Milor's Labyrinth

(Just so everyone knows, it has taken us 9 days to cross this bridge.)

Let's not jump the gun, Finley and Ly'lana have yet to cross.

"Yeah, I''m coming, just keep the feisty one away from the rope. She might light it on fire."

rolled 11 + 0 to climb the rope whenever.

I mumble and grumble, staring back at the pool of water and then walk across the bridge, making it apparent i am giving no fucks to be in a hurry. (Finesse= 16+4=20)

Finley scales the rope!

Ly'lana crosses the bridge!

The barrier of floating text vanishes, and the party moves into the tunnel.  After several steps low, rhythmic sounds of gurgling emanate from deeper down the tunnel.

GM fate roll (for Finley): 11/?? + Finely's Luck (0) - environment (??)
Finley recognizes the sounds as the speech of troglodytes, a creature he had formerly spotted in the labyrinth.

New Race: Troglodyte
 
Coloring varies (earth tones).  Stand equal height with dwarfs.  Hunchback, no eyes.  Thin arms and legs that are more spindle than muscle.

Strax's lantern winks out, but a weak light shines from around a bend of the tunnel.  The gurgling is clearly audible here.

The moment the lights went out, I squeaked with fear and inched closer to the nearest of my companions. "What is that?" I whisper.

"Those are troglodytes, lass. Big pains in the arse, don't take to kindly to, well, anything really."

Sarnor grins and spins his stick into battle position. "Finally!" He exclaims. "Quick, someone light a torch so I see what I'm smacking!"

With a sigh, I light my torch.

As the torch Ignites I slip gently into the dark and flickering shadows it has beset upon the tunnel. I let my footsteps run silent as i fall in line behind Renate and watch carefully at the upcoming events. (Stealth=13+4=17) My bow is readied, already knocked with an arrow.

Ly'lana is concealed!
Light fills the tunnel.
The gurgling does not cease its rhythmic pace.

I hand the torch over to (or rather, force into the hands of) Sarnor. I'm not going to be the one to lead the way.

Sarnor barely registers the torch in his hand and leads the way at a quick pace.

"Someone's exited."

I stay right on Cookie's tracks, sword and shield drawn

This chamber is a perfect dome, its walls criss-crossed with abrasive marks.  A weak smell similar to pine hangs in the air along with a thin shroud of smoke.  The ground is absent of the gray clay from below, leaving a pristine pearlstone floor.  Flat mushroom caps float in a pond at the back of the room, the water surrounded by tiny stacks of burning plant material.  An enormously sized troglodyte lies still in the pond, its back supported by the back wall.  Roughly the size of six men, its fat arms are folded below its chest and a large mushroom cap veils its face.  Around it are kneeling troglodytes who, at the group's entry, ceased their rhythmic chatter and broke into a series of rapid, higher pitched gurgles.  Between them at the forefront is a humanoid figure, sitting furled up in the water.  She begins to unfurl and stand, producing two short blades from below her.

Trog Prophet A appears!
Trog Prophet B appears!
Trog Warlock A appears!
Trog Warlock B appears!
Veten Ness appears!

Combat begins!
No surprise round.
Round 1!

New Creature: Troglodyte Prophet
This troglodyte is in draped in tattered rags spun from fungus.  It wears a headdress topped with protruding wilting plants.  In its hands are a pair of twigs.

New Creature: Troglodyte Warlock
This troglodyte's body is concealed behind pads of fungus.  Even its head is barely visible.

New Creature: Veten Ness
She has aqua skin, is more thin than any human should be, and is bereft of any clothing.  Her lower half is nearly paper thin, her sheet-like legs crumple and fold on themselves as she moves about.  The weapons in her hands are curved like waves, with holes the shapes of teardrops before each crash.  Save for the gleaming blade, the daggers are obsidian in color.
