OOC:

Yeah going to try summoning a Giant Snake (page 258 in the RoT book) to keep things in there in check

Hildar feels the spell take hold and smiles before shouting into the crypt "Kill everything in there please" as a rather loud hissing noise emanates from inside.

OOC:

Did I need to use a second maneuvre to get into position?

OOC:

Ah, sorry -- yes, you were at medium to the crypt, so you'd need two maneuvers to engage with it. You summoned 2 snakes, right? And you can again choose 1 Wound or 2 Strain for your threat.

Bruv could make a Lore check to see if he's ever heard of such a thing as we're observing? And what to do about it? Diff?

OOC:

Yep: Identifying the creatures is a Hard (PPP) Knowledge (Forbidden) check. Two boosts since you've seen them in action, setback for confusing conditions.

Hildar hears a satisfying thud as his pair of giant snakes hits the slab floor inside the crypt. A loud hiss follows, then the sound of creatures scuffling inside. It's impossible to know what's going on exactly, but Hildar is certain he's at least kept the enemy creatures inside occupied for now.

Meanwhile, Tronus hoists the motionless body of the robed figure over his shoulder and rejoins the others.

The snakes have a swallow-whole attack; sounds like something that might happen if they roll enough threat. ;)

OOC:

How do you mean? There are no immediate threats for you to attack -- the crypt is full of monsters, but it's locked up, and you've taken out all the ones in the open. The robed figure is unconscious. But did you mean something else?

Well when you put it like that I sound just ridiculous. It's for in case the cryptids (heehee) do manage to bust outside, other then that I'm not sure what I can personally do (my brain is not capable of complex thought currently).

OOC:

No, no, I didn't mean to dismiss the idea! :) The immediate goal right now should be figuring out how to shut down whatever it is that is pumping out these monsters. How would Nera pursue that goal?

OOC:

I worded it alot sassier then I actually am. As for how, assuming our new friend can call them off Nera might try lying (saying his niece is here with them, wouldn't wanna hurt her right? Hopefully.) Or by at least using perception to identify a more permanent solution. Probably a little far to try pouring the holy water.

OOC:

Bruv doesn't have the requisite Knowledge Skill, so I was hoping someone might have something better to do, but I'll try it unskilled if I can I guess to keep things moving.

I'll recover Strain with 2 of the Advantage and pass a Boost with the other.

Re: [IC] Graveyard Shift: Session 2

OOC:

Why don't we exit structured time? We'll assume the snakes clear out the crypt. Everyone can make a Discipline or Cool check for strain recovery.

The sounds within the crypt subside, suggesting that Hildar's serpents have done their jobs. Nevertheless, you have the worrying suspicion that whatever was pumping out these monstrous creatures has not stopped. It may just be a matter of time before more appear.

In the meantime, several questions remain: What are these creatures? Where are they coming from? How can you prevent further ones from showing up? Why is there a tunnel network under the graveyard? How extensive is it? Who is the figure you attacked and overpowered? Why was he running off toward the Dribbage house?

Re: [IC] Graveyard Shift: Session 2

Hildar slumps to the side and wipes another trail of blood from the side of his nose, the strain of his casting taking quite the toll on him but he takes care to maintain concentration on his spell so the snakes keep a guard in the crypt.

OOC:

Will take the wound - Rolling Cool....can you spend the Advantage on the check to get a point of Strain back? If so that's 4 back which is what I took on the last check, if not I'm on 1 more adjusted current strain as per response below

OOC:

Unfortunately, the Advantage on these simple checks are ignored, so no help there. You are able to drop concentration on the snakes, though; we'll just assume they ate killed all the stuff in there.

Re: [IC] Graveyard Shift: Session 2

Nekurr, noticing the crypt going quick after Hildar's magics do their thing, runs to catch up with Tronus. He quickly tries to search the figure for any clues on what its plans were while checking its vitals. "He was going somewhere" the half-catfolk looks at the Dribbage house, slightly worried for Lady Dribbage.

OOC:

So that's 3 strain less and a medicine. Not sure how many Ps to use but it was definitely a fail

OOC:

Right! That always slips my mind, thanks for clarifying.

Given that Hildar is on 9/13 Strain I think hell keep the spell running if he can as casting anything else is going to be pretty risky

Tronus slaps off the prodding of the younger man and makes way back to the others. "So what did you all find out? I'm unsure if this sod is the uncle." Tronus states nodding at the thing on his shoulder and sighs looking at the rest.

"May my heart and eyes see profits and fortune under the Lady's Guidance." he mutters to himself casting a prayer on himself.

OOC:

Yep under 1/2 max wounds is P over 1/2 max wounds is PP.

OOC:

Using the advantage to offset cost. Tronus doesn't feel anything and thinks the thing on his shoulder is messing with his mojo now.

"This one tried to throw a tooth or a bloodied stone at me so if he starts moving knock em senseless. He's already corrupting meh connection to the Lady for me." Tronus grumbles feeling the sudden throbbing in his wounds and foot from injuries.

Re: [IC] Graveyard Shift: Session 2

OOC:

Medicine checks are penalized if you don't have some sort of first-aid equipment (in this case, an apothecary's kit). Figure takes another Wound for the threat

The only sounds at the moment are the slithering and hissing of Hildar's snakes from inside the crypt. With the robed figure back near the large headstone again, Nekurr isn't able to do much first aid. However, when the figure moans in pain, the Half-Catfolk realizes he is at least still alive, although perhaps now a little worse off...

Then the priest of Fortuna has little trouble searching through the loose-fitting robes. The figure isn't carrying much, just a wavy-bladed dagger, a pouch of dried fruits and meats, and a palm-sized stone encrusted with a rune.

OOC:

Those of you with magical leanings can recognize this as a magical runestone. What kind will require a Hard (PPP) Knowledge (Forbidden) check, with two boosts since you've got some context on it.
