With a quick explanation, Padrig conveys the approximate layout of this level (or so much as he has explored), which amounts to something like what follows. The torture chamber is on the left of picture, and the Ogre lair is on the right of picture.mushgnome wrote:"I have not had the pleasure of visiting this room next door of which you speak; lead the way..." says Highbough.
By the steady yellow light of his faithful lantern Ulric does examine the copper flask. It is surprising weighty for its compact size -- mayhap half the size of a wineskin or flagon of lamp fuel -- and clearly made by an experienced craft. It would, perhaps, be beautiful if it were not dinged and spoiled by ages of corrosion. The etchings are only clearly visible after Ulric works free some of the accumulated grime with his fingers.danhem wrote:Ulric inspects the flask carefully and studies the strange writing.
Padrig possess two more scrolls penned with The Supplication of Medicant Requite. Additionally, his magnificent tome -- the Elysian Mecum -- contains a further copy of the same.coffee wrote:"But tell me, does anybody have any healing magic? I could use some, and I'd guess some of you others could as well."
Olaf sees the elves struggling and says, "Ah, hell! Let me help with that! One of you hold a torch and keep a lookout while I help the other drag the foul creatures."waysoftheearth wrote:Padrig and Highbough set about dragging off the first of the two Ogre corpses -- electing to begin with the one nearer to the passageway. The thing is enormously heavy and awkward, and wretchedly foul. It freely spills bile, blood and a most noxious stench from its fatal wounds, smearing the passage with such gore as the two Elves strain to drag it along the passage.
This is going to take them a full turn for to drag each corpse into the torture chamber. It will help somewhat if they clear out the bodies of the dead wolves out of the passage way, and it certainly wouldn't hurt if someone else would hold a torch aloft to light the way...
Andaros will borrow a torch from Padrig, light it, and light the way so the others can carry the bodies more comfortably. He has the torch in his right hand, and his shield on his left arm. He will keep an eye on the torture chamber, in case the Ogre (or more of his puppies) return.eris wrote:Olaf sees the elves struggling and says, "Ah, hell! Let me help with that!
