Battle of the Barrels Round 1 Calamity Vs Spider 1 - Special Damage Calamity is struck by the spider’s Web Spinner Special and is Slowed Kelim Vs Spider 2 - Frenzy Ten Damage to All Spiders Terry Vs Spider 3- Hit terry deals 8 damage to spider. Spider # is KO Rethinal Vs Spider 4 - Damage Rethinal takes 3 damage Muradin Vs Spider 1 - Damage Muradin takes 3 damage Free Hits Spider 5 attacks Calamity for 3 damage Spider 6 attacks Keliim but does no damage Spider 7 Attacks Terry for 2 Damage The Cadre begins their journey into the Parlor by triggering a trap, and Calamity soon finds that Spider silk is as strong as all of those scholars say. Their luck changes as Kelim strides into the fray nearly killing each and every spider in the Melee. Terry sends forth a Burst of wind, spinning his spider into the wall and claiming the right to first kill. Rethinal and Muradin however both find themselves in a tangled embrace and wince as fangs strike home. Unable to move out of the way fast enough Calamity takes a near dilapidating hit from an un-accosted spider. A second arachnid attempts to sink its fangs into Keliim, but the barbarian uses his head and the creature merely dents its fangs on his helm. A third and final spider takes revenge for its fellow and sinks its fangs into Terry. Causing enough blood loss to make the country boy think twice about life as a hero.

I would be honored to follow Annienal. The lady knight has proven herself more than competent and unflagging in battle. Would you lead us Annienal?

"White uniforms? Some sort religious or militant order? It would seem we may be in a race. Well then it would seem we need to appoint a leader and be on our way before we are left too far behind. Three Volunteers, what say the rest of you?"

I have spent my share of time on the path of leadership as well. I would take the mantle if it is wished of me. My father too Devoted his life to that of a Root Binderl. Though in the frigid north the Earth as well as its people must be made of sterner stuff than here is the softer south. You bring honor to your vocation with your dedication Slyph Solanum.

No read that wrong. If he started at full he would be at full. My bad.

Unless you are a class that heals at the end of a battle it would be 50/51.

Vindsval accepts the shake from the cloaked figure. "Well met. Tell me Slyph Solanum, you are obviously one of experience, with many leagues beneath you feet. How does it come to be that you are a stranger to all of us here?"

Vindsval chuckles once more. If it is within my abilities you will have your chunk, my diminutive employer. The newly minted Witch turns and surveys his companions. Annienal and Warlen he is beginning to know quite well, but these other two. Let me see he thinks to himself. The dwarf I have spoken to in passing, if I remember correctly he is about as soft tempered as the ore his people mine. The Metal Clad Tumbleweed on the other hand is an unknown quantity. A creature which hides even its eyes from those around it is hard to trust. Greetings Throlar It is long since we first spoke. It would seem we are to trod the same path after all. He moves to where Annienal is speaking with the druid. He extends a massive hand to him. May your Path Find your Goals, I am Vindsval called the Half-Born.

He sees only his reflection floating in front of a glowing yellow crystal. The Were-Eagle goes to the barrels and begins shifting them around. The Top barrel, through in pristine condition is empty. He removes it from the pile and searches the bottom two. The right barrel has a small plaque on the top reading "The effects of ones actions must be dealt with accordingly" He pries off the lid and finds A Remedy. But before he can examine the third barrel he sees Calamity Poking the spider in its web. ​As Calamity steps forward to get within reach of the web she hear a small "CLICK". She looks down to see she has just stepped on a small plaque affixed to the floor. It reads "A wise warrior knows when not to poke into the affairs of others." AS she finishes reading the inscription the top of the front chest at the right of the room begins to open slowly. First one, then Five, the innumerable legs lift bloated black bodies over the lip of the Chest.

Obviously an ambulatory tumbleweed that rolled through an ironworks.

Sounds very . . . . . secretive.

Makes me think I might be in the presence of greatness.

Vindsval moves up to the two figures in the clearing just in time to hear the boy. After the drab and dour environs and locals of the deep desert he finds the boys enthusiasm both welcome and soul warming. He smiles warmly, hopefully the boy interprets it that way, and greets the youngling. "Greetings small one. I am called Vindsval. Tell us, what is it you wish us to do for you?"

The barbarian reaches for the Chest and notices an inscription on the lock plate. "Sleep lightly with one eye open." The Dwarf opens the chest with no resistance. inside he finds a Bedroll (Allows the user to rest and regain health and ether in a safe place.)

QM: better, you can only look at one thing at a time. I want to give as many chances as I can for people to interact with the environment.

Not Locked, just firmly shut. And you will need to be more specific than "Check all the stuff."

Again, Gremlins. Does Heroica have a race of Gremlins? If not, someone figure out a fig build to represent the little buggers.

That's not his stats, Warlen just drinks a lot when he writes in his spellbook.

Vindsval sees Annienal exit the Hall. Hold Up Annienal, allow a Friend to share your Journey.

South it is. The Party make an abrupt turn on their heels and exit the Altar Room through the door directly IN FRONT of the Portal Altar. They enter into what oddly enough appears to be some sort of STORAGE room. Multiple crates and Barrels are stacked in the far corners of the room. Other than a few stray cobwebs and the light orbs the room seems to be fairly Mundane. As the last member of the group enters the room the door swings shut behind them with a solid reverberating CLANK of metal on metal.

Gremlins.

QM: When the Party leader announces his decision we will move on.

Kelim reaches out and touches the glowing orb. It is smooth and strangely cool to the touch, encased within the orb is a glowing yellow stone. Though it gives off a pure white light it gives off no heat. Even to a barbarian it is obviously a magical device of some kind.

He would also like to pay for a pair for me as well.
