Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
[The others look to your leadership??]
All awaken.
Narrhill recovers completely from fatigue and his mind refills with the intricacies of all of his magics. The memories of the harp's song remain sharp. Even the inking across his hands seems somehow more purposeful.
The other two are more groggy though, stretching and yawning yet, and holding their tongues.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Narrhil ponders then speaks, "we can do naught but wait!"
He share the magical bowl with his comrades, the strew providing the liquid they need also.
"We cannot be certain how many will come through the portal or when, but if a time-travelling portal, it not matter how long we wait. We will still arrive where we need to once we have got the key!"
This he hopes, as he has no comprehension of how it works.

[An Instant replay....]
NARHILL awakens, recovered completely from fatigue and his mind refills with the intricacies of all of his magics. The memories of the harp's song remain sharp. Even the inking across his hands seems somehow more purposeful.
HE ponders then speaks, "we can do naught but wait!"
Luckily He shared the magical bowl with his comrades before their slumber, the strew providing the liquid they needed also.
"We cannot be certain how many will come through the portal or when, but if a time-travelling portal, it not matter how long we wait. We will still arrive where we need to once we have got the key!"
This he hopes, as he has no comprehension of how it works.
His comrades do not rally though.
holding their tongues.
Narrhill looks beyond the limp form of TILLAK. But the dome is empty. No sign of the thief.
His pack is gone as well. And Narrhil's pockets seem suddenly light!
[NARRHIL roll d12!]

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
"Well, honour amongst thieves," whispered Narrhil to himself, wondering if Tillak was missing anything.
Still, apprehensively the cryomancer wonders if Kéet had got through the portal. "Master Tillak, if you can hear, this places is absorbing comrades as quickly as they arrive. We, need to make haste and end his horror, before it takes more of us!"

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Narrhil hears a rustling and several bottles rolling outside the room.
A shadow appears at the far end of the secret tunnel entrance.
Then in slowly squeezes a 20 foot long pallid white segmented worm with pale blue ridge and with a three-foot-long tail stinger and a round maw lined with three rows of fangs.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
"Great Yikkorth; Ashen Worm, You have sent a messenger to assist, my greatest thanks. Narrhil goes to one knee, head down in supplication.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
The worm circles the round domed chamber and settles along the wall behind Narrhil, atop the 6 ft depression in the stone.

It exhales thrice, tucks its tail, and closes its eyes.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Narrhil ponders the ritual, 'is it going to sleep?' he thinks.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
The worm's eyes remain closed as its breathing regulates through it fanged mouth.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
"Another conundrum," curses Narrhil,
"Great Yikkorth, what is you are telling me?" Narrhil's head bows again.
