Episode 2 Scene 1 The Journey North

Haelga will simply watch as the others take care of these creatures.

She will look around the room for threats with her longsword and shield drawn and at the ready.

Haelga looks at the dark metal around on the floor, and crouches to get a closer looks. She then says out loud, "He, luk at no mettal Rrott."

Brindel, axe still in hand, moves to the bottom of the stairs. "Egret, do you see the blob up there?"

The druid looks around the empty room, slightly disappointed by the utter lack of anything curious, at least at the first glance. "No, there is nothing besides an empty room. Not unlike the one below," he calls out to his companions, while raising his hand with the flame higher, to banish the shadows in case there is anything else hiding from view. "There are more stairs, however, if we want to explore further. I think it's best if we continue together, if Lex is done with his experiments."

Despite his cautious words, the druid still walks further into the room. He doesn't ascend to the next floor, but he wanders around this one, peeking into the corners and checking out the column for any detailing - in case decorative engravings or even the shape of its foundation can tell him anything about the tower and its origin.

Led packs up his tindernox and vials as heads over towards Shump while pulling out a torch of his own so he can light it from Shumps torch as he finishes inspecting his clothing and gear for blob splatter.

As soon as you're ready let's head upstairs with everyone else and see what else we can find in this creepy place, any more blobs and I am going to burn them up!

Shump nods to Lex and says, "You go, Shump burn jelly parts" and gestures in the direction where the rest of the jelly bits and pieces still litter the floor.

Brindel sees Egret move forward toward the column on the second floor. "Egret, you inspire me," he says, and examines the column on the first floor.

Lex heads up the stairs and walks around the border of the room inspecting it very closely, keeping an eye on Egret out of the corner of his eye I wonder where the blob went there has to be some space here that we aren't able to see he is looking for traces of the blob that climbed up the walls on the first floor.

It can't have climbed that fast to make it up the wall on this level without you spotting it Egret, could it?

Egret raises his eyebrow at Brindel's comment, a playful smile appearing on his lips, accompanied by almost flirtatious glint in his eyes. "Why, you flatter me, Brindel!" He chuckles, watches as the dwarf heads to inspect the column, then turns to meet Lex.

"I think it just squeezed through whatever cracks are present in the walls, and is now hiding there," Egret follows after Lex as the latter inspects the room, providing the alchemist with illumination. "It is amorphous enough to pull that. But I guess I could miss it too, these creature are pretty quick for something with no actual limbs to speak of, and I was watching the room at large. It is quite empty, isn't it? I wonder if these blobs are the ones who ate its interior, or if it was designed that way."

I want to test a theory I have...are you interested?

Lex eyes the room and points to an area just opposite the stairs...then she asks Can you put some light in that area and observe the area? Not fire mind you you, but light?

Oh...and stand right here, not over there as he grins at Egret

Lex heads downstairs again looking for Brindel, and holding his torch up as high as he can to see if he can see the ceiling. If not is Shump tall enough to light up the area I pointed out to Egret down here on the first floor.

Brindel what is your opinion on there being space between this ceiling and the floor upstairs? I really do not like the fact that that blob has just disappeared and I have a theory...but need your expertise regarding the engineering possibilities of this structure.

Lex keeps looking up at the ceiling, tapping his finger on his chin

What do you think Brindel? Shump?

While Lex's torch does shine light upon the ceiling overhead it does not cover the entire ceiling and there are shadows depending on where he stands. Shump is busy applying his torch to the remains of the blob that are still on the floor and looks over at Lex when he mentions his name and replies "Shump think jelly bad."

You aren't the only one that thinks that Shump and he smiles at Shump When you are finished with that help see if there is anything up here in the ceiling....I really want to know where it went

Shump pauses burning things on the ground to hold his torch up and look at the ceiling then replies, "No see jelly." He then goes back to burning the remains which could take him a little while.
