As soon as Honey touches the treasure, a sudden blast of wind from the pit almost knocks you to the floor. The entire chamber glows with sickly green light coming from the pit as a gargantuan black rubbery mass of tendrils, fins, and eyestalks thrusts up from the stygian depths. The hair on the back of your neck stands up as the writhing stalks twist into the air. Enormous eyes glare malevolently with orange irises, like pools of fire.
Thousands upon thousands of glittering pairs of dots appear on the walls around you. They are eyes! A maddening sound, like screeching monkeys and breaking glass, thunders in your skull. Is this some sort of language? The eyes on the walls start to drift along the wall toward you. The walls shudder as a stalactite falls from the ceiling and crashes into the floor.
OOC:
Aislynn, Honey, Hyde, and Kip may all act! There is one massive guardian beast rising from the pit and five separate walls of eyes that count as enemies. You can fight, flee, or try to gather up treasure! Grabbing treasure requires the use of an action die.
The closest treasure is located on the altar 100’ from the exit. The altar holds 1 lockbox and enough coins to fill one small bag. The next closest treasure is located at the foot of the stairs 120’ from safety. There are 2 lockboxes, 4 coffers, 1 treasure chest, and enough coins to fill any size container. The best loot is located closer to the pit, 145’ from the exit. There are 10 coffers, 4 treasure chests, and piles of coin to fill any size container.
Close to the pit, two magic items are in plain view: a blue magic wand and a gleaming longsword with a blood red hilt and black tassels.
Encumbrance: The maximum amount of treasure a character can carry without slowing down is 1 small bag. At half speed, a character can move 2 lockboxes or small bags, 1 coffer or large bag, or half a chest. Moving a chest requires two characters. A character with a wheelbarrow can move at normal speed while pushing twice their maximum weight. Moving a large chest with a wheelbarrow would still halve the mover’s speed, but the chest can be moved by a single person.
Good luck!!!
