Sandy Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 Results of Round Three of the Volt Ant Battle: >Cinna vs. Volt Ant B - Hit Thothwick vs. Volt Ant B - Special Damage Thormanil (Dull Greataxe) vs. Volt Ant B - Shield (Frenzy) >Bartholomew vs. Volt Ant C - Damage Hoptet vs. Volt Ant B - Hit The battle goes on. Cinna is on a roll, as she once again scores a hit on the other Volt Ant for 17 damage. Thotwick gets stung by a paralyzing sting, and he suffers the loss of 7 health and gets stunned for the next round. Thormanil howls in a frenzy, and swings his axe in a wide arch, hitting both ants for 17 damage. The other ant tries to sneak on Bartholomew, but it is too scared to face The Hat. Hoptet defeats the second Volt Ant with a bludgeoning strike of his staff. Only one enemy remains, so the battle continues automatically.

Lightning Bomb – Causes 5 points of lightning-elemental damage to all enemies, doubled if the target is weak to lightning. "Great job everyone. Since Thormanil already has a lighning effect weapon, I'll give one bomb each to: Bartholomew, Thothwick, and myself. Now we can finish this digging." C7

Sandy Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 Cinna's shovel hits something hard. She hits the shovel down again, and something smashes. There are shards of glass among the sand along with a tattered note. It looks like there was a message in a bottle buried there. Cinna picks up the note and reads it.

Darkdragon Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 "Wow, if this is written by Zelda as a little girl it must be very old. I hope when she takes the medicine and wakes up she will be happy to see it and be reminded of her childhood." After showing the rest of the party, Cinna safely stores the old note. The then continues to the last undug area of the sand. A6
Sandy Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 The Shipwreck Shore is full of holes. The sun is already sinking towards the horizon, and the light is quickly fading. The men of the party are watching as the weary Cinna drags her shovel to the last remaining batch of sand on the beach. They've found scorpions, scarabs, crabs and ants along with assorted junk from the beach, but not a single seashell with a black pearl. Hope is diminishing. Did they forget to take something into consideration? Have they overlooked something? Thothwick, Thormanil and Bartholomew walk over to Cinna to watch her dig for the last time. Sand... sand... more sand... nothing but sand. Cinna throws the shovel aside and drops to her knees. Ranger Docken puts a hand on her shoulder. Only the crashing of the waves and the moans of the feverish Bluto can be heard on the darkening beach. What would the party do now?

swils Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 "My vote goes to wringing the guy's neck who told us we'd find a pearl out here. Heh"
Darkdragon Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 "You can get some from the large seashells living on the Shipwreck Shore, but I'm too busy to go digging sand right now. "Well that was a colossal waste of time. I'm not sure where else to look here. Any ideas? I remember the necromancer said to find it here in the giant seashells but I have not found any big shells. Do they only come out at night, anyone have any idea?"
Professor Flitwick Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 ["I can't imagine why clams would only come out at a certain part of the day"] "Very true. I guess we should just head back, and by the pearl from the market place."
Darkdragon Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 "Bartholomew, can you speak with any of the clams? I'm not even sure they are intelligent creatures, but we could try."
Darkdragon Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 "Hey guys, I just had an idea. Maybe the large shells would be washed ashore at high tide."
Brickdoctor Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I speak to the clams, trying to coax them out of their hiding places and figure out where they are.
Darkdragon Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 "I think Thothwick is right, we should just head to the market and buy the pearl."
swils Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 "Damn it all, but I think yer right. I've got sand scratchin' at me in unmentionable places, and I know you've got some nice battle scars from wrestlin' with that shovel for as long as y'have. Sometimes ya just gotta cut yer losses, though."
Sandy Posted January 21, 2012 Author Posted January 21, 2012 I speak to the clams, trying to coax them out of their hiding places and figure out where they are. The sun disappears behind the horizon, and it becomes dark. The party has spent the entire day on the beach digging and fighting. ~THIRD NIGHT IN SALMANDA~ Ranger Docken tries to contact any clams that might be lurking. At first he hears nothing, but then catches a very quiet voice coming from somewhere among the waves. "<Woohooooo!!! It's time for another midnight surfing session! Come on and join me, all you crabby fellas! I might be shy during the day, but at night I'm a real jammer clam!>" The tide comes rushing on the beach, and covers the holes nearest to the waterline with sand (D-row). Will the party dig there or return to the city?
swils Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 "Augh, you've gotta be kiddin' me. Cowabunga clams? Typical. Well, whaddya say, folks?"
Brickdoctor Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Time is of the essence, so let's just go buy the pearl. It's not as if any of is really short on Gold.
Darkdragon Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 "We aren't short of gold but the sauk isn't open at night. What else can we do tonight but dig?"
