(I/C)
Wyn drew his sword, cursing, “Putain de merde! You 'ave to buy me dinna first, you meunier de crustacé sale!" He lunged forward (>+3 to hit, Orange 14) short sword skittering across the crab spider’s carapace (1d6+1 Damage, Orange 1 – 2 Damage!) scoring a deep line but failing to run the beast through. "Rod it, Offop! Rod it 'ard"
"Señor Wynds,”Abraxas called still holding the rope, “get behind my shield! There is a potion in my bag, make some crab cakes or get out of the room. Rapido amigo!"
Lannis yanked the Ishtari Rod out of his robe, yelling, “Wyn, get out of the way!” and waiting just long enough for the elf to leap back from the reaching arms of the Crab Spider before swinging it forward and firing (1d3+1 Bolts: Pink 5: 4 Bolts) the magic forward. Long bolts tore from the front of the Rod (+5 to hit, >Pink 12, >Pink 9, >Green 19, <Teal 6). The spider skittered forward giving chase to the elf when the first bolt ripped into its rear section (1d6 Damage, Pink 3), slammed through its thorax (1d6 Damage, White 4 and Killed!!) and the third ripped two of its rear legs off (1d6 Damage, Red 1 and Extra Damage!!), the fourth bolt missing and slamming into the fireplace but the Crab Spider was already rolling to a stop unmoving.
“I am OWNING this place!” Lannis held the Rod aloft with a flourish before putting it back into his belt.
(WMC: Red/Black 5) The group waited a few moments for the sounds of combat to fade until they were sure that none of the local denizens heard the fight and were coming to investigate. They all released a collective breath and then relaxed.
Abraxas took out his Healing Potion and handed it to Wyn who took with a fast “Merci” and then popped the wax seal and rank it down (Heal 1d6, White/Pink 3 – Heal 3), visibly relaxing as his wounds scabbed over and faded to red and yellow blotches.
“Ok!” Lannis released his shuddering breath. “So, back to the books!”
“Really?” Lyra asked. “Are we sure?”
“Come on,” he replied. “That can’t happen twice.” He pointed into the room. “It’s right over there. I’ll be fast and careful.”
Wyn smiled. “Go, Monsieur. I’ll wait here.”
“I have your rope, Senor.”
Going back to the shelf, Lannis proceeded to dig through the shelves while the oil burned and the party watched and waited. Eventually Lannis had grabbed 3 books and two scroll from the almost 100 that were still there. “What did you find, Manling?”
“Well, given the sheer amount here to look through I kept my search parameter two the 4 instances I said earlier: Castle, Keys, Goddesses, or Magic. And I have the following items. A book about a Prince Ellis, Knight of the Goddesses. A tome that detailed something about the Mother of Monsters and her Progeny. A book that talks about Rowena of Havenwood, Ishtari Magister. And there were 2 scrolls as well, one that had Read Magic in it, and the other that had a more difficult spell, Detect Invisibility.”
“Ooo,” Wyn said, “Zat might come in ‘andy.”
Holding the 3 books and 2 scrolls, Lannis nodded in agreement, “Hell yeah.” (Add 3 Scriptorium Book [25 each] to Inventory and Scrolls of Read Magic and Detect Invisibility [1 each] to Inventory)
