Turn One Hundred and Nineteen!Level Three of the Temple of SefThe six adventurers crowd round the door out of this silly trapped ninja-room, ignoring the dying occupants and the advances and nuzzles of their various new or exchanged companions. One adventurer looks at the others, the others look back with a meaningful nod, and the door is kicked in!
Sylvanna is first in; the rest stack up behind her, peering over her shoulders.
A large, square, and clearly sinister room opens up before them, lit by curious and probably evil purple glowing stones in the ceiling, which offset Sylvanna’s sickly pale skin in quite a lovely, she thinks, way. The first thing to note is, in the centre of the room, what looks like some kind of large, flat altar made of stone, hollowed out underneath as if to hold some kind of receptacle. The top of the altar is just above waist height, and a few stone steps lead up to it on the left.
On every wall hang strange and fearsome looking drapes and tapestries, depicting repulsive scenes of creatures and men and women, in which many of the creatures seem disturbingly anthropomorphised, and many of the men unhealthily hirsute.
Between the altar and the far wall, there is a long table, covered in a longer tablecloth and various implements, books, bowls, drinking glasses, and so forth. Behind this table sits a man, a fairly old looking man, dressed in what is very clearly meant to be an ominous robe, and as Sylvanna enters he rises unexcitedly to his feet. As he rises he turns to the man on his right – your left – and speaks.
”Hmm. They seem to have perverted the mind of Jack the Hippo. Well. Nigel, perhaps they are stronger than I imagined…. Or merely more perverted. Anyway, we must stop them at all costs, and use them if we can! Hahahahahahahahahahahahah!”His laugh seems unnecessarily over the top, and after about 20 seconds of it even he seems to notice this, and turns back to face Sylvanna and the other adventurers.
”You will pay for your meddling, fools! Nirila should have had you thrown into jail and eaten you alive! No doubt something led him astray. Or somethings,” he muses, staring past Sylvanna at Lady Foxglove.
He pulls his hands from the depths of his robes, and flashes them towards both walls at once, whereupon five vicious looking sheep appear out of nowhere on each side, and immediately bare their teeth and baa menacingly at the intruders.
”Attack, faithful sheep! Attack! And you, Nigel, you idiot, warn Nirila at once!”The ovinomancer raises his hands once more, this time at the party.
