The creature takes up all of the room below... what does it look like?
Edit:Come to think of it, do I see where the individual hallway I was following retracted into the creature?
edit2: after several re-reads, I realized I might have misinterpreted the turn. You referenced descending into the chamber below, though i was talking about looking into it. I am willing to step on the creature as long as its on frozen over areas. I will do so ((clarity edit3: and am descending)) to try to find out what it might have done to ebony and cho. If I see the contracted hallway they probably were tricked by, the one Ive followed this entire time, I will continue to chill it but stay out of line from it in case it rapidly extends. I am attempting to determine if the creature is truly weak to cold or not by doing so, and if it keeps retracting far enough it might expose my team for extraction.
same rule of freeze the creature anywhere im going to touch it applies.
You can only see the surface immediately below you. before you frosted it over, it looked like dull grey metal. You haven't got a sense of the shape of the thing, but it reminds you of an anemone or other filter feeder. You are standing above the hole into which your individual hallway retracted. There is no opening in the 'skin' of the beast there. Your previous action post had you chilling the creature if you needed to in order to descend. I only was clarifying that you would have to step on the creature, not that you did.
You leap down onto the creature. It feels harder than you expected - like an actual metal wall. And it is, of course, quite cold. You feel the frost under your feet crunch as you step. the Creature seems unaffected bythe weight or the Frost overall, as it still moves and shifts under you. You search around, but find no entrance where the hallway once was. Nor do you find a way around the creature or further down - the creature seems to press up against the walls of its enclosure, at least, where you are. You are able to easily leap back out of the hole, should you choose to do so.
Oh, the hole you are in is about eight feet to a side, and is sloped rather than a straight drop. All exposed creature flesh is frosted as well as a bit of the walls. When the thing shifts, you can occasionally make out unfrosted bits of 'skin' as well, however. looks like your frost didn't spread much beyond the hole itself.
Shoot another silk stream so ebony can climb up then use touch of decay to kill the moss growing on my body.
Once the moss is removed touch the wall and see what, if anything, happens..
((My +2 magic isn't what it used to be ))
Your magic is fine, it's just not an automatic success. The +2 is why you were able to make the rope, get ist fastened properly ,and use it as a safety, as well as being able to climb the wall to begin with. Anyway, yu spin out another rope and leave both dangle for Ebony, then shed the remaining moss from yourself. Are you trying to use touch of decay on the wall, or just touching it in general?
If they're within eyeshot of Noir, then they're certainly fine to hunt. Dar'yajira will stealthily approach them, but won't attack quite yet--he want to observe and determine what sort of creatures they are first, whether they have armor, or sharp bits, etc.
I rolled a "do these things have sharp bits" roll (1) yeah, they are like flying lizards with spiked ridges on their backs and sharp claws and teeth. Individually, they are smaller than Dar, like geckos and salamanders and such. If they swarmed, the could be trouble, but otherwise, Dar should have little trouble with a few of them.
((MOTHERFUCKER NOTIFICATIONS YOU HAVE FAILED ME UTTERLY))
Noir would quietly try the lichen that dar had provided her if it seemer perfectly fine and dandy she would est it
Noir shakes and rubs their head quietly seemingly waking out of some kinda strange daze.
((Notifications haven't rang once ;-;))
Noir sits and eats lichen for a bit. refreshing. it tastes terrible, but she is less hungry now.
Well, trying to go through the monster's... other exit, seems like it'd just get us down some more of it's digestive system. An option but not one I'd like.
The moss - does it seem dangerous? Can I figure out what causes it to grow?
Check if the stream of silk is sturdy enough to hold my weight. If yes, up we go. If no, inform Cho and ask if he can try to make it sturdier.
The moss seems dangerous. it's part of teh creature's digestive system, and is trying to eat you. (6) yo uluck out and aren't bleedingfrom the rash yet. So far, it is more an inconvenience than a health problem, but it has covered your entire lower half by now, most of your back, part of your arms and face as well. Cho's rope can hold you. Let's see how well you climb. Hmm, dex is 0, strength is -1. (1) you get about two feet off the floor, and fall right back into the puddle of ... stomach juice or something.
