that had bothered his mind for so long, finally got solved. It did surprise Eric greatly however, that is was Cronk who solved it and not ranger Docken as Eric would've guessed. The Barbarian had stood silent while the others were discussing who should be the one left behind. In yet another surprising turn of events, the choice had fallen upon Cronk, who had volunteered to stay behind. Eric felt sore at the thought of losing the Orc's hitting powers, but as the party leader, his choice was the final word and his will was law. "Hopefully we won't run into another group of guards. Your strength and sword will surely be missed, Cronk, but I'm sure all of us will be reunited soon." Quote
Sisco Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Jess nodded grimly at Cronk. "We'll be back for you in a jiff, friend!" Turning to the party she now found herself suddenly leader of, Jess spoke. "Which way? I'm fine with Left, as Henry suggested." Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 "Sorry you have to stay Mr. Cronk. I know I wasn't here, but you were must've been a good leader to rescue us!" "Ah, thank you for the extra Shuriken, Mr. Sicariul, this should help make fighting our way out of here easier." Quote
Brickdoctor Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 To be honest, I'm a little disoriented right now, but I believe Left heads towards the cavern we started in. Quote
JimBee Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Hmph. The orc actually got it... Well done, Cronk, I knew we had to solve that riddle sometime. Though that goo... you're sure we won't be needed it (and you to wield it)? In any case, could we see that map that you had made, Cronk? I'm sure it would help when navigating these tunnels... Quote
Zepher Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 <Since your quest master is kind to you, he will supply you with a crude map of the areas you've already explored. He'll also remind you that Cronk is gone, left behind... so you can't ask him for help.> The party trades around some weapons.

Drops: Hammer of Gods (WP: 4, suitable for Barbarians) Suddenly they hear a rumbling behind them. They turn to see the hall that they just traveled down, totally caved in. They can not come back the way they've come. Hallways Traveled: 23 Phil holds out a map. "Felton gave this to me before we separated! He thought we'd need it, he says Cronk has a reliable copy too. Of course, we can't go back that way any longer..." The party travels right, and gets a shock, all losing one health.

Brickdoctor Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Oh, so all the hallways are the same length? That makes things a lot easier. This should be correct, then: I suggest we turn Left. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Hallways Traveled: 25 OOC: Huh? Did we actually turn Left at my command as opposed to cralegoboy's? And why aren't we told what the hallways in front of us are? Or did you make a mistake in the number of hallways traveled? Quote
Brickdoctor Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Okay, guys, either the hallways are moving by themselves and we can't tell, our Health is being sucked away, or there's some other sort of magic involved. I hope it's okay if I make a decision while our Party Leader is quiet. If I can I lead the party around the corner to our Left. Quote
Zepher Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) The party goes to the left. They enter into a slightly larger room than previous ones. From the right comes voices and extremely faint jazz-like music, from the left comes... more dim light. From backwards comes where they came from.

Zepher Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 "Ech ech ech. Hold on Mr. Hot Rod. I have a note from your friend Cronk. Four words, figure it out. Overreach Slunk Spy. Remember to look from names, and remember how he speaks!" "Remember the spirit of Cronk to explore everything! Other people may be counting on you." Quote
JimBee Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Another anagram... hmm... So far, I've come up with "Cronk have" for the first two words, but I'm not sure if Cronk would say "Cronk has"... Either way I think both of those would have to have a proper noun(s) for the remaining word(s). No "Z" or "W", so definitely not Zoot or Wren... I've also considered "heal" or "heals" as possibilities. Quote
Zepher Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 "The word Cronk is correct. There are three more. For the cost of one health from one of you I'll give you one more word!" You may NOW advance in any direction if you so choose. Quote
JimBee Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 I don't think that will be necessary. I believe the anagram includes "Cronk" and "spy" (even though spy is already spelled out...). Let's try... Cronk values her spy. No, that can't be right... I'll let someone else try it. Quote
