D&D Beginner's Game: Act 1, Scene 3: The Hunted

Guffy

Echtrae thought he heard faint footsteps behind him, turning around he calls back to the corridor

"Hello? Is there someone there?"

Kolido

Stu welcomes the new elf to the party, "stick with use, staying together is our only hope, tell me..are you afraid of the dark?"

"There! the passage way down south... they must have gone there... there is nowhere else!"...

Webby makes his way down the passage.

The passage winds east again. It is growing visibly darker for the Halfling without the light of the torch.

The Dungeon Master

OOC: 4 mins left. Those in the south passage will have to run to save Stufur now

Lalwende spots a little nook and decides she'll rest there until there are further developments.

Leaning back against the alcove, Lalwende notices something pressing into her back.

Kolido

Stu hears cries, sounds familiar, like another Stu, thinking someone is in trouble and being brave, he follows the sound, telling the other to come quickly.

ooc: what do I do to save Stu?

OOC: Healing magic, potions, or you can attempt first aid by rolling a d20 vs your Wisdom stat. You need the target or less to succeed.

Stu turns south, then east, the south again, and can make out a torch on the ground which blood is pooling around. He can also hear a horrible pendulum type whoosh around the next corner.

OOC: 2 minutes left for Stufur with regards to Stu Pendous, still 4 minutes for those who haven't moved.

Kolido

Stu attempts first aid on Stufur

As Fector and the others head down the other corridor they can hear a muffled cry from the distance and the sound of of running.

Fector looks to the others

"Continue on or go back and check what's happening? We've already lost two souls today!"

Kolido

ooc: anyone got a link to the dice room, I will try to figure out how to roll.

[OOC: have we reached the main party yet?]

The Dungeon Master

Stu Pendous rips a large chunk of cloth from his own rags and uses them to stem the bleeding on Stufur. He manages to secure the bandage around the little elf's mid-riff, and the danger passes for now.

Stufur is still in a lot of pain however, and his intuition tells him only magic will seal the wound for him without risk of re opening. He will need rest before he can walk without collapsing in agony.

Both are mere feet away from the pendulum like scythe that swooshes back and forth across the corridor, coated in Stufur's elven blood.

OOC: Stufur lives, for now. But any excessive actions like combat could cause the bandage to rip.

OOC: You are with the main party. Webby is a little further in front, and Stu Pendous and Stufur are together even further ahead.

Guffy

"Ok let's try and find the main group", echtrae moves as quickly he can along the path he believes the other group took.

Nebelwerfer

Webby continues to move forward, listening attentively and looking out for signs of his party.

Webby nervously looks around to find his bearings.

OOC: Until I find my party members?

Echtrae catches up with Stu Pendous and Stufur fairly quickly. He can see the sinister scythe swooshing back and forth just behind them.

Webby reaches Stufur, Stu Pendous and Ecthrae a few moments later. Stufur's torch lies amidst a large pool of blood, illuminating the area around the party.

Guffy

"For the love of.... what happened? Stufur, are you badly damaged? I have a healing potion if you think its warranted or can you grit it out?"

Echtrae looks beyond the scythe taking in his new surroundings

Nebelwerfer

Webby pulls out a blue potion from his bag...

"I have no idea what it is, maybe a magic user can identify it... It may be able to help... I hope... I think?" he says as he holds up the potion above his head, hopefully in reach of the others in his party.

Echtrae, through the light of his torch and the other on the floor, can see the passage again winds south past the swooshing scythe. He can also make out a button on the north wall of the corridor. He could try to reach it, but it would be dangerous.

OOC: Echtrae, your healing potion will restore Stufur's health but not heal his wound. Only a Cleric with Cure Light Wounds can do so.

OOC: A magic user can sip a potion to learn of it's contents. No effect from the potion, just to determine what it is.

Nebelwerfer

Webby opens up the bottle, hunches over Stufur and makes him take a sip.

"Any chance you are feeling better with that or are you about to turn ghoul?" He says to Stufur as he makes him sip the bottle.

The Dungeon Master

Stufur can feel the rush of the ocean, the viscous fluid tastes quite vile. A combination of fish and seawater.

Little gills sprout on his neck momentarily, before disappearing again due to it only being a sip

OOC: Potion of Waterbreathing

Nebelwerfer

"Hmmmm that simply wont do, though it was a good look on you while it lasted"... he says to Stufur as he looks at his injured team member, trying to maintain a smile.

Webby closes up the bottle again and puts it back into his bag.

"We should speak to the clerics, perhaps they can heal some of those wounds... We have to get you battle ready again, hiding at the back is reserved for only me after all..." he says to Stufur, as he pokes a bit of fun at him.

Meera wonders if she could hit the button with one of her arrows.

Lalwende finds a tiny lever at the base of one of the pillars in the alcove she is resting.

Lalwende pulls the lever gently and steps back.

Ooc sorry gone for 50 mins.
