Prologue - Death House

Amalthea moves to try and get herself between the creature and her compatriots. Once she is in range, she will bring her warhammer down upon the enemy. She moves her shield up again and casts Shield of Faith to protect herself and the nearest party member.

This is no beast nor creature he knew of, so Taniwha followed Amalthea‘s lead. From his height advantage on the table Taniwha leaps using the Dwarven Warrior as a distraction, landing next to the creature with a flash of steel and a fluid hammer kick strike . . .

Round One (Cont'd)

Amalthea surges forward, slamming her hammer down on the creature, crushing its mouth-tentacles and stunning it just long enough for Taniwha to find an opening. He deftly leaps off the table and guts the monster and kicks it in one motion, exploding its head and spraying slimy green gore across the room.

With the thing on the floor, you can clearly see it is a slimy green worm about the size of a dog. Its four barbed mouth-tentacles lie crushed around its chitinous pincers.Now that the party is alone, they hear chanting clearly coming from both of the halls before you. No other living things stir in this room, and nothing moves except for the shadows dancing along the walls and support timbers.

"Ew..."

Amalthea shakes the goo off her warhammer and looks about the group.

"Hope that didn't bother those chanters too much, lead on."

She brings up her shield once again and prepares to take the rear guard.

Narissa crinkles her nose at the… leftovers of the thing. ‘Yuck.’ She thinks. "At least it’s dead now."
