OOC: We're in a pickle!!

ICC: Tillak snarls an his own foolishness and the situation that he and his companions are in."Ythaqqa's blood and bloody bones! Curse my eyes!!"

OOC: How heavy is the net? 

The net feels thick and heavy, a corded twine, and damp. Very hard for Tillak to maneuver underneath it. And dense enough to halve the light.
 

Tillak's eyes gleam with magical force as his force propels against the heaviness of the dense net. The edges propel against the near wall pulling the three entangled adventurers to the ground!

Kondor, shocked at this sudden imprisonment, barks as the Warlock lunges toward the wall.
[Kondor roll d6]

Kondor manages to slip out from underneath the heavy net - just as the figures reach him and his trapped comrades. They are beast men but dressed in fine trimmed velvets. Their shaggy manes combed and braided. 

"Do not resist. Please remain calm and we will release you. We require your assistance. "

The speaking beast man nods to several of the others, who in turn lift the net, freeing the cleric and warlock.
"Forgive us, but we have waited a long time for this opportunity. We could not chance it slipping by."

ooc: "Turdsmith" sounds like a 0-level profession in DCC rpg. They have gong farmer, but this would be the supply side version.

"To undo this terrible thing that you have done. He will be pleased with you and therefore unsuspecting. For us, this horrible punishment," he motions to his pantaloons and corset vest,  "can be ended at last."

"Aye, your paths crossed with ours more than once before, Barbarian, but alas that was now 12 years ago, when your hands freed Peneleus the Terrible from his tomb hidden deep within our own hills.

"The tale is thus: For countless seasons the dark sky ship has come to reclaim its son, laid forever trapped in these lands by the sorcerers of old who understood his treachery and his danger.

"For those same centuries the beast men have quested to find this dark lord and be gone of the dark sky visitors for all, for their mercies are not tender upon the beast men..."

Here the beast men hang their heads in forlorn unison.

"We followed that evil esquimeaux witch who promised to find him, until she went mad, and confessed to seeking only his crown and disappeared into the deep snows of Nightfall. We were on our own again. Until the day 12 years nigh when the dark lord himself wandered into our very village. He was nothing of his reputation and easily placed upon the fire spike. Our offering was immediate, But the dark sky refused him.

"And once we followed you lot inside the mountain and saw you still as statues staring down upon an eternal prison, we understood our folly.

"Then he was re-known, and the whole of the world answered quickly, all manner of all race banded together, each's magic melded to force a dome over this entire land. With him inside. And us...his new..toys.

"And you. Now awakened can end him. He will be glad to see those that freed his bonds. You will be able to get very close... and use this against him..."

Here he slides a thin bronze rod with a stylized saber tooth head from his velvet's sleeve.

"And he can be given to the dark sky ship."

He cocks his head slightly, as if smelling something upon the air.

ooc: I posted too late. It seems like the answer was already given.
