Allansia Wildlands Campaign.

Herman steps back from the flow of lava and remains on the lookout, worried that the demon will show up again

READY ACTION: Attack if the demon shows up

Garet immerses himself in the eerie silence not trusting the fact that the demon will reappear he twirls his dagger in his off hand keeping himself mentally ready to strike should the beast reappear.

Action ready attack should demon reappear.

Zeltheris elemental has 60' tremor sense, would it be able to tell where the demon is at/going? If so, it would attempt to move to position itself above where it might come out and ready an attack while Zeltheris takes a breath to yell at it again. (Readied action for more vicious mocking.)

Brocc glances to the ceiling, lifting his mattock and beginning to sing a dwarven work song. A pulse of power extends out from the hammer, coating the area above, where the lava is pouring through. The area flashes briefly, causing anyone looking to blink. As Brocc does so, he tries to tell if it worked or not...

Using one of the mattock's powers to try to shore up and fix the tunnel, hoping to stop the flow of lava. Not sure if it will work here, but felt it worth a try.

Quote from Brian_Avery >>

While doing a hotfoot dance, Banzo will use the magical dagger he picked up to scrape and slough any globs of magma still adhering to his tough wrinkled skin or hard shell. At the same time he will move away from the area where the lava is pouring into the room. The result appears as if Banzo has started to do some kind of crazy rain dance.

The elemental remained where it was but its head was tracking across the floor until it was staring straight down at its own feet....

Brocc is able to begin diverting the lava flow from the ceiling back toward the central pillar, but the Mattock did not work fast.....but certainly seemed to be effective, given time.

Shalana moved in close and coiled into a defensive stance.

.................................

The earth elemental continues staring down at its feet, Zeltheris can feel it wanting to sink into the earth and attack the pretender...

(ooc: can you clarify what is happening with what has happened? in post #2881 you said Pelucidis vanished from sight, this why everyone readied an action, for when he might reappear... but in post #2887 you say the elemental remained where it was but was/and continues to stare at it's feet?)

(did it leave and come back... we would all ready our actions.)

(was it always here staring at it's feet... we might of attacked it instead of readying to attack it.)

( NB. I use Pelucidis or Rock Demon for the enemy, Elemental is Zeltheris' summoned Earth Elemental.)

 (Zeltheris's summoned elemental.)

( Me too, apparently. Apologies to Zeltheris and Brocc. :) )

(I was thinking, wow Brocc could summon an earth elemental... cool. Must have happened while I was off and Brocc was botted. Now I am just like, bummer, guess he doesn't have that cool option... oh well.)

(Who's turn is it?)

( Anyone's really.  Elemental and Demon are in a staring contest you can only see half of for now.)

Zeltheris looks around at the others, "So, uh, does anyone have any ideas on how to get it back up here? My elemental can go down to it, probably, but it would be just like that creature, it won't leave a path for us to follow."

Brocc continues to sing his dwarven work song as he repairs the tunnel ceiling.

Shalana makes an exaggerated shrug and buzzes slightly, " Entity is not patient based on past encounters."

Rolls of no consequence....probably...

Zeltheris continues to wait, starting to hum a quiet tune to himself.

"Once I get the ceiling repaired, then I'd suggest we grab what we found of interest here and move out." Brocc agrees as he works to continue the dwarf work song and fix the ceiling. "I'd rather not fight the thing at all if we can manage it, so let it hide in the earth as long as it wishes..."

Zeltheris shrugs, "It's not very heroic, but maybe it'll follow us and you can defeat it then."

((ooc: months have passed since we embarked in these mines so I must ask everyone: if I remember well, we went into these hills to find an important healer, then we bent into this hill/mine, just to findv all those dwarven corpses and the demon. now, the question is: what are we trying to find here? I mean, this demon is surveilling this structure, all in all why shall we risk our lives to kill it? Is it really the right choice? could not we just try to take the valuable mithril weapons and get the hell out of here?

Or, put in another way, why should we keep roaming here? what's the big deal for the heroes of chalice? I went back as far as pages 112/113/114 and actually I cannot find a good reason why we entered these mines in the first place, apart from our great curiosity...am I forgetting something important?

wouldn't it be better to employ the heroes of chalice in more meaningful quests? like:

- advising the hill folk they should be ok with the barbarian and no crown problem anymore (actually)

- finding the important healer

- anything else, even from before I joined the campaign ?!

I am asking also because the place is huge and for a play by post it could be a little confusing to put all those little pieces together, you know...))
