"Look, I'm going to let you go. Just help us understand the place. Why can't we cast anything?"

Alvin continues to struggle with the imp and looks aghast as he sees the crazy fighting in the forge.

Yvandra cries out in horror as she sees what happened to Keeper. As they are pushed back by the statue bursting through the door, she shouts to the others: "With statues and flying implements, we better get out of this room too!"

She grabs whoever she can and retreats back to the workshop.

Holg helps hustle everyone back to ye ole workshop!
May 16, 2025 1:53 pm
His silver dagger gleaming, our half-elven fellow also hustles back to the workshop!

Korrin will do everything he can to dodge away from the oncoming statue and fall back with everyone else.

Sylana retreated the moment the door exploded.

"Bah! That stuff is disgusting! Like eating a rusty sword!" He corks the jar and gives it back to Osstaer.

"Sorry, I had no idea what it would do. I thought maybe it would make you strong to have some natural armor like a beatle. As for the marble I was hoping maybe there was an air elemental trapped inside, like those gems you can smash to summon one. Anyways, I have no idea how to handle something of this calliber, even if we weren't limited right now. Perhaps we could trick it into going where those giant spiders are and get the 2 to fight each other? For now, let's try to draw its attention and go back to were that pool of water we landed was and see if it will follow or if it won't leave that area."

Davril and Osstaer proceed to yell insults and taunts at the animated statue in hopes it will go after them. While doing so, they back up to the area everyone fell to in order to see what happens. Without weapons and magic, and even with them, a brawl is out of the question anyways.

For Asa:

As you back away, the suit of armour follows relentlessly, cornering you in the narrow confines of the room. As you crouch down to snatch up a spear, the armour lumbers forward with a creak of metal, and brings its axe down on the back of your head as you start to rise. You fall to the ground, dead. The suit of armour pauses over your body, and retrieves its separated hand, taking a moment to lock it back into place before continuing its advance towards the rest of the party.

For Alvin:

The imp replies "I don't know why you can't cast spells, I'm just a summoned familiar. The wizard could cast spells just fine, maybe it's a problem on your end? Anyway, there's enough magic potions and items lying around in the study anyway, so you should be able to figure it out.

For everyone:

The statue and the suit of armour follow you steadily as you retreat from the room. You are all now in the previous room, the wizard's study. It seems like they will continue to pursue. If you want to remain out of their reach, you will have to give ground and retreat further.

So, what's it going to be from here players?
May 18, 2025 1:39 pm
Davril and Osstaer see the monsters aren't following them. In desperation, they both go back to the potions and each choose a potion at complete random and each drink one, knowing it is this or death anyways.
May 18, 2025 6:44 pm
"OK, thanks. Watch out, our captors are up there with all sorts of weapons."

Alvin lets the imp go and makes sure to dive out of the way to avoid the imp's tail. He will use the lit spirit lamp if it is still nearby or his tinderbox to light the small, stubby candle, made of purplish-black wax, before diving for cover.

Yvandra pulls books off the shelf and letting them fall to the floor at random, hoping for a new room to open up for them.
May 18, 2025 8:10 pm
Holg begins barricading the room to keep the baddies out!
May 18, 2025 8:10 pm
Hiro begins extolling Holg’s half-human strength, bardically-inspiring our half-orc fellow!

Jaws works while listening in on the commotion.
OOC:
Since this is my only character left and I don't plan on making more, what's the situation in the room he's in?

For Davril:

You open the jar full of purple-blue spores. As soon as you inhale the first of the spores, you immediately begin shrinking. Everything around you seems to tower over you now, you are about 6 inches tall.

For Osstaer:

You open the jar full of dark liquid, and immediately the room is filled with thick grey smoke, that comes billowing out of the jar. Everyone's vision is completely obscured, as the torrent of grey smoke continues to emanate from the jar.

For Alvin:

The imp flies away when you release them, disappearing up the shaft you fell into to enter the dungeon. As it leaves, it says "you should run away while you still can", and points to the iron portcullis. You light the small purple candle. The flame is violet in colour, but nothing else seems to happen.

For Yvandra:

You pull a few books off the shelf, but nothing seems to happen.

For Holg:

You try to barricade the door, but it is quickly splintered open by the stone statue's incredible strength. As the statue strides through the shattered aperture, it "locks on" to Holg, turning in his direction and moving towards him with murderous intent. The statue swings a stony fist through the air, there's a sickening crunch, and down goes Holg with a shattered skull. The statue turns to Hiro, the next target. The animated armour follows close behind.

For Jaws:

You continue to work on your bone daggers, while listening in on the commotion. It's only been about 20 minutes since you started working on them, so they're not done yet.

Alright everyone, what do you want to do?

"Well, this might not all that useful. I hear some objects that move by magic can sense things it can't see, so this smoke may make things worse than better. I have one idea!"b] Osstaer picks up the now 6 inch tall Davril and attempts to sneak up on the stone statue and put Davril high up on its back. Davril then tries to climb on it and see if there is any opening he can crawl inside, perhaps to a core or something that he can yank out to deactivate it.

If Davril is able to get on the statue, Osstaer yells, [b]"My friend will try to distract it! Try to get away to where we came in! I will stay here to help my friend if he needs it!"

Hiro hustles away from the monster, and encourages the diminutive Davril with wonderful bard words.
I have wonderful bardic words for you, Hiro says to Davril. Then exudes a wonderful exposition. Of course, he’s likely out of breath, from hustling, but it is as it is!
OOC:
Move from danger, bardic inspiration on Davril.

Continues working on the dagger, contemplating carving a spearhead from the second bone instead of a dagger.
OOC:

1. One dagger is made
2. the commotion moves to the room he is currently in.
