Switch Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 "Even if you go close I wouldn't touch it or try opening it - usually when people make traps they like to try and lure you in with pretty shiny gemstones and the like." Ford keeps his distance, his hand on his sheath. "Though maybe it is a little bit too obvious..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 As you advance towards the box the effect 'dampen magic' Lurel has sensed in the atmosphere causes Lisette's flame spell to fail. Midge's spoon glows brightly. It gives you enough light to see the crossroads itself is empty of anything but the box. The continuation passage in front of you is too dimly lit to see into. You cannot see what is in the crossing passage at all. Perhaps you hear the sound of running footsteps but, if it is not a trick of your ears, they are running away from you. The whispering sounds are ever present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunky_Moose Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Lisette concentrated hard but the flame could not be re-ignited and the dampening effect of the walls countered her efforts. She peered into the gloom at the golden box and unsheathed her dagger. Unable to decide what it would be more effective as, she left it as a dagger and walked slowly towards the box holding the flame out infront of her to try and dispel the darkness around. She stopped and glanced at the Midge's brightly glowing spoon. She was about halfway up the passageway and was equidistant from the rest of the party and the box. She looked to Lurel and called over, "So? Do I touch the box?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 "Wait!" Lurel calls out. "There is danger here - it may well be the box itself. Watch out, I'm going to try something - move back a few steps!" He rummages in his pack looking for a missile, and finds a boiled egg, which he proceeds to throw at the box. If the box is trapped, he reasons, the impact might well trigger the trap before any of them are close enough to be harmed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 The boiled egg hits the box and rolls into one of the side passages. The box is undamaged and the impact does not discharge a trap. Where the egg has rolled their are sounds that could be a scuffle. The footsteps that might have been running away can be heard again getting louder. This time the sound is coming from behind you.

Chunky_Moose Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 OOC: Tell me if i'm not allowed weapons that aren't in MW IC: Lisette tensed up at the noises and looked speculatively at the others. She closed her eyes and the dagger in her hand slowly transformed into a viciously jagged long-toothed dagger. She held it ready for something, anything to leap from the walls themselves.

ThetaOrionis01 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 "Sounds like those passages are looping," Lurel murmurs as he draws his dagger. The darkness in the side tunnels, and their inability to see into them, only heightens his sense of being in a trap. "Don't be alarmed," he says. "I'm going to try to do a partial werewolf transformation - just enough to heighten my senses, not enough to turn into a wolf. Perhaps that way I can find out a bit more about what's going on in this gloom." He commences the partial transformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 There is movement in the passage facing you, there are at least two in the side tunnels and at least one running from behind you. Whatever is running at you is making no attempt to be quiet. The shadow seems huge and blots out most of the remaining light. It is hard to see where your friends are. OOC> I assume you wouldn't leave Midge or the Princess to bring up the rear so the order must be Lisette, Lurel, Midge, Siffli, Ford with Ford most at risk from the one running - correct me if I am wrong.

Switch Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 "Oh man." Ford turns to face whatever's coming at them, sword held out in front of him. "Now would be a good time to find a light..." He steps back slowly, trying not to trip in the darkness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 *OOC - I'm assuming the partial transformation leaves Lurel human, with heightened vision, hearing and smell* "Lisette!" Lurel yells. "Behind us!!" He tries to cast a light spell, but isn't sure whether it will work in this place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
