D&D Act One Scene III - Red Moon over Thurmunton

Fourier

Day 1:

The adventurers leave the city of Soetrard behind them as they venture forth into the farmlands beyond the city gates. Here small local farmers work from dawn to dusk in the fields to feed Soetrard with all the grains, wheat and oats it needs to function on a daily basis.

The trip is mostly uneventful. Farmers waving at the party, small children pointing and laughing at the halflings and the odd farmer's daughter taken in by the handsome elf.

That night, with the full moon hanging high in the sky, approaching the fork where the roads to Thurmunton and Cantry separate, the horses stomp and look agitated.

Saeros and BandyLegs make out eleven figures in the shape of men shambling in the nearby trees, approaching the group slowly. The humans and halflings clearly can't see them yet. The heat from their bodies is low. Saeros makes the conclusion immediately, undead....zombies!!

Ekbard throws a dead orc corpse into each empty alcove.

sKeith

Ekbard sighs and relaxes just a little.

Fourier

The central statue finally disintegrates, it is pure stone and leaves nothing of worth behind, its regeneration could not keep pace with Ekbard's mighty blows.

sKeith

OOC: is this statue still attempting to reasemble itself?

sKeith

While othegre searches, Ekbard takes over central statue bashing duty.

Fourier

The Orcs have little to their name. However the eyes of the statues are gems worth in total 600GP.

Banjo

Othegre stats examining the rubble and dead orcs for salvage because she just never learns...

sKeith

"Crap, not the switch I was looking for."

Fourier

A door between two of the alcoves swings open. Behind the door is the start of a spiral stone staircase. There is no breeze from the stairs, but a slight stale smell.

sKeith

Ekbard wedges the slab across with his sword.

He notices a removable stone slab.

"Othegre SMASH!"
She keeps flailing at the rubble for a while, then grins and turns to Ekbard.

"You look different.... Been eating porridge?"

Ekbard examines the floor where the statue landed that caused a click noise, keeping an eye on the central statue to make sure the flailing is keeping it down.

Ekbard is covered in a red glow as Jammai extends her protection to him.

Fourier

Ekbard easily keeps pace with the reassembly, smashing each piece as it is reconstituted. The central statue cannot keep up thanks to the necklaces.

Eventually Othegre causes the central statue to collapse and the others turn permanently to dust.

sKeith

Ekbard throws a few smacks in with the torch for good measure.

sKeith

Ekbard smashes the reassembling rubble as it trys to reassemble itself.

Banjo

Othegre completes the incantation and begins to flail the central statue like an epileptic magikarp

(Protection from evil on Ekbard)

Fourier

Ekbard jumps from statue to statue, reducing them to rubble. The central statue emits a low drone and the rubble begins to reassemble.

sKeith

Ekbard smashes the statues while they are frozen.

Banjo

Othegre falls back to stand beside - and slightly behind - Ekbard. She begins receiving a ward against evils but pauses to see if the Mr T routine has an effect

Fourier

The statues freeze in place. The central statues eyes begin to glow a brighter red and steam begins to rise from it. Very slowly, it is pushing life back into the others, which begin to twitch.

sKeith

Ekbard grabs all the necklaces and raises them above his head and shouts " Sleep you fiendish moving statues!", while putting as much distance as possible between himself and the statues.

Fourier

Betty rushes to the doors, but is just a bit too late.

"Warrior, Priestess....we will help you"

She looks around the first room frantically.

Fourier

As Ekbard looks around the room and Othegre regards the statue. The statue in the centre of the room's eyes glow a bright deathly red. The statue in the alcove next to Othegre suddenly flings its fist toward her face, but she dodges with a quick tilt of the head before jumping back.

Another statue steps out of the alcove and goes to strike Ekbard from behind, however he ducks on warrior instinct.

As the other two statues land on the rooms floor, a click is heard and a stone slab seals this room from the other.

Fourier

OOC: Ekbard, saving throw against death. p.55 of rules. Need to roll greater than or equal to 12

Banjo

"Songsunder! Can't a girl have five d'joring minutes? Simon! Box! I know... Don't take that tone... You tell her; I've taken my licks for the day.. no way! You're the only eight foot pain in the hole here. Box, or I'll leave you here to mind the horses!"

She packs her gear and follows into the next room.
"Wow! Is there a Mrs lord of fire and death?" She curtseys slightly, then moves to look at the 4 statues, starting with the nearest on the left.

Ooc : is her charm still going bananas?

Tigger

lvl up please

sKeith

Ekbard checks for traps.

Fourier

The room is full of dead Orcs. Hard to tell how many, their skulls have been crushed and limbs ripped off. At least twelve.

The room is circular with four statues placed in alcoves in each corner of the room and a high domed ceiling.

A larger stone statue stands in the middle of the room, that of Tumuz, a normal looking man in noble clothing. Behind that, between two of the statues is a large vanity painting of the man in his dark lord days.
