Beetle Battle Round 3

Noh, Wilbur, and Dame Simonetta work together to bring down the sixth and final beetle. The beetle battle is over!

The beetles were neat freaks, and thier lair is spotlessly clean. The only item of note is the beetle sleeping mats. These are fine-quality furs from various unidentified dungeon creatures. The hides are neatly trimmed into circles the exact size of a sleeping beetle. You estimate the skins are worth 100gp each (600gp total) but they are bulky to carry. You'd have to roll them up and carry them like rugs, using teamwork.

Kiplyn and Dame Simonetta would benefit from a rest turn (and second breakfast).
OMG you are too much!

I think the party has the numbers, so let's roll it out:

Kiplyn natural 1, d'oh!
Robur 7
Noh 19, hit for 2hp
Wilbur 13, hit for 2hp
Dame Simonetta 16, hit for 5hp

cumulative 9hp is more than enough to kill beetle 6.

Heh heh, the Dame did more than both of us! Agree with the rest turn!

Dame Simonetta eyes the sleeping mats critically before giving a nod of acceptance and sitting down on one of them. She opens her pack and takes out a cucumber sandwich, which she proceeds to slowly eat.

¡¡¡Rest Turn Wandering Monster!!!

(oh no!)

As Dame Simonetta takes the first bite of her cucumber sandwich, a solitary creature approaches from the unexplored western tunnel!

It is a scaly, gilled, fish-man creature standing about seven feet tall. It is dressed like Sean Connery in Zardoz (loincloth, suspenders, handlebar moustache). It is holding a net in one hand and a crossbow in the other. The hand-crossbow looks to be the exact same craftsmanship as the javelin-firing large crossbow you found in area #6.

The fish dude blinks at you with its moist, googly eyes! What do you do??

Dame Simonetta drops her sandwich (!!) and leaps to her feet.
OOC: So far the huge fish-man has made no hostile moves, but it might be just be as surprised as we are.

Kiplyn groans and jumps to his feet and backs up.... "Just when a snack and rest would have been most welcome."

Robur with stunned amazement slowly holds out his cheese and sausage sandwich and points at it to see if the fish man wants any...

Wilbur holds himself in readiness but definitely moves to be between Dame S. and our new friend.

Dougal likewise holds his hand on the hilt of his new sword, but does not draw it from its scabbard.
