PBEM - Episode 533. Doing stuff. Locusts

FIVE HUNDRED THIRTY THREE

(I/C)

Looking around, Kovid pointed to his chest and asked, “Lady Lyra, I could use a boost to get back into tip too fighting a shape should Aine be so generous.”

“Sure thing,” She replied with a smile and rubbing hands. “Today sounds like it’s going to be an easy enough day. Let’s lay out some sweet sweet Aine blessings. Let’s have a continual Heal, Summer Goddess, for my main dwarf here please!” (Continual Heal on the “:x0’s” – White d4+1, White 2+1=3 = heal 3). “There you go,” she said with a smile, turning to the Fighter. “Abraxas, you’re next. Unfortunately that was my beefier heal but let’s see what Aine can do for you.”

“Gracias, Senora,” he said, eyes closed and tensed up waiting.

“Aine, give me a Cure Light for Master Abraxas as well, please!” (CLW: 1d6+1: White 5+1=6, Heal 6!) “How do you feel after that? Think you need more? If not you guys can decide who gets my last one.”

"Gracias Señora, necessity mi fuerza por lucho con Los Guardianos y El Decampus. Que ahora amigos? El Jardin? El Ballista? Los Locutuses de Borg?"

“Let me know if you want the second one,” she whispered to him.

“Will do,” he moved his arms as if testing them out and gave a non-committal jerk of his shoulders. “Señora Laitra, sabes cuando Cortgarp hace Revanantes, si?"

She looked at him and furrowed her brows as if thinking, “Not sure where this…”

He tried again, slower, "You know when he makes mas Undeads, yes?"

“Ah! I have felt something before while we’re in here. Aine isn’t a fan of the undead, you know.”

"Tu feel una surge de darkness, correcto? Si que es correcto, sabemos si tiene hacer mas Revanantes."

“Er, um, you lost me there again, Abraxas,” she replied weakly.

Smiling, Abraxas tried it again, slower, "There is a surge of darkness? Eef that es correct... then we know eef he has making more Revenantes."

“Yep! Yep indeedy do.”

“We should go clean the bandages and stuff, maybe get the potions,” Kovid suggested.

Wyn looked around, the group was standing at the top of the stairs leading down to the Sulfur area and have been for a bit. “Um, dwarfriend, we already did all doze tings.”

“Ah! Yeah! I knew that! Haw haw! Thor Damn, these days are getting long.”

Abraxas meanwhile was handing out the 5 potions, making sure that each person had 1, and was going to give the 2 extras to Lyra. The elf raised his hand and pointed to a second potion for himself. “Tank you fer de potion. I would argue dat I should take anodder in case someone else needs emergency healing. Corfard needs Wyn alive, so it not likely dat he be trying ta kill me.”

"Puentes excellente, Señor Wynderman,” Abraxas said, handing Wyn a second potion, “Tu take los potions.”

“Merci. Don’t tink keepin all de healing in de basket of de Priestess would be good.” Brendon and Abraxas add 1 Healing potion, Wyn add 2 Healing potions, Lyra add 2 healing potions.

Brendon shrugged, “If we’re still thinking of the locust area and what’s hidden in there, throw a resist fire on me and let’s light em up.”

The elf chuckled, “Well let’s head ova to de stairs… iffin Priestess has any more spells fer fire protection, I tink setting du Lac on fire en sending him in dere makes sense. Wyn will just be standing at de base of de stairs, listening to see iffin anyting comes down.”

Lannis shook his head, "We could go fight something, or we could go over to the steam baths? Huhhhhh? Steam baths? Nah, if we do go looking we should be careful, I have my scrys back, can't look for specific things since I haven't seen them but I could check rooms."

“I know you ‘ave an irrational fear o de bugs, Offop, we all get it.”

“Not a fear. Just no locusts.”

Wyn tilted his head back, “If we no want locusts, den we can patrol de first floor den walk up to de second floor to see iffin we find anytin to fight. I don’t think going afta Decampus yet ees a good idea. We should be as tip top as possible, oui?”

“Let’s go check out the bugs,” Kovid said, “Most of us are good with it.”

The party started walking, taking their time as they trod through the Castle. As they went along, Wyn suggested, “I also tink trying to make anodder manastone in de Observatory tonight would be a good use of time, oui? Dat be later, but I didn’t hear any response to dat before so I thought I bring it up again.”

The Fighter nodded, “Si! Y una manastone es una idea buena tambien."

They made good time, passing through the Spy area, heading down near the Beekeepers section. Kovid smiled as they walked (Cont Heal pulse 1d4+1 #2: Yellow 4+1=5 (nice!)), some of hurts becoming less. They passed the orc barracks and went beyond Seth’s area, entering the caverns and then coming eventually to the hall with the Stairs going up or the NE cavern passage heading to the locust area.

“Well?” Lannis asked with a scowl. “Now that we’re here in this stupid area, what stupid plan are we going to stupidly do in a stupid way?”

Time now is Day 12, 9:25 AM

(OOC)

Continual Heal – 3 pulses on the “:x0’s” for Kovid

Don’t know what the cut off was, but only did 1 heal on Abraxas – if you want to do a second, let me know (currently at 12 pts damage – 23/35)

Alright! At the end of the Locust Area – what’s the plan?
