Finally breaking free of the psychic bondage, Naozar unleashes a barrage of magical bolts at the creature that has Tordek in its clutches.

OOC:
Recovering from Stunned normally takes effect at the end of your turn, but this is a pretty dramatic moment so why not?
Soprano falls back under the severe pounding from Haesh's warhammer, dragging Tordek with it. The creature spasms as Naozar's arcane missiles slam into it, one after the other, and its tentacles fall slack as Tordek is released.

With a twitching cry, Soprano claws at the air. It staggers forward, but its legs lack the energy and it collapses onto the stone slab where it lies, lifeless.

Haesh raises his warhammer in victory. He runs over and picks up his shield and then claps Naozar in the back. "Nice of you to finally join the fight! Hey Parallel you see anything worthwhile on the dead?"

Rhod hastens to Tordek's side. When he can't get a response from the dwarf he breaks out the healer's kit from his pack.

Rhodrick is able to stabilize Tordek. The dwarf is still unconscious, but breathing steadily.

Naozar leans heavily against the stone slab. "It was an altogether unnecessary fight. One that earned us powerful enemies instead of allies, and almost got Tordek killed!" he hisses. He seems about to say more but falls silent, shaking his head.

Parallel ensures that Soprano is truly dead, finding the softest parts of the body to sink his blades into.
Oct 23, 2017 7:37 pm
"They were never going to align with us. We’re just food. And the locals may not have gone along with it, once they found the bodies of their families hanging dead in a cave."

To the group in general, "I’d say, mission accomplished!"

He’ll then busy himself going through pocketssess, starting with Soprano’s robes.

Naozar shakes his head again but doesn't argue. It's true, hostages have been rescued and Tordek will heal. Whenever the illithids decide to exact their revenge, well, they'll just have to be dealt with.

Soprano has naught but tattered and stained robes upon its body. Parallel notes upon closer inspection that Soprano's skin appears decayed, like a desiccated raisin.

The body of Bass is also dressed only in a ragged robe, and it has nothing else. Compared to Soprano, Bass appears to have been much healthier in life, with elastic flesh covered in a thin, moisture-sealing slime.

Looking behind the throne, Parallel finds a medium-sized chest. Inside are a number of coins (250 silver, 422 copper), several potions, and a hat.

Parallel does the ol’ drop taste to identify the potions, and examines the hat very closely, slowly turning it all around.

Unable to make anything of the hat, he drags the chest out in the open, "Check it out, boys! Treasure chest!"

He takes the hat to the magic guys, "Look at this. Do you think it’s special?"

Naozar peers into the chest, disappointed it's all gold and no gems.

He takes the hat from Parallel to examine it..."Nothing special that I can see. It suits you, though."

Parallel tries the hat on, looking for just the right angle to wear it at.
OOC:
what does it look like?
Soon he realizes he looks stupid, and helps check out the captives.

Haesh can see that the three humans are unconscious, but alive. Only the older woman is freed from the stone slab, having been released by Tordek and placed on the ground. However, Haesh is unable to determine whether they are alone in these chambers.

After his taste test, Parallel discovers that he has found 2 Potions of Healing and 1 Potion of Hill Giant Strength.

The cap looks finely-made, with a silver and blue sheen on the sides of the dark cloth that look like parting waves. The skull cap portion looks a bit snug just on visual inspection, but the ear flaps that hang down feature silken ties that can secure the hat upon one's head.

When Parallel tries on the hat, the skull cap expands enough to fit squarely around his head.

"Rhod, let’s get the torches and make sure the room is clear."
Oct 25, 2017 4:29 pm
The immediate area is clear, and the chambers beyond this cavern are also devoid of life.

You do know that there were two other tunnels that led away, one just west of your position, and one where you were first accosted by the tentacled creatures.

"I think we need to clear this cave of these nasty creatures, but we may not get too far without Tordek," he moves to give the Cleric one of the healing potions. "I hope you gentlemen don’t mind."
