Nyx completely annihilates the poor snake with her dagger, that ripped the creature apart, once again covering the party and the room in snake guts. On the other side, Atramor is still tangling with the rat, who manages to dodge away from Atramor's incoming blade. Rufindel tries to switch weapons, but this allows the Bat to unleash attacks on the whole party, dealing 4 damage to each hero. The now only living snake, bashes against Cronk's shield, which does not hurt the paladin. Enemies: Poisonous Snake B Type: Vermin Level: 6 Health: 70/70 Special: Poison Spit: - Poisons whole party.

Cronk vs. Scorpion - Hit Nyx vs. Poisonous Snake B - Damage Atramor vs. Rat B - Miss Rufindel vs. Bat - Critical Hit With half the enemies down, the heroes once again go in, Cronk stomps on the scorpion, dealing a solid 29 damage. Nyx would have gotten bitten by the Snake, but is shielded by Cronk's angel. Atramor fails AGAIN in hitting the rat, who seems to be just messing with the rogue now. Rufindel grips his staff tightly, and with a fine display of martial prowess, knocks the bat right out of the air, taking it out.

CorneliusMurdock Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Cronk will bash Scorpion from front row once again. Cronk thanks his angel once again.
Pandora Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 "Snake guts!! In my hair!! Eeeeewwww, that's going to take ages to get out. I'm going back to spells. Hey Atramor, I'll give you a hand with that pesky Rat with my Wind magic from the back row. Rufindel, could you please target the Snake? I'm hoping you can seal it to prevent us from being poisoned." Party Order: Cronk Nyx Atramor Rufindel
CMP Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Atramor continues his attack, getting extremely irritated at his lack of hits on the rat.
Scubacarrot Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 Results of Round 7 of the Basement battle. Cronk vs. Scorpion - Shield Guardian Angel Nyx vs. Rat B - Greater Spell Atramor vs. Rat B Scorpion - Shield Mug Rufindel uses Scroll of Sealing on Poisonous Snake B - not successful. Cronk starts the round off by once again calling forth his Guardian Angel. Nyx shows off her skill by completely blasting the rat to bits with her magic wind spell, at the cost of 1 ether. The blast causes Atramor, who failed to hit the rat for so long, to be covered with the blood of the rat, along with the innards of the other creatures Nyx caused to explode in gory mess. The perplexed rogue recovers quickly, and switches his attack to the Scorpion, which he stabs right through the body, dealing enough damage to take it out. For some reason, Atramor sees a bag with 36 gold lying next to his feet, which he quickly grabs. Rufindel tries out his Scroll of Sealing, but unfortunately, he can not get the spell off.

Cronk vs. Poisonous Snake B - Meditate Nyx vs. Poisonous Snake B - Shield Spellblade Atramor vs. Poisonous Snake B - Shield Mug Rufindel vs. Poisonous Snake B - Shield Miracle Cronk, with his Guardian Angel next to him, decides to meditate on the events, and restores 1 ether. Nyx has had enough of all the creatures, and decisively finishes off the snake, by first launching off a wind attack, before landing her dagger in the snake's head. With all foes dead, the party gains half a level of experience. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!

CMP Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Atramor smears some rat innards off his face, with a smirk as he pockets the gold. "I'd be happy to take the book, but I don't think Cronk's gotten a weapon he could use yet. Not to mention it'll probably come out as an orcish spider or somethin', judgin' by his angel. So...I suppose we pick another chest."
Pandora Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 "Yeah, take that you smelly snake! And... ... uuhhm, would there be any serious objection to me keeping the book? I'm completely open to reasoning from others. But it better be really convincing reasoning, really, 'cause I really want that book." Nyx realises that she is clutching the book tightly, so tightly her pale knuckles are becoming translucent. She also realises she is almost brandishing it as a weapon towards her friends. With a light shake of her hair, she composes herself, and smiles more warmly, not wishing to upset people she not only depends upon but also cares about. "So, uhm, any particular requests for the Venoms? I'm thinking the Paralysing Venom for Cronk, and the garden-variety Venoms for Rufindel and Atramor?"
CMP Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Atramor remembers it was Nyx who was responsible for the flying rat guts. He hastily decides not to argue the case of the book. "Venom works."
CorneliusMurdock Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Cronk not care about getting book. It funny to think of Cronk bashing evil with literature but Cronk have nice sword already. Cronk not have opinion about venom either. Whatever friend Nyx decide is fine with Cronk.

Scubacarrot Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 There are actually two chests, the party has not checked.
CMP Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Oh, sorry, I thought the chest with the gore in it was the one Cronk suggested. "Well, I assume we should check the top chest. Ain't much sense in debatin' which one we should open since there don't seem to be any distinguishing marks on any of 'em." Edited March 30, 2012 by CallMePieOrDie
Scubacarrot Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Atramor opens the top chest, but for some reason, it is wired to two Fire bombs! A small detonation causes the party to lose 10 health each. If they had had a Magnifying Glass, they could have checked for traps...

CMP Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 McCafferey squawks, and with a mental grumble in the rogue's head, flaps her singed wings rapidly to put out the tiny embers on her feathers. "Right, no, this challenge makes perfect bloody sense...." Atramor sways where he stands, still burned and injured, but merely brushes some of the ash from his shirt and opens the last chest. I feel like I'm moving too fast without everyone else, but there's not much else to do at this point.
Scubacarrot Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 I'll wait until other people post, don't want people to be knocked out now, do we.
CorneliusMurdock Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Cronk not like chest going boom. Cronk will heal Cronk, Nyx, Atramor, and Rufindel before next bad thing has chance to happen. Cronk meditated enough last battle so Rufindel can save ether.
Pandora Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Cronk not like chest going boom. Cronk will heal Cronk, Nyx, Atramor, and Rufindel before next bad thing has chance to happen. Cronk meditated enough last battle so Rufindel can save ether. "No, I didn't like that much either, but thank you for your healing, it is a very generous and kind thing for you to do, Cronk. I guess if we're all definitely healed and prepared for the unexpected, we should carefully open the final chest."
Rufus Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Thank you, Cronk! Rufindel eyes the final chest suspiciously.

The party decides to let Atramor go in first. The rest of the party stands back, Cronk with his shield raised, Rufindel and Nyx in an offensive position, ready to respond to whatever comes out the final chest. Atramor shields himself with arm, and lifts the tip of the chest lid open with his dagger, and... Nothing happens. Atramor takes a closer look, and he finds the Magnifying Glass! *play Zelda music, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VRr9NG7RE0* Magnifying Glass
CorneliusMurdock Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Well that sort of anti-climactic... Cronk suppose friends should go return it to Auntie Quarry.
Pandora Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 "Hurrah, we have been successful in our quest to find an everyday item mislaid by a forgetful old man! We only had to face being blown up and fight off hoards of creepy crawlies... I really hope he can now inform us better about this Strange Amulet... "
Rufus Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Rufindel uses the magnifying glass to magnify his eye for comic effect. No-one laughs.
Scubacarrot Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 The party goes back upstairs, and hand the magnifying glass over to the dwarf. He goes right to work, while muttering phrases along the lines of "Truly remarkable, Magnificent, Tally ho!" etc. Finally, the antiquarian turns to the heroes: "It seems I was right. This is no amulet. At first glance, it appears to be some sort of tribal item, perhaps for ceremonial purposes? But that is not what it is, the inscripted lines are too precise, the symbols too... perfect. When I took a closer look, I was certain. This item is magically constructed. There is only one place I know of, that is capable of making something like this... This, this is a Strivvian Keystone. Forged from a single emerald, it's magic nullified. This item was made ages ago, for one purpose: sealing a single place. This stone is connected to one vault, and it is also the only way to open or close that vault. It is unknown how many there are, and for some the corresponding vault is not even found. But I think it goes without saying, that this item is unique."
