Chapter 5: Blingdenstone

Dustin and Bildaweer each send their blasts into the chamber, sailing over the top of the pack of figures. Georges dashes down to stand next to Cemos, swinging at the Red statue. Unfortunately, he misses with each swing!

The Green and Blue statues turn to Heartboiler as she approaches and swings at her. Red, Orange, Purple all swing at Cemos, irritated by his slamming noises.

Heartboiler's attacker all manage to hit her! (22, 21, 18, 20 against AC for 3, 3, 3, and 8 damage before resistance (7 total after resistance).)

The three on Cemos all swing comically poorly, missing with each swing.

Combat! Bold below may act:
Players
Statue Blue
Statue Green
Statue Yellow
Statue Red
Statue Purple
Statue Orange
Inspiration: Heartboiler 0/2 | Bildaweer 1/2 | Cemos 2/2 | Dustin 0/2

As Bildaweer blasts the Green statue with magic missiles, Heartboiler grabs their heads. With the immense strength of the mountainborn, she slams their heads together sending them both to a knee, stunned momentarily. Moving quickly away, they can't even muster the awareness to swing out at her. As the melee combatants cross the entry point of the cave, the statues shudder and then cease moving altogether, freezing in place.


Combat Over.

You do know a little bit about Medusas, specifically that they can turn creatures to stone. Given that these are all Drow, you think that perhaps she was responsible for turning them to stone. However, you aren't really sure what would have animated them, other than maybe that weird force that was turning elementals crazy.

In the map below, the green arrow is where you came from (south). There are four passages off this map. 1 and 2 both head up, 3 heads down. The unmarked one goes between the Statue room and the Medusa room. Just let me know which way you'd like to explore.

Georges shakes his head. Nay Cemos, I'm whole. he says as he sheathes his blade.

If Heartboiler pours any of the liquid out into Cemos's vial, it strangely doesn't fill the receptacle. Instead, it plainly pours out, disappears, and the volume of the ornamentesque container doesn't deplete.
