Heartboiler looks at Dustin, a mix of jealousy and surprise on her face. What happened? Why didn't you just investigate and come back without fighting her? She grabs her sword in two hands, taking a half step forwards. No time to lose it seems, not to draw a map at least. You will just have to lead us to her.

She was in a state of trance or meditation. I thought to take advantage of it. I succeeded in getting the bag over her but she cut her way free and turned her eyes on me. She was less then a foot away. I felt myself freezing up but shook it off. I was able to stab her and plug her with a crossbow bolt as we fought. Her arrows though poisoned me. They were potent. I can lead you all to her. If I had a mirror I might have been able to do more.

Dustin will lead the others, Just hope she doesn't go into the chamber with those Drow statues. Then we will have a lot to worry about at the same time. Bildaweer hope you have some big bang spells.

You speak with the guard again, and he opens the chamber. Same as last time, those of you with darkvision see a tunnel beyond, with a second locked door slowly materializing out of the darkness. When the main door closes behind you, the second slowly rumbles open, dumping you into a hallway that forces you to immediately decide between left and right.
OOC:
Dustin knows the way to where the Medusa was when he was here. Are you all going immediately to her location or are you doing other work in this place first? If you want to go directly there, I can give you the full details of the path you walk as well as a map so you know what's going on. If you want to do something else first, let me know. :)

Cemos runs over to dustin to look him over.
OOC:
if he is poisoned i will spend the 5 pts or loh to heal it and depending on how wounded he is use a spell of hands to heal him.

OOC:
so if cemos could heal and move to the target he would but if that wouldn't work he would definitely heal first.

Cemos I don't think the poison is long lasting. Just damaging. I think I am currently 13 hp down.

Cemos runs over to dustin muttering in dwarven and gesturing with his hands. As he approaches dusting a bright golden light emits from his hands and he begins to heal his wounds.
OOC:

"Thank you Cemos, we should be prepared for her archery and gaze. I was less then a foot away from her when she tried that and I wondered if you all would find a statue of me. I don't know what means of protection we could work up. We should be prepared though."

i really want to try blinfolded defensive combat. Just go in with shield and + ac spell. I can try the taunt but it kinda sucks. I could always just try talking trash to her and see what happens lol. Be like i thought you were supposedly once a beautiful woman but after what my boy dustin said i knew i had to come in here blindfolded cuz you face is broke.... oh and your weave is trash...lol

Other than invisibility and then surprising her, I don't have any further ideas to deal with her eyes.

Mentor use Ozzy's senses he doesn't need to see and yet can fly about, won't that let you target her without having your eyes open ? Also if you wish me to be invisible again I am not adverse to it.

Heartboiler grunts, thinking about how blind combat was such an annoying part of training. I need to get close to be effective, I have had some training with kind combat, but never in a group like this. I'm afraid my instincts tell me to hit one of you if I can't see. So I will keep my eyes uncovered, I will try my best to avoid her gaze, holding Cloudstrike in front of me, but I have to focus on destroying her! Perhaps I can try distracting her with my spirit warriors, but other than that... She chuckles darkly.

Bildaweer summons Ozzy to fly ahead of everyone. He casts invisibility once again on Dustin and proceeds to face the Medusa. Let's go.

For the sake of sensemaking, I'm going to shift around some of Bilda's actions. :)
You all reach the end of the tunnel and find yourselves at a T juncture, with new paths stretching off to the left and to the right. Dustin quietly looks around and turns left, heading off down that tunnel. You proceed down, the tunnel being very narrow. It bends and weaves for a few hundred feet, but Dustin keeps his pace, looking about every so often as if retracing things in his head.

The path bends back on itself sharply, leading to a set of stairs climbing up. As you all proceed up the path, Dustin slows, moving more deliberately as you go, as quietly as he can. When you reach the top, some 300 feet or so ahead, you find yourselves in a large room with a staircase off to the left, and two paths in front of you. This chamber is full of softly dancing lights in every hue imaginable. You see massive crystal formations growing up from the ground, and the statue of the deep gnome that Dustin had mentioned is standing near the center, cowering by a crystal. In one hand he holds a chunk of the semi-transparent stone, almost as if he was looking through it. Peering through the large crystals, you can easily tell that they distort the image beyond pretty substantially.

Dustin gestures to the leftmost of the two tunnels leading away from this room and makes a motion with his hands that look like snakes on his head.

Bildaweer, at this point, casts Invisibility on Dustin. Ozzy flies off towards the entrance to the chamber, and sees that the tunnel is about 50 feet long, and a dark chamber sits at the other end.

Dustin wants to see if there are any loose crystals.

He inspects the stairs for anything new. He will get his short sword and dagger ready.
Nov 7, 2017 8:57 pm
Dustin, you do spot four chunks of crystal lying on the ground that are about as large as your fist. The other pieces you can see are either too large for most to pick up, at nearly the size of Bildaweer, or too small to take notice of. The stairs look about the same as they did an hour ago.
Nov 7, 2017 10:21 pm
Whispers to Bildaweer,
"Here maybe you can figure out what these are. If she isnt in her lair check the room at the top of the stairs." hands of crystals.
