OOC:
Shoot. Not sure what gift I shoulda brought. Let's hope talking can work, assuming the "something nasty" is what I think it is.


Skeeve says, "Let's see what the nasty thing living here is. Be ready to attack, but let's see if we can talk first."

Arc can't think straight now, only thing he understands clearly is that... If punches and magics run loose, he will also let his arrows fly.

"Sounds like a great idea. I'll follow your lead."

As you advance closer to the room Aizashi catches an animal scent, but one he is unfamiliar with. Moving up to the edge of the room Kaarik's light reveals it to be a large cylinder with a 5' wide tiered walkways connecting each of the 1' tunnel ledges. The middle of the room is below the level of the lowest platform but the 'soil' is mounded up so its top is just above the level of the lowest platform and covered with the same growth as the tunnels. However the mound shows areas where it has been disturbed and overturned. You catch fain low hissing sounds echoing in the room. Looking around you spot the pipe you need to reach is at the far side of the room. (using clock hour hand positions : You come in at 11 and the exit you need is at 6)

I am wrong on the creature. Probably not talking our way outta this.

How big is the room? In all three dimensions. Trying to figure out our options here.

Kaarik freezes and whispers to the others. "I don't think it's a cat, but the hissing tells me the creature spotted us"

the pipes coming into it are 10' diameter and there are 8 that come into the chamber. The cylindrical chamber is about 40' across and at least 30' tall though it looks to narrow at the upper reaches. At Kaarik's comment the sound shifts and you get the impression it the the creatures breath you hear. The glow of Kaarik's light does not reveal everything but there are not hiding places other than in the shadows above or in the overturned "dirt" mound at the bottom of the room.

Agreeing with Kaarik Aizashi adds, "and I don't think it likes us being here."

Arc uses both actions to shoot at the base of the tentacles. The first one to the one holding Skeeve and the second one holding Aizashi. Arc aims at the bases, not the tips as not to risk shooting his friends.

Below is the save test. I am also assuming I can attack even without succeeding the save test and will do so. Both attacks on the tentacle trying to grab me.

As he struggles, Skeeve calls out to the source of the tentacles, "Stop! We don't want to hurt you! We don't want to take anything that is yours! We just want to pass through and then we'll be gone! If you stop, I will heal you from our attacks!"

EDIT: I guess I should make a roll for the parley attempt. With the appearance of the tentacles, it may be that my initial guess is correct after all. If I am correct, then it should be able to understand what I am saying and react to it. If it is starving, then it doesn't matter. However, if it is just defending its turf, then we have a decent chance. So, I'm gonna roll the full three dice, then you can discard what doesn't apply to this situation. (Including potentially all of them.)

Save Test DC: 5 - Basic - (2d6)

Kaarik knocks an arrow on his bow and readies himself to shoot until he he hears Skeeve.
He freezes but keeps his bow pointing in the direction of the tentacles.
