"Nah mate. Its the meats I picked up from the meal at Hems. The stout bastard put on a feast. So Elmo filled his pockets. I don't know how many feast we'll be receiving in the days and weeks to come. Best to stock up." elmo Smiles and puts a handful of varied cured meats into Grem's pocket. "I hadn't seen ye fight in a while mate. I had almost forgot what dwarven fury looked like me stout companion. I only with that there was more light. I would have loved to have had a better look the justice that Benny boy be dispensing."
Elmo puts a friendly hand on his Grem's shoulder.
"Its good to be partied up with ye again mate. Its be a right blast." Elmo removes his hand and gets a little awkward.
"So... if ye aint going to do anything with Mistress Ylsa's flirtatious advances, then would ye mind putting in a good word for Ol'Elmo?"
Gremryl smiles in the dark.. you can right see his teeth through his beard!
“Elmo ye a master at crafting meats of the salty and dried variety lad. Might be ye open up a cured meat shop once ye settle down. They be tasty and delightful my food friend!
its good to be traveling with ye once again indeed. The shield ye gave me is something moradin himself would wield himself my man! I see that devilish crossbow of yours and your keen eye make ye ruthless my man. As for Ysla, aye a sight to behold! Ye May advance upon her as ye be one of the gayest halfings I’ve met. Me heart is set for me wife lad. I pray we get to her in time. I’ve spent so much time thinking she is gone, I don’t be knowing what to say when I see her..
but come that’s for another day! Be on the look out.. I be wanting to get to my size here soon..”
"Aye master dwarf. Perhaps a simple life of selling fine cured meats if the life for Elmo. I never thought of it before, and it may be the under dark talking right now, but that meat shop dream sounds right lovely mate."
Elmo takes the growing shroom. Upon being of similar size to grem, perhaps bigger? Elmo says to Grem,
"Hey there little guy!" Elmo sizes grem up for a second and says, "I want to try something mate. Ye wont like it, but it will make me a legend among my kin." Elmo gulps and attemps to get Grem in a head lock.
Watching Elmo grow into his size Gremryl looks surprised and a little befuddled.
“Not fair master elmo, I would have still have to be smaller to give you a chance lad... “
deftly like a mini dwarven ninja he will attempt to dodge the headlock and use some of the duergar wrestling techniques taught to him by Hemeth to pass the headlock and put elmo in an arm bar.
Elmo's attempt to put Gremryl in a headlock, even after matching him in size, fails him in strength, and with perfect technique, the Dwarf out muscles the Halfling into a reverse Adbarrian arm-bar...sending shooting pains up Elmo's forearm, and driving into his shoulder.
“Not so fast Master Elmo... ye attacked a dwarf unprovoked.. there must be consequences “ he says with a gleam in his eye and a smirk in his voice “before I let ye go.. ye must say ‘Gremryl stonbreaker is the mightiest dwarf in all the realms, and his beard be majestic like that of the gods”
While Elmo and Gremryl wrastle with each other, and Rowland waits patiently for the group to decide which route to take while others leave blank stares only visible to those with eyes that can pierce the blackness, a rustle is heard from the fungal thickets. Out scurries a Swarm of Centipedes, taking our adventurers by surprise! Except Rowland, who remains vigilant and Mikey, who is unaware of the group's encounter since he's outside of the fungal forest standing guard.
Elmo and Gremryl are closest to the swarm and Elmo is first to be attacked. As Gremryl is releasing his reverse Adbarrian arm-bar on Elmo, the Swarm of Centipedes scurries up Elmo's legs, towards his Halfling-bits and bites into his flesh causing a very painful and awkward 11 points of damage!
In a flurry of attacks, Rowland slices up each of the centipedes clinging to Elmo's thighs and partially shreds some of Elmo's pants in the process. The centipedes are reduced to pieces! Another rustling of noise comes from behind Leon...it's a Swarm of Spiders!
(waiting on Leon and Elmo to roll Initiative to determine who goes next. The spiders rolled a very high initiative)
