D&D Act Three Scene IV - The pyramid

Fourier

Ipiz leads the group up a slope. He releases the spell and yet there is no sand.

"It's calm in the eye of the storm my friends" he runs ahead to the top of the mesa and gestures.

"Behold my friends, we are here, the pyramid of Zha'satep."

sKeith

Ekbard makes a suggestion to the group, "How about we smoke them out. We build a big fire in the entrance, and load it with smoky materials and insure all the smoke goes into the pyramid.
Then we just wait until the cult either is forced to come out to breathe fresh air, or at the least, come out to investigate where the smoke is coming from."

Necro

Bandylegs looks at Ekbard.

'Where be ye sense of adventure? There be dangers ahead regardless laddie. Yer brief old age has changed ye.'

He scans the area ahead and to the sides of him.

The expanse of desert containing the pyramid seems devoid of any activity save for a roaming tribe of Ogres in the distance and two blue dragons sleeping about a mile North of the pyramid.

At the pyramid entrance are four snakes about 100 feet in length.

Goodie's detailed knowledge of the ship gives him access to the armoury on the hidden lower deck. Still there is a very high quality suit of armour. Golden in colour, but light. Flexible but with some sort of blue energy over it to absorb damage.

Banjo

"There's a tube in the sky.

Sirs?

Sirs!

HEY YOU TWO! There's a ****ing tube in the sky!"

Kuma shakes her head. She's going to be dead soon.

Bandylegs gestures in the direction of the dragons.

'I'm goin' to talk to these laddies, see if they can give us a low down on the area.'

He takes off towards the dragons.

OOC: That was just in Eberron. You're back to being tall and fast now.

The ship reports their basic physiology and conjectures they are in good health. Its databanks have little info on the species.

OOC: Armour is -2 AC.

She looks up. She looks after the Dwarf. She thumbs her sword an inch out of it's scabbard, looks at her reflection and mutters "I have no parents, I make the heaven and earth my parents. I have no home, I make Dantien my home. I have no divine power, I... Statue face has divine power. I have no common sense, I'm going to follow the statue faced dwarf to talk to two giant dragons."
She jogs to catch up, cursing the silent skies and the floating tubes they harbour.

"That is Goodie, the ling."
"I see you have accompanied us to the pyramid, If you are to stay in our company, you are going to need some good armour, see if this fits you", Ekbard hands the samurai the armour goodie sent down from the ship ( the elfen armour ).

"I have no armour sir, I make Benevolence my armour" she quotes. Ekbard does not look impressed or reverent. "The teachings? You're a mighty Nerosian warrior, I've seen you fight - you are testing me, yes?"

She nods eagerly, awaiting approval.

"What?" Ekbard turns away and walks towards the snakes.

Necro

Seeing the ship overtake him and head for the dragons, Bandylegs turns and catches up with Ekbard as he heads toward the snakes.

'If the samurai will not take the armour, perhaps Mud or Barikhek would benefit from it?'

Tigger

ook
you said that it would be some time till everyone was ressurected etc. so ive lept and communed with my ncstos etc i assume?

Banjo

She stares after him, dumbstruck.
This is not how this goes. She finds a master, she impresses the master, she learns from the master, she becomes the master, she... well there'll be time for that.

What kind of honourless dogs is she running with?

She tries the armour on. Despite her diminutive frame, it's a reasonable fit if incredibly garish. She leaves her scale on the ground, keeping her Hachikyusan overshirt and again, jogs to catch up. Always the jogging.

ook are you flooowing the dwarf or the fighter?

Banjo

OOC : The Dwarf originally, then I got handed armour by Ekbard. Right now, I'm just jogging. Fitbit approves. Think they're both headed for the snakes, so it's immaterial.

the dwarf said he was headed for thr blue dragons?

Necro

OOC: You beat the dwarf to it with dragons, so he's going to have some fried snake for lunch

Fourier

Dragons:
The dragons look up at the ship.

"Eh.....Greetings" one of them says with a quizzical look.

Goodie magically peers into their minds. Overall they seem good and content. A bit hungry, but more for scorpions than people.

Fourier

Snakes:

The snakes unfurl as the group approaches.

"Looking to enter the pyramid. Braver than most."

They are in a defensive stance, raising their large rattling tails, but not going for the attack. Their leather is known to be worth a lot of money.

Necro

Bandylegs steps forward.

'I have no quarrel with ye lads. Slither aside and let us enter and the Nerosian will not skin yer fer fun.'

"No, I came to talk to you. Do you know where I can find a well or a river around here?"

Fourier

The snakes seem surprised.

"Well of course there is an aqueduct that supplies the pyramid. We can carry you there, it is a bit up the Southern face where the water enters that it will be of the best quality."

They move aside for BandyLegs.

Ekbard answers all excited. "Oh yes, I've always wanted to ride on a snake",
Ekbard leaps on the snake and says "Giddy up, to the aqueducts"

Fourier

The snakes ride up the side of the pyramid.

"Bit presumptuous riding us isn't it?" asks one snake.

Another snake turns growling.

"Be pleased for once will you, better than being skinned alive Bill."

They arrive at the aqueduct. Clear fresh water and a side entrance to the pyramid.

Necro

Bandylegs turns to the snakes again.

'So. About the dragons. Are ye friends? Just wonderin' if I should tell ye what they were sayin' about Bill there...'

Fourier

Dragons:

"Don't try buddy. It's been here like several thousand years, since my grandfather's day. We've seen hundreds of you lot come and go. The big fella within always kills you off. Even the tough ones that make it to him. Go back North and live out your days in peace."

'Aye. They were sayin' that alright. That ye snakes were the worst kind o'reptile. Slitherin' on yer bellies and eatin' rats. Very embarrasin' fer 'em.

And what they be sayin' about Bill there... that he doesn't even eat rats but has... carnal relations with 'em.. I dinnae. Said I'd tell ye what they said anyways.'

"Thank you very much." Ekbard drinks straight from the aqueduct. "Yes, as promised, best quality I've had in some time."

Banjo

Wait, which one of them is Bill? The nerosian? Although, after a few drinks the soldiers she'd known were a little free with their hands , I suppose rat ****ing isn't so unbelievable but such a dishonourable act.....

Bandylegs smiles at his new companion.

'The biggest snake is Bill. We can commune with 'em directly as a result of somethin' that happened afore you met us. Yer see....'

Bandylegs begins to run through the entire tale from Soetrard up to meeting the samurai.
