D&D: Palace of the Silver Princess

[Spiderman]

You head west and then south, going 20' until you reach the end. A door is in the west wall.

 

[Oversoul]

*Checks door for traps.*

 

[Spiderman]

Cugel diligently examines the door.

 

[TomB]

Rondo also checks the door for traps.

 

[Spiderman]

After Cugel is done, Rondo takes a gander.

 

[TomB]

"Looks clean to me."

Si'Nat

"Whenever you're ready there Karnage..."

(draws the bow... and steadies it...)

 

[Prince RXI]

Second verse, same as the first ^_^

Karnage readies and opens the door.

 

[Spiderman]

This room holds four double bunkbeds. Seated on the beds are eight human-like creatures who look like a combination of animals and men. Despite their weird looks, the creatures are all wearing the uniforms of palace guards. The uniforms do not seem to fit properly though.

Neither group is surprised.

The monsters gain initiative - they look at you in a bit of confusion but do not seem hostile.

Si'Nat

Wow...

I'm going to give anyone else a chance to do what they want here... but will "Sleep" the critters if they make a wrong move...

 

[Spiderman]

*** It hasn't really been a big deal, but the order of combat is missile fire, spells, and the H2H... just to let you guys know.

 

[Oversoul]

Cugel will not attack them, but will instead stand ready to cover any of his companions that is attacked. If there appears to be no door through which the creatures can escape and inform others about us, he will attempt to communicate with them (unless they attack).

"So, any notion of what is going on in this place?"

 

[Spiderman]

This is a fairly big room. As nothing immediately happens, you see that the room is 30' E-W and 40' N-W, with another door in the north wall on the far west side.

 

[Oversoul]

"Perhaps they cannot understand us. But at least they are not attacking us as the others did. I suggest we return that favor."

 

[train]

Si'Nat

(I'll stay ready...)

 

[Spiderman]

Apparently annoyed that you're just standing there staring at them, they get up with a grunt and rush to attack.

Round 1 - You have initiative.

Si'Nat casts his Sleep spell and all of them fall headlong to the floor at Karnage's feet. You're not sure if Karnage is disappointed or relieved at not having to face them all (being the one in the doorway and all)

 

[train]

Si'Nat

"thought so..."

(begins slitting throats with the dagger...)

 

[Spiderman]

Soon there are eight bodies and a blood-drenched Si'Nat.

 

[train]

Si'Nat

"Nothing but death in this place... luckily we are the ones bringing it..."

(begins searching rooms for everything...)

 

[Spiderman]

Si'Nat gets busy.
